more and more sets

Hello,
I have a really nasty problem:
I want to make two level groups in
my levels folder: "My levels" and "Downloads",
but R'n'D always creates a new folder called "Sascha"
in my levels folder. I want to
have two level group folders and not thousends of
"Sascha"-levels.
Can you delete this action?
(so often the word "folder"!!!)

I understand what do you mean. I think I have a solution how to override this behavior, but I'm not sure if it will work. Move the directory "Sascha" (that RnD always creates) into "My levels" and rename "My levels" directory to "sascha". When you do this, RnD will not create new directory "sascha", because it can't - directory "sascha" already exists. However, it will call the directory "my levels" instead of "sascha", because correct levelgroup name ("my levels") is written in levelinfo.conf.

Correct, I also believe it works like this. That is the way I solved it.

Because your username is "Sascha" it always creates an empty levelset with that name.

Or use
rndTest -user=gulp
Don't know if this works for your purpose, but try it and post the result.
Thanks.

Wow, I dind't know
that it's so easy! It worked.

I had never found out that.

Thank you very much.

But I think it would be better when
there were an option with that you can
make a set in the game:
Name the set and press a button: "create"
then R'n'D asks you how many levels
and "level group?".
Do you know what I mean?

Yep, this are very handy for users, who create many levelsets.

A question: Changing the user in RnD itself (first menu entry), don't bring the same result?

Yes, I think...
But with a right creator it would be better
wouldn't it?

Btw: what about a setup option that disables automatic creation of user's levelset?

I like Tomi's idea.
