Surgery
With the basics of the level editor, there are some hidden ways to edit a level as well. An .rdlevel file can be opened in a text editor to make changes to the level that couldn't be made otherwise currently.
Characters
One of the categories in the rdlevel file is called rows and will have a similar format to this:
You can edit the character name into any of the following characters (characters not available by default may have unfinished animations)
- Samurai
- Boy
- Girl
- Bodybuilder
- SamuraiBoss
- Paige
- Politician
- Miner
- Farmer
- MrStevenson
- MrsStevenson
- SamuraiGirl
- SmokinBarista
- HoodieBoy
- Barista
- Adog
- MrStevendog
- MrsStevendog
- Purritician
- Tentacle
- BoyTangzhuang
- GirlCNY
- BoyRaya
- HoodieBoyAlternate
- FarmerAlternate
- HoodieBoyBlue
- Lucialev
Settings and Mods
At the top of the rdlevel file you can add mods to your level to make it behave slightly differently.
The list of mods that can be used are:
| Mod | Effect |
|---|---|
| noSmartJudgement | Changes hit timing rules - makes it so if you miss a note late enough that it's a hit for the next note, it's still a miss for the first. |
| adaptRowsToRoomHeight | Automatically move rows closer or further apart when the room size changes. |
| noDoublePulse | No special double/triple pulse animations. |
| showHitStripOnlyOnActiveBeats | Hitstrip only appears in rooms where there are active beats. |
| smoothShake | Replaces screen shakes with a smooth version. |
| rotateShake | Replaces screen shakes with a rotation shake. |
| wobblyLines | Oneshots turn wobbly, and wobble when hit. |
| bombBeats | Freetimes that start on a hit will be bombs and miss on hit. |
| disableRowChangeWarningFlashes | Disables row change warning flashes when changing a row from CPU or another player. |
| noOneshotShadows | Removes the aftereffect on short oneshots. |
Another setting changeable through surgery is firstBeatBehavior, which by default is RunNormally. You can change this to RunEventsOnPrebar to make any action events on bar 1 beat 1 happen before the level starts.
