jumpnbump - Cute multiplayer platform game with bunnies
Contents
Description
You, as a bunny, have to jump on your opponents to make them explode. It's a true multiplayer game, you
can't play this alone. It has network support.
Levels
There are two programs to help you make your own levels: jnbpack and jnbunpack.
jnbpack -o /tmp/newlevel.dat <file1> <file2> <file3> etc
or you can just put all the files in a dir, cd to that dir and do
jnbpack -o /tmp/newlevel.dat *
and it will put all the files in the current dir inside the packfile. Don't try things like jnbpack -o
stuff.dat ../file.c because it will add "../file.c" as the filename in the packfile, which won't work.
jnbunpack level.dat
will unpack it in the current directory.
With gobpack you can convert .gob files (which are sprites, described in gob.txt) into .pcx files which
you can edit with gimp for example, then convert back to a .gob and use it in your own level.
gobpack -u font menu.pcx
will unpack font.gob using the color palette from menu.pcx and write the files font.pcx font.txt. The
other gob files should use level.pcx for the correct palette.
gobpack font
will generate font.gob from font.pcx and the specifications in font.txt. The .pcx files should be
resaved with another program, as they are not packed and are thus very large.
