Surgery can break your level in ways that are not recoverable!
Please, if you are doing this, make sure to create a copy of your level before continuing
Surgery is the act of changing your level from writing directly into the file, rather than using the editor interface.
As you know, whenever you save a level inside the Game Editor, a file that contains all the settings, actions, and decorations is updated. But in this case, we can do those changes over the file itself.
-> A Text Editor software to read and edit the text file
Here are a few you can use for free:
---> Windows Notepad (You most likely already have this) ---> Notepad++ (Better Notepad) ---> Any IDE software (Integrated development environment)
First, find the location of your file. You can easily open your most recent file with the Open the directory location window of most recent level Shortcut
After that, Mouse right-click on top of your level and click on Open with and select your Text Editor of choice. For this example, we will be using Notepad++
From here, it's a matter of adding and replacing values within each setting. Do have in mind, although you can put anything inside each setting, the game might not allow you to use them when you save and open the level file again
