Hello all, some questions:

1. I've scoured the forums and Threefolder's lovely PQ level editor post about this, but I keep running into the same issue: I can't find where in my computer to drop the preview pictures for the levels I'm creating. I'm used to it being so straightforward on Windows but it's a whole different animal on Mac - when I open the package contents, all I get is Content --> Java, MacOS, PlugIns, and Resources, all of which take me no basically where. Can someone tell me where to find the mission, interiors, etc folders?

2. For some strange reason Platinum and Ultimate times don't save when I change them in Mission Info. Perhaps just a bug?

3. Sometimes when I create a gem hunt level, the radar ironically turns off no matter what I do. Could also be a bug, but it doesn't happen on all my gem hunt levels.

Thanks for any help and for dealing with my whiny barrage of questions!

PS also thanks Technostar for the clarification comment on Threefolder's post, that helped tremendously! Now if I could only find where to put the picture...

1. If you open the launcher, there should be a "Open Game Files" button under the advanced tab. That will get you to where the game data is stored.

2. Might be a bug, haven't experienced it myself though. I can look into it though; can you be more specific about what you're doing?

3. Check that you have the radar rule for gems enabled.

1. Got it thanks!

2. No matter what I save those as, they reset to 0 every time I press Accept. Doesn't do that for gem scores, only times.

3. Do now. Problem fixed.
