Level files use tiles from object groups to create the worlds you can play in. They also store information about the mission objectives, what types of mobs can spawn, what props are used, and more.
Levels are stored as JSON files in the Dungeons/Content/data/lovika/levels directory.
- Type:
boolean
By default, if the player walks off the edge of the level, they will respawn at their last checkpoint. Setting this property to false will create a "soft" barrier around the level that players can't walk through. It is still possible to roll through this barrier, however. It works just like the 2 and 4 values of the region-plane in tiles.
If this property is set to false and the level has "fill", rolling through the barrier will allow you to walk around on the fill freely.
- Type:
objectorstring
This property controls the level "fill", which is a layer of blocks automatically placed by the game around the outside of tiles. The fill is made up of up to 17 bands of "gradient" blocks.
It can have a world property, which can have a gradient property, which is an array numbers. The first number controls the average width of the first band of blocks. The second number controls the width of the second band, and so on. Because there are only 16 different gradient blocks in the game, all bands beyond 16 will use the first gradient block, creating a 17th band with an average width equal to the sum of all numbers in the array after the 16th.
The y tile property has some sort of effect on the level fill, but it is not fully understood yet.
The fill property may also instead be set to a string, like "only-doors". This value has not been tested yet, but may be the default value, where the fill only covers doors that aren't connected to anything. In that case, the fill uses the blocks adjacent to the door horizontally to fill the door's space. No other string values has been found for the fill property yet.
- Type:
string
The ID of the level. This is used to set the environment of the level. For example, setting it to creeperwoods will make it night-time.
It also controls what into sequence is played at the start of the level.
It might control more than just these two things, more testing is required.
- Type:
arrayofstring
A list of object groups that the level uses tiles from. Each object group is represented by the object group's file path relative to the Dungeons/Content/data/lovika/objectgroups directory, without the file extension.
- Type:
arrayofobject
A list of mission objectives that the players need to complete in order to finish the level.
For more information about objectives, see the page about them here.
- Type:
boolean
By default, levels that have an intro sequence will play it after loading into the level. This property can be set to false to disable the intro.
- Type:
arrayofstring
A list of resource packs to use for this level. Each resource pack is represented by its directory name in the Dungeons/Content/data/resourcepacks directory.
Some testing is still required to find out how multiple resource packs work together, but it is most likely similar to how they work in Minecraft Bedrock Edition.
- Type:
arrayofobject
A list of "stretches", which are distinct parts of the level that are made up of tiles and potential side-paths.
For more information about stretches, see the page about them here.
