MP Mode

Installing it

1. P25.GOB is a level. Unzip it and drop the GOB into your episode folder.
2. Pick it from the episode list.

The GOB carries its own level, cogs, and materials.

These are living projects, not finished releases. A level is rebuilt whenever something is learned — a lighting rule, a texture orientation, a whole detail pass — and it keeps its filename through all of it. The build number is how to tell which one you have: it is printed in the readme inside every zip, and it only moves when the level's bytes actually change.

The readme that ships with it

========================================================================
 Jedi Knight Level

 P25.GOB

 A one-room MULTIPLAYER probe level. Four spawn seats, a wall of 200
 switchable panels, and a set of cogs that print what the engine thinks
 the session is: IsMulti, IsServer, GetNumPlayers, GetMaxPlayers, which
 walkplayer is yours, and whether a cog's SetWallCel is being
 replicated.

INSTALLATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drop P25.GOB into the `episode` folder of a Jedi Knight install (the one
that already has JK1.GOB in it) and pick it from the episode list.
Nothing else needs to change: the GOB carries its own level, cogs,
materials and sounds, and reads the stock resource/ for everything else.

On a libretro frontend, point the core at the GOB itself. It needs a
folder beside it holding `resource/` from a real install -- that is
where the retail data lives and none of it is in here.

NOTES
------------------------------------------------------------------------
  This is the cogfactory's FIRST TYPE 2 (deathmatch) episode. In a
  stock Jedi Knight it should therefore appear in Multiplayer -> Host,
  not in the singleplayer episode list. Whether it does is the one
  thing the automated tests cannot answer.

  It prints a lot. Every readout goes to the dev console as well as
  the log; that is the point of the level.

  The panel wall repaints itself a few seconds in. Yellow is the last
  of four cels; the wall changing colour means the cogs ran.

  The other three walkplayers are spawn points, not characters. Jedi
  Knight disables every player thing but yours, so in a solo session
  they are invisible and you walk straight through them.
