Jailbreak Developer Network -- tips, tutorials and documentation

[Mychaeel]

The Jailbreak Developer Network provides tips, tutorials and documentation for everything relating to Jailbreak mapping and coding:

http://www.planetjailbreak.com/jdn/

Mappers might find the following pages interesting:

• JDN: Placeable Actors -- lists and briefly describes all Jailbreak-specific placeable actors
• JDN: Jail and Release -- describes how to set up a basic jail and release switch
• JDN: Arena -- describes how to set up an arena
• JDN: Scoreboard Minimap -- describes how to set up the scoreboard minimap for your map
• JDN: Loading Screen -- describes how to add a custom loading screen to your map (to be displayed instead of a random selection of the ones showing the default maps)
• JDN: Mapping Problem Solver -- has answers to common questions and problems
• JDN: Guidelines -- a checklist of the features a Jailbreak map should have

For Coders, the following pages are a good start:

• JDN: Jailbreak Add-Ons -- describes the basic idea of Jailbreak Add-Ons and how to create one
• JDN: Classes/Jailbreak -- lists all Jailbreak core classes and links to their description and source code
• JDN: JBAddon -- documentation for the JBAddon class, the base class for all add-ons
• JDN: JBGameRules -- documentation for the JBGameRules class which provides hooks into fundamental Jailbreak functionality
• JDN: JBScreen -- documentation for the JBScreen class which provides extended support for playing audio clip sequences
• JDN: Guidelines -- guidelines for code style, such as names and formatting

If you want to make a Voice Pack, have a look at the following pages:

• JDN: Making Voice Packs -- a tutorial describing how to create Jailbreak voice packs
• JDN: JBSpeechClient -- in-depth information about Jailbreak's versatile announcement system.

This is a very good guide. I used this to fix some massive bugs in the Jailbreak map I am working on. I just need to do the panerama view. which i haven't got around to.
Thanks for writing the guide Mych.

RavuAlHemio has written up a nice tutorial on making voice packs. (I've edited the first posting to reflect that.)

Oh, and Mych, thanks for reviewing the tutorial and making it blend in with the rest... Next time I write a tutorial in the JDN, I will try to do as well as possible

That means, if I ever write a tutorial again.

I guess I will, I'll just have to find a good topic

Since the Jailbreak site has been moved we no longer hav the JDN

Can we get this fixed?
