Anniversary Bash IX

[DarkSonic]

Yes, it's year 9 already. Time certainly flies. Anyway..

Last year a thread about the Bash was made on 1 March, so I'm making a thread now as well. In this thread you can discuss about levels that should be in, and who might volunteer for the bash.

I know the Bash is in April, but it's better to be early then to be too late. Also, new Battle and CTF levels might still be uploaded(because people are making packs at the moment)

This time I'm sure we will have enough levels. Last year it was more difficult.

So.. discuss!

[snzspeed]

I volunteer for compiling the packs

i don't know what else to say.

[Superjazz]

I'll volunteer as a partner F0R SN00ZE if possible. <STRIKE>I couldn't manage to compile it alone, heh.</STRIKE>

I'd rather not suggest anyone before that person is willing to be a volunteer.

yeah, me and sj thought we would volunteer as a pair :P

EDIT: if its not possible, we enter as "single persons" and blabla

[n00b]

I'll volunteer to do another "unofficial" Single Player pack like I did last year if I ever get around to figuring out if people liked last year's premiere edition or not.

[Stijn]

Will this bash also cover friday?

[cooba]

I think it will, yes.

[Xplosive]

I think i will play jazz2 as it is the AB.

[Grytolle]

I am too lazy to read up to see if it's already suggested, but include all levels from rag's latest CTF pack because they rock. As a matter of fact, pretty much all CTF levels made by.. uh.. known level makers, with a few additions should be included. Ideal would be if I could play for say.. 5 hours an end without seeing the same level twice.

[PurpleJazz]

Picking levels for the CTF Pack wouldn't be very hard, since there were so many good ones. It would be harder to pick battle levels though, so I am making a battle level ATM for this.

[n00b]

Nay, the more alternatives there are, the harder the choice.
Unless we're just going to lump everything in some major playlist.

[cooba]

What if I volunteer as a compiler with SJ and Snz since I'm finnish?Too late, sorry.

[Lark]

personally i think someone should make a level dedicated to me
and it should be put in bash

just kidding

but seriously
i don't know what's up with all this new jj2 stuff.. i dont know what 1.23x or whatever is, nor do i know what carrotade is, or any of these mods that people are making and talking about, but i don't wanna see anniversery bash servers running all these crazy programs, i think people should enjoy the game how it was made with the exception of things like respawn, anti cheat stuff, anti laser crashing stuff, etc. of course.
also, let's see some levels that tend to be underplayed or underrated in there. i can't stand seeing battle1, distopia, diamondus warzone, security breach, etc. in there all the time, those levels get so boring.

well i gtg but yeah those are my opinions

<333

[DarkSonic]

A few comments:

Exit Sand Land was a scrapped level by OLsen I think.. unless it was updated. And Demon Rampart and Apocalyptic End are probably not finished. But they should be finished before the Bash. Other than that, nice lists. I don't have a feeling that levels are missing or something like that.

[Lark]

how come none of my levels are in the bash?
i'm pretty bummed about it
no lie
i remmeber one year i had like three levels in it and like four or five levels used my tilesets
jeez
those were the days
now i get no respect

ps
cooba
that seems pretty useful actually
carrotade seems ok but i wouldnt trust it
blurredd is a shady character
jk jk
i <3 you blurredd
i'm still in your clan =]

[Grytolle]

hahaha^_^

[Camou]

17. BlueLight Battleship by Camou

Oh god, that sucks so much, it's just unplayable... Thanks for giving me a reason to finish Shocksheep now.

but thanks for the mention ;D

[DarkSonic]

Well, it looked like that level was dead. But it seems it isn't ;d

Anyway, if you want I could try to make something better than Secret Base: ID 20516. I have a layout planned and a tileset to use so I can make a level if I want.

[Birdie]

These aren't the final lists, so go ahead.

[Stijn]

Hi I made a level especially for the bash

you can get it here: http://stijn.fuzic.nl/hd/tfBash.zip

[Sacrush]

Hi I made a level especially for the bash

Make a Nintendo version and it might get added in the Bash.

[Stijn]

:D

edit: actually, why not. http://stijn.fuzic.nl/hd/tfBash2.zip

[Jerrythabest]

Will there be a GF server?:rolleyes: Then I volunteer to host it.

[Erik]

no <lol>

[Grytolle]

nothing stops you from hosting a GF server during the bash

[Sacrush]

:D

edit: actually, why not. http://stijn.fuzic.nl/hd/tfBash2.zip

Awesome! :-)

[cooba]

Will there be a GF server?Yes.

Stijn, please tell me you're kidding.

[Stijn]

Of course not :confused:

[cooba]

Well, I don't know how is it supposed to fit into the bash pack..

[Stijn]

It's a battle level

[cooba]

With stupid eyecandy and annoying gameplay

[Stijn]

Well I asked some jj2 players and they said it has great eyecandy and good gameplay

[n00b]

The bash isn't a competition, I say it's perfectly fine to throw in a bad level for the different form of entertainment a purposely bad level brings.

I mean, it's the bash. It's not like winning rounds matter or anything.

[DarkSonic]

In the first Bashes Bobo Meets Royalty and such levels were in it, but now that we have more levels I see no reason to put one of those levels in. If those levels could get in then you could put levels like F0R SN00ZE, The Shoot Hit and Best CTF Party Good Luck in as well. And we're not doing that.

[Stijn]

Look, Bobo Meets Royalty was not put in because it was considered a good level or because there was a lack of alternatives, but because it was so bad which was one of the reasons that it was great to play a round in it. And personally I'd love to see such a level in this year's pack too. Not saying that my level is worthy to be in it, but we shouldn't neglect the classic fun levels such as Cold Day Battle or Bobo or a newer level either.

[FireSworD]

If those levels could get in then you could put levels like F0R SN00ZE, The Shoot Hit and Best CTF Party Good Luck in as well.

That can be arranged.

[n00b]

In the first Bashes Bobo Meets Royalty and such levels were in it, but now that we have more levels I see no reason to put one of those levels in.

And since the Bash is just meant for fun, and it's fun to play a bad level on occasion, I see no reason to NOT put one of those levels in.

[Jerrythabest]

Yes.Okay then =D When's the bash... ;p

[DarkSonic]

Well, I think that playing good levels is better than playing bad levels. If you so want to play bad levels, then host a server with bad levels. The Bash arrangers know what they're doing.

[n00b]

1-2 bad levels in bash lineup =/= whole server of bad levels

[Stijn]

The Bash arrangers know what they're doing.

As opposed to the arrangers of Bash 1-7?

[DarkSonic]

Not really, because the old Bashes focused more on old levels and some good new ones. But in AB8 there were more new levels, and in this Bash there are more new levels as well. Only a few classics, which is good enough for me. So if you're going to put other levels than new ones, put some classics in instead of 'bad' levels.

[Stijn]

We shouldn't neglect our past.

I'm happy to see Hells Angels in, but apart from that, what levels do you mean with "classics"?

[DarkSonic]

Well, Battle levels like Rockingham Gardens, silent slayers and such. And for the CTF levels I mean the levels that are still played a lot like Semi, but also old ones like Crimson Diamond and JAIL.

Did the list get updated in the meanwhile? I was talking about Battle btw, not CTF, didn't take a look at that list.

Edit: @ FireSword's post below: My thoughts exactly.

[FireSworD]

I will try to avoid defining theese as 'bad' levels. Simply they are levels that are fun despite the fact they have to break certain standards to obtain that sort of 'fun'. Not to say quality levels aren't fun, theese are levels that are fun for a different sort of reason.

I'm all for it since the anniversary bash is supposed to be all about community members getting together, reminising, having fun etc. Not so much about elitism.

[cooba]

1-2 bad levels in bash lineup =/= whole server of bad levelsDon't forget that level randomization can get screwy sometimes. I remember that Lost World Battle got hosted like every third level in bash7, which wasn't really the most fun experience.

[n00b]

Sorry, I just tend to assume glitches will be fixed in a two year time span

[Jerrythabest]

Two years.. right.

I'll just 'do' something tomorrow and come up with a list of possible GF levels ;p :p

[cooba]

I'll just 'do' something tomorrow and come up with a list of possible GF levels ;p :pI haven't said you would be the one hosting the levels.

[Grytolle]

Best CTF Party Good Luck should be in! It has original and fast paced gameplay

[DarkSonic]

I prefer IC's Best CTF Party Good Luck. It has the same layout but it has EC and a better tileset!

Also, Quickz has just uploaded his new CTF level and I think it's better than Hydronificant!

[n00b]

I prefer IC's Best CTF Party Good Luck. It has the same layout but it has EC and a better tileset!

Which is why it sucks. Best CTF Party Good luck 1 with EC? Hahaha, no. Thats like Jazz 1 without the speed, guns, or green rabbit. And quite personally, the tileset choice sucks. It's like someone in IC said "OMG This one is blue toooo!!! IT IZ THE SAMMME!!!"


Now, Best CTF Party Good Luck 2 is a different story. It's got eyecandy, new music, AND A NEW GAMEPLAY TWIST THAT MAKES IT EVEN MORE FASTPACED!!

[Jerrythabest]

I haven't said you would be the one hosting the levels.nothing stops you from hosting a GF server during the bash
You can't stop me from hosting a GF server during the bash anyway :rolleyes: :p :lol:


And it was my idea/request to make a GF server :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[cooba]

And it was my idea/request to make a GF server :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:I posted the idea of a GF server in the bash forums about two weeks before you did :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[snzspeed]

so what are the final lists?

[Camou]

When is the bash?

[cooba]

April 6th-9th

[DarkSonic]

Well, I don't know about the final lists but I think that there have been some changes. The ones who make the Bash know best though. I'm almost sure I won't make a Battle level anymore, because I'm too busy with other things this week(like school) Anyway, I suggest Abandoned Sidewalks instead of Hydronificant! because it's better in my opinion(and I think there are more people who think it)

[n00b]

The ones who make the Bash know best though.

APRIL FO0LS

[Talec]

-APPEARS-

I... totally don't know what levels y'all are talking about, I'm just here for the <s>free food</s> gaming :D

[FireSworD]

Beqause if ill post my battlepack in May/June and it is nice, can it be in the list of 2008 then?

[Birdie]

[cooba]

[snzspeed]

[cooba]

Don't play a smart(-) with timezones :)

[n00b]

Leaked list from a source that wishes to be mysterious.

Battle-

Battle2
Battle1a
Battle3
Battle4

CTF-
There will be no CTF.

Any word against it? Bad luck. THE BASH ORGANIZERS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING EVEN IF WE DON'T. ALWAYS. THEY COULD KILL YOUR MOM AND IT'D BE OK

Lol, ''XLM Woods - Far East ~ Dx''

[Sasik]

What about including also music for the levels?

[Stijn]

It's being worked on, don't worry.

[Alister]

I have ISSUES.

1. ab9btl17.j2l causes an access violation
2. ab9ctf07.j2l causes an access violation
3. The tileset is missing for ab9ctf09.j2l
4. Most importantly of all, not a single level uses one of my tilesets :(

[Stijn]

The missing set is Cheq3 according to FireSword. I got an access violation on that ctf level by paul with odyssey and some doomish name too.

[FireSworD]

Nah, Cheq 3 was provided in the level's pack. I just checked.

I feel like commenting...hmm let's see...

I think this year is a bit disappointing, and things were rushed and lazily done.
Where's dethroned, The Chasm and Superconductor?


Battle Levels

1. Secret Base: ID 20516 ~ DarkSonic - This looks a lot like sanctuary.

2. Forest Awakening ~ Cooba - This one has an interesting background in my opinion.

3. The Temple of SUFFERING ~ P4ul - Seems like a newer version has been
released, but all I notice is a music change.

4. The Highlands ~ OLsen - Kinda abstract with the background, and an interesting music choice.

5. First Boredom ~ DarkSonic - Transparent blocks?

6. The Dismal Palace ~ Cooba - I think this level is a bit underappreciated. It has this dark, yet smooth
atmosphere. The layout encourages seeker spamming though.

7. Action Attic ~ BlurredD - Really liking the subtle atmosphere. The level lacks a definite theme though.

8. Hell's Angels ~ martin - No disrespect to martin's levels, but if classic levels are added, they
should be well known levels, otherwise there's no point in adding them as a classic. I've only seen this
level hosted about 1 or 2 times ever since I started playing jj2 online.

9. A Victorian Urban ~ Birdie - It's SUMMER! - I love calmness of this level, but it's a bit
lacking looks-wise in my opinion.

10. Romantic Landscapes ~ Snooze - Interesting theme, but it's a bit too busy for my tastes.

11. XLM Woods - Far East ~ Dx - The Heck?

12. Eastern Swampside ~ P4ul - A decent battle level....Let's see what else is there...

13. Ice Temple Ruins ~ Odin - I tested this level...It's fairly decent.

14. Unusual Pac Man ~ FireSworD - Stijn wanted 'fun' levels, so I just made something in a few
minutes.

15. PsychosiS ~ P4ul - I was expecting this to be one of those really big levels, but it turned out to be
quite the opposite, it's like a duel level.

16. Anarchy ~ BlurredD - A quite old level. I finally get to hear the music, which, in my opinion, is way
too heavy for this sort of level.

17. Fields of Gold ~ Quickz - It's a heaven level with haunted.it as the
music choice, and it somehow works out.

18. Sub-Terrestrial ~ Purplejazz - I love this level. Keep it up. Lovin' the music choice too.

19. An Uninspired Psych Level ~ Cooba - Seeker Spamming is king game-play here, and I hate how open
the layout is. I like the eye-candy though.

20. Apocalyptic END ~ BlurredD - Sometimes Blur will make something which seems to take
inhuman skill to accomplish. This level does seem inhuman, in the way a random level generator would
make it. It's pretty formulaic, because the floors have designated types of tile(s) and the eye-candy is the
same concept everywhere, and the layout as well. That aside, I really like the theme, realized greatly by
the music, and it would seem fun to go around casually pwning with fly carrots. However, I was a
bit underwhelmed here.


CTF levels

1. Helldome ~ EvilMike - A near perfect level in my opinion. It has a layout you can't
really complain about.

2. Fluid Surface Oscillator ~ Birdie - The music choice is sort of a stretch for this
theme in my opinion, but this an interesting and unique level.

3. Radiation ~ Snooze - Haha, cool. Snooze used the standard tile-set usage, and it
doesn't feel dead like most other levels using it in my opinion.

4. Perception ~ DarkSonic - Great tile-set, and the level-making here really
accentuates the look of it.

5. Personal Park ~ Sacrush - I already commented on this before.

6. Ice Cream Island ~ Birdie - This sort of base placement is interesting. I never really got a
chance to try this level competitively. The theme is smooth.

7. Tainted Heaven ~ Snooze - FLOATUPS! Oh, and the level seems like it should get plenty
of attention in the future. After all, Bashes help newer levels get noticed.

8. Fright Night CTF ~ martin - A classic, good choice.

9. Retribution ~ Wallace - I don't know if I like how close the bases are compared to the
rest of the layout.

10. Demon Rampart ~ P4ul - This level surprised me. He made the level have organic features, considering levels made with this set tend to
be quite the opposite. It's an accomplishment really.

11. Chlorophyll World ~ Enigma - An Enigmatic layout, but lacking a bit looks-wise in my opinion.

12. Very Stupid Floating Castle ~ Ragnarok - This level is like QQ in so many aspects, and the
layout takes some getting used to. The bottom area is interesting.

13. Significant ~ DarkSonic - Liking the music choice and bright atmosphere.

14. Toxin Twister ~ Cooba - Meh, I liked Middle drainer better atmosphere wise. The level has a
unique layout, and there are some interesting tactics here. Although I've noticed games become a real mess when lots of people are involved.

15. Abandoned Sidewalks ~ Quickz - I never got a chance to play a serious game here, so I wouldn't
know what to say about it, except there is one interesting game-play aspect added by the use of one-ways.

16. Atom Heart 243.5 ~ SuperJazz - Already made my thoughts clear on this one.

17. Cloud Connected ~ OLsen - Enough with this music already :P Anyway the level is quite...Pink

18. icsurreal ~ Cooba - What?

19. Nitrosity Alternate Palette ~ Violet CLM - I have no idea what that title means, but
once I saw the level seemed to be synchronized with the music choice, I knew it was a Violet level.

20. The Death Facility III ~ P4ul - AGONY! Oh man, I love this level. Once again P4ul makes
a seemingly organic looking level out of a set not meant for that purpose, and this level looks quite
surprising in that aspect. This level looks like a lot of fun, as long as the chaotic look
doesn't translate into the gameplay as well. ;)

[Monolith]

On the J2O front page it says Anniversary Bash 9 -- April 6th, 17.00 CET. What time zone is CET? I'd appreciate knowing what time it is in UTC.

I didn't get too enthusiastic about the rest of the levels. Oh well, the Bash will probably be fun anyway.

Stick to the Universal time zone.

Heck im suppose to be hosting it, and I dont even know what CET is and what time you want me to start it in GMT/UTC.

[Stijn]

<span title="Google and Wikipedia are your friend">CET = Central European Time = GMT+1</span>

[Stijn]

Eh, I was testing my screen capturing setup in the Bash Test server earlier and when trying to follow another player I accidentally chose "Chat as other player". Now I get kicked off everytime I rejoin. Any chance this can be reverted?

[White Rabbit]

61 players online! :D
Too bad they can't all be in the same server.

[Jerrythabest]

heh oh well. 10 years is a much nicer age of JJ2 to have GF in the bash the first tome ;p

*joins the Battle bash server*

EDIT: wth? it's pinging?

[Bobby aka Dizzy]

So I don't know why everyone is using strange time zones but I put in some images into there to tell people when things start. Please feel free to edit the images to fix any time mistakes I may have made. Note that the input time to the image is in GMT!

And if anyone wants to make my images formatted a little prettier go ahead -- I have to run and don't have time to format it to follow styles.

[Ðx]

11. XLM Woods - Far East ~ Dx - The Heck?

Explain please xD.

And why is that level in the Bash :O? xD

[DarkSonic]

Not anymore. It was replaced with The Chasm, which was almost forgotten.

[Mercurio]

Soooooooooooooooo... what programs do I need to play all these fancy new unofficial gamemodes?

[CrimiClown]

... and of course my router refuses to co-operate DURING the Bash...

[Stijn]

Soooooooooooooooo... what programs do I need to play all these fancy new unofficial gamemodes?
None, it's all handled by the server.

[White Rabbit]

I can still win games! It's not all bad... :(

[Mercurio]

None, it's all handled by the server. Yeah but there was like this teamgame and I had no idea who were my teammates. =/

[FQuist]

I don't think there have been any teamgames yet. In roast tag you do not have team mates. I don't think there has been any team battle but I might be wrong.

[cooba]

There hasn't been any teambattle, indeed.

[CrimiClown]

If I might ask here, what's the purpose of the Bottom Feeder?

Oh, and I fixed my router for now, as you might have seen tonight. I can still win, it seems.

[cooba]

The bottom feeder is there so that you can get points without having to kill the "it". For every roast the bottom feeder makes, they get one point.

[Mercurio]

I don't think there have been any teamgames yet. In roast tag you do not have team mates. I don't think there has been any team battle but I might be wrong. Aaaaaah that would explain. At one point the server thing said Friendly Fire is now OFF or something and I though I'd been shooting me teammates. :)

Thanks

This is not for the contest, it's not good enough for that ;p

[CrimiClown]

Right, that clears a lot up. But, sorry to be a bother, how does one become the bottom feeder?

[blurredd]

By having the fewest roasts and most deaths. Typically, the first bottom feeder is the first player that gets roasted.

[Stijn]

BlurredD could you please make stripping the names of all colors optional in the next release :(

contest?

[Speeza]

hey fellow RR parter , that looks great.

[cooba]

Note: I swapped CTF levels #18 and #19 to avoid Divide by Zero error coming up as Death Facility III (#20) loads.

Apply <a href="http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/downloads/download.php?levelID=4667">this fix</a> if you have already downloaded the level pack.

[Jerrythabest]

can such errors be caused by the previous level? :o

EDIT: pageclaim in the name of JJ2's bugs :p

[Nielsje]

Excellent Bash this year, keep on bashing! :massiv:

Too bad my internet connection was down for the whole Sunday and most of Saturday. :(

Well, I tried to show up a few times, but my router still continues to thwart me. Still, happy anniversary, JJ2.

My turn (slightly overdue since I've been occupied but!):

The entire arena is being swiftly demolished, yet the bash administrators still find time for tea and small talk.

Hardly anyone survived the lasers the last time around in the regular version ;(.

It was a very nice bash. :_D

WAS? Oh (-)! Now I have to wait another year!
