Tumblebugs


All the level data you would need to change is in one file. Thank goodness 
because there are an awful lot of .xml files with this game.

The file you will be editing is called 'tumblebugs.xml' and if you installed 
the game to the default directory it should be located at 
'c:\my games\tumblebugs\media'. As usual, and you'll probably get tired of 
hearing it, make a backup copy of the file just in case.

Very important, I will be using the letter n to represent numbers in this tutorial.



Extra Lives:
------------
Your starting lives can be changed. It's located on line 5 of the file and looks like this:
[lives value="n"/]
n should probably not exceed 255, although I have not tried it.

Bonus Points
Lines 88 and 89 affect the bonus points at the end of the level. The ones that appear 
right after you splat the pusher bug and are normally 75 and 30 points.
Line 88 is the points from the squashed bug to the location of the last bug and looks 
like this:
[pathbonuspushertohead value="n"/]
I set n to 250 points, it was 75.
Line 89 is the points from the location of the last bug to the hole and looks like this:
[pathbonusheadtoexit value="n"/]
I set n to 100 points, it was originally 30.
These two settings are global and affect every round.

The rounds data starts at line 715.

To find the data for a particular level you want to edit, you will need to know the 
name of the level. The data for each round begins with:
[roundconfig]
[name value="Round And Round The Garden"/]
Where name value will be equal to the name of the level you wish to change.
