Making custom maps for Apotheon Arena
I've been making a few new maps for this game using the in-built editor, its pretty fun! It would be great to see more people using it to make maps for multiplayer. Only problem is there isn't any documentation on how to use the editor online, so here's what I know. I will be updating as we learn more.

The editor can be opened by opening the console from the main menu ( ' or ¬ or ~ just try all the regular console opening buttons) and typing "edit [level name]", type "list" to show all the available levels.

Controls:
Middle mouse click to move around (alt W)
Q - Add waypoint (for bots)
R - Rotate object
T - Rotate selection around centre
I - Add sound effect
O - Add spawnpoint
P - Add effect
A - Resize block
S - Resize block snapping to texture
G - Show grid
K - Spawn character
L - Add light
Z - Paste prefab (select from right-hand menu)
C - Clone selection
V - Show vertices
B - Add block
N - Flip object vertically
M - Sets object to "modified" (No clue what this does)

Once you have made a map you will either need to load it through the console ("play [MAP]" for singleplayer or "mplevel [MAP]" then host for multiplayer) or modify your Multiplayer.xml in your game files to select it from the menu. Players who do not have the map downloaded will crash.

If you're interested in seeing/playing any of the maps I've made then they can be found along with installation instructions here.

Good luck if you do decide to make maps! Have fun! If you have any questions ask away and I can do my best to answer.

If anyone knows anything more about these please tell me.
Two big unsolved mysteries about the editor:
- How do you make large amounts of objects rotate around a single axis? (like in the main game Athena level)
- How can you "cut" blocks into different polygons? (this can be seen in a lot of base game maps)
