Blue Steel Large Skins for LockJaw ================================== Created by Rich „Weeds„ Nagel Overview -------- This archive contains two new replacement skins for version 0.40a (or newer) of Damian Yerrick's EXCELLENT "LockJaw" Tetris-styled tetromino game. Find out more about this great freeware Tetris game at http://www.pineight.com/lj on the Internet! The skins are larger-sized (48x48 block size) versions of my previously released "Blue Steel" skin for the game, and features a new background image (created from the pit portion of the "Story" mode background images of THQ's "Tetris Worlds" game for the PC), two types of block images (based on LockJaw's original "LJBlocks.bmp" and "LJConn.bmp" blocks image files), and color scheme. The skin also includes replacement background music as well (the Tracker format tune "Defloration" freely available on the Internet). Files Included in this Archive ------------------------------ Note that unlike most of my other previously released skins and skin packs for LockJaw, this archive includes only one playfield-position version of the new replacement skins, and are only suitable for use when LockJaw's "Playfield Position" option is set to "Left", and for single-player games (in the future, when LockJaw eventually supports multi-player games). Skin: "Blue Steel Large Skin" - Large (48x48 block size) version of my previously released "Blue Steel" skin for LockJaw, created using graphics from THQ's "Tetris Worlds" game for the PC.

To upgrade the Blue Steel Large Skins for LockJaw from any previous versions, simply overwrite the existing files within the same directories. Note that the Blue Steel Large Skins for LockJaw also require the Tracker format music file "LockJaw Technical Funk Rhythm 20G.xm" if you wish to hear music when playing any of LockJaw's "Rhythm" (20G) speed curves. This music file is not included in this archive, but is available as a seperate download from http://tang.cmoo.com/~snor/weeds/Weeds_LockJaw_Technical_Funk_Rhythm_20G.zip. Unzip Weeds_LockJaw_Technical_Funk_Rhythm_20G.zip to the same directory where LockJaw is installed on your hard drive to hear music when playing LockJaw using any of these speed curves with these skins. Usage ----- Simply run LockJaw, and then select your choice of either the "Blue Steel Large Skin.skin" or the "Blue Steel Large Skin Segmented Blocks.skin" "SKIN" files from within the game's "Skin" menu. As previously mentioned, these skins are only suitable for use when LockJaw's "Playfield Position" option is set to "Left", and for single-player games (in the future, when LockJaw eventually supports multi-player games). Note: For best visual results, set LockJaw's "Well Width" option to "10", the "Well Height" option to "10", the "Next Pieces" option to "5" or less, and the "Gluing" option to "Off" or "Square" within the game for the new replacement skins.
