After getting all the required files, it's time to get the level editor ready. But first:

Protecting the Extracted Files (Optional)

This part isn't required, but it's recommended as it will protect the files you've extracted earlier on from accidental edits or deletions.

To do this, download this script (Windows only) and place it in the same folder as the extracted files.

Right-click the script and choose Run as Admin (input the admin password if required). You will now be asked to input the folder name.

After typing the folder name, press Enter to apply the protection. When the script has finished its job, press any button to close the window.

Downloading and Running Reggie

You now have everything needed to run the level editor! Download it here. If you're on macOS or Linux, you will have to use a software such as WINE or run the source code version. Instructions for the latter are here.

Once you're done downloading Reggie, extract it (this is absolutely important), and run reggie.exe.

You will be presented with this:

You will have to point Reggie to the Stage Folder you extracted before. Make sure you point to "Stage", and not the entire dump folder, or the program will give an error. Press Select Folder to confirm.

If the Stage folder is correct, you will see the retail game's World 1-1 load in the editor!

Now, feel free to poke around with Reggie. Don't forget to have a look at the interface guide to get some more information on how the program works. If you're looking to play any of your content, look here instead.
