95 There are two programs to help you make your own levels: jnbpack and
96 jnbunpack.
97 jnbpack -o /tmp/newlevel.dat <file1> <file2> <file3> etc
99 or you can just put all the files in a dir, cd to that dir and do
101 jnbpack -o /tmp/newlevel.dat *
103 and it will put all the files in the current dir inside the packfile.
105 Don't try things like jnbpack -o stuff.dat ../file.c because it will
106 add "../file.c" as the filename in the packfile, which won't work.
107 jnbunpack level.dat
109 will unpack it in the current directory.
110 With gobpack you can convert .gob files (which are sprites, described
112 in gob.txt) into .pcx files which you can edit with gimp for example,
113 then convert back to a .gob and use it in your own level.
114 gobpack -u font menu.pcx
116 will unpack font.gob using the color palette from menu.pcx and write
118 the files font.pcx font.txt. The other gob files should use level.pcx
119 for the correct palette.
120 gobpack font
122 will generate font.gob from font.pcx and the specifications in
124 font.txt. The .pcx files should be resaved with another program, as
125 they are not packed and are thus very large.
