    This is a conversion of Raneforus. That is, the Raneforus included with JJ2.
    The transparencies are fixed, and some tiles are added. I.E. More arrows, text signs, blocks. However, what would have been preferrable is if the author had taken the time to get the tiles that were missing from Raneforus. E.G. Vertical walls.
    The masking needs work. Things are rather jagged, and there are lots of holes in masks.
    The colors are off. It’s not too noticable unless you switch back and forth between it and an original, though.
    Still, for those of you who don’t want to use Tarquin aka Crono’s conversion, which is in 1.23, has proper colors, has a (not working) textured background, but poor masking, this is something you might want to download.

    JSZ Jazz, I recommend you fix the bugs I mentioned, and send it to someone with 1.23 to convert for you.

    Response:
    To take screenshots in JJ1, press Backspace+F2. They will be saved in the JJ1 folder, under the name Screen#.lbm. (# being some number) Warning, though, if you press it too many times JJ1 crashes.
    Don’t just rotate the floor. The walls in Raneforus look different.
    A lot of the masks have little holes in them. While this doesn’t effect the gameplay, it looks really bad in JCS.[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

    No, he doesn’t. Rainforeous is a name of a planet in Jazz Jackrabbit 1, and the tileset is named correctly to my knowledge.

    The tileset is good, but not exceptional. I suppose this is worth a download recommendation, but don’t expect a masterpiece.

    Violet: It is included with JJ2 or do you mean JJ1? I can’t seem to find it on my JJ2 CD.

    Well OK, Violet, but first tell me how to make JJ1 screenshots. :P (can be a private message) And what’s wrong with the masks? I checked all the tiles and fixed all the mask bugs I found! BTW, I can make this vertical wall easily – by rotating the normal wall in my standard tileset making program (and the only one) – PAINT. :>

    Edit: !!! Thanks, Violet! I’ll re-upload file soon with bug fixes. And Krezack, I MEAN Raneforus. It’s a planet. :)[This review has been edited by JSZ Jazz]
