About Level Sharing

[Derek]

Levels are saved as ".lvl" files in the levels directory of your Spelunky folder.  To share a level with other players here on the forum:

1. Open up the file in a text editor (e.g. Notepad)
2. Copy the level data, and then paste it here on the forum.
3. Other users can copy that data and save it to a .lvl file to play on their own computer.

Use an appropriate message icon to label how difficult the level is!

[Derek]

I just added the new message icons to label your levels with: EASY, MED, HARD, and OMG!  Some of the existing level threads were edited just to show you how they work.  The authors of these levels should feel free to change them around if you think I mislabeled them.

Dude, seriously now? Nobody replied to this thread?

[marsgreekgod]

Why on earth would we?

...How do you save it to a .lvl file?  *is embarrassed*

[Sparkle]

if you're using Notepad, just put .lvl after the file name

Press F2 to edit and F3 to play.

You didn't have to necro an old stickied forum post to ask that.

[Wonkyth]

It's not necroing if it's stickied.

Get Editor Plus (much better than vanilla editor)

[KarjamP]

Editor Plus isn't compatible with vanilla Spelunky.

Besides, I don't think he had asked "What's a better than Spelunky's level editor".

[Skoke]

Well it does have the doors that say edit and custom
and its not that big a deal to play editor plus for custom levels
