Remove – This is the button that banishes the tares from the wheat field.Move your images around and position them exactly in the order they were meant to be. Up / Down – They say what goes up must come down.This is the button to push for such operations. Replace – In a set with many images, you may want to change a certain picture in the set without disrupting the order of the other images.Add – This button lets you add images to your image-set.But before you give in to the temptation of pushing the buttons of the Image Assembler, let's get into a proper explanation for what they all do: The buttons that define your buttonsBricks, buttons – what's the difference? Perhaps not so much in visual terms in this case. Clear – Why erase every brick on the board by hand when there is this tool available?.Insert – Ever wanted to add a new board right in the middle of your board-set? Use this command to insert a blank board exactly where you want it.Paste (Ctrl+V) – Whether you copied it or cut it out, whatever is on your clipboard will be pasted exactly where you paste it.Copy (Ctrl+C) – Copy your entire board to the internal clipboard, but be careful to not replace the cut.You are allowed to cut out any board you want, but only the last cut will be stored on the clipboard. Cut (Ctrl+X) – Get your board-set scissors ready.Redo (Ctrl+Y) – There are times when you either go too far back or you're just not sure if the choices you made were all that bad after all.Undo (Ctrl+Z) – Did you ever make a mistake that you truly regretted? With this feature, you can undo them all.Your board designing is a serious art and therefore requires serious tools: It's board design time.Įdit menuThe Edit menu is where things get hardcore. Amazing, isn't it? Or maybe you didn't like those bricks, in which case you can always load another brick-set. Open any one of your choice, and the respective brick-set will now be loaded into the palette in the main window. As you would guess by the file names, these are brick-sets. Once you're in, look for the image-set files named 'BrickSetJim', 'PhilippeBrickSet', 'SeumasBrick' and 'AnniversaryBricks'. For most users, this should be located under '\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DX-Ball 2 - 20th Anniversary Edition\Boards\Board Pack 1'. Just navigate to the directory of your DX-Ball 2: 20th Anniversary Edition installation and dig all the way into the Board Pack 1 subdirectory. If the file browser does not target the Board Pack 1 directory, or you are unable to see any image-set files, all hope is not lost. So take a deep breath and click the Select button for the Brick Set loader: But there is a reason for that, and that is because you cannot create any boards before you load a brick-set into the palette first. Step 4: Loading a brick-setI know you're itching to create your first board right now, and yet there is more torment to read through. We'll be digging into all of these treats just below. The Board Set section takes care of all the controls and settings pertaining to the board-set itself, while the Current Board section contains some controls for navigating between your boards, selecting backgrounds for your boards, and behold: a move tool for shifting the position of your board designs on the canvas.
The complementing sidekick, the control panel window, covers all the technical details for your board-set, divided into a Board Set section and a Current Board section: The main window comprises the menu bar, the canvas, hint panel, tools panel and the palette. Once the Game Editor is open, you will be presented with the board-set editor itself in the main window, and a retro-looking control panel with various options in a separate window. Make sure that neither application is running in the background when trying to open one or the other, as they otherwise will fail to launch. When you launch DX-Ball 2: 20th Anniversary Edition from the Steam client application, a dialogue box will appear on the screen with the options to launch the game itself or the Game Editor.
The DX-Ball 2 Editor, or Game Editor, is the host application that covers all the editing tools for the game, including the Image Assembler, the Workshop Helper, and, of course, the board-set editor itself.
