Name: Name of the level, refrence only

Def: Related to Automap, must be a consecutive value

Populate: 1 yes/0 no

If set to no monsters will not be able to spawn on the ds1, used for special maze rooms such as stairs leading up/down

*superuniques still spawn

Set to 1 for outdoor ds1's, 0 for indoor ds1's

*Only works for preset maps

Setting to yes allows warps to be selected

Pops: Tells how many different type of boxes it will draw for a ds1. With boxes I'm talking about these known special tiles (for cottage those are #59 and #62).

PopPad: With this you can change the size of the box and either increase its size or decrease its size.

*Positive value: 2 (this will increase the box from where you have added the second special box).

*Negative value: -2 (this will decrease the box from where you have added the second special box)

Files: The amount of versions the map has, based on entries in File 1 to File 6 columns

File 1 to File 6: The location of the ds1 versions, leave at 0 for files that don't exist

Dt1mask: Number telling which tiles to use from lvltypes.txt

Beta: Refrence Only

Expansion: Refrence Only

Pops and PopPad info were taken directly from Kingpins find in this thread:

Roofs pop and popadd explained

I am sure that part needs to be rewritten in this fileguide, but that thread had me confused as hell

The Logicals discovery was found by Go][um in this thread:

Making walls go transparent?

I think that covers the major lvlprest functions, as the rest are never mentioned.  Hopefully someone knows the missing 3/any corrections and we can add this to the finished pile

Edit: Discovered the purpose of 'FillBlanks' column

Edit 2: After looking more and verifying what I thought, got the Populate column figured out

Edit 3: Added some info to Populate column, formatted a bit.. now on to figuring out KillEdge

Edit 4: typo
