Hey guys! I made an Interior Tester for MB! It's easy, really. Just make a text document and name it Interior Test.bat. Then, open with notepad/notepad++ and paste in the following code:
Code:
@echo off color 0b echo Browse the Interiors folder for dif files (Have to add a .dif at the end) set /p i=marble/data/interiors/ <yourgame>.exe -test marble/data/interiors/%i% exit
NOTE: Replace <yourgame> with the name of the MB executable.

Eww, a batch file. Windows is so ugly. Unix forever!

Also, have you tested to see if this works? From what I see, you stored the path in a variable, and appended that path to the path that you stored! No need to store a path for something this simple. Unless it's some bizarre prompt? Bleh.

Bash/Zsh is so much better. Look, I made a little script!
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash read -p "Enter an interior's name: " ## Prompt for the name of the interior intFile="${REPLY%.dif}.dif" ## Ensure file ends in '.dif' ## Does interior test, assuming MBG in system's Applications folder. '/Applications/MarbleBlast Gold.app/Contents/MacOS/MarbleBlast Gold' -test "marble/data/interiors/$intFile"

Tada! Sorry if this makes you feel bad. I just have system pride. :)

I'm not storing the path in a variable. I'm going into the interiors folder. marble/data/interiors/%I%, i being blah.dif or folder/blah.dif, so it's marble/data/interiors/blah.dif, marble/data/interiors/folder/blah.dif

Or just open the console in MBP (MBP1.50+ only) and type
Code:
doInteriorTest("Difname");
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This signature is real code
Code:
function clientcmd12dothepq() { commandToClient(LocalClientConnection, '34onthedancefloor'); }

Or, just press the create subs button in the level editor and it does the same thing...

Create Subs doesn't create an entire level, though. Plus, moving platforms.

Create subs -> save -> reload should be exactly the same as interior testing.

Code:
function clientcmd12dothepq() { commandToClient(LocalClientConnection, '34onthedancefloor'); }

Yeah, but who wants to reload? Also, you have to delete the stuff in whatever .mis file you started with.

Depends on how you do things. For me this method is easier, also why deleting things, you can ''creatsubs'' in any map as long as you make shure interior is @ 0 0 0.
Also every interiortest forces you to close and reload MB which is pretty much same as if not slower than reloading the map.
Depends on how you prefer doing thing's really.

AWESOME time HINT : When making PQ level place your custom interiors and textures in platinum/data/interiors_pq/custom
makes life easier for you and everyone else :)
