Welcome to the Frozenbyte Editor Tutorial!
 +
 
 +
These tutorials are mainly written for the Shadwen Editor, but they can also be used with the previous versions of the Frozenbyte Editor. However, please note that the older versions ([[Trine_3:_The_Artifacts_of_Power#Editor|Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power]], [[Trine_Enchanted_Edition#Editor|Trine Enchanted Edition]] and [[Trine_2#Editor|Trine 2]] Editors) may have some differences compared to the Shadwen Editor, for example some features may be missing, etc.
 +
 
 +
Shadwen also comes with playable tutorial levels covering the basics of using the Editor. This wiki works best when combined with the playable tutorial levels, but both can also be used independently. If it's a possibility to you, it's highly recommended that you play the tutorial levels, as that way you actually get to try the Editor out in practice, instead of just learning about it in theory. The playable tutorial levels also include assignments that test how well you've learned.
 +
 
 +
The tutorial levels can be played inside the Shadwen Editor. They can be found from '''''data\mission\editor_tutorial\'''

Prefabs come in different sizes from small, like single walls, or large like entire town squares. Prefabs also make editing levels faster: a change in prefab will affect all the levels that use that prefab.

Welcome to the Frozenbyte Editor Tutorial!

These tutorials are mainly written for the Shadwen Editor, but they can also be used with the previous versions of the Frozenbyte Editor. However, please note that the older versions (Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power, Trine Enchanted Edition and Trine 2 Editors) may have some differences compared to the Shadwen Editor, for example some features may be missing, etc.

Shadwen also comes with playable tutorial levels covering the basics of using the Editor. This wiki works best when combined with the playable tutorial levels, but both can also be used independently. If it's a possibility to you, it's highly recommended that you play the tutorial levels, as that way you actually get to try the Editor out in practice, instead of just learning about it in theory. The playable tutorial levels also include assignments that test how well you've learned.

The tutorial levels can be played inside the Shadwen Editor. They can be found from data\mission\editor_tutorial\
