OPENJAZZ(6)

NAME
openjazz - free/open-source game engine for Jazz Jackrabbit

SYNOPSIS
openjazz [-f] [dir] ...

DESCRIPTION
OpenJazz is a free, open-source version of the classic Jazz Jackrabbit(tm) games. 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
Jazz Jackrabbit CD
Jazz Jackrabbit Shareware Edition
Jazz Jackrabbit Christmas Edition
Jazz Jackrabbit: Holiday Hare 1995

OpenJazz will not work with any of the Jazz Jackrabbit 2 games. Don't get confused: there's a "Holiday Hare 1998", which isn't supported (only the 1995 version is).

There is no support for saving/loading the game. Multiplayer is supported, but not well tested.

OPTIONS
-f starts the game fullscreen. Any other option beginning with - will be ignored. Anything else is treated as a directory to be added to the file search path.

FILES
Game data files must be named in uppercase (e.g. BLOCKS.000).

The search path for game data files includes, in order:

the current directory
$HOME/.openjazz/
all paths listed on the command line in reverse order

In addition, the file openjazz.000 (containing the OpenJazz logo, note the lowercase name) will be searched for in /usr/share/openjazz after all other directories (so each separate game doesn't need its own copy, when you've got multiple games installed).

$HOME/.openjazz/ stores user preferences and any custom levels downloaded from multiplayer servers. Will be created if it doesn't exist.
