Sure, the launcher is "just" DOSBox coded in javascript, same as what the internet archive uses... I could be uploading anything I wanted, Keen mods or whatever, and it'd theoretically work just the same. What's specifically going on is that it reads all the files from a single zip, and I have one zip each for SWAG, LA, and MS:FF, each of which contains all the files needed to play JJ1. So unless there's some good way to override the file loading code (unlikely, because this is not your grandmother's javascript, and "you can’t store different content (from different archives) into one path" isn't promising) to convince it to read certain files from one place but everything else from another, like a good mod loader, there'd need to be another single zip for Bad Seed containing everything JJ1 needs to run normally plus those specific level/tileset/etc. files. Or maybe like somebody could compile multiple singleton custom JJ1 levels into a single zip, that would be more efficient.

ETA: I got a response. Will have to try this out soon.
