You can only load in mazes if you have a registered version. In the maze builder you define a maze by adding walls, dots, power dots, and ghost houses. After you make a few maze levels, you should then make a Level Project file. The Level Project file contains the file names of the maze levels which will be loaded when you load the Project file, this is so you can play multiple tiered mazes. All of your maze files must be in the Chomper3D/mazes directory, all of these files end with the extension .maz All Level Project files must be in the Chomper3D/levels directory, all of these files end with the extension .lvl Please note that if you try to modify the default mazes, you will have to re-install the program. 9) D I S C L A I M E R =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- You must read and agree to the EULA.txt (END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT) before playing Chomper3D.
