Click on start. Go to search > for files or folders. Then click on all files and folders (if you are using XP). Type "editor_manual" and do a search. After you found the document, read it carefuly. Good luck! And we are expecting some new levels from you soon .

And we are expecting some new levels from you soon . If I just could understand the program.. I try, but I just didn't understand that.. Maybe, cos I dont understand english very well.. (I'm read it almoust 4 yers only..) But shoud I load some tilesets or something backgrounds or anything else? I couldnt find anything stuff, but fire and 2 moving things.. I get so nervise when I try to do a land, that I almoust delete the editor.. I hope that someone help me!! And I asked it before, but what are the sprites? I dont know... And need I some codes to do the land? ps. It would be very sad if I can't make maps, because I have many (good) ideas(of course not so good ideas like Iv4n, but I think that they are good..), and if I can't make them I'm very sad... (and I'm very sorry my bad english)

Sprites are important Game Elements like the rooster, enemies,candys and weapons. (All what interacts in the game)
Load them by pressing "F5" and then "Sprites" and then on the sprite names in the list. Then press "F4" and a list of the sprites you load right now appears. Click on the sprite you want to put in the map, and then just click in the map to add it.
BTW : Are you German ?

Okay, I go try now... Thanks very much.. I tell later if it works..
No I'm not german.. I'm from Finland.
--------------------------------------- It didn't work.
PEOPLE! Now you answer in to my question! Do I need to load some stuff like sprites or something? Cos when I do like Rooster sayd(I press that manual button, I need to do that?), there came only different "colours" of blue and black. And is the sprites are candys, and enemyes, shoudn't they be there?
Maybe this whole map-making is too complicate for me.
Yeh, second question: Do I need any codes when I make a map? Just tell me if you think that making map is too hard for me, cos I dont understand much of anyones helps..

Sorry non-Finnish-speakers, I'm writing this in Finnish: Hortensia: Kenttien teko kenttäeditorilla ei ole vaikeaa, mutta alkuun pääsemiseksi pitää tehdä muutamia juttuja. Arvelen, että Pekka Kana 2 -peli ja editori on asennettu koneellesi eri kansioihin, mistä syystä editori ei osaa ladata pelihahmoja (spritet) eikä kenttien rakennuspalikoita (tilet), koska se ei tiedä mistä kansiosta sen pitäisi niitä etsiä. Mutta ei hätää, saat kenttäeditorin toimimaan noudattamalla seuraavia ohjeita: Ensiksikin sinun pitäisi tietää mihin kansioihin Pekka Kana 2 -peli ja kenttäeditori on asennettu tietokoneellesi. Esimerkiksi peli voi olla asennettu kansioon C:\Ohjelmat\Pekka Kana 2 ja kenttäeditori kansioon C:\Ohjelmat\Level Editor. Jos et ole asentanut editoria samaan kansioon Pekka Kana pelin kanssa, sinun täytyy 'kertoa' editorille missä kansiossa peli on. Kenttäeditorissa näet ruudun vasemmasta alanurkasta mihin kansioon editori on asennettu. Eli tee seuraavasti: - Käynnistät kenttäeditori (sulje Info-ikkuna jos se häiritsee). - Paina F5 -näppäintä, joka avaa Files-ikkunan (tämän ikkunan kautta ladataan karttaan kaikenlaista tavaraa). - Ikkunassa näkyy kolme kansiota: [.], [..] ja [manual]. - Klikkaamalla kansiota jonka nimi on kaksi pistettä [..], pääset yhden kansion ylöspäin. Jos siis olit kansiossa Level Editor, klikkamalla [..]-kansiota pääset Ohjelmat-kansioon. - Valitse Pekka Kana 2 -kansio. Tämän jälkeen editorin pitäisi ladata automaattisesti yksi pelihahmo Sprites-ikkunaan (aukeaa F4:lla), ja uusi rakennuspalikkasetti (tileset) Tiles-ikkunaan (aukeaa F3:lla). Editori muistaa jatkossa missä kansiossa peli on, joten tämä operaatio tarvitsee tehdä vain kerran. Tämän jälkeen pitäisi myös F5:lla aukeavan Files-ikkunan nappien (Sprites, Tiles, Music) toimia. Kenttäeditorin mukana tulee englanninkielinen ohje, ja se löytyy siitä kansiosta, johon editori on asennettu. Ohjeen nimi on editor_manual.htm ja se aukeaa selaimeen kun tuplaklikkaat tiedostoa. Ohjeesta selviää sitten lisää. En jaksa kirjoittaa ohjetta suomeksi, kun siinä juttua aika paljon... Toivottavasti tästä oli apua.

Thanks Janne and Rooster and Iv4n. Now I can make a map. But I have still one problem. How I get that map icon in to the map? I mean that place where you can see that what levels you are alreaydy go.. If you understand? Everything else I'm done, but I can't play it cos the icon is not in the map.. I hope that you understand me and can help me.
For finnish people: Siis en saa sitä nappia mistä painetaan, että päästään pelaamaan kartalle. En keksi mistä sen saisi. Auttakaa!

Okay, now happened something very strange.. I think that if I search that Level Editor, I maybe found that icon-thing.. But when I opened my map, it wasn't exactly same as it was before. Like all brown big apples was now a flowers, some of apples was turn into keys, enemyes that I was put there, tehy wasn't in the same place. And one place where was tiles and stuffs, was now gone! Can anyone explaine why this happends? I'm sure that I save it. And still i need help for that icon-thing, what I tould in my before message. (That is that I can't put the icon on the map.. Read before message..)

Then you get a menu where you can choose the X and Y positon, the level number and name the creator name and the map icon. You can also add Rain or Leaves to your map here!

To the "Sprites are wrong bug" : Install a second installation of PK and just update to V1.1 then it works !

Okay, I think that I understand something... But like you sayd: "..to load music or new sprites and saved it in these folders instead of the folder your maps are.." Well, where I should then save them, if not in the folder where my map is?
And second question: "..Install a second installation of PK and just update to V1.1 then it works!" Where I should load that new version?

Where I should load that new version? You have now got V1.2 I guess. Just don´t use the V1.2 update..... If you click on "sprites" in the F5 Menue and then "S" your map will be saved to the sprites folder....

I would wreally happy of helping, and most of if someone helps me in finnish! Cos I dont understan english good, like you all must released..
