Creating the perfect JJ1
What I'm trying to do, is create the "perfect" version of JJ1. In other words, a complete version. As you all know, there are two versions of Holiday Hare for JJ1: Holiday Hare '94 and Holiday Hare 95. Holiday Hare 95 is absent in Jazz Jackrabbit CD, the supposedly complete version of JJ1.
Because of the way Epic made the two holiday hare episodes, their files will overwrite eachother if placed in the same folder. I was wondering what alterations would need to be made in order to add Holiday Hare 95 to Jazz CD.
Off the top of my head, I can see that the levels need different filenames, and the episode will need to be altered to use the files with thier new names. The tilesets will also need to be renamed, and the levels changed to use the new tileset names. Same story for the music. I'm not sure how the Jazz1 menu system or episode files work, but I'm assuming that Jazz.exe will need to be altered to allow for the additional episode on the menu.
If anyone has done this before, or knows about how Jazz1 works, I'd appreciate some help.
