Compatibility

optional (!)

contains all the details to check if a level is compatible with the running Jump King Plus version.

<OptimusUnderline> and <Tangerine> ??? string No
<LocationFont> Font used for the location name popup string No
<GargoyleFont> Font usually used for the Gargoyles in the game string No

While the <Fonts> tag is required, every tag inside <Fonts> is optional so can be left as following:

<!-- Custom fonts, leave blank if default -->
	<Fonts>
		<MenuFont></MenuFont>
		<MenuFontSmall></MenuFontSmall>
		<StyleFont></StyleFont>
		<OptimusUnderline></OptimusUnderline>
		<Tangerine></Tangerine>

Both MainBabe and MainShoes are supposed to be called as such, as the .xnb files located in /mods/ending. Do not include the extensions in the name, the game is automatically set to find the .xnb files.


EndingLines

required

contains the ending lines/credits for finishing the custom level. Ending lines is an array of <Credit>, an array means that there could possibly be multiple <Credit> tags.

Credit

optional

Can be found inside <EndingLines>, this contains a header as the title, an array of strings called <People>.

People

optional

Can be found inside <Credit>, this contains a list of <string> for every person credited (or text per line). Try not to add more than 5 strings per credit since it might look bad or even not work.

If you have done this correctly, it might end up like this:

<!-- Ending lines for finishing the mod -->
	<EndingLines>
		<Credit>
			<header>Babe of Ascension</header>
			<People>
				<string>Created by</string>
				<string>IntroCar</string>
				<string>Lord of Cheeses</string>
                <string>Kebb</string>
                <string>Zebresh</string>
			</People>
		</Credit>
		<Credit>
			<header>Creators of JK+ and JK+ Assistance from</header>
			<People>
				<string>Phoenixx19</string>
				<string>MERNY</string>
			</People>
		</Credit>
	</EndingLines>

Inside the Ending Lines, it’s possible to use the default library for translations included in the game. LanguageJK includes all the possible text in Jump King based by your localization language. Check out all the possible combinations here.

And finally, once you’re done you’ll end up with something like this:
