Gloom Deluxe World Selector
===========================


Description
-----------

This package allows you to choose which gloom world you wish to (re)play.
It is especially useful now that the gloom level editor has been released
(see gloom home page http://www.xgw.fi/~slice/gloom/gloom.html), and there
are some extra gloom levels.

An appropriate save game file for each world has also been included, so
you can select which level of each world you wish to play.


Requirements
------------

Gloom deluxe installed to hard disk.  It might or might not work on the
old version of gloom.  It also requires the program "RequestFile" (included
with kick 3).


Installation
------------

Unarchive the files to your gloom directory.


Usage
-----

Double click on the Selector icon.  Select the world you want to play
from the list.  There are two special "worlds" called "-DataDisk-" and
"-LastUsed-".  LastUsed will use whichever world you used last.  DataDisk
will cause gloom to prompt you to insert your gloomdata disk.


Save game notes
---------------

The file "gloomgame" saves up to 8 positions.  Each 4 bytes is an offset
into the script, which points to the text "name" of that save position.
If you edit the scripts, you should clear the gloomgame file with

  echo >gloomgame "gamegamegamegamegamegamegamegame" noline

otherwise you could cause gloom to crash.

Also note that there is only so much memory allocated for these position
names, so keep them short, or you could crash gloom.

Finally, if you are adding your own "rest_" commands to the scripts,
remember to add a "tile_" command after it, otherwise the roof and
floor tiles will not appear.
