I see you wish to try and create a level for Neon Defence, first of all there are a LOT of things to potentially go wrong, as you are editing a large string. I have only just gotten around to the editor now and am at 0% of completion...yeah...basically the level data is separated by tags:
g - general data, looks like this:
"g;2,gold,lives" (make sure that 2 is always there!)
t - tile data, looks like this:
"t;1,1,1,1,1|1,2,2,2,1|1,2,3,2,1|1,2,2,2,1|1,1,1,1,1" (0=blank 1=wall 2=road 3=pavement)
level size is 20x20, make sure you stick to that!
w - waypoint data, looks like this:
"w;1,-1|2,21|5,15|12,12=0,1"
the first 2 waypoints are entrance and exit respectively, and are removed from the list. the numbers after the = start on the third value (5,15) which is ID 0
c - creep data, looks like this:
"c;100,0,1,10,0,0|500,0,1,100,1,1=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1|30"
every item before the = is creep stats (hp,armour,speed,worth,type,healRate)
types: 0=normal 1=distracter 2=confused(goes wrong way sometimes)
every item after the = (apart from last, it refers to sending delay) is how creeps are organised in a wave. as we are using gameMode 2 there is only 1 wave, and it gets used over and over.
tw - tower data
tower data is a bit complex, and I dont have time to explain atm...

for delays 30=1 sec, for creep speeds make sure that it fits into 20(1,2,2.5,4,5,10,etc.)
post your level data here and I will add my own tower data

Default level data: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13281778/Neon%20Defence/default%20level%20data.txt

hmm... *goes to write his own editor* :)

lol...I wouldnt bother, I have to develop my own editor and I have knowledge of how all the elements of the game go together ;)
feel free to do a make-shift editor ;)
oh, and for towers, you need 3 sets arranged like this:
"tw;regularName|cost|expToLVL2,exp3,exp4,exp5| rangeAtLevel1,range2,range3,range4,range5|delayBetweenShots1delay2,delay3,delay4,delay5| damage1,damage2,damage3,damage4,damage5|chargeBeforeFiring1,charge2,charge3,charge4,charge5| beamColour1,col2,col3,col4,col5|beamWidth1,width2,width3,width4,width5=<pulse tower data>=<charge tower data>"

I'm just doing it for the fun of it. lol

do you actually understand what I said? :P

Yes... i think

EDIT: you had to post the default data after i'd hacked it out of the game didn't you...
