What's New? (1.1b)
- Added a new colorblind sphere set! The sphere set is best used without 3D Hardware Acceleration, which is found in the Options menu.
- Improved the .BAT file. The file now uses ColorEcho by cyotek on GitHub to display multiple colors. If you are using a locale that has no ANSI characters (such as Russian or Chinese), you might need to manually set things (please DM me if you want to confirm).
- New help screen based off Luxor.
- Thumbnails updated to be more cleaner.
- Added links to the loading screen.
- Updated readme file, including an awesome new banner!
- Die, Zhaka Mu, Die! has a new coat of paint!
General Information
Mod name: | Community Made Zuma Mod |
Host: | CrushyGreenRen |
Current version: | 1.1b |
Release date: | May 3, 2019 |
Modded game: | Zuma Deluxe |
Difficulties: | Easy, Normal, Hard, Lunatic |
Development started: | July 24, 2018 |
Installation
You need a copy of the vanilla (unmodified) Zuma Deluxe game! The Sphere Matchers forum does not allow including the full game inside mods.For an online link, refer to the CMZM Steam Guide.
Zuma mods usually are total conversion mods, and CMZM is no exception. Regardless, any Zuma mod should have a different folder dedicated to them due to their nature.
1. Copy-paste your Zuma Deluxe folder to somewhere else, and name it CMZM.
2. Delete the fonts, images, levels, music and sounds folders. You can leave resources.xml from the properties folder as the game will prefer to load resources.xml from the pak file.
3. Apply the modification. Drag and drop the archive's contents into your CMZM folder. You can also do this by copy-pasting.
CMZM Batch File
A batch file is included with CMZM so you can easily change difficulties, exits and more to come!This is a replacement to the CMZM Launcher that came with the mod from 1.0 to 1.1 due to legal gray areas.
This batch file, instead, can swap out xml files for you, and can even remember your current difficulty!
