File Menu
New …(Ctrl+N)
Creates a new level file (.wwd file). I strongly recommend not starting a new level this way. Instead, it is recommended that you use a "template level" to begin your new level. Simply copy the "template level" and rename it and make sure to keep a backup of your "template" levels.
Open …(Ctrl+O)
Opens an existing level file (.wwd file). 1 A dialog box will open. If your Custom folder contents are displayed, go to step 3. 2 Use the navigation gadgets to locate your Custom folder within your Gruntz folder. 3 Use the slider gadgets to display the name of the Custom Level you want to load. 4 Select the Custom Level. Method 1 Click on the Custom Level name, then click on "Open". Method 2 Double-click on the Custom Level name. Open a template, using the above method, then immediately do a "Save as" with your new Custom Level name. In the Gruntz Level Editor ZIP archive, there are 8 Quest templatez and 8 Battle templatez. I (GooRoo) have created my own set of 8 very small (28 X 16) Quest templatez that you may download from here: Area 1 - Rocky Roadz Area 2 - Gruntziclez Area 3 - Trouble In The Tropicz Area 4 - High on Sweetz Area 5 - High Rollerz Area 6 - Honey, I Shrunk The Gruntz Area 7 - (The) Miniature Masterz Area 8 - Gruntz Iin Space
Save (Ctrl+S)
Saves your current level. If it has not been saved previously, you will be prompted for a name.
Save As…
Saves the current level under a new file name. After opening an existing "template level", use this feature to save the level as a new level. This is the recommended method for starting a new level.
Printing to Bitmap… (Ctrl+P)
This is a VERY useful feature for analyzing the levels for playability stuff and overall layout design. Ctrl+P (or "File | Print To Bitmap") will bring up a dialog where you can enter the bitmap filename, choose the scale value (100%, 50%, 25%, or 12%) and specify whether or not you want the objects printed as well. The current plane/layer is then dumped (in it's entirety) to the specified file and you can then use your favorite paint program to view and/or print it.
Print Setup...
Opens a Windows dialog box to select a printer, and set options, number of copies, etc.
