Captial letters are in example.ini. This article doesn't mention debuildlevel.exe and that should have it's own article anyway. |

Akai: Curious (because I'm ignorant) - Does debuild give things the capital letters as used all over this article just for kicks, or is there some other point to it?
Akai: the "of course" was just an insinuation that .wa2 and .bm2 are the same type of thing, not meant as (eg) "Windows is, of course, gay" :p
"as with .wa2, of course" - because the two extensions function in the same manner
imo care should be taken when attributing tone or emotionality to _text_ (if you have to at all)
Smong: Captial letters are in example.ini. This article doesn't mention debuildlevel.exe and that should have it's own article anyway.
Akai: I just had a dirty urge to decapitalize everything (OutFile to outfile, etc) because I personally never bother and y'know the newbs, give something a capital letter and they'll think it's required (unless of course it matters). :p
Smong: Hey! If you can change Subspace to SubSpace I think I am allowed to keep OutFile >:(
Akai: So you actually take the time to type caps for all those? Do you type IMAGE?
Smong: No I use copy and paste. If I want to make some lvz I usually find an .ini that is similar to what I want and edit it a little, no point writing the whole lot by hand every time.
Akai: Ya...well, I can type a word or two faster than I can find an existing .ini, open it, find what I want, copy it, go back to my new document and paste.
move to Buildlevel
Anybody have anything against moving this page to buildlevel and reformatting it a bit to fit? I'll leave the redirect. --Cyan~Fire
Smong: Buildlevel isn't the only tool that can make lvz. I don't think you should name the article after the name of a program. Such a page would be similar to the SSME article. A general page encourages experimentation with whatever tools the reader can find (as opposed to a monopoly) and also development of new tools.
But Buildlevel is the only program that uses this type of script, right? There's nothing really general about it. But I'll leave it alone. --Cyan~Fire
Smong: I'm sure k0zy's and bak's tools also read the same script format, even mgb wrote a tool. If a popular tool comes out it would most likely use the same script format (assuming no gui can ever beat the flexibilty of writing the script yourself).
True. --Cyan~Fire
