The landscape pictures (here from the jungle) you need, are all inside the map "Template"

In the map Template, you can copy the landscape elements you need.
Click with the left mouse button and "frame" the element you want. Copy the element with Ctrl - C and change back into your own map.

The landscape element is "hanging"on the mousepointer, and you can move it
to the place you want. With Ctrl - V ,
you insert the element. ( Don't click
the mouse button until the copy has
been completed!)

-Template Jungle

Delete a landscape element inside your own map layout, with framing the green background,
and move the green background "over" the landscape element. With Ctrl - V you insert the
green background and with Ctrl - S, you save the changing.

THE TYPES ::

With the types, you determine the landscape properties. The types properties make it possible for Rayman, to walk, slip, climb, jump, plant, draw and fall.

Elementary types, appearing in all worlds

Normal Type				Rayman and his enemys can walk on normal types.
Pass-through Type				Same as a normal type, but is Rayman below a platform with this type, he can jump up and "pass-through" it to land on the upper platform.
Sloping Types				You need sloping types, if Rayman has to go uphill or downhill.
Slippery Type				It is slippery, if Rayman walks on notelines, cream, black erasers and snow in the mountains.
Sloping and slipperyTypes				Used by notelines, cream, black erasers and snow in the mountains.

Special types ( Not in all worlds ) ::

Jump - Type Only Image world		Used by blue erasers in the image world. If Rayman touches a blue eraser, he starts automatically with jumping.
Climp - Type Only jungle world		Rayman uses climbing plants for his way up or down in the jungle world. Only for perpendicular climbing.
Plant - Type Only jungle world		In the jungle world, Rayman can make a seed grow up to a waterlily. He uses the lily for jumping to higher platforms.

Deadly types ::

Dangerous Type		If Rayman comes in contact with a dangerous type, he loses a life point. Type is used on notes, drawing pins, some spikes in the mountain and cave worlds
Deadly Type		Rayman dies at once, if he touches a deadly type. Characteristic of all prickly plants.
Water Type		Rayman dies, if he drops into the water. an animation sequenz starts, where you can see how Rayman is drowning.
Fall Type		If Rayman jumps from one platform to an other platform, and his jump was too short, he dies in the fall types.
Reacting Type		The reactive types stop moving elements, like clouds and antitoons. These events should move only between reactive types.

With the icon "Types" from the buttonbar, or if you press the key "T" you switch between landscape - view or type view.
