So, I´ve paused working on the animation loading for now. I cant figure it out right now. I will go back to that on another day.
Searching through the game files: I have found some files for the level scripts called: "NERP". Which seems to be compilable with C and the defined macros.
However it might be smarter to just write an interpreter for it, or maybe a compiler to Java byte code?
I have had a little break the last days (since I move my stuff into my apartment), but I have made some progress on the map loading (hence the level scripts).
from left to right: Surf_01.map, Dugg_01.map and Croc_01.map.
As proposel:
instead of the NERP scripts I would include lua as level scripting language (maybe with some spins like brackets), what would be your opinions on that?
as of now:
I will work on map loading and make a little demo, so you can try it out.
Fixes will of course come as I go.
