level creation instructions

(this proccess is easier on linux)

1. run make tools to build level creations scripts

2. New tiles are made by directly editing data/tiles/neschael.chr in yychr.net (my prefered way) or in NEXXT studio

3. New metatiles can be assembled in NEXXT studio by opening the session data/tiles/raw/meta.nss and saved by with: File > Export > Tileset as image > Full tileset, and overwriting data/tiles/raw/metas.bmp AND File > Canvas > Save as ASM, overwrite data/tiles/raw/metas.asm ​ To asign collision to metatiles open tools/tiled/neschael.tiled-project as a project in tiled in metas.tsx, edit the cutom tile properties to the corospoding collision values in lib/player/collision/collision.inc inside the CollisionType ENUM ​ Finally run the /tools/generateMetatiles script from the tools folder

4. levels can be assembled in same tiled project using the metas tilesets for the tiles layer, the atributes tileset for the attrubute layer, and numbers tileset for the spawn layer ​ levels are exported to tools/tiled/exports and should be named export.csv then run /tools/formatCanvas script from the tools folder

5. the output can be found in tools/level.s, change LEVELNAME to the name of your choice. This can be used to overwrite an existing level or be added into data/levels/levelIndex.s the first level in the index is loaded at launch
