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 |
