Ghost Mouse tutorial
I am not returning these forums. I just found out something so awesome I simply had to share it with you.
First off: THIS IS NOT AUTODOTTER!!!!!!!!111 Autodotters are slow, laggy, and stupid.
It is a program that records and plays back mouse actions, which means, you can draw something, and then make the program draw the exactly same thing again for you. It's great for drawing repetive scenery for your levels. Here's how it works:
1: Download Ghost Mouse here. Note that THIS IS NOT ILLEGAL just because it's on Piratebay. It's a free program and you can download it somewhere else if you are too scared of pirate ships. Then install (obviously).
2: Go to Platform racing 2 level editor. Click the layer you want to draw your thing in. Click the drawing thing tool. Don't change anything yet.
3: Now start your perfectly free and legal Ghost Mouse software. Make sure everything is default. (Brush size, colour etc)
4: Click record and draw your drawing. Don't use the undo button or the arrows (the arrows in your keyboard). After you have finished click 'stop'.
5: Now you have all the steps of your drawing recorded. You can save them for more use later. Now move in your level where you want your stuff to be drawn. Before clicking 'play' to make the computer draw your stuff again, make sure all the settings are the same as they were before you started recording. You might also want to increase the drawing speed from the options of Ghost Mouse, but that decreases the quality a little.
6: ENJOY!
You can also share your drawing with your friends but I'm not sure will that work out so well because of screen resolutions, web browsers, etc.
If there are complications while drawing hold CTRL+ALT and click 'stop'.
