Building from Source

  1. Install the Rogue language from here to take advantage of the Rogo build system:
  2. Install the RGBDS assembler:
  3. Run rogo in this project's base folder.

Tools

  • Each of the following tools is provided as a precompiled Windows exe along with their original source code.
  • These exe files were last compiled circa 2000. No attempt has been made to update their project source. The Level Editor and Image Converter exe's are both confirmed to work on Windows 10.
  • During its original development, FGB was essentially a single folder containing hundreds of files. Because of this, each tool typically expects its data files to be in the same folder as the tool itself.
  • This project has now been reorganized to cleanly separate original assets, converted data, and source code into separate folders.
  • As such data files will generally need to be moved into each tool folder as inputs and the results moved back to the appropriate location if the editors are used.
  • Ideally at some point Abe Pralle or a contributer will update the editor projects to be in a modern Visual Studio format and adjust the input and output locations to utilize the current folder structure.

LevelEditor

Level Editor

  1. Refer to Media/DesignDocs/WorldMap.xls (slightly out of date) to identify levels you want to edit.
  2. Copy corresponding Data/Levels/*.lvl files to Tools/LevelEditor.
  3. Run Tools/LevelEditor, load, edit, and save the levels.
  4. Copy the modified levels back to Data/Levels/.
