openjazz (engine for Jazz Jackrabbit games)
|
|
|
|
OpenJazz is a free, open-source version of the classic Jazz Jackrabbit
|
|
games. OpenJazz can be compiled on a wide range of operating systems,
|
|
including Windows 98/Me/XP and Linux. OpenJazz requires the files
|
|
from any of the following games:
|
|
|
|
- Jazz Jackrabbit Shareware Edition (included in this build)
|
|
- Jazz Jackrabbit
|
|
- Jazz Jackrabbit CD
|
|
- Jazz Jackrabbit Christmas Edition
|
|
- Jazz Jackrabbit: Holiday Hare 1995
|
|
|
|
OpenJazz will not work with any of the Jazz Jackrabbit 2 games.
|
|
|
|
There is no support for saving/loading the game. Multiplayer
|
|
is supported, but not well tested. For more information, see
|
|
http://www.alister.eu/jazz/oj/faq.php
|
|
|
|
This build includes the data files from the shareware edition,
|
|
installed in /usr/share/openjazz/shareware, and a wrapper script
|
|
openjazz-shareware that runs them (along with a .desktop file that
|
|
does the same). To run one of the other supported games, you'll
|
|
need an installed/extracted copy of the game in its own directory,
|
|
and you'll have to pass the directory path to openjazz as an
|
|
argument. Example:
|
|
|
|
$ openjazz /dosC/games/jazz
|
|
|
|
Note that all the actual data files need to have UPPERCASE names,
|
|
e.g. "BLOCKS.000". If yours are lowercase, you can use something
|
|
like this:
|
|
|
|
$ for i in *; do mv $i $( echo $i | tr a-z A-Z ); done
