You want to design your own webs? The built in editor of Typhoon 2001 makes it possible!

Simply press E on the level selector screen and the currently selected web will be loaded into the editor. You can then select a node with the square bracket keys and modify its angle or coordinates (depends on the web mode) with the cursor/arrow keys. Several shortcuts and modifier keys exist, so make sure you have read the "Controlling the Editor" section below!

And also do not forget to SAVE the web (F8 key) after you are done with it - this is NOT done automatically when you leave the editor!

The webs are saved below the "game" directory. There you will find another directory named "default": this is (as the name implies) the default set of webs - 100 web files, a special control file named "game.cfg" (see below) and the high score files. You can have several web sets, the one you want to use is specified in the "GAMEPLAY SETTINGS..." menu. For more details see the manual.

The editor can also be started by passing a filename as argument to typhoon.exe, like for example "typhoon 00.web". The path to the currently selected web set will be prepended to this, so "00.web" becomes "./game/default/00.web" if you are using the default web set. If the file exists it is opened, if not a new empty web is created and the name will be used when the web is saved.

Everything is controlled by the keyboard, the mouse is not used in the editor.

The game and editor now support webs that are defined using coordinated instead of angles. Use the ALT + F11 and ALT + F12 keys to switch to angle or coordinate mode respectively.

WARNING: When you do the switch, your current design will be deleted! (but it will not be saved automatically so you can restore the last saved state with the quickload key).

game.cfg should exist in every game directory and controls the web colors and the music to play for certain level "ranges". Here is a short example:

    [mods]
    m0 = tempest1.mod
    l0 = 25
    r0 = .2
    g0 = .2
    b0 = 1

The Digit after the letter denotes the "zone" for this set of values. In this case everything is used for zone zero which is the first one.

m* specifies the MOD file to play during gameplay. l* is the "upper border" for this zone - the zone ranges from the last zones last level plus one to this level. In this case it ranges from 1 to 25. The r*, g* and b* values specify the red, green and blue values for the web color in this zone. Every value ranges from 0 (minimum) to 1 (maximum).

A full example of a game.cfg follows:

    [mods]
    m0 = tempest1.mod
    l0 = 25
    r0 = .2
    g0 = .2
    b0 = 1
    m1 = tempest2.mod
    l1 = 50
    r1 = .75
    g1 = .1
    b1 = .1
    m2 = tempest3.mod
    l2 = 75
    r2 = .8
    g2 = .4
    b2 = .1
    m3 = tempest4.mod
    l3 = 100
    r3 = .1
    g3 = .8
    b3 = 1
