Hey, don't forget another useful program you can use for your tilesets and PSP.



Palette Suite

This program lets you customize, change, or move around colors in the 8-bit palette.



Try in combination with making your tilesets.

Yep, I use that for textured bg's and to re order the pallette. It's easy, just put two boxes open and cut and paste. Great program by Toxic Bunny :)

If anyone's interested, I'm working on a Linux version. I'm rewriting the whole thing in C++, so it will be alot faster.



However, I don't know what good it's going to be for a Windows JCS...



Anyway, I've discovered yet another palette format, so stay tuned for a new windows version.

[Newspaz]

I draw most of my sets in Windows. However, I could give the GIMP a try.

And when the sourcecode comes out (if it does), it may be possible to port JCS. I don't think it uses DirectX.

[Alister]

I think WINE supports some DirectX. Some should be enough for JCS if it does use DX. It could even be enough for JJ2.



I can't see for myself because WINE requires glibc 2 and I've got glibc 1.2. From what I've read, upgrading seems terrifying.

[Ice M A N]

Ah yes. I've heard that too. I don't know from experience though, as I STILL don't have a linux box. (I had one before... long story why I don't anymore :/)

[Newspaz]

That should be possible, you can even run Jazz2 without DirectX (except for you don't have any sound). If I'm right.

[Ice M A N]

I'm not sure about that, but I'll take your word for it. And I think I remember Pennywise saying he could play JJ2 using WINE. But I'm not sure..

[Alister]

Jazz 2 doesn't just use DirectSound (and it can also use windows sound anyway) it also uses DirectDraw.



P.S. installing glibc 2 might not be as daunting as it at first appeared.

[Newspaz]

I'm going to try to install wine to.

[Alister]

Grrr... It turns out I did have glibc 2 after all.



I went and downloaded about 20Mb of glibc 2 at 4k/s for no reason!



Ah well, at least it should work. Should.



P.S. I can run Palette Suite 2 and JCS (but can't load levels). I haven't been able to get JJ2 to work yet.
