Metatiles

Metatiles and the Editor

In Return to Wonderland, the level editor includes all normal tiles that are shown in the game. You can create odd Metatiles by Hex Editing. Metatiles are tiles that do not behave like normal tiles and cannot be found in the editor. There are over 50 Metatiles in RTW. It is not known if Metatiles exist in Wonderland Adventures.

Inserting Metatiles Into Levels

If a level that you're making will contain Metatiles, they should be added last because if the editor attempts to read the Hex ID of the Metatiles, the editor won't recognize the alien tile and will come up with a Memory Access Violation. It is recommended to place tiles you'd recognize to replace with Metatiles.

To change a tile to a Metatile, open up XVI32 and look at the data. The tiles are read in two bytes, followed by some 0's. Eg: 64 00 00 00 2C 01 00 00 64 00 00 00.... 2C 01 represents a water tile. If you want to change this to invisible water, change 2C 01 to 2D 01. Be careful, because you might change something wrong, causing the level to be designed the way you didn't want it. To see the tile IDs, look at the Metatile list found by the bottom of the page.

Explanation

Most Metatiles were never intended to be added to the game. Some Metatiles are for internal things and act strange when placed in a level. Metatiles are simply messed up versions of the existing tiles. For example:

Spikes Speed 1

Spikes Speed 2

Spikes Speed 3

Spikes Speed 4

Spikes Speed 5

...

Spikes Speed 91

Spikes Speed 92

Spikes Speed 93

Spikes Speed 94

Spikes Speed 95

There are only 4 normal spike speeds in Return to Wonderland. However, the spikes are formatted to go all the way up to speed 95. Break tiles are also programmed like this and can withstand up to 94 steps. There are copies of most Metatiles. Tiles that haven't been programmed are just walkable empty space tiles. Since tiles are read in two bytes, there are 65,536 tiles.

The most unusual and interesting tile is 38 08.

Since there are only 4 Stinkers in the gang and there are only 2 types of Shadow Stinkers, there are only 8 Shadow Stinkers. There is no 3rd type of Shadow Stinker or 5th member of the gang, so the game can't find any new Shadow Stinker type, so its only choice is to MAV.
