Easier levels

Create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "levels.xml" file in the "\zuma deluxe!\levels\" folder. Scroll down about halfway until you see the following line:


"lvl11" means level 1-1. If you want to slow down the speed of the balls for this level, change the speed value from "0.5" to "0.2". If you are stuck on a higher level (for example, level 12-7), go down a few more lines to where "lvl127" appears, then change its speed value to "0.2". Note: Do not confuse the "lvl11" line above with the "level11" line in the same file.

Level select

Create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "levels.xml" file in the "\zuma deluxe!\levels\" folder. Scroll down near the bottom until you see the following line:


stage1 = "spiral,claw,riverbed,targetglyph,blackswirley"

diffi1 = "lvl11,lvl12,lvl13,lvl14,lvl15",etc...

Change the level name to your choice. For example, to change Dark Vortex, Level 1-5, to Spiral of Doom, change "blackswirley" to "spiral". To find out what name corresponds to what level, look in "cached_thumbnails" in the same folder and switch to filmstrip view in Windows Explorer, in "Views" on the top, by "Folders". It will show a large picture at the top and thumbnails at the bottom.
