Levels are now sent via the contact form. Let me know if there are any issues accessing them via the link.
If you want to preview the levels I dug out an archived version of brainchild designs website: https://web.archive.org/web/20160303200345/http://brainchilddesign.com/bottom.ph...

It could be. I downloaded them many years ago. I was pretty thorough so I wouldn't be surprised if they are all there.
I found this archived site too: https://web.archive.org/web/20110830033044/http://jumpnbump.spaceteddy.net/
The all levels zip still works.
I found it via the archive of: jumpbump.mine.nu

The link was “Level Mirror #1”.

Hahah... I should have looked harder - I think I was really bummed that I missed out on a website that was up for 20 YEARS STRAIGHT and I got a handful of levels from it in a hurry, (all the while, telling myself I should just get them all while I can, and not put it off) and then when I came back ONE WEEK later to fulfill my duty - the site is gone...
I actually believe my downloading caused a bandwidth spike on some account and someone realised they didn't want to pay for the webspace anymore and took it down!
It’s an issue with XBox controllers. I have XBox360 controllers but it should be the same for all XInput controllers that don’t have a magic switch on the controller to force them to use Direct Input. What kind of controllers were the 4 usb controllers?
A lot of frameworks allow at least 8 Direct Input controllers and a maximum of 4 XInput controllers. If they do this they use the XInput API for the XInput controllers and Direct Input API for the rest. When doing so they filter out all XInput gamepads on the Direct Input side so they don’t get duplicates. There is no easy way to know which 4xinput controllers are accessed via XInput so they filter out all of them from the direct input enumeration. Some frameworks have a way of disabling XInput altogether in order to access all controllers via Direct Input to get past the 4 controller cap for XInput controllers. As I understand this is only a Windows issue.
Ok, thank you for filling me in on the details of this issue. Yes myself and another user didn't run into the limit because we are both in the same situation of having 4 XBox360 controllers, and then some generic USB gamepads that were kicking around to make up the other 4 controllers.
It seems like this will affect only a percentage of a percentage of users, so I'm not sure how highly I can rate this, especially since it would likely require me cracking open Godot and re-doing how they handle input, OR re-writing it from scratch in SDL etc . and handling the input myself... neither of those options are trivial and would be entire projects in their own right! (The funding just isn't there at the moment!) That's just my current assessment though, and I'll be keeping it in mind and looking out for other complaints. The forum will be up soon where people can post about any issues, and who knows, if the paid version with extra features take off, it could warrant further development in the XInput handling area!
Although I will leave you with a glimmer of hope - I have a set of "de-make" games planned that will be written in SDL (and a rendering engine called "Tilengine") and a de-make of Jump 'n Bump - already itself a simple game, would be really cute. Well, the code is already there in my existing Godot version, most of the changes would be syntactic... maybe the de-make could be the basis of a new version that supports multiple xbox controllers? We will see where things go!
In other news - the nogore option is finished, I made glitter and streamers come out of them :) it was fun. I'll be uploading that on Friday.
Also - your donation makes up of 50% of my total donations. 2 people donated $5 and you donated $10. Yes... interest has been high but donations have been low - but I'm not surprised with it being donation based. So as far as I'm concerned, you're my platinum donator :) I'll reply here to personally let you know when the forum is up and the update is out. Make sure to register at the forum when I do, so I can keep better track of these discussions!
