config.crock - master configuration file for crock

---

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

There are four types of commands: set, background, sound, and player. Each command is terminated by a newline. Lines that begin with a hash sign (#) are interpreted as comments and are ignored, as are blank linkes. Set entries have the following form:

set variable value

variable

can be one of the following:

width

to set the global width of the screen

height

to set the global height of the screen

value

is a numeric value.

Background entries have the following form:

background filename xoffset yoffset level_name

filename

is the full path to the X bitmap file for that background.

xoffset

and yoffset are numeric offsets for the image in pixels. If zero, the bottom, left corner of the image is anchored to the bottom, left side of the window.

level_name

is the name of the level. It is a string that is terminated by the end of a line, hence are legal characters to use. Note that this name might be used in crock itself, for certain properties that are specific to a particular level.

Note that there can be as many background lines as desired. If not cached, crock will load in the image at the beginning of the match.

Sound entries have the following form:

sound_keyword filename

sound_keyword

tells crock which sound to load. Legal values are:

fight

for the word "fight", spoken at the start of a round.

finish

for the phrase "finish him", spoken at the end of a match when a finishing move can be performed. Since there are no female fighters currently, a "finish her" sound has not been implemented.

flawless

for the phrase "flawless victory", spoken when the winner has received no damage during a match. There is no text displayed simultaneously for this.

fatality

for the phrase "fatality", spoken after a fatality has been performed.

startfatal

for the sound effect at the beginning of a fatality move.

player1wins

for the phrase "player one wins", spoken at the end of a round that is won by player one.

player2wins

for the phrase "player two wins", spoken at the end of a round that is won by player two.

filename

is the full path to the sound file. It can be in any format that netaudio accepts.

Player entries have the following form:

player filename

filename

is the full path to the config file for that player. For details on the format of the player's config file, refer to player.config.5
