MUSIC
Due to file size limits, I've had to upload the music for World of Jazz in
three separate installments to J2O. However, I shall still give you a list
of each song you will need from said three installments, so that you're all
set to jet.
IMPORTANT NOTE: BACK UP both OF YOUR JAZZ2 BOSS SONG FILES (Boss1.j2b and
Boss2.j2b) BEFORE USING WORLD OF JAZZ'S CUSTOM BOSS SONGS, AS THESE WILL
OTHERWISE OVERWRITE THE ORIGINALS!!!

Special thanks to Modarchive.com, from which I obtained the songs for
Levels 2,8,9 and Boss 1.
________OTHER STUFF_________
PLEASE play as Jazz! There's a reason why I named this "World of JAZZ", and
it's primarily because the pack plays to the strengths (and weaknesses) of
Jazz. Besides, I wrote the story to revolve around Jazz, and well...let's
just say certain plot elements will make little to no sense if you are
playing as Lori...or heaven forbid...Spaz.
I suppose it would be possible to play as Spaz or Lori if a few story/level
details were changed, but for now, unless you don't give a fig about
storylines, please just use Jazz.
I have gone back and forth with my betatesters on Level 9, and for reasons
we can't explain, Level 9 doesn't work too well in 1.23+. Therefore, it
might be a good idea NOT to play that level in a Plusified 1.23 game
engine. TSF and normal 1.23 should work just fine.
Level 6 looks weird in 8-bit mode. 16-bit colors are advised.
All right. I can't think of anything else profound to say, so I'll let you
go now.
No, I won't. Here's something profound: This project has gone through many
countless permutations since I first started working on it back in 2006.
Here today, it's my oldest and most large-scale effort to date.
Here's something else profound: Shiny Pumpkins are truly most exceptional!
Here's something else even more profound: Thank you SO much, Violet CLM and
Sonicnathan 1, for doing one (CENSORED) of a job on betatesting! This
entire project would be poodle roo in the city park without you. Best of
luck on your own projects!
Here's something else most profound of all: Thank you, God, for YOUR help
in this matter, both in maintaining my sanity and in helping me create
World of Jazz. You make this weary old world worth living in, and I'm
thinking that maybe, just maybe, life with you's not such a bad deal after
all. Plus, your son Jesus is pretty awesome. =D To You be ALL the glory.
Go play the pack now.
