Making levels

I recommend you to unpack jumpbump.dat, so, the files you not +edit, are the default.

How to edit: Draw a nice image for make a level with PSP, +and if you want to see the map, do this:

Click on File/Preferences/General Program Preferences. Then +click on "Rulers and Units" and type, in Grid section, Width=16 and +Height=16. Then Apply. And last, click on View/Grid.

The map is 16 rows and 22 columns, and another 3 columns at the +right for scoreboard. The image size is 400x256 pixels and uses 256 +colours. Download the original background +here and use it for your own. Remember this: all the image +files on the level (PCXs and GOBs) must have the same colour +palette.

These are the colour numbers of the default palette +that are changed when using BLOODISTHICKERTHANWATER cheat:

How to edit: This is a black image file with +white parts. The black zone is behind the rabbits and the white +zone hides the rabbits. Be careful, don't make white the three +columns at the right for can see the scoreboard. Here is an +example:

How to edit: The easiest you can do here is +this: Type on the top your Nick and your e-mail and the title of +the level. But you can draw too a nice level entrance, but remember +to draw an obstacle for jump it and select players. Something cool: +Everywhere you use the colour No255, will be blinking like the +credits letters. Remember this: all the image files on the level +(PCXs and GOBs) must have the same colour palette. Look here at +each of the rabbit's way for make the menu screen:

Get this image file in .PCX format here, put it in your level and it will guide you for +where you must put thee obstacle and the floor where is supposed to +run on the rabbits.

How to edit: This is a black image file with +white parts. The black zone is behind the rabbits and the white +zone hides the rabbits. Be careful, don't make white the bottom for +can see the credits. Here is an example:

How to edit: When you pack the .dat file, +just play it, before playing, you calibrate your +joystick/joypad.

How to edit: Just take a look in the PSP Grid of +"level.pcx" and type:0 for air, 1 for ground, 2 for water, 3 for +ice and 4 for a spring (just like "Number Code Land" level). +Remember, is a 22x16 grid. Some useful information:

How to edit: With PSP edit "font.pcx" (found +at GOBMaker Projects in BCD) drawing all letters, numbers and marks +and save the image. Remember this: all the image files on the level +(PCXs and GOBs) must have the same colour palette. Run GOBMaker, +then open "font.gmp" (GOBMaker Project) and change the letters. +These are the frames of "font.gob":
