<hr>

Less than a month to go until it's the grand 10th anniversary of the Jazz2 shareware release... amongst other things level packs need to be assembled, so start suggesting levels and game modes and rad freestyle actions and whatnot!

Of course the focus will probably be Battle and CTF again, but there's always place for some Race, Assault, Well Tournament or whatnot.

Please link to levels if possible, so it's easy for other people to see which one you mean if they don't know it yet.

I volunteered for compiling the packs, and so did PurpleJazz; we together will probably compile the packs in the end.

Start:
Botanizer (CTF)

By the way, it's lame to suggest your own levels or unreleased stuff.

[snzspeed]

Echo Isles (CTF)
Earth (CTF)
Botanizer (CTF)
Warden Woods (Battle)

[cooba]

there's always place for some Race, Assault, Well Tournament or whatnotBefore everyone starts rushing Race/Assault/Tourney levels: Nothing gamemode related is currently set in stone.

[Ragnarok!]

.... RACE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I'm so gonna actually work faster now.

And also, both my CTF levels. D:

[PurpleJazz]

Sunken Realm (http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/downloads/info.php?levelID=5003) (CTF)
Foreign Country (http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/downloads/info.php?levelID=4688) (Battle)
The Warden Woods (http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/downloads/info.php?levelID=4777) (Battle)
Sandstone Ruins (http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/downloads/info.php?levelID=4724) (Battle)

I'd also like to help compile the packs, if you don't mind.

[DarkSonic]

Not counting the upcoming packs yet, and I'm only suggesting 'new' stuff.

Flag Run:

Possible levels: Action Basement v2, The Crosscut, Halls of Judgment

Battle:

Panic!!, The Warden Woods, Intercity Grudge Match(if it gets finished?) Central Shaft, The Frozen Throne

CTF:

Botanizer, Undulation/Cross Circuit, Earth, Center of the Universe, Evening Shades, Sunken Realm

Upcoming packs like Impressions E and New Ages III have some Bash-material as well. Hopefully they'll be released before the Bash(I'm almost certain that they will)

Levels from New Ages III: Echo Isle, Siberia, Land of Kaamos, Northscar Needle

Levels from Impressions E: Scrap Brain, Mixxed Up, Colourful Compact

Those are just suggestions, but I'm pretty sure some of these are good for the Bash.

[Unhit]

Echo Isles (CTF)

name stolen from wc3 =(

[snzspeed]

name stolen from wc3 =(

I know but i really like that name ;x

[Birdie]

Birdie always wins.

[n00b]

Best CTF Party Good Luck (CTF)

[Valco]

I might be able to finish my race pack 'Grace' in time, and you could steal a few levels from it if you like their quality. So far all reactions are positive from the 'upload previews' thread.

[Unhit]

I know but i really like that name ;x

y i also have many lvl ideas named after wc3 maps but so far i never finished any of these :x

also: Nightfall in Noobland (http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/downloads/info.php?levelID=4969) (CTF)

[master sven]

Evils Den (http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/downloads/info.php?levelID=5015) (CTF)

Substracted Space (http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/downloads/info.php?levelID=4793) (CTF)

[Stijn]

@most: Would be nice if you suggested something else than your own levels.

[Vegito]

I was just about to say that :D.
However 1 of Rags CTF levels is really good o.O I forgot the name.
...Adding 1 fun level like Nightfall in noobland or Best CTF party good luck would be fun too.

[SPAZ18]

[Unhit]

@most: Would be nice if you suggested something else than your own levels.

OK but that decreases the chance that they are suggested :S

[Ragnarok!]

Im a hacker on Rag's account. Rag's levels please. (jk)

Well uhh, shouldn't the bash be a surprise for when it's ready? D:

[DarkSonic]

<s>That's too bad because some of my levels are good enough for the Bash</s>

Anyway, the upcoming levelpacks will be released this week or next week.

[Raven aka StL]

1uplake
1upgrc
"Dreaming..." from New Ages II
"!Sandbox" or (xlmss06) from Subtracted Space
and "Unconventional Coffee", of course.

[Ragnarok!]

Out of curiosity, I hope you have something big planned.. It's a 10th anniversary after all.

[DoubleGJ]

sorta maybe

[Superjazz]

Now if ever it's time to radically increase the size of the packs for both game types, since it's the 10th anniversary. It would be great if we put more classics and the very outstanding levels from previous bashes. Imo a good quantity would be as much in percent, as was used for AB7, that was considered too much back then. As well, I support the idea of creating packs for more gametypes.

Here are some suggestions that probably weren't nominated yet.

Sector Probe 68-A (Wraith)

[DarkSonic]

Okay, I nominate After Dark, Desolate Chemistry and microcrack //

http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/downloads/info.php?levelID=5025

[Valco]

i liek haxed valcos account and i think his lvls totally rool! u shud put em in bash.

That didn't fool you, did it.

[Ragnarok!]

Fooled me, hey wait, didn't I try that trick? D:.

[Valco]

So you did. Race level makers think alike! :D

[Black Ninja]

Hey, I might actually be able to be around this year. Sweet!

[cooba]

BN you have no excuse to not release Wind Meister 4 and 5 for the Bash.

:(

[Vegito]

Yes plz.

[R3ptile]

[18:34] <@JohanCC> i dont give a damn about the bashes
[18:34] <@JohanCC> they always suck:P

can't differ.

Botanizer? it's so sad to see this small generic level getting mentioned at least thrice in this thread, there were at least 10X better levels last year, i made a decent list, it's sad to see it getting ignored..

[Stijn]

Then what are you doing in this thread? :rolleyes:

[R3ptile]

levels like Botanizer aren't good enough to get into the 10th anniversary pack. just sayin'.

[cooba]

Know what would be good for the 10th bash? People actually <em>playing</em> like they used to in the older years, rather than sitting in the server and chatting about everything and nothing.

Whoever is putting the level rotation this year should definitely keep this in mind. Some of the suggestions here are not more than average, gameplay wise.

[snzspeed]

Botanizer? it's so sad to see this small generic level getting mentioned at least thrice in this thread, there were at least 10X better levels last year, i made a decent list, it's sad to see it getting ignored..

Where is this list?

[R3ptile]

and you consider yourself a level maker?

http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/showthread.php?p=421673#post421673

[Newspaz]

I would like to vote for Bobo meets royalty and 24 hour coffee. They are in the bash 3 battle pack. True classics ;)

[R3ptile]

That's too bad then. That level was number 14 in your Top 20 CTF levels of 2007. I'm sure you are one of the few people that thinks like that.
yeah well it wasn't a bad level or anything, just nothing special..

it was just silly that out of ALL CTF LEVELS EVER Stijn mentioned that one. only last year alone there were 13 better levels.

[R3ptile]

I volunteered for compiling the packs, and so did PurpleJazz; we together will probably compile the packs in the end.
what a (-)ing joke , you can't decide this just like that because you're an admin in the jj2 community forum. i don't want the guy who proclaimed that Gus is the best level maker, and that there weren't any good CTF levels last year, and who namedrops Botanizer out of all levels in the world to organize the arguably most important pack in JJ2's history.

[FireSworD]

It would be nice if a few reknowned level designers would make some levels for the bash, just for a little mystery and anticipation.

[snzspeed]

and you consider yourself a level maker?

http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/showthread.php?p=421673#post421673

oh it was that. sorry for not remembering.

[R3ptile]

oh it was that. sorry for not remembering.
lawlz d00d.

i just don't want some people to come here and start making up bull(-) about "oldies" like every year, we really but really don't give a (-) about balding 35 year olds who used to play this game thousand of years ago and sucked at it. like we don't go to #jj2 and talk about the results of our latest 2v2 invitational tournament, you don't come here and force us to turn our annual celebration to some nostalgic meeting. keep your own nostalgia to yourselves, people. seriously.

[Newspaz]

Well, on one hand I agree with you. But on the other, Stijn did mention last year that he would be up for doing it this year. And because he's the one who came up with the plan to get going. I think we should just let him go along.

Maybe it would be better if someone actually arranged this next year.

[R3ptile]

i think we should not. i am sick of people who pop up out of nowhere when the AB comes close and make decisions for everyone else.

and haha yeah, that's what you said last year. it's time for this to change for once and ever!

[Grytolle]

I can't stay away anymore. Let's play Cracco Baloons the entire bash.

[sonicnathan 1]

Alright! This time I'm going to join!

[R3ptile]

also this year it's time to move on from Nimrod and let someone else host the event.

[Vegito]

Well, I'm more for playing levels people actually like in general than about playing levels which are just .. levels.
Bash went from 75% fun gaming and 25% eyecandy/"good levels," to 90% eyecandy/good levels/level makers discussions about what they think the best levels are and 10% fun gaming. I seriously think you should rather think of the people who actually PLAY in the bash instead of the level makers all caring about their own levels to make it into the damn bash.
Thats not what bash was meant for in the first place.

Anyways, thats just my opinion about it.

Also I don't mean you have to play BBlair and such. Maybe levels which everyone used to play though, I think R3ptile's list had some good examples in it. Coffee for example is a great level for such an event. Fun to play in with more people.

[Ragnarok!]

In which case, you said you hated Coffee to me, though you might just be stating some newly found passion or due to someone else's influence, and also I agree about the Bash being a Celebration and not a JCS competition. Some are just blowing this out of proportion.

[Vegito]

Well, I don't like the level myself however I noticed people enjoyed it a lot in the JDC when we played there. It is just a good level to play in with more people, also its gameplay is good.

[Ragnarok!]

Heh, that explains it I guess.

[FQuist]

R3ptile, it's fine if you make suggestions or even voice opinions, but if you don't stop flaming then you will soon be gone from this topic. I am not keeping you from voicing any of the opinions you have, but the tone needs to change. If you have problems with that decision take them to PM. I will not tolerate such discussion here.

Now for non-admin mode:

It's obvious every bash that old people who generally don't play (that often) show up. That's the whole fun in bash: for once there are more than just 6 people online, and all the inactive people play again for a few days. If it's just the same people that you play in 4vs4s you could just as well organize those. If you just like the fact a level pack is assembled - that's something that can be done every day of the year.

Bash packs have also always been a mixture of recent levels and some old levels. This is for a reason. You don't just celebrate the past year, but you celebrate all years. It's been obvious that quality of levelmaking has increased over the years, and that lots of people don't like having too much old levels in bash, both for quality reasons and that you get tired of old levels. In some recent bashes, once 24 Hour Coffee started being played, the server emptied up. It's good to find a balance between new levels and old (really good or underplayed) levels. I'd propose something like 75% new 25% old or 80%-20%.

It's just simple fact the target audience is <b>all</b> jazzers, and you should make sure yo try and cater to all of them. Just ignoring them or telling them to go away and die doesn't make the event better.

As for hosting, start yelling about not wanting one of the usual solutions if you can actually provide one yourself. Propose a way that a hosting arrangement can be made that involves reliability. A bash can't depend on one host/admin, it needs multiple for when the server dies. This involves VNC or sharing of duties. If you can't set up a reliable arrangement that involves this, there's no reason to propose hosting.

<small>PS: I don't think 24 Hour Coffee is a bad level. It's actually fun. It's just that it's been in so much bashes everybody knows it and has played it too much</small>

[R3ptile]

sorry frank, but as much as i respect you as a person i just hate your post and think it doesn't make any sense.

[Anubis]

We want r3p!

[Ragnarok!]

Someone's blowing thing's out of proportion.

[R3ptile]

also, don't get me wrong, i don't care if old people join the event (i myself am not really new anymore), it's just that every year there are these people who come to this thread and piss everyone off.

i don't have much time now but i'll come up with a more organized post later.

[Vegito]

Oh, Frank, I was talking about: http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/downloads/info.php?levelID=4689

And I was talking about about that there should be a mix between old and new levels. Not 80% new so only the level makers now get their fun and it becomes JCS politics about who made the best levels last year. :|
By that I mean "best", as what most JCSers find "best" isn't what most players actually find "best" :]

[Raven aka StL]

Just make sure to, no matter what, include something for everyone in the bash.
Perhaps extend the bash because it's the 10th, or sth?

[R3ptile]

so anyways i'm gonna compile an Anniversary Bash 10 pack and get somebody to host it for a while.

[Unhit]

Can anyone show me screenshots of 24 hour coffee? 8(

[Ragnarok!]

Woah, he predicted it right.

[R3ptile]

rag, if you don't like it you can go ahead and complain, but i'm not sure whether i'd listen...

[R3ptile]

(my posts were not personal attacks or anything, but anyways) I'm with Veg here, it's all about politics between JCS'ers nowadays.

[FQuist]

My warning still stands. Please start heeding it.

[n00b]

it's just that every year there are these people who come to this thread and piss everyone off.

You're the only who seems to be pissed off, r3p.

[Ragnarok!]

I agree. No PA this time.

[R3ptile]

Stijn did mention last year that he would be up for doing it this year.
So did I.

[snzspeed]

This is one of the biggest things in jj2's history and yet everyone keeps flaming each other :/

also if multiple people volunteer for compiling, cant they just do it together instead of arguing?

[FireSworD]

How about...we see stijn's/pj's list and we decide if we like it?

[FQuist]

First constructive suggestion so far.

[R3ptile]

ok you know what, i give up.
let Stijn organize the pack and Nimrod host..
just don't come to me and whine afterwards like always

[FQuist]

Why isn't there a middle way? I'm sure pack / levellist suggestions are welcomed by everyone, and that they would be considered in the assembly of the pack, or if they are superior even be taken over entirely. There is middle ground between "I don't want to help at all" and "I want to do everything, and do it my way".

Same with hosting. If there are constructive suggestions about who hosts I'm sure they're taken seriously.

[FireSworD]

i got an evil suggestion

let's have r3p and stijn/pj make a list and the community will chose from them

[R3ptile]

no thanks.

[Ragnarok!]

Ok I'm sorry FQ, I'll stop.

[Stijn]

Geez r3p, calm down a little. I had a notice that I was still looking for someone to help me with compiling in my opening post from the start; if you'd have responded to that I would have gladly accepted your help.

Anyway, obviously we want to involve the community. PJ and I will probably post our list somewhere this weekend; any feedback given will certainly be used to make it as much to everyone's liking as possible.

[R3ptile]

I had a notice that I was still looking for someone to help me with compiling in my opening post from the start; if you'd have responded to that I would have gladly accepted your help.
yeah right, no matter how much i want it i just keep getting rejected by the j2o staff every year. i don't even have an access to the AB forum.

..and honestly, i'd make an excellent pack alone. i wouldn't really need help, i've done these stuff thousand of times. actually it'd only take me a few minutes to finish compiling it. yeah, you can say i'm the king of level packs.

[Stijn]

not to mention that honestly, i can't see anybody making a better pack than i would.
I guess that's where our opinions differ then. In my opinion community involvement in things done for the community, especially for such a "special" anniversary, is very important.

[FireSworD]

Enough!

Let's see the lists!

[R3ptile]

I guess that's where our opinions differ then. In my opinion community involvement in things done for the community, especially for such a "special" anniversary, is very important.
yeah right. in the end everybody would come to me and complain and say i should've organized it and blablalbla... same (-) every year

i'm never ever going to offer to help this community again.
you guys have never appreciated me.
in other communities i would've been an admin a long time ago already.

yeah i AM pissed off. and this was my final post here.
have fun with your anniversaries and whatnot

[Ragnarok!]

Not that this contributes, but I think Stijn is entitled to take his time... ;p

[Unhit]

Slightly off-topic, but the "admin" status isn't like something like "Sir" which honorary members get. You can be a honoured and revered member of the community without being admin.
So please calm down on this issue and cooperate :(

[R3ptile]

(WA) that i'm still here after all these years despite eating so much (-) from everyone and volunteer to organize the 10th AB event of this game for YOU and i'm here to change things as all events since the one I had organized were crappy and all you do is PA me for that.. but whatever.

[Wide attack removal - FQuist]

[Ragnarok!]

Ok r3p. Maybe everyone does owe you some attention, JJ2WC and all that, maybe you contribute a lot, but have you ever considered why some people dont appear to appreciate you? I certainly dislike you because of how you treat me, ignore the review, everything else builds up though.

[R3ptile]

i treat you like everyone else, but apperently every once in a while you keep whining about something that happened 3 years ago. why can't you just be cool like your brother? :p

[Ragnarok!]

So don't you think that makes everyone be treated like gunk if you treat me the same as the rest? Secondly, I'm not the same person, and I always try to be different from him. ;\

Pardon me for being offtopic.

[DoubleGJ]

a bit offtopic too but I still can't navigate 24 Hour Coffee

I never play this level anywhere outside the bashes so I keep forgetting the layout

[n00b]

and all you do is PA me for that

Its actually because of your outrageously bad attitude and overall surly demeanor, but whatever.

Haha, gee I wonder why

[EvilMike]

CTF:
big list
Something I'd like to suggest. It's good to have newer, popular levels in the mix, but year 10 is a pretty big deal. I think it would be good to have at least one notable level from every year, from 1998 to 2008. It might also be fun to order them by year, so that players can see the progression.

[Unhit]

It might also be fun to order them by year, so that players can see the progression.

That's a great idea, imo, however I'm afraid it'd only work if people remain in the server for a long time or join at the right time (in order to get the full "effect"). But since it shouldn't do any bad to order the levels chronoligally and it has this possible benefit, i highly second this suggestion. Maybe you could even add years to the level's textstrings (like level mady by blah) to the levels which don't have any thus far, that'd be cool.

GENIUS O+

[FireSworD]

I'm averse against it. Since bashes give newer levels more exposure and potential to become popular.

If people don't want to do exactly this, how about we add a text string to a corner of each level with a short description of what makes it noteworthy/when it was made/etc?

[blurredd]

That idea of course assumes players read text strings. Might as well make a node on J2O or something else that does what you described.

[Newspaz]

What if we just make an entry on the J2O wiki and let everyone add all levels they like. Then in the end we can filter them by J2O rating and have a level lottery or something.

[cooba]

listThanks for reading my posts:Know what would be good for the 10th bash? People actually <em>playing</em> like they used to in the older years, rather than sitting in the server and chatting about everything and nothing.

Whoever is putting the level rotation this year should definitely keep this in mind. Some of the suggestions here are not more than average, gameplay wise.:|

[Vegito]

For the rest it looks like an alright list imo.
But yes, I'm with EvilMike's idea here. =O

[snzspeed]

it is a nice list, yet people still whine. i personally would never join AB server just to "play"

[cooba]

I personally would never join a bash server which has Mulch in the loop :)

[FQuist]

It would be nice if people actually listed the levels in the list they wanted out, or list the levels they want in, instead of the (disappointing) nonconstructive complaining. If you want the list to be good, give feedback. And stop whining. I find it rather disturbing that in celebrating that this community exists for 10 years, people mostly act in a way that shows the worst side of it.

I agree with Mike about 10 years being a special event. I also agree old levels should have some representation. I however recognize many people dislike the older levels and want new levels in. What about having some alternative chronological "legendary levels" pack that is hosted at a couple of special times? Or a certain timespan?

[Slaz]

Whatever old levels will be in, I wouldn't like the famous 3 Diamondus Warzone, Semi, and Bblair to be in because those are way too overplayed last year (that doesn't mean they are bad of course)..

[cooba]

In my opinion, those levels shouldn't be in the bash10 loop:



The Genesis Reactor Core - surely blur has done some better JCS work than this? This is a fine level but hardly matches up to levels like Anarchy Inn

Wormhole Check Point 18 - gimmicky like Happy Canyon.

After Dark - good eyecandy, little else.

The Demon Rampart - the weakest one from the Agony pack I think? And already done last year, too.

Toxin Twister - already done last year, suited for competitive play making it less fun to play in public games, no thanks.

Mulch - Self explanatory, I hope.

Turbo Shock Star Cruiser CTF - same as Genesis Reactor Core.

Foreign Country - this level wouldn't be half as well known if it wasn't for the tileset that everyone seems to adore for some reason.

Sub-terrestrial - this was played to death last bash.

Bobo Meets Royalty - this one is in only because Stijn wanted it.

Forest Awakening - looks pretty but plays just horribly, never played it last year or something?

It's Over PF - I'm sick of this one.

24 Hour Coffee - no comment.



I was a little disappointed to see Stijn's and PJ's lists so focused on levels that are from 2006 at the most, though.

Also, I find it a <em>little</em> suspicious how PJ's fellow xtreme level makers!! have the most levels in this list.

[Superjazz]

What's wrong with Wormhole? ;o

[snzspeed]

hahahah, biggest anniversary coming up and people just keep blaming/flaming eachother behind backs. some "community" this is..

also its not that easy to make a "superb" list what satisfies everyone so :P

Also, I find it a <em>little</em> suspicious how PJ's fellow xtreme level makers!! have the most levels in this list.
maybe because XLMers made the most levels this year? :)

[cooba]

maybe because XLMers made the most levels this year? :)Or maybe all XLMers are centered around nothing but their levels :)

[snzspeed]

Or maybe all XLMers are centered around nothing but their levels :)
im not centered at all and there's still older levels in and stuff..

[cooba]

there's still older levels in and stuffI forgot that 24 Hour Coffee is a brilliant level that simply must to be in :( :(

[DarkSonic]

Hmm.. not bad, but I don't understand why MULCH is in there. I would prefer the new version 'MALCH' or some other level. It also has some levels in that were in earlier Bashes. I can understand that 'classics' are in, but there are also some levels that were in AB8/AB9. I think it's not strange that most of the levels are by XLM members, because most new levels are made by them.

Also, can anyone tell me what Errors of Judgement is? A new level by blur? Or by someone else? I think some people will still be making levels for the Bash, but so far this is a pretty good list.

[Superjazz]

If you look at the j2o download-lists, make it show Battle-levels with minimum rating 7, sorted by date, you can see there aren't many from last year.

[Stijn]

FQ: I gave feedback earlier but unsurprisingly enough, Stijn and PJ ignored it :roll:
What feedback? "I won't join a server that hosts Mulch"? I hadn't read it until I wrote this post, I didn't ignore it.

Also, I find it a <em>little</em> suspicious how PJ's fellow xtreme level makers!! have the most levels in this list.
Come on, this didn't play a role at all for me.

Will respond to the rest later.

[DarkSonic]

If you look at the j2o download-lists, make it show Battle-levels with minimum rating 7, sorted by date, you can see there aren't many from last year.

Battle levels from last year/this year with over a 7: Foreign Country, DarkMatch, Heated Pipelines, Sandstone Ruins, Daring Rebels, The Warden Woods, Hardware Database, Sector Probe 68-A, Christmas Clash, Rumble in the Bogs

Battle levels that haven't been rated yet: 6 Hour Energy Drink, Darker Remains, Scrap Brain, Mixxed Up, One and a half hour Dr. Pepper, Caves of the Arabic Ninja

And then there are the Battle levels that are not on J2O yet, dunno them all.

[Grytolle]

I'm just gonna post the legendary document I put together one awesome afternoon, hopefully you'll find something nice in it!

It's called goodctf!.txt, and I don't give a damn about if a level is new or not.

hahahah, biggest anniversary coming up and people just keep blaming/flaming eachother behind backs. some "community" this is..


Don't you get it? This is what th community is all about!

IT'S AN ANNIVERSARY BASH MIRACLE KIDS!

[snzspeed]

I agree with Mike about 10 years being a special event. I also agree old levels should have some representation. I however recognize many people dislike the older levels and want new levels in. What about having some alternative chronological "legendary levels" pack that is hosted at a couple of special times? Or a certain timespan?

Alternative pack for those legendary levels sounds much better then putting so much old levels in bash..

[FireSworD]

I support this.

[Raven aka StL]

In my opinion, those levels shouldn't be in the bash10 loop:

The Genesis Reactor Core - surely blur has done some better JCS work than this? This is a fine level but hardly matches up to levels like Anarchy Inn

It's an awesome level, many like it and it's definitely a lot better than Anarchy Inn.

Also, Grytolle's list is relatively awesome.

[Stijn]

I like the idea of a seperate "classics" pack too. I've compiled a first draft, aiming to incorporate 2 or 3 levels for each year. It was surprisingly easy to find really old levels that I found suitable, but 2003 gave me a hard time; please point out which levels I overlooked. The list only goes to 2006 since the 2007/2008 levels worthy of inclusion would probably end up in the "normal" bash pack anyway.

PJ will post the "classic" CTF proposal somewhere soon. Based on the feedback given (thank you, particularly cooba with his well-argumented post) we will then update the "normal" lists.

Unemotional Landscape (1998, Mezz)
Bobo Meets Royalty (1998, Hidden)
Green Beret (1998, Bluez)
Clan Wars: SE III (1999, Shadow)
SandStrand O'Hazes (1999, spy)

Release years of the oldest levels are mostly based on the "Created On" metadata of the level files. There might be some mistakes there.

Shoot.

Care to any suggest levels to replace these?

Did I imagine the last 2 years, or 2007 and 2008 levels are missing? :confused:



Btw I hate EvilMike's Hidden Temple.

[Stijn]

IconGuy:

[Vegito]

I'm fine with a "classic pack" too =O

[Nonomu198]

oh right

I actually read the post but gut a little lazy so I skipped that line. Curse the laziness.

[Quickz]

Alternative pack for those legendary levels sounds much better then putting so much old levels in bash..

Yes, this sounds like a good idea.

And I think 'Dethroned' should be in the Classic Battle-list. Another original level is The Underground by FireSworD.

[Ragnarok!]

Btw I hate EvilMike's Hidden Temple.

Why else do you think it was hidden? =O

[Nonomu198]

Why else do you think it was hidden? =O

Good point, but has nothing to do with my post. I hate it and it's in the bash list. I don't want it in meh bash :(

[Valco]

meh bash :(

OUR bash O+

Considering there's any little iddy bitty teeny tiny chance of this being dealt with democratically, I vote against that level being in the bash as well.

[R3ptile]

i'm sorry for all the crap i had been posting in this thread the other night, it's too bad i quit but i'm just too lazy and i feel like no one would appreciate my effort anyways so it's not worth it.

i have no idea what's going on but anyhow i think that the 10th anniversary bash should be bigger than the usual ab pack and have some classic levels in it and not only new stuff.. although "classics" are to each one his own, i personally hate levels like Bobo Meets Royalty which gives me a headache, but 24 Hour Coffee is one of my favorites.

[Valco]

Where can I find Bobo meets Royalty anyway? I've been searching for it on downloads but it won't show up.

[Stijn]

Search for "Bobo", it should be in some old bash packs.

[Anubis]

Yes, this sounds like a good idea.

And I think 'Dethroned' should be in the Classic Battle-list. Another original level is The Underground by FireSworD.

I beat you in that level :)

[R3ptile]

Where can I find Bobo meets Royalty anyway? I've been searching for it on downloads but it won't show up.
make the worst level you can.
it'd still be better than Bobo Meets Royalty.
that's why some people like it i guess, i can't relate to it since i haven't even been around when it was "popular".

[Valco]

I'll try and recreate MULCH to get a feel of Bobo Meets Royalty.

[Raven aka StL]

Mulch is a dozen times better.

[CrimiClown]

Also, I find it a <em>little</em> suspicious how PJ's fellow xtreme level makers!! have the most levels in this list.

It's the level that counts, not the author. Anyone who thinks otherwise should be ashamed of himself.

The few levels I make every year aren't made to get into the Bash. In fact, if one of my levels would ever make it to a Bash, I'd eat my shirt. Seriously, isn't this all about celebrating, not about "Let's see who makes an appearance this year"?


<s>We need more CrimiClown Online Adventure</s>

[Nonomu198]

Well ,an apparance of some people is a reason to celebrate, isn't it?

[Raven aka StL]

It's also fun to notice that I made a decent-ish level with a huge gameplay bug last year and it made it into the 9th Bash, while now that I made a tons better level... it did not.
Not that I mind that at all.

[Stijn]

Fun indeed! Glad you don't mind at all because without telling what level you actually mean that comment is pretty worthless.

[n00b]

--Needless brooding

[Unhit]

I don't want to seem impatient, but I'd really like to see the classic CTF list now 8[

[Superjazz]

Yeah, what news about the lists? >:[

[Stijn]

PJ is so lazy I'll post my unfinished list then

PaSTE's City (1998, PaSTE)
BloodBunny's Lair (1998, BloodBunny)
Crimson Diamond (1999, Martin)
Dirty Laundry (1999, BloodBunny)
Happy Castle CTF (2000, stripe/Bobby/FQuist)

Pinball Arena 2k5 (2005, BlackRaptor)
Best CTF Party Good Luck (2006, n00b)
Very Stupid Floating Castle(2006, Ragnarok)
Same idea as battle list, 2/3 levels per year up till 2006. Improve please.

[cooba]

PaSTE's City => The Diamondus Mines ^{<a href="http://chaos.foxmage.com/cooba/diamine.j2l" style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: none;">↑</a>}
Quasar Quandary => Lava Lagoon

The rest seems good.

[n00b]

I'm actually quite surprised my level actually made it in.

I however say keep it since its a post-ironic diorama on the mindset of the bourgeois level critiquer's diaphragm.

[Grytolle]

excellent choices for 2006

[Raven aka StL]

haha, indeed.

[Talec]

Alternative pack for those legendary levels sounds much better then putting so much old levels in bash..
Hey, I like the sound of that. :3

3DBattle1 (2000, Noraa)
3DBattle! HEE! <3

24 Hour Coffee was like DethMan's last level, wasn't it? That's pretty noteworthy.

Or we can force QoB on everyone. :) *runs*

Also, I nominate Dystopia for classic CTF. ;x *gets shot by Mike*

[Grytolle]

tihi dystopia :D:D:D

[Jerrythabest]

I nominate ze following levelz fer:

Fer Battlez
Battle1
Battle2
Battle3
Battle4
Trainer*

Fer Flagz
Capture1
Capture2
Capture3

Fer Gemz
Treasur1
Treasur2
Treasur3
Treasur4

Fer GroundForz

Race4


*Me got motivation: as everyone can't go back everyone getz stuck at end of level and killz otherz so zese otherz start back at start yeah




EDIT:
OK and now a serious note, nice levels so far. I'll be there ;)

[EvilMike]

Hey, I like the sound of that. :3
Also, I nominate Dystopia for classic CTF. ;x *gets shot by Mike*

actually I'm going to thank you for this, you actually spelled Dystopia correctly. When I made that level I spelled it wrong but by the time I realised my mistake it was too popular to rename.

[KRSplat]

Dirty Laundry has my full support, as does Bobo Meets Royalty, with full admission that it is a horrible level.

[Superjazz]

The Bash is here within a week, and we're yet waiting for the final level packs. That might be useless though if we cannot even find a good host for it.

[cooba]

Genesis Reactor Core => Mechanical Disaster (blur's fine level that never got well known somehow)
Malch => battle2ctf (just as silly as Malch and better to play)
Darkened Factory => anything else really :<!>(

The rest seems fine.

And what about the classic lists?

[Eigus]

Darkened Factory => anything else really :<!>(


haha yes ;p I'd still have to correct the level info textstring which is long as (-).

...but that's your choice, PJ ;P Nice list imo.

[White Rabbit]

Please add Happy Semiconductor to the list of classic CTF levels.

[Yasco]

Please add Happy Semiconductor to the list of classic CTF levels.

Agreed.

[Birdie]

If you really want to use mulch, at least use malch. :l

[PurpleJazz]

If you really want to use mulch, at least use malch. :l

Malch ~ Birdie

:/.

[Stijn]

And what about the classic lists?

Coming up <del>right now</del> somewhere later today.

[Stijn]

Please add Happy Semiconductor to the list of classic CTF levels.

While I agree that it definetely qualifies as a classic, I did not include it because I felt that in a full bash server it would probably be too small. I'll take it into consideration though.

[KRSplat]

Classic level suggestion: Flood Control Dam CTF by GoleX

[Raven aka StL]

What about the near legendary Medieval Skyscrapers? :|
And yes, Happy Semiconductor is way too much a classic to leave out regardless of anyone's logic.

Also, PJ's list is fregn' awesome.

[Jimbob]

What about the near legendary Medieval Skyscrapers? :|
Lose. :| Too overplayed. :|

[Stijn]

Distopia: 3 2002 levels on the list, and there are 2 other levels by EvilMike in already.
Cooba's suggestions: I went for Flood Control Dam CTF instead of Diamondus Mines. It's a level by the same author, but more popular (as far as I remember).

[cooba]

Freaking ~ PurpleJazz<img src="http://chaos.foxmage.com/cooba/freakingwt.png" />

:(

[Stijn]

I disapprove of anything lolcat-related in the bash pack

[PurpleJazz]

Freaking has been removed.
D:

[FireSworD]

Just tell me what is wrong with darkened factory?

From the screenshots, it seems a good porton of the level has been made, and what has been made looks pretty good. If Eigus is smart and wraps the level up (p4ul's part ofcourse) or convices p4ul to finish it.

[Eigus]

Actually FS, Darkened Factory is finished. I might even release it someday. Probably after AB10 though. ;O

Also, WTF is that Freaking?!?!

[cooba]

From the screenshots, it seems a good porton of the level has been made, and what has been made looks pretty good.No offense to Eigus, but the rest is pretty bad. :( P4ul was planning to finish the level himself but never got around to do it AFAIK.

[Raven aka StL]

Nice list stijn.
It's only missing Genesis Reactor Core.

[Stijn]

Which was uploaded in 2007, while the list only goes to 2006?

Anyway, it hardly qualifies as a classic. Maybe it would fit in PJ's list, but it has no place in the classics list in my opinion.

[Eigus]

No offense to Eigus, but the rest is pretty bad. :( P4ul was planning to finish the level himself but never got around to do it AFAIK.

NP Cooba, I don't think it's really that great either ;P That's the level selectors' choice to make it stay in the list or replace it with another level though, I guess.

[cooba]

Well yes, it's PJ and not you who's taking the potential blame :<!>)

Wicked, I'll see if I'm able to take a break from revising for exams and drop in on the bash...

[!Tman!]

Hey,

Most of you remember me and Jman from back in the day. I decided to stop by because of this wonderful event. Looking back before my college years, The Jazzjackrabbit community was what Jman and I called family. You will never meet an online community as helpful and gracious as this. Im 19 now and I started playing at age 9. I truely grew up playing a rabbit and what a blast it was. If this game dies I truely hope that the community doesn't. For everyone here that helps run this site and keep the game going for the younger generations, God bless. This will always be one hell of a rabbit game!!! :P

I hope to be on during this bash, Jman and I both.

I think the Signature is still the same and I think it speaks for all....

A small thank you to everyone.

[Haze]

Happy Anniversary y'all! :+

[Slaz]

Happy anniversary! And for Jazz(2), I'm wondering what the next 10 years will bring to our furry friend. I keep hoping for the best but my expectations aren't over the top..

[Vegito]

Cliffy?

[White Rabbit]

I'm come to tell everyone that I won't be attending the Bash* until Monday because I'm going on a very short week-end holiday.

*Except for the even shorter two mins I spent on Frank's server right up to the point where he banned me. Mistaken identity (I hope).

[Stijn]

You should've replied when we asked you whether you were the "real" WR! And assume your good old ASCII-laden nickname ;) There's another "White Rabbit" around who is, in fact, not you, so that's why you were banned I guess.

[FQuist]

I'm sorry for banning you :(
People were mentioning nick stealing and you were being kind of quiet, and I thought it wasn't you.

So were you the White Rabbit who came back to my server and played for about an hour, too? In that case, I wish I would have recognized you, and it was fun playing.

BTW, cooba, did you take a screen of the moment you used kill command on me for fun? :p That would have been a real screenie. Do not delete this message and I forgive you, but I promise you're gonna get a revenge for that! :p
Happy bashing and I'm happy i had played in the so famed bash.

I dont have any screens but I have a fun quote, we were playing in snowfall in snoozeland. "[15:53:59] Sacrush[si]: This is Snooze's best leverl"

[FawFul]

yay.. i missed a couple of weeks in jj2, but happy now to see the bash levels :)

[CrimiClown]

Been there... forgot to take screens. :/ But it was quite a lot of fun.

And of course DS came and stole away all my kills. THEIF!

[EvilMike]

Stop switching the game to lrs, it's annoying.

It's fun for a few minutes and then you have to wait for the last 3 people to die.

[Vegito]

Agreed with EM.

LOL for me it was fun till the end ;p Just lost from (I believe it was) Rag with him still having 4 lives left in that darn funny level XD Everyone was waiting like four minutes for me to die the last time :cool:

[Jimbob]

Time for another screenshot:
<img src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc140/jimbobjj2/ab10btlscreen06.png?t=1208035743">
I was, obviously, on a rampage in this level. Got 12 reoats before dying EVEN ONCE. Pretty nice ;p It just looks like there's no hearts in the screenshot <s>BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE ANY</s> because I was on one heart at the time.
PS: Spaz looks like he's drunk xD

<!--- Since I volunteered to host the Bash again, FQ told me the Bash admin pass (and I obviously can not reveal it to you) and I set it to that. And he knows I won't login to the Bash server with that pass (I'm not an admin). ---!>

[Vegito]

I'll join the bash for a bit later again too.
I might even make screenshots which I haven't done yet!

If you cannot play JJ2 online, shout these at yourself every few minutes while playing Single Player JJ2 to get a similar expereince:

"PITS!"

"HELLDOME!"

"SERVER CRASH?"

[Stijn]

I don't know. There are enormous problems with finding a server and somehow the one who hosts changes every 6 minutes but I'm enjoying this Bash a lot.

aka HELLDOOOOOOOOOOOOME

[DoubleGJ]

oh crap you're right

I really lack focus lately D:

[Vegito]

Lol double ;)

And yeah, I really like this Bash a lot too. All those server changes and such make this Bash fun :P

Heh I hosted and updated my GroundForce levels because there happened to be no Bash server yesterday. Somehow JJ2+ went odd after two hours of hosting and it kept crashing after half an hour or so. Oh well, it was fun. We should have bashes more often. How 'bout next week?
