A set of tools to make scripting in VVVVVV custom levels just that bit easier

Extracts the scripts from a level name specified by the user (without the .vvvvvv extension), replaces all | characters with \n (newlines), and writes it to a file. This way, the scripts may be looked at and edited with an external text editor

Imports scripts from a file into a specified level name. It replaces all \n (newline) characters with | chars, keeping with the original level's format. It makes a backup of the level being modified to:

<path-to-VVVVVV-folder>/vvvvvv_level_backups/<levelname><dateandtime>.vvvvvv

before any data is written.

You must have Python 2.7.x installed from http://python.org/. Older versions may or may not work, but Python 3.x will NOT work without putting the script files through 2to3. Once you have that installed, simply double-click on either extract.py or import.py to start the process.

On Mac OS X or Linux, simply open the Terminal, navigate to the folder containing the scripts, and execute

$ python <scriptname>.py

e.g. if you've downloaded the archive to ~/Downloads, and you wish to run the extract.py script, you execute the following series of commands:

$ cd Downloads/vvvvvv-scripting-toolkit-head

$ python extract.py

The same rules apply to the scripts that you import using this tool as with the internal script editor, except with a few exceptions:
