Xargon (Epic Megagames) modern modding tools

K1n9_Duk3

This archive includes XMod, a modern (2024) Windows gui-based level editor for editing levels in all episodes of Xargon (Epic Megagames DOS game from 1994). Instructions for using the editor to edit Xargon are included! XMod was created in 2024 by the person K1n9_Duk3. He has also released a similar program for editing levels in Jill of the Jungle called JMod (not included in this archive). The archive also contains the following useful tools for modding Xargon: 1. Two command-line CMF music players for DOS that play CMF files exactly like certain versions of Jill and Xargon would play them. These might be useful for letting your composers hear what their music will sound like in the game. And they're useful if you just want to listen to the game's music without playing the game, of course. 2. Compiled executables for all three volumes of Xargon with the original 1990s built-in editor enabled. Simply drop these into your Xargon directory and run them if you would like to use the old editor in each episode. This also includes a step-by-step guide for how to compile the Xargon source code yourself, so that you can modify the level messages much more freely (and add more than the default 16 messages if you want) instead of hex-editing the executable to overwrite the original level messages.
