Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Sorry, but i have to admit, this was quite poorly done compared to some other conversions, but it isnt terrible:

1) Layer usage: the layers cant be used too well, nothing for layers 7,6,5,2,1. And there isnt really a background that you can use! 1/2

2) No example lvl: Well, i really would have liked an example lvl, but there isnt one. that is especially bad because the tileset is quite hard to use, nobody has used it before in a lvl that i have seen! 0/2

3) tiles: well there are very little bugs, and the tiles must be flipped to use the tileset, like for walls. also there arent very many tiles but there are nice animations. and a few added tiles which is good. 1/2

4) Conversion itself: well, it has all the tiles JJ1 uses in the JJ1 lvls, and it has the animations.the added tiles are quite useful (destruct scenery, trigger scenery .ect) but the conversion is how it should be. 2/2

5) Others: i dont really like the way the tileset is made but it is good, and i dont kno how to make tilesets but this isnt much of a great tileset, becoz it is a conversion that is from JJ1 (i luv JJ1) i have to give this rating. 2/2

1+0+1+2+2= 6/10
0.5 for generosity!

Unfortunately the animations is poor. It’s too low pallette and you make the floors and walls with background which destroy the quality.
However I used your tileset no NOKA’s to make my Episode Two,because I wanted the orginal Letni.
The computers animation was good and blue screen too,but in dark-blue screen animation was very poor.
What’s a pity that the background isn’t animated but besides is quite good!

PS(for not Polish):The name of planet Letni means summery ;)

[Letni is Intel backwards. ~cooba]

I’m sorry but this is a bad tileset. Let’s look over the problems.

First thoughts
Well when you first look at the tileset, you may thing to yourself, “Hey, this looks pretty good. you got animations, hills, bridges and all that good stuff.” Once you actually start yo build something with it though, you realized just how bad it is.

Tiles
While there are quite a couple of tiles in this tilest, there are lots missing. you have your basic hills and ground and animations. There is a lot missing though. There’s no sky or background, no SIGNS, poles, suckers, hooks. There are Jazz 1 signs. What is there can look ugly. There’s just to much missing to make this a good conversion.
3/10

Animations
Well when you first look you say that the animations look decent, but no. The basic Lenti flashing chips aren’t included and i could give a 1 just for that. the electric walls look bad because of the background surrounding it. Same thing with the monitors. there are lots of frames missing in some of the animations. (they look fine, but in Jazz 1 there were more frames) There’s some spinning light animations and some static TVS. the animations are good, but the fact the pulsing chip isn’t here and some of the animations look horrible, I can’t give more then a 2.
2/10
Colors
This colors look off. I don’t know why everything just looks dingy and off. Maybe it would look better if the pulsing chip was here?
3/10
pallet events
Non are used so I won’t rate.
Masking
Masking is decent but there are some things, like the pushers, that you can go through for some reason. Masking could be a little better as something should be mask but aren’t. the Jazz 1 signs have weird masking on them.
4/10
Final score: 11/40
Score: 2.5
Rank: F
DR? I’m sorry but this is just way to off from jazz 1. You can download because this is the only one available, but I’d rather just wait for a better conversion.

This tileset is lacking background animations that are used in the origional. although quite good and very accurate, It is missing some things (Mainly animations)

I have made two levels with this (One not released, since it’s on a crashed hard drive)

-The 45 degree slope is missing a tile to continue the slope The first slope using this tile in JJ1 has the animation circuts on it, but further into the level, there is a complete 45 slope without any hinderence.

-There is no animated background, and it is poorly done. this is painfully obvious when you put a Backgroun CPU next to the circuts.

-Many of the tiles have backgrounds. This might be okay if you are only using layer 5 as the background, but using all 8 layers? Forget it. Make the tiles backgroudless next time

in short, if you are looking for a Letni Tileset, this is the only one on J2O right now. Until a new (And better) one comes out, I recommend against downloading this.

Cool!This tileset rocks!First to include jazz1 signs and stuff.[This review has been edited by Inf. Spaz]

i think i was number 27 in downloading this, so that means this is my lucky review! i think the jazz i stuff is well converter (even tho i never owned the jazz 1 full verson)and the original signs are cool. All you need for a 10 is a example level to show me how to use it (having never played letni).

It’s the best jazz1 tileset there is!

another great converison by >cell<

I must admit, this tileset contains more than the usual conversions…

Besides that there is not much to say on this… I mean… Its a conversion and it looks like jazz 1 letni… yap thats it.

I’m a really big fan of your JJ1 conversions, and I’ve got basically all of ‘em! This one really stood out; it has plenty of tiles, and some new ones, too. However, it’s a hard tileset to use to build levels… ofcourse, a better one would be hard too; Letni’s a tough tileset for anyone!

Thanx guyz, even though i`ve not made a conversion in a long time… I`m working on a level pack using Mystic Legends tilesets. When thats done, i`m planing to maybe make a improved Medivo conversion(beter rain animations, wall tiles, destruct scenenry, etc,etc).

I would rate this, but when I tried to download it, it said: this page cannot be displayed.

Keep uploading the conversions! Yeah….

Well, it’s a Letni conversion, and it’s a working Letni conversion. That much is good.

Beyond that, I was massively underwhelmed by CelL’s JJ1 conversion.

In his defense, Letni is a pain in the donkey to work with. The visuals are limited, the music bland and unappealing, the levels boring and unengaging, the tileset even more so. Letni is one-dimensional and uninspired, and it’s arguably the most unpopular JJ1 planet of ALL time (Matched only by Raneforus, Muckamok and Ceramicus).

However, if one is making a JJ1 conversion, one must gut through the pain and misery and do a good job.

While most if not all of the Jazz 1 tiles appear to be there, not all of them are the right color (Especially the yellow, blue and red pulze lights mounted on the dark blue background). There’s no clear background duplicates of the orange and light blue floor tiles, limiting the JCSer to one measly BG choice. Speaking of this, there’s no fancy backgrounds or anything. No fluff tiles (Which are extraneous tiles that weren’t present in the original set, but still add a positive element to the conversion. These are things like sucker tubes, blast’em blocks/buttstomp blocks, vines/hooks, et cetera) of any kind. Grouping was absentminded at best, sloppy at worst.

There’s extremely little present here in this tileset to work with.

In short, it looks like CelL just copied all of the tiles from Jazz Jackrabbit 1 over to the conversion and slapped everything together.

I wish he had done a better job with it, because J2O is STILL waiting for a decent true-blue Jazz 1 Letni conversion (Not remake, conversion) to be created.

Neutral DL rec, since it’s not a very good tileset, but it’s the closest thing to an adequate Letni conversion out there at present.

Enigma, don’t blame the great Letni. It wasn’t really so ugly, and these black ‘n white making tiles (wish we could make something like this in JJ2…) were cool.

No example level. Boo.
Anyway, conversions just don’t deserve high ratings, because they’re not your own work. I learned from that too, and now I only draw tilesets. You should do the same thing.

It looks kinda odd too, it’s small and ugly. Here’s a 5 for the effort (IMO it deserves less, but I’m not a bad guy).

Hmm.. its good conversion……….(short review, isn’t it?)
