The demo is nothing great. It deosn't even save properly.

Nevermind. I never save stuff :)

Alberto

Hehehe Mike
It can save
Just edit Jazz3D.ini located at your System folder in your Jazz3 dir.

Then look for [Core.System]

When u find it you will see below
PurgeCacheDays=30
And below of it
SavePath=../Save

U must change that one to your Jazz3 save folder, like this
If you have Jazz3 installed in C:\Games\Jazz3D\
Then u must change "SavePath" to:
C:/Games/Jazz3D/Save
Remember, use the "/" thing instead of "\"
Look, take a look at mine:

[Core.System]
PurgeCacheDays=30
SavePath=C:/Games/Jazz3D/Save
CachePath=../Cache
CacheExt=.uxx
Suppress=DevLoad
Suppress=DevSave
Suppress=DevNetTraffic
Suppress=DevGarbage
Suppress=DevKill
Suppress=DevReplace
Suppress=DevSound
Suppress=DevCompile
Suppress=DevBind
Suppress=DevBsp
Paths=../System/*.u
Paths=../Maps/*.unr
Paths=../Textures/*.utx
Paths=../Sounds/*.uax
Paths=../Music/*.umx

Then come back and thank me ;P
Have fun

How is it that people have it when it isn't released?

That does not seem fair.

I think Jazz 3 Demo is better then i thaught, but it has loads of bugs, then for the save fix Alberto

I vote yes. We can hack into their computers and release it ourselves. It's a demo, so it's not illegal. Exept for the whole hacking idea... :D

Alberto

Nov 3, 2001, 03:41 PM

Yeah.
It has lots of bugs.
But the bugs can be easily fixed with a bit of C++ skills and decompiling the game, fix the bug and recompile again, easy.

And I already said how to fix the save bug, btw, it's not neccesary to type the complete path in save to fix it, just change:
../Save to ..\Save
And done.

Whoever publishes Possum will publish JJ3. And they'll say that in advance, so WTG might still work on it, and then they'd get paid, and JJ3D full would get published. Whoever's <s>stupid</s> smart enough to publish Possum will be smart enough to publish JJ3, because Jazz Jackrabbit already has lots of loyal fans, and Possum doesn't have as much support from it's prequel because it doesn't hae one. Therefore publishers think that Jazz 3D is more stable than Possum.

Or maybe JJ3 is being secretly worked on and nobody's telling us. Hey, it could happen!! :)

~SPLASH~

Nov 18, 2001, 11:33 AM

Well..if they start making JJ3 now, they will probably not use the Unreal Tournament enginine anymore. and that engine was the max my PC can handle...so even if they would release it I wont be able to play it :(!

UT engine stinks anyway :P Laggy, slow and only good if you have V00d00 power :|

The Game was to buggy to get it released thats why it's a Pre-ALPHA game..

Shadow says:

How wrong you be. GeForce-based cards (mainly GeForce2 and up) deliver FASTER performance and better graphics than Voodoo cards within the <i>Voodoo-"optimized"</i> Unreal engine. I haven't found any graphical lag problems even on the most high-poly UT maps on my GeForce2.

You may want to murder me, but I tell you that it won't be. I should simply add this to my signature:
"EPIC DOESN'T GIVE A HOOT ABOUT JAZZ!"
Why do you think they abandoned us?
Back on subject.
Yes, it is V E R Y buggy.
But that would have been no problem.
They should have finished it.
*sigh*
The only reason (pretty much) that they can't release it publically is that it *DOES* use the UT Engine. Alas, this would be giving the engine out for free.
*another sigh*
Hey admins, do personal attacks count if they are against Epic? :p
No seriously, they abandoned us. (Why do you think we need a listserver patch?)
The "Official" Jazz Jackrabbit Site (The Daily Carrot, daily the day it was made :() still has links to J2C....
Have you noticed how they never say anything about JJ3d yet they thought it ruled (which it does! :cool: ) when they saw the first beta test.
But if there is a JJ3d, we outta each buy two copies and give one to a n00b. :p

Let me just start ALL over.

No, it won't/Yes, it will be released. With games and graphics and speed improving everyday, soon the UT engine will be as outdated as a penguin on a horseshoe. So, it is outdated, so they release it, right? Well....look at it this way:

54.5 mb file (zipped, 128 unzipped) or around that
Not even close to finished
Using an outdated engine
Few people who will play it
Copyrights
Etc.

So, no....agh! Just talk to Epic or something...

Just to say everyone who is saying "Its just a demo its not illegal" its not just a demo. Its a NON-PUBLIC TEST that means for all you whiners its not for the public! only people with cool friends like me!

Alberto

Dec 14, 2001, 09:19 AM

Kaz, hehe, I mailed Jason Emery once and he said that the demo wasn't going to be released.

I deleted that mail, but I still remember what he said:

"I think there was a demo leaked time ago, although we weren't supposed to give it out ^.^"

He told me that, well, more or less.

Dec 27, 2001, 12:03 PM

How about your E-mail Epic for the demo?.. I'm sure they'd glady send it if a certain er.. $... something was involved.

(Fricken cheap *ducks the moderator* j/k lol)

There's a JJ3 demo :O !?!??!? What's the differences between JJ2 and JJ3 Demo (except the new levels)?

Alberto

Dec 28, 2001, 04:48 AM

Heh, I mailed Arjan once from Epic Megagames, he told me he saw some screenshots about it but he wasn't involved in Jazz3 stuff.

And yes, the difference is that Jazz3 is in a 3D enviroment.

I prefer the Voodoo over the Geforce2. Go ahead and use your Windows DirectX! Hahahaha, Windows. (laughs) Or use your openGL, meaning it's OPEN, meaning NOT DONE. Glide? Glide all the way. Runs at low resolutions and looks like it's

defalcon

Jan 2, 2002, 09:24 PM

Yes, but the Voodoo is now an orphaned card. 3dfx is dead. The Gefore is the way to the future. All aboard the Geforce train!

Jan 15, 2002, 04:18 AM

The reason why they can't release Jazz3 demo is because they could have to license the UT engine, which costs lots of money.

Hey if you created a game would you feel like tjust giving away the source code?

Probably in some previous message, the Email Notification got checked. You can either go back and try to edit that post (if it's possible to undo an option), or hope somebody closes this thread.
Till then...

Please do not reply to this thread.

I dont think Jazz 3D will be released now, its just being old an dit grows mor eoutdated every day.
But i wish it was released, it would be 1st inline to buy it :)

Hello JJ2/JJ3 fans.
I would hearby ask anyone with a JJ3 demo to e-mail me about it!
I'd like to place the demo on my website for public downloading.
Webspace is not of the mather, I still have 2 GB left :P
So anyone having the demo:
don't be selfish and contact me how to make the demo avaible to anyone on this planet!

||Slim

Feb 9, 2002, 10:58 AM

illegal :P its not a real worth of a download anyways... it is kinda a risk, you shouldnt do it :cool:

You see? It's illegal.

defalcon

Feb 9, 2002, 04:14 PM

Some of us may WANT the JJ3 demo, but what we don't want is it being distributed illegally for public download. If you continue this apparent campaign, Fquist or someone might ban you ('tis illegal, illegal+JCF=nono)

Monolith

Feb 9, 2002, 05:04 PM

Anybody that has the JJ3 demo either shouldn't have it, or shouldn't be giving it to anyone else. The program is property of World Tree Games (I believe), and the name+engine are property of Epic Megagames. Neither have said it's ok to release and that makes it illegal to distribute.

Krezack

Feb 9, 2002, 05:07 PM

Well i for one don't want it, its illegal, its a bug ridden beta, its pretty crap. (i'm sure it wouldn't be if it were a full retail game, but its not so :p)

Alberto

Feb 10, 2002, 02:56 AM

I agree with Monolith, but ot's also not fair that someone have it, such as me, I have the demo, and I would like everyone could have it.

But since it's illegal to distribute it's not nice, just the best way is to wait till this demo gets public (if it does) or that Jazz3 comes out definitely in a full version, if it was sold I probably would be the first on buying it.
