ATTENTION! Woodlands.zip is a update to Blade's Battle Pack #2. It has only
the files what are needed to run new Woodland levels (anyway the final
versions of other tilesets are included). So if you don't have Blade's
Battle Pack 2, You can't do anything with this.
Read this document carefully.

General info
------------
This is battle level pack, includes now 28 battle levels, uses my tilesets
(Aztec, Beton, Rocks, Glacier, Desert, Wasteland and brand new Woodlands).
This pack has the final versions of my all tilesets. No, really, this time
they really are final versions :). This pack also includes 7 custom music
pieces. I apologize the size of the pack. Please read "Tileset Information"
section, there is more info about the tilesets. Have a nice playing time.
Please play in 16-bit mode, if possible. Yes, I made (Iceman teached me
how) the warp backgrounds work in 8-bit modes, but everything looks too
sharp (Gems, transparencies, warp backgrounds...etc) in these
low-bit-modes.
This pack starts from level "Andes Mountains" (AztecBattle.j2l), but you
can start playing from other levels too. The levels are mixed now.
For level makers and everybody else:
If you are making level using my tileset and don't know all the tricks
how use these sets, or just want to see how I made these levels, this
can help you. Password to all levels in this pack is still simply
"blade". I think passwords suck. That's why I told it.
And please let me know, if you are releasing a level what uses my tileset
in Jazz2Online. I will rate every single one.
For those people who want to know how I made these tilesets:
I Just used 4-years old Paint Shop Pro v4.14 (I think v4 is the best) I
used just regular brush. No any filters or other technical stuff.
If you have any questions or comments, send an email to me.
(svesanen@hotmail.com)
And please do not ask about the music looping bug. The music won't loop,
and the reason probably is in the modules I converted to be JJ2 compatible.
I can't by the way get it why people doesn't use mod2j2b.exe to convert
their music files. It could save A LOT of disc space. This pack would be
about 10 mb big, if wouldn't use the convert program.
Notice: Levels and tilesets are made with Jazz Jackrabbit version v1.23.
