Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

I will make 1.24+ once I have a more final release of 1.23+

Great utility but is there any chance of making a TSF/1.24 version since I mostly play levels on TSF.

EDIT: I love this utility. But the CTF Death trick isn’t working.

@Rionaam: I don’t really know many of the features in 1.23+, but it does allow the music to continue playing even when you get roasted.

@Djazz: I think this was mainly designed to be used in Mulitplayer (MP) rather than Single Player.

Lethal liquid. Sounds dangerous.

Gameplay: 8/10
First off, I found the level very easy to navigate. And it did NOT have a mirror base. (The level was not symetrical.) There were some interesting warp placements, that actually made a bit of sense. Bad? I think there might have been too many sucker tubes used. But not really, because it fits well.

Eyecandy: 7/10
Looks very nice. Layers were done well, and animation was smooth. There was a bit too little eyecandy in an area or two, but other than that, good.

Placement: 7.5/10
Everything fit where it was placed. Only one seeker powerup, with no extra ammo. That is a good thing in multiplayer. The bases were far enough apart, and there were interesting warp uses and placements.

Overall: 7.5/10
A very nice level that I will keep around for that LAN Party, or maybe to host online someday. Either way, I think it has a good mix of gameplay and eyecandy, while still staying CTF at the core.

Download Reccomendation: Yes.

I’ve never seen something so esy to install. The program is so simple, so usefull and is completely bug free. It eliminates the JJ2 music restarting bug with the samples sticking just by keeping the music playing. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out how to install, infact, even a 5-year-old would find out how to install this if he knew how to unzip files. All of this uses up only 17.5KB of your memory. So small.

It is harder to turn the program off than it is to turn it on. A 5-year-old may end up deleting the file.

I don’t usually rate utilities, but this case is an exception…

@SPAZ18, fixed warp target at level 12.

No bugs does what its supposed to do a patch so no haveing to put a program on.
What more can i say does what it supposed to do. works on both versions.

I dont know how to use the other functions, if i open Carrotade v1.0 when running a server, it only popups the chatlogger.
How to use the other functions?
.::.=~!Jarno!~=.::.

No Warp Target at the end of LVL 12.

EDIT: Hitch has fixed it now.

This program was a breeze to install. Just unzipped it and clicked. Amazing. I usually have to read manuals for this kind of stuff but [insert program here] was so simple and user freindly I was impressed.
We live in an age where everyone uses computers and [insert program here] understands that. This program is just not for the smartiacs, and it’s simple interface displays this fact proudly. It’s so easy, even a baby could use [insert program here].
In this wave of the future, many programs are trying too hard to be overcomplicated jack-of-all-trades swiss army knives of the computer world. Not [insert program here]! It understands the “See a need, fill a need” approach of the 50s and is meant to do only one task that it excels at, instead of 50 functions of unknown quality hidden in a tome of a readme and a corperate interface. This task is [insert primary function here], and it’s done so perfectly that I am amazed at the perfection.
So download [insert program here] and have fun with [insert primary function here]. It’ll make you remember of a simpler time.

Haunted gardens

First of all I have to say this is very mest up. The layout isnt that good at all and there are way to many bugs.

+Gameplay+

Gameplay isnt that good at all. Some of the springs are to strong. The level can also get very confusing and difficult to play.
4.5

+Eyecandy+

The eyecandy has been better than your other levels but still it doesnt work out. Some of the tiles dont fit and the level seems empty. Add more eyecandy!
3.5

+Weapon placement/music+

Weapon placement is okay. Some times I found out there are too many weapons in one spot. The music doesnt fit in this level whatsoever. CHANGE IT NOW! I dont even know why you picked this music.
4.5

+BUGS!+

First of all, why is there a warp that comes out of no where. There are also a few spots where you can get stuck very easily and it gets every annoying.

Well, when I first saw it, I was like.. Oh great another Dreempipes level, but after racing through it and going through the different areas of the race, I realised it’s quite good. The tiles fit together, and there aren’t any/many tilebugs. There is a lot of the use of the color “black”, which can look nice when you just run through without looking right into it. The walls look supported as if it were real rather than floating crap in the middle of nowhere. The use of the pink waterfalls is just right.. You dont see too much or too little of it. I usually get bored using this set because I can’t get EC ideas, but Blacky has mastered it. There are new and original eyecandy concepts too. One last random note, when you get dizzy, the background still rotates and random tiles appear… Probably easy to do, but its hot! ;(

This is the sort of race where you shouldn’t go too fast, or too slow. You can’t just hold your button and hope to keep going ahead. You have to turn and change directions, slow down, speed up, shoot stuff. The gameplay isnt just the different for the first lap. There are also different and more/less strategic routes to take at some parts, I played this in a server… Everyone goes everywhere. I guess it keeps it exciting. Also, getting shot might mess you up in some places, but it also really helps you otherwise, it can let you go through pinball bumpers which might just bum you around.

Layout:
Rating: 9.2
Comments:
Well, pretty much everything is covered in the gameplay, but I’ll just run through it for anyone’s sake. ;/ There are 2 routes to take at the beginning, one being where the destruct-blocks are, and the other is just an empty tunnel which you have to reverse to go into.
Afterwards, there’s a little obstacle with pinball bumpers which’ll bum around those who arent shot.
After this obstacle, there’s another split way. One with destruct-blocks and freezies again, and the other has those cool caterpillars that make you dizzy.
After that.. you go up but there is a 6 tile wide path to go through. you have to go through the middle 2 tiles if you wanna keep going, otherwise, back down you go!
After THAT, there’s another path leading upwards then sideways. More freezies and destruct-blocks. Afterwards you go through a really cool looking tube, and BAM, the end of the lap. ;]

Placement:
Rating: 9.5
The ammo is well placed, and so are the obstacles. The ammo can be used to its advantage in various places, like to trap others at the end with bouncers, or chase others with appropriate guns. The freezies can really bum you down. All I can say is run into them with speed so you move or shoot them away. The events are all placed and there isn’t anything that is pointless/makes no sense in the level.

Final Comments:
This level fucking owns. Go play it. NAO

ARGH!!!! Can’t play this!!! It just don’t open when I wana play this! :@ x-(

Carrotade v1.0

First of all I have to say this OWNS! Carrotade is a great program which is a combination of Forest, NeoAc, and Project controller. If you don’t know what these programs are, then look them up.

Features

Now Carrtoade has many different features. These are some of the most common that I
Use and some that I don’t use as much.

• Instagib
• Kicking/banning player (Pretty useless. You can do this feature without Carrotade)
• Cycling games
• Starts/stops games
• Log players stats
• Shuffle teams (Ctf)
• Swap (Change a certain player’s team)
• Cycle Level filename (Cycles the level if it exists)
• Next level filename (When you cycle (/c) It goes to this level if it exists)
• Shuffle level (When cycling, it is shuffled)
• Team battle (Only capable when hosted in Ctf)
• Roast tag (Only capable in Battle)
• Save settings (well of course this is important)
• Capture (Whether you can capture or not. Useful in duels)
• Cycle [reset] (You set the time when you want the level to cycle)
• Auto cycle
• Off (Turns of custom mode. Custom mode= Roast tag/Team battle)
• Fix seek holes
• Laser protection
• Ip logging (This is indeed very useful)
• Weapon respawn (Yay, this program does have respawn on it)
• TSF compatible (Even though I don’t play tsf often, It’s good for other people who do)

Pit Levels

Pit Levels are pretty cool. A pit level was a great Idea. When you host a pit level they work well when you host them in Roast tag (/rt)

Roast Tag

This is a very unique idea. Like blur said in the “read me”, it’s kind of like Play tag. When I think of Playing Roast tag, I think of playing king of the hill. Blur calls it the “Eva’s Ring”. The instructions on how to play it are in the read me so I don’t need to explain any of that crap

BUGS!

1 – One of the bugs in Carrotade is it wont start when you don’t have JJ2 running. When you host a server when you already have the program running it wont work, so you have to open JJ2, host a server, then run the program Carrotade.

2 – Another bug is in Pitfall, I think overlord already explained this but you instantly die when you hit the pit, actually, you don’t hit the pit and still die. Anyone could double jump out very easily with spaz but it isn’t a HUGE bug.

Summary of Carrotade

To wrap this all up, I have to say this program is very useful. If you people are looking for a program to play evil, well, this isn’t for you. No, it does not have renaming the players on it, but who cares, all that matters is that this program kicks (-). Download recommendation, of course. If you don’t download this, it’s either you don’t have common sense, or you don’t have the ability to host. Great work blur, asome program. Keep up the good work.

EYECANDY – 1 OUT OF 10

Extremely poor. The Layer 8 BG is just 2 different colours, orange and blue, mixed together. Texture mode is used here and it looks bad. There is no foreground except some completely random “DANGER!” signs floating about in the air.

GAMEPLAY – 1 OUT OF 10

This is what some test levels have, bad gameplay. There are the usual tests that you have to complete. I couldn’t even finish Level 1 because it was too hard to even complete. There is a Morph awkwardly placed just before Level 1. You need Spaz for this level and you can’t get him through there because the Morph item RE-GENERATES and is in the way. You could have put the Morph on a separate platform. I didn’t really like this because it was just too boring and it gets repetitive.

TOTAL SCORE = 2 OUT OF 20 (1.0)

DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION?

No

RANK: U = Very poor

COMMENTS/ADVICE

1. You do not need to use the JJ2 music. Please choose something different. Also uploading the music was unnecessary.
2. Try to put some more thought into the eyecandy in the level.

VISUAL
Extremely ugly. The background is just one castle and one tubelecric tile just mixed together in an ugly pattern. Ony layer 7 there is just some random JJ2 logos just floating around randomly in midair. On layer 4 there is no eyecandy at all. Just a few of the same blocks on the ground.
The music you chose (KNOCKERB.MOD), sounds stupid in this level and completely spoils the atmosphere.
1/5

GAMEPLAY
Not more battle game edits! Why can’t you make you’re own, original levels?!
This is extremly inacurate anyway. They are all smaller now, but they’re flow has been completely spoiled by this. For example, in places where you would only need a red spring to get to the above area, there is a blue spring!
They’re all cramped and are very hard to move around in.
1/5

GOOD POINTS
None

BAD POINTS
No eyecandy
Bad Flow

VISUAl
Nothing. All there is is some boring flat ground, a few signs saying “DANGER” flying around randomly in the foreground, and few random character sprites just randomly placed. The textured BG is just 2 lines: 1 orange, 1 blue. It’s a nightmare just to look at it. Nothing original.
1/5

GAMEPLAY
No orignal gameplay whatsoever. For starters, the first level is impossible! Don’t make tests that you can’t actually complete yourself!
If you can’t complete a test, there’s a possiblity is could be impossible! In this case, it is! After using cheats to complete this level, I continued on through this level, seing all the usal boring stuff in a test.

*First level was impossible!

P.S: Don’t upload music that already comes with JJ2.

I’d also like to mention that with this patch applied, Controller v4.0 will no longer be able to change music by self destructing. However the latest Controller v4.1 (PB3.5) should support the automatic music change without the need to self-destruct. Use it to change music in mid-game without any side effects.
