Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Eh,my new controller program.That lets you make what you want to.Perfect.I recommend you to download.Thnx jam.Good job.
Fake rehost doesnt work but nvm.

Short review.

This is awesome. We needed this all-in one program looong time. Seekerhole, chatbug and warp target fix, entire Project Controller, Respawn, Instagib with tons, really TONS of new stuff, such as trigger controlling, quick spectate, fake minimize, fake server stop, changing all players to jazz/spaz, making all blink / never blink, or million of others. And in addition, it’s expandable by special libraries. All in easy-to-use interface with okay structure. And, what is the best, IT ALL WORKS!!!

Main minuses of the program are making jj2 crash when there isn’t exactly well written parameter and stability (hopefully it’s not because of my computer :OOO).

Great program, probably the best ever made. Get rid of that parameter bug and you have 10. Great work, jam. i hope to see you as programmer of… jj3! :DDD

Dude, THIS IS COOL!!!!!
LOTS OF OPTIONS!!!!!
now, u can morph ALL players on the server into Spaz!!!!
SO COOL!!!!!!
As a matter of fact… this is even better than controller…
but i found 2 bugs…
1.When ur the server, if u morph into a bird then back into jazz, (Or spaz), u’ll get hellicopter ears.
2.When u press “Full server-client synchronise”, The Program Crashes.
EDIT: Yes Danyjel, the program can crash JJ2 when you enter too long of a name.

I wonder which functions are server-only and which ones also affect clients in the server. Then I’ll edit this and make a huge review :)

How about including a readme explaining the myriad of buttons with cryptic labels?

Great stuff, lots of possibilities, probably the best JJ2 program yet.

[Rating (10) clearance. Why is the stuff great? What are the possibilites? ~Cooba]

This upload gets the honour of being the first one where I’ll be using my enhanced review system. It should provide longer reviews, yet save me a lot of work. A paradox, but it should work fairly well. Anyhow, here goes:

Visual Appeal – 2 out of 5

Uh well yeah. Take no offense on this, but I didn’t like the eyecandy at all. Firstly, it makes little to no sense that the background would be so terribly open while the level is supposed to be an underground depository? Also, a lot of the level was barren. Most of the walls seemed to be the same 2×2 block pasted over and over, which looked very dull and uninteresting. The layer 4 background weren’t all that good looking either, and most of the time the mournful background was gloriously exposed. Blargh. There was also some sparse layer 3 eyecandy, but most of the time it was either buggy: or it blocked 80% of my vision, causing me to bump into enemies. Overall, the level doesn’t have the scary atmosphere it was intended to have, and the lightning doesn’t help it, either.

Playability – 2 out of 5

This field was also below average. Most of the level involved searching for leaky radioactive barrels and blocking off access to them. Most of the barrels were placed on the main path of the level (why would a depository be so linear?), and thus it wasn’t as fun as it might have been. Also, the whole thing became boring after a while. Not sure why, but it might be a fault of the linearity. This level also was lacking in terms of hardness, it was mainly easy in most places. In some areas, however, there were vines placed just above the radioactive radius of the barrels, and I couldn’t avoid getting hurt there. There were some carrots on the way, so it wasn’t much of a problem in the long run, but still seemed unfair for me. And for a closing note, I wasn’t really happy with how there were little to no puzzles in the whole level.

• The general idea was decent.

• The execution was lacking, honestly.

Overall
This level was pretty average. The story and the idea were good though, and they made me raise an eyebrow, as well as the overall rating. However, the level itself was quite a letdown… work on your levels a little more.

I didn’t like this level very much. It is not a test. The background could have been changed to a much brighter one so it would be more eyecandy. Yet still i can’t still understand what is the objective of this level. On my opinion I can’t give you more than 4

i didnt like much this level
(Unsupported rating (4) removal. ~Violet)

!!!!
This is like, 10 times better than ChatLogJJ2 or whatever it was called. And that didn’t even work on my computer. This has WORKING chat saving with a timestamp option. Logs roasts, captures, joining and leaving… Has a text box to send chat to jj2. Can generate stats for level and individual players, minimize to system tray… Let’s break each thing down here.

:: Basic Form and User Interface is simple and Friendly. -> 1.0

:: Saving and Loading Options with Timestamp. -> 1.5

:: Minimize to system tray and run in the background. -> 1.0

:: Optional and Automatic “Auto-Ignore”, “Filter Word Array” and the option to choose what to log (Roasts, CTF Points, Joining and Leaving, etc) -> 3.0

:: Option to Generate Statistics for a current log or a saved one, and view the stats of each individual player since SalLog was run. -> 3.2

Total Rating: 9.7
Recommendation: HIGHLY YES
Final Comments: SalLog is THE essential server/client side logging program for Jazz Jackrabbit 2. Period.

—Red

Not a bad level. I liked the concept. The only real problem was the length of the level.

Eyecandy 4/5: The regular background could have been better (plain white gets boring). Everything else was great.

Gameplay 4/5: Good. Some of the paths were difficult to find, but it was a nicely done level. I think it would be helpful if you used pulze lights to indicate areas with radiation, however. That would make the level a little less frustrating.

Enemies 4/5: Nothing super. It kept me entertained, so you must have placed them well.

Item placement 2/5: There wasn’t much to speak of. I think the ammo at the beginning was about it :/

Bonus: I liked the concept. Keep making levels like this, and make them longer.

You want more reviews? Well here’s another.

This level is perhaps one of the BEST EVER I have played on JJ2.

EYECANDY: WOW! The eyecandy is MAGNIFICENT! I love the way the Story is presented in the intro. Very cool. LOTS of the tiles are used. No repetitive backgrounds or foregrounds. The Spaceship levels make it look as if you are really in Space. 10/10

GAMEPLAY: LOTS to do. The levels are VERY LONG AND HUGE. There are 15 levels in total in this pack (2 save points, 1 intro). There are TWO endings to get in the pack, a superb idea. The password system in one of the levels is a fantastic idea. 10/10

DIFFICULTY: This pack is hard, even on easy. On Hard, the puzzles are made much harder. 10/10

MUSIC: I really love the music used in this pack. All the music goes well with every level. 10/10

ENEMIES: Not too many or too less. Enemies are not found in annoying places like on the end of platforms. They are very well placed. The way the Bilsy bosses are used is SUPER. 10/10

OBSTACLES: There are LOTS of obstacles on each level. Hidden Destruct Scenery, secret passages, lots of Trigger Crates and lots of Trigger Zones to find. 10/10

EVENTS: The eventing used in this pack is REMARKABLE! I love the way the Escape Pod moves with Jazz in it. The way the TNT events are used in the Spaceship are also fantastic. 10/10

TOTAL: 70/70 (10.0)

BONUSSES:
This pack is compatible with 1.23, so you don’t need TSF to play this. +0.5
The whole pack is only just under 200KB. It’s amazing that you can fit that many levels in just that size. +0.5
TOTAL BONUS = +1.0

FINAL MARK = 11/10
But it will have to be 10 since scores like that are impossible. I would have done 11 if it was possible.

DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION?

Darn right, I reccomend this! So, what are you waiting for? Download this NOW!

GRADE: S (Better than A!)

BTW, this is my second 10 rating now!

@Donda97 & Lori98: READ the level description. There’s a link you can click on to download the music and tilesets. Otherwise if EvilMike did include the tilesets and music, the level pack would be OVER 5MB and the limit on J2O is 2MB.

Why didn’t you upload the tileset! when i’ll write the real review I’ll reduce (No need reducing mark “0.5”~Donda97, my reviews edit revises) mark.

EDIT:

When I run the level (Rebirth of evil)

IT ALWAYS SAYS:

Error:

Cannot find level or tileset for “######’

Please make sure that Jazz Jackrabbit is installed properly or if a problem presits re install jazz jackrabbit.

Back, please tell me the problem!

Donda97 and Lori98 Team.

for Spaz18 Okay then, why he didn’t seperate to several pieces 2 MB for as much allowed of mb to each levels with tilesets and music?and the music gave over 4 mb with tilesets to make that take lots of time to download?, Donda97

OK, I’ve never reviewed Hotels before so here goes.

NAPOLEON HOTEL REVIEW:

EYECANDY: I love the Tileset. The level is set out just like a Hotel. The Rooms look great. Only Layers 4, 5 and 8 were used but they were used very well. Eyecandy has improved now, the mountain background makes it look like that you are climbing a mountain during the Mountain Climbing part. 9.5/10

BUGS: There was a bug in the Pool, the water kept disappearing and re-appearing and Jazz/Spaz/Lori wouldn’t swim in it. The bug in the rooms is now fixed. Unfortunately, I dunno how to fix the Pool bug. I will look at the level to see what’s wrong. 9/10

FUN FACTOR: There was lots to do in this hotel. Quiz, Tests, Sports, Battle and Mountain Climbing. I loved them all. The Tests were very hard. I thought the Quiz was a great idea. I never thought of doing that. 9/10

PICKUPS: There are lots of Gems and Coins and a Fast Feet pickup in the Mountain Climb. I don’t know what the coins were for but I’m guessing they were for the Shop. When I went to buy an item the number of coins didn’t decrease. But the coins were very well placed. 9/10

TOTAL: 36.5/40 (9.125)
Since I can’t do 9.1 or any scores to 2/3 decimal places, I will put the nearest to that which is a 9.2

DR: Yes.
Host: Yes, in Battle.

EDIT: I have looked at the level and still dunno what’s causing Jazz/Spaz/Lori to not swim. You have typed in the correct numbers in the Height but I just can’t work out why the character cannot swim.

EDIT 2: I gave this 9.2?!

it sounds all good to me…and i like the funny ending

Awesome!!

The discovery of this is amazing, and has many useful functions if we can find more things like this.
Discovery: 5.0 – Definately

Simple and User-Friendly interface, checkbox to enable/disable.
UserInterface: 3.5

Takes up virtually no memory and even jazz-illiterate people could use it.

What this program does is disable certain sounds in the JJ2 music, making for a familiar tune that has been mixed. It’s like an instant remix of the JJ2 level’s music that you are on.

I love this.
Overall: 8.5
Download Recommendation: YES

Nah, I really disagree. You put a good bit of effort into the pack, but there were several things that annoyed me.

Eyecandy 3/5
It could have been better, but you seemed in a rush to get these levels out. Please spend more time adding scenery. Also, you need to work on your English. I couldn’t understand the puzzle on the ice level.

Gameplay 3/5
The enemies wern’t really placed anywhere strategically. They were easy to kill and didn’t present much of a challenge. Another thing I had a problem with was all the pits that you couldn’t get out of. You need to warn the player of these or create them so you can see the fire/spikes/whatever just at the edge of your screen when you hold the down key. Nevertheless, it was a decent pack, and not a complete irritant.

Ammo placement 1/5
You need to spread the ammo out more so it’s not in such big clumps (along with all other powerups). The blaster powerup made the rest of the levels too easy. I never even had to use the ammo for a puzzle.

Food placement 3/5
It was okay, but it would be nice if you actually did something with the food aside from putting it into strings of clumps

Enemy placement 2/5
Nothing great. They were all fairly easy to kill and never annoyed me. A big yawn-rating there~

Other:

You need to include the music for your pack in the zip file. I had to search modarchive and j20 for a while to find all the songs I didn’t already have. Assume that someone has just installed jj2 and doesn’t have any extra files.

Work on your english.

and uh..

spend more time on your levels. Make them challenging, but not frustrating. I don’t know why this is becoming such a trend with new levelmakers, but it has to stop.

The mod may be considered CTFDOM. [More like Bank Robbery as people are telling you… ~Cooba]

By the way you have permition to add weapons or pickups to the level. Please do not change anything else unless you’ll improve it. Thanks

Wow! I liked the hotel and the rooms well I can say ur tricks:

Lamp switch: trigger zone
Elevator: using a certain animation
Golf Turtle Shell: A TNT in the hole
Eva Talking: Text.

Let’s talk now:

1:Rooms: Almost all rooms were Eva and RedJazzes filled just room 3,4,5,13 were empty and an uneeded two places:
A kitcken and a bathroom. EDit: + bonus for the kitchen and bathroom. 5

2:Diner Room: There are just 5 plates seperated on three tables and they came back outta generation after lots of time.1

3: Pool wasn’t fun: what did you did in pool? (message removed/breackes the rules)…2

4:Golf is tooooooo fun!:THe Golf Is the most good work in the hotel!Even when I open the level I jump out to the golf to play why? the golf was a bit tricky. 5

5:Pinaball? why spending time: we must a three regenerated second coin to get and play pinball, which was not good though they are just under and you must place a bank and you can’t get more higher than spring 2, which was very unjoyfull.
4

6::Frezzer Tag?Why?: Edit:oh sorry I made another thing in funhotel2 called just freezer with your same tileset I liked it though because of it’s ammo placing 5.0

7:Battle arena: The same old story: this is cooperative! edit:oh sorry I didn’t know thath hotel levels had those 5.0

8:Airboard arena: edit: Oh sorry that was the guide to battle arena and it’s your first hotel to make more fun you did that. 5.0

9:Rollar copster: I don’t like rollar costers because are no fun and boring I prefer things for use fun like a casino.

Sorry. this level was good and bad some.

[Review bleached by Cooba, rating recleared… please stop doing this.]

Is this enough or there is way more.

I was going to listen more to this and hopefully do a review later, but I leave for a two week next morning and there really isn’t much to listen to.

This song has a nice drum and bass beat to it…

…but it really isn’t that much of a jungle mix. Sample 8 screws the song up and sounds like someone is constantly ripping your insides out. Also, because there are only four channels the song felt rather empty (some of that caused by the bass sound). I also didn’t hear much chrysilis in there. Just the piano part for 8 short patterns….which is over half of the song.

GOOD POINTS:

Nice drum and bass beat

BAD POINTS:

Sample 8 screws up song
Song feels empty
Not much chrysilis
Short (lasts for around 40 seconds)

RATING: 2.4
RANK: 2 Terrible
DOWNLOAD?: No
