The Level properties that you may use » Audio » CDTrack, you may put the number of a CD track to be played while you play the level, but i STRONGLY advice you to know that this option is only to be used, if you gonna make that level for your own pleasure, don't release it for someone else or you will obviously have to make a copy of that audioCD for them aswell.

LevelInfo » » Author » well let's hope you are the map author, put your name or whatever you want to comunicate here, like your homepage or E-Mail adress or messenger, just imagine. » bCheckWalkSurfaces Use this to force the game engine to make a check of the used brushes solidity when map is started up. In fact this option is False by default and then a quick check will be made anyway, so only use it on maps with weird and complex shapes. » bHumansOnly This is an option used if you want only humans playing the level Shocked , nice if you dun wanna be bothered with bots while testing also. » bLonePlayer Made for the early Unreal levels » bNeverPrecahce Leave its default, else the map will not be cahced and all bad suprises come out on loading and playtime. Brightness » You may want you level to have more light, dun get confused here this is not the brightness you can adjust in game with the F11 key.

Then in this section just press the small USE icon to use the selected picture from the MyLevel texture pack Texture'MyLevel.Screenshot' You may also load more pictures in the MyLevel texturepack and make an animation of it. Beware, it is told that you may load only pictures of 256 * 256. This i NOT true. you can have pictures of 512 aswell, but for the reasons i will explain it is useless. When you load a picture of 512, it will be reduced to 256 in the games preview window, so , in order to be able to do that, the game engine will look for mipmaps to reduce it correctly. if you did check mipmaps for this picture larger than 256 then it will load perfectly, else, even at mapselection, the game will crash and show up a dialogbox telling you that not enough mipmaps were found. And for another point, having 512 sized pictures reduced to 256 again, only have very small image sharpness quality.
