[screen]

I don't see why I shouldn't use overused tilesets...

The background is pretty empty. The walls could also use some more EC and I noticed that your using the same holes in the walls over and over again but the tileset offers more.

[P¼ul]

is it just me, or is this level based upon insdark1...?
(you little thief, not only you steal my signature and tileset names "(-) 2.0" and now layers and eyecandy from my levels :mad: )

Derby: Filter bypass replacement. Bypassing the filter is prohibited in every situation.

[cooba]

(before you point it out, PJ intended to use 2.0 instead of + when he was making it)

[cooba]

Ok sorry P4ul i didnt know that the EC was used before in Insdark1.Then why were the background layers exactly the same?

[PurpleJazz]

Ok I might of copied from Insdark1 a bit. I'm going to scrap that level now, so we can all forget about it.

Sorry for lieing in the previous post.

And about what Cooba said about (-) +, that is true.

[Camou]

(-) it looked like all the other gazillion diamb levels out there. Just with less ec.
And (-), not allowed to use a 2.0? Go sue Web 2.0, Firefox 2.0 and other 2.0's, crybaby.

Picture of the layout, but it misses some parts. I gotta do ec but it's boring.

one of those days in the month?

I was just wondering why you were so angry at PJ7 for using a 2.0, when it wasn't even public I guess. And I don't see any resemblence between your siggie and PJ7, maybe except for a link to an upload, which more people do. The censor isn't anything like f u or something.

I agree.

Nice level Layout Camou. But maybe too many platforms?

Most of them are there just because it was too empty :P And they help stuff I guess. I'm not too fond of the layout, but ya.

[snzspeed]

i would feel flattered if someone would rip off my levels.

[PurpleJazz]

Ok lets end this topic about stealing other peoples ideas now. That level was never going to be realsed in the first place anyway, it was just a test level just to practise making simple CTF levels. It was a sort of mistake to show a pic of it. And I promise I won't ever steal other peoples ideas or show pictures of random stupid test levels again.

[Blackraptor]

i would feel flattered if someone would rip off my levels.

No you wouldn't. It feels like (-).

[snzspeed]

No you wouldn't. It feels like (-).

Lies, the background very slightly resembles that in my race level using that tileset!
Well, it looks good. I think you should vary the shape and size of those eyecandy platforms in the foreground though, it looks pretty copypasted as is.

[PurpleJazz]

Your level isn't released nor have I seen it yet so it doesn't really matter.
Maybe you should change the background in your level if you want your level to be different.

[Camou]

That looks depressing xD I'm working on a new level too. Not going too fast though.

I can't decide wether or not I like the color scheme, as right now it looks like some of the colors are clashing. However it seems like it could potentially look awesome with a few palette changes.

[Fawriel]

Trees' leaves <-> rest of the tileset

[PurpleJazz]

Unfortunately the layout of that level turned out too linear, so I'm re-starting it.

Everything like the BG will still be the same.

Hm... I'm not a big fan of levels and tilesets, so this is probably my first reply in this thread. It would also be the first level I am making that has nothing to do with the creation of server tools.

http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/5994/firetruckmapta9.th.png (http://img412.imageshack.us/my.php?image=firetruckmapta9.png)

This single-player level involves going round and round a pumper, but exploring it thoroughly. It is driven by none other than Jazz himself, and like all good firemen, the level will be nothing but confusing puzzles.

NB: MS Paint FTW.

Here it is again. As you can see, the tileset has been changed.

[Olsen]

I like the look of that, for more than one reason. ;D

However, I think the big carrot can get a little confusing, since you can believe it's actually masked. But that's only the first time you're playing, I think.

I really like the look of that, actually.

That reminds me, I was even thinking of making a Carrotus Fix Diamondus version, with a diamondus palette. Perhaps...

[cooba]

Sounds like fun =D

It turned out quite nice, but unfortunately, due to palette stuff and placement the wooden pieces became blue, and it would be too much of a job to remake it in paint. :/

Reading the posts, I see the wood is finished now, though I want to say that the wood looks quite good, being blue. It may not fit the Diamondus theme, but looks interesting nonetheless.

In the future, all wood turned blue and the sky turned brown.

[DarkSonic]

Yeah, PJ.. there are some tilebugs there.. but that EC liooks much better than the EC in my Secret Base: ID 20516. The wall EC and ground EC is much better, but like I said.. there are some tilebugs if you can call them tilebugs.

[Ragnarok!]

EC looks good so far PJ, if you'd fix those bugs.. It hurts my eyes =[

[PurpleJazz]

Tilebugs are now fixed! :D

[DarkSonic]

Well, I hope you will really fix them soon. I showed you how to make it ;P

Anyway, I said that I was going to continue Impressions but I still haven't D:
I'm sure I will finish it, but I just don't know when ;/

[Tik]

This isn't a level, but a tileset.

<img src="/junk/tick/tileset1.jpg">

I will probably never finished it. ;(

[PurpleJazz]

That looks nice, but its a bit grainy in places.

[Fawriel]

Hmmm. To be very honest, Tik, that tileset looks like it has potential, but there's something missing in it to make it awesome... I'm not sure what it is, and I guess it still misses eye-candy stuff, but I'd suggest for one to make things.. smoother. The grass looks a little as if it was a low-quality jpg, and I'd suggest making the gradient smoother between the two sides of the wall of ground in the upper right ( kind of hard to describe ). The way it is now, it looks like something was broken out of the ground or so.
The way it is now, the tileset looks to me like.. any other foresty tileset except with some grainy textures added in.
With the grainyness comes some sort of natural feeling and the atmosphere of old movies and such. It has charme, but it lacks something...

I hope that helps any...

I know exactly what you mean, Faw, and I agree. The grass bugs me a bit for the same reason. As it is, it was mostly an exercise in colour conservation and drawing a tileset pixel by pixel (something I've never really done). The grass itself only uses three or four colours. Strangely, others have commented that they like it just fine.

I think there are actually some jpg artifacts in that picture. The actual tileset isn't much better, though.

[Neobeo]

Hm... I've probably mentioned that I'm not a big fan of levels and tilesets, and this is my second reply in this thread. It would also be the second level I am making that has nothing to do with the creation of server tools.

Neobeo's Artillery:
http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/8946/artilleryav1.png

This single-player level involves going round and round an artillery, but exploring it thoroughly. It is driven by none other than Jazz himself (he is inside so you cannot see him), and like all good soldiers, the level will be nothing but confusing puzzles. Like the firetruck which was inspired by Chip's Challenge, this artillery was inspired by Advance Wars.

NB: MS Paint FTW.

[Xobim]

Don't make the level too large, BTW. Your firetruck allready gave errors, and I think this tank is going to be even bigger...

[cooba]

Your firetruck allready gave errorsI wouldn't blame them on the size of the level, though.

[snzspeed]

Is the spring on the tree or the ground...yeah that's all I could think to ask of it.

Suprisingly, Firetruck works on my 1.23, but doesn't on my TSF. I get an error:

"Jazz 2 ran out of internal animation structures. There are most probably too much enemies in the current level.

Please solve this problem and restart JJ2."

Too much enemies, right...

[Violet CLM]

Everytime I see a Jungle screenshot, I want to post one of my own. :|

[FQuist]

That one looks great. Especially because of the gameplay.

PJ, I always think your screenshots look pretty, but they barely ever seem to show any of the gameplay elements. Not that they aren't there - I don't know. But from your screenshots your levels are empty.

[FireSworD]

Although I agree with FQ on this; I must add that few levelmakers manage to skillfully excersize all aspects of gameplay, eyecandy etc into their work. So instead of looking at it as a flaw, I'd look at it as an aspect to improve and add to your style.

[Xobim]

I get the same error sometimes. Maybe it has to do with that special JCS version Neobeo uses...

[White Rabbit]

Surely you don't need to tell people to jump into a hollow tree trunk when they're about to get sandwiched between two boulders? :D

Maybe you could make that text string appear in Easy difficulty only... :p

[Ragnarok!]

Everyone's making Mystic isle levels now. Did someone start a craze or something?

And by the way, Violet's level looks awesome ;o

[Stijn]

Well, Mystic Island is pretty awesome, altough I can't make nice eyecandy with the small amount of available tiles. But when used correctly I find it one of the best tilesetes out there :)

[Camou]

Most recent levels that are posted here are all kind of foresty/jungly themed, I think.

It's not entirely necessary maybe, but the urgency of the message adds to the fun, to me.

[Fawriel]

Besides, I think it's not the rocks that one has to jump to escape from, but the Devil underneath the trunk. I think being inside it wouldn't save you from them anyway because Jazz would still be hit by them....

[FQuist]

I am sure Violet knows what he has doing and has actually tested if it works. :p

[Fawriel]

...and I think you misunderstood what I said.

[Violet CLM]

For the record, there is no gameplay reason either the devil or the bats are there. They're just cool because they get triggered by your approach. The rocks are enough to brutally crush you on their own, and the tree trunk does indeed protect you from them. :P

I must say it looks pretty cool. Good job FS.

[FireSworD]

Good job on the hint I provided Xobim, but no, the dragon has no significance in the actual plot. The very basic part of the plot is a deus ex machina between the brothers Jazz and Spaz.

I understand your point Flash, but the text string is actually important. It's one of those things that makes sense when you experience the level itself.

I especially approve of the first screenshot. It reminds me of Seiken Densetsu 3. <3 ..and the lighting and overall design are nifty.
The other two seem a little strange in terms of design, in the second, that wall of destructive blocks appears kinda useless... how about making the outer row speed blocks so you'd have to be careful not to run into the devil? =o

[Fawriel]

Agony indeed.

But yeah, the eyecandy is the awesome.

[n00b]

Regardless of the eyecandy, Jazz is active entertainment. You could have the best eyecandy ever, but if that level is boring as Paul's looks to be gameplay wise, then I could care less that he's a master at placing pipe tiles together.

(PICS)

What tileset is that? Looks cool.

Marble Gardens tileset seems to be underused so I thought I'd make a level with it. The background moves. Layer 1 is used for the rain and also moves.
I haven't been able to do much JCS coz I have been busy with other stuff and had important work to do.

[Birdie]

Too much rain, I think you shouldn't even have rain..

[Saphir]

But for some reason, I want to play that level.

The rain is fine in the amount department.
Now this is too much rain:

That rain uses four layers, right?

[DarkSonic]

To FS' screenshot: Well, that looks wicked. Is it one of those very long levels? That background looks interesting as well. I hope the level has some original eye candy. That screenshot has original things already.

[Stijn]

Curves. You got me drooling.

[n00b]

Right.

And at FS, like I said on MSN that is one of the most interesting screenshots in this thread in a while.
Reminds me of Ratchet and Clank or a few segments in Yoshi's Island.

[Violet CLM]

The first interesting Diamondus Beta level! Rejoice!

[SPAZ18]

FS: That looks very interesting. Can't wait to see what it will be like.

xlmss04, I named it 'Torch Wood'.

[Stijn]

You should spend more attention to the platforms. They look kind of boring now. Consider adding a few slopes, or some layer 3 eyecandy. That spring inside the wall looks kind of awkward too.

Woah, Stjin, what did you do with the lighting?

And FS, looking awesome.

[Ragnarok!]

Don't you just hate FS and his cool looking levels? -sits in corner-
=(

[FireSworD]

lol

http://stijn.fuzic.nl/hd/krazy.png

Woah, I remember screenshots of this dating back to page 1.

If I had to guess, the lights somehow help the player see the objectives clearly. As the main
issue with assault levels is that they tend to be complex by nature, having their objectives easy
to understand so that the levels can be easily played even for first timers has never been
so easy to accomplish.


To DS: Hehe, if you only knew.

[Stijn]

Actually the light was just a funny side effect of something and I am not sure whether going to use it in the level yet, mainly since it has a tendency to crash the level or look messed up under certain circumstances, but wanted to share it anyway :P If I decide to use it it would be for the purpose you just described indeed.

And well, I am indeed still working on it :) With huge breaks inbetween though.

project name : pirates of the jackrabbit


Game type(s) : CTF/battle

Game modes: infultration, Shiprobbery , Assasination, All for one




explainings : at the beginning both teams decide who is captain, they will lead the ship toward victory or dead

Infultration(Assault): in pirate game: locate ship of oposing team , break in and when all triggerd rooms of ship are opent break in the captains room: then assasinate him

later Shiprobbery:take all cash from the captains room till 1000 coins and safely return it to ur teams ship when this goal is done we well go to : all for one the winning team faces off against each other last pirate alife wins the event




this gametpye has never been made , cause of difficulties with switching to battle mode etc, but i guess if some one wants to build this idea goodluck

[n00b]

Heh, reminds me of the old Cracco levels where you had to hunt down 6 gems or whatever

[Stijn]

Actually it's a battle level I made in 10 minutes with a tileset that had exactly 3 usable platform tiles not counting the water and the well.

Mixing up Purplejazz and Cooba is a common mistake.

[cooba]

Umm.. no, Legends is a CTF pack by PJ.

[Grytolle]

Maltana, GOS and Flixa are Legends

[FireSworD]

Wow, a prison level. About time someone attempts that in single player.

[Superjazz]

I'm currently using a "prison"-theme for single-player too. It's still a different prison with different atmosphere, than in (pic above).

[DarkSonic]

Is that the new Crysilis conversion? ;O
I hope that tileset will be as nice as that screenshot ;d

[PurpleJazz]

That reminds me of one of the levels from Sonic 2 ;D

[cooba]

Mystic Crystal Zone :O

EDIT: Yes, I am aware it was "Mystic Cave Zone" in Sonic 2.

[FreeFull]

When I created threat about tilesets Stijn has blocked it and said to use the 'other threat'. I think he meant this threat (there is no other threat that is about tilesets).

My tileset will be a special tileset to do amusement parks. I started making it because I couldn't find any tileset that is suitable for the level I will make (which won't be on j2o). I did already all floor tiles I think someone might want. I haven't got an name yet.

[.koopa!]

That is a good idea. Can you maybe show a screenshot?

[Stijn]

Maltana, GOS and Flixa are Legends
Maybe that is a level pack where you play as shaney

[cooba]

Maybe that is a level pack where you play as shaneyNot really, but that's a very close guess.

[ShadeJackrabbit]

*looks around confused for a few moments*

Oh... right. I remember now about legends....

Anyways, the Mystic Crystal Zone tileset looks good, but it's a bit... low quality? Parts look like the palette is messed up. Planning on fixing?

[DoubleGJ]

Maybe it's a PNG issue. I heard this format does some minor color reduction, too.

[Violet CLM]

It was taken in 8-bit color, so the transparency will be less perfect than you're probably used to... the other colors are all more or less acceptable, though I might tweak the brown. And it's all JJ1 graphics.

[Speeza]

my first ever post was my most sucssesful one ,back when i was nicer , cos i thought this was a 8 year old forum :P

but kwb has a secret project planned ..........

[Stijn]

Found this back, several years old. Perhaps I'll get around to finishing it.

That is probably the most METAL version of a jj2 tileset I have ever seen. And I don't mean metallic, I mean (THIS WORD CENSORED FOR YOUR CHILDREN) METAL

[Blackraptor]

i love that edit already

< death metal3

(you should consider adding stuff to it instead of just changing around textures though)

That level definitely looks cool. Shame it has tilebugs :/

[Fawriel]

Where have you been all my life!
I've always tried to make my tilesets look kind of like Rayman tilesets.. they're so beautiful..!
Hmm, on the other hand, the art of the tileset seems rather blurry compared to the sprites... but reducing its size by half might make it *too* small. ..and it would be quite the effort to redo it now anyway. But might be something to consider for future attempts!


Oh yeah, and the METAL!!! tileset is extremely beautiful, too. I was going to say this before, but I didn't want to post a post just to state it, but now I will:
Sooooooooo beautiful!

[Olsen]

Shame it has tilebugs :/

Wher ar tielbugs? :confused:

I like it.

[TripleJ]

Rayman 1 tileset. Looks nice.

[snzspeed]

there are stuff in that screenshot some people might consider as tilebugs

i for one dont consider them as tilebugs, though

[TripleJ]

My battle pack is allmost finished. There are three battle levels in same pack.

[DarkSonic]

It would be nice if you could get some testers for it, because you are a XLM member and shouldn't make 'average' or 'below average' levels. At the moment I'm working on a new Pitfall level, not sure if it will be for PJ's contest.

[FireSworD]

Beautiful pictures, TripleJ. Keep it up.

[PurpleJazz]

All those screens have really nice EC. (++ Gus Tileset ;D) They don't show much about the gameplay however, but that is hard to do.

[Birdie]

(As someone who has used the townhouse set alot)
I see tilebugs in the townhouse screenshot, the buildings which are probably on layer 5 can only be used surrounded by brick tiles (the same kind as the building in that screenshot) as they have bits of those brick tiles to the sides of them.

By the way does somebody know who has maden townhouse summer tileset?

Lark made the tileset conversion, I made the townhouse summer palette edit because I needed a summer version of the tileset.

[TripleJ]

What tileset is that?

[DoubleGJ]

Looks like a Megaman X conversion to me...

[Sacrush]

A very limited and bad conversion it is. I can hardly imagine someone making a decent level out of it.

[Yasco]

I'm currently making ... 4 levels! :D 2 of them are like 99,9% finished. Then I also have one which still needs more eyecandy and then last but not least : my almost-finished level for Rep's contest! (all of them are CTF) Eh....just to let you know.

[Birdie]

I've played in a level using the rayman set, and I would like to say that the set is awesome.

[SPAZ18]

I did have a Megaman level once, made for 1.23, but after I accidentally opened it in the TSF version of JCS it wouldn't work on 1.23. Go figure! :mad:
I spent about 1-2 weeks on this level.
Here's a screenshot I took months ago before I screwed it up:

http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/4755/mjpl9.jpg

This level was part of a 4 level pack called Mega Jackrabbit I was making about 6 months ago.

[TripleJ]

My battle pack is ready and i need testers.

[White Rabbit]

Here are screenshots of my battle level for Purplejazz's contest. It is loosely based on a Tomb Raider level, 'Temple of Karnak (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karnak)', and of course inspired by all the temple levels of Tomb Rabbit. If you're familiar with Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, you may notice the Great Hypostyle Halls (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Hypostyle_Hall%2C_Karnak) and the Sacred Lake I put into the level. It is not based on the real life Karnak temple complex.

Temple of Karnak is finished, but needs betatesting before I either upload it, or send it to Purplejazz.

[TripleJ]

That looks really nice White Rabbit. I can be a tester.

[White Rabbit]

I'm hosting a public betatest right now. Join if you feel like it.

EDIT: In case you want to join, the server is now down.

[Fawriel]

I suppose it's a battle level?
I never really played battles, but... I think that during such a fast-paced game, the layout of the level should be clearer. It's hard to make out quickly where you can go, what you can stand on and stuff like that...

[White Rabbit]

Some parts of the level plays a bit like a singleplayer level, but I hope people won't have any trouble, and it was intentional to that sort of feel to it, as both Tomb Raider and Tomb Rabbit were great single player adventures that I and many other people enjoyed. My betatesters didn't report any large navigational issues either.

I've also tried to be consistent in the masking of tiles, so if one type of tile is solid, then they all are, unlike sometimes in Tomb Rabbit (with the exception of the obelisk in the middle of the Sacred Lake). I wasn't as inventive in the tile usage as Kejero was, I'm afraid. :p
