The '''RRU Level Editor''' is a custom-made [[Modding Tools|tool]] created by [[User:Cyrem|Cyrem]] for [[LEGO Rock Raiders Modding|modifying]] Rock Raiders levels in addition to creating new, custom levels. RRU Level Editor has since been retired in favor of the newer [[Map Creator]].
RRU Level Editor allows the user to customize many different elements of the map, including surface, erosion, and landslide maps. Use of Map Creator is recommended over manually editing level files. Its final version is 0.5.3 Alpha.
== Interface ==
Upon opening RRU Level Editor, the user is given the option to create a new blank map by clicking the '''New''' button, and import a [[LEGO Rock Raiders (PC video game)|PC]] map by clicking '''Import'''. The '''Save''' button saves the current map in RRU Level Editor's native <code>.rme</code> file format, while the '''Open''' button opens an <code>.rme</code> file. Finally, the '''Export''' button exports saves a complete map, ready for testing and sharing.
== Features ==
RRU Level Editor offers six edit modes,  each of which pertains to a different aspect of the map. Similar to the in-game [[Radar]], RRU Level Editor assigns each different kind of square a respective color-coded square, making the map appear similar to its in-game appearance. Finally, each square's X, Y coordinates are displayed in the top right hand corner upon mouse over.
=== Surface ===
This mode allows the addition of [[Wall Types]], [[Ground Types]], and [[Materials]], which are designated in the [[Terrain map|Surf.map]], [[Predug map|Dugg.map]], and [[Cryore map|Cror.map]] files, respectively.
=== Height Map ===
This mode allows raising and lowering of the level's Height Map, which is designated in the [[Surface map|High.map]] file.
=== Objects ===
This allows the user to add, move, or remove various [[Objects]] from the map, as designated in the [[OL file]].
=== World ===
This allows the user to add Paths for [[Eroding Lava]] to the level, as designated in the [[Erod.map]] file.
=== Monsters ===
This allows the user to designate a wall as a location for a [[Monster]] to emerge, as designated in the [[Emrg.map]] file.  This mode is not yet complete.
=== Script ===
This edits the [[Programming Mission Objectives|Mission Objectives]] for the level, as designated in the [[NPL file]].  This mode is not yet complete.
