DESCRIPTION:
|
|
------------
|
|
You can use the Gameboy Map Builder ("GBMB") to design maps for your own
|
|
Gameboy productions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
DISCLAIMER:
|
|
-----------
|
|
The Gameboy Map Builder is Freeware; you are allowed to use it in any way
|
|
you want, without paying me anything. The only thing I want in return are
|
|
bug-reports and enhancement-requests, which can be mailed to
|
|
hpmulder@casema.net.
|
|
|
|
You are also allowed (and encouraged) to distribute this software, as long
|
|
as you don't receive any payment for it. If you want to link your home page
|
|
to GBMB, be sure to link it to the main site, not directly to the file, as
|
|
updates will receive different filenames.
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind that you use this software at your own risk; any damage which
|
|
might occur, in whatever form, is your own responsibility.
|
|
|
|
|
|
TO INSTALL:
|
|
-----------
|
|
Start GBMB.EXE (That's generally it).
|
|
|
|
For maximum enjoyment, make sure all accompanied files are in the same
|
|
directory as GBMB.EXE. Also, associate .GBM-files to GBMB; next to loading
|
|
GBMB when you select a .GBM-file, GBMB will also start adding these files
|
|
to your Documents-menu when this association exists. Adding GBMB.EXE to
|
|
your start-bar or desktop might also simplify things.
|
|
