I know that there are certain MCE's that can be used to make a Jazz Boss, but I can't get them to work. Event #200 always gives me an application error...

The Jazz Boss sucks. It's buggy. Don't use it.

I know the Jazzboss takes some special criteria to work, but I forget what. It's something really pointless and abstract. Maybe I'm thinking of something else, but I think you need a "robot boss (devan)" event on the level. Not sure, though.

I think that's for the one that is really just the robot with a different sprite.

I sort of got that to work. It went invisible, but was neat anyway.

Place TNT and watch the Jazzes fall!

I seem to recall you have to have another boss somewhere in the level... Tweedle will work.
Or I might be remembering wrong.

The Jazz Boss is event #200. You make a normal MCE and have the Pulse Light thing set to 200. You then need to go through an Activate Boss event for it to appear.

You can also place the Jazz Boss in a crate if you are so tickled.

If you really wanna know, I used one in a level of my own.

To use it, place a Pulse Light in an empty space. The speed must be set to 200.

Then, place a blue spring beside it, leaving two empty tiles inbetween. The blue spring must have a generator.

Then, place a belt event underneath the spring, which belt depends on where the spring is located...
If the spring is located right to the pulse light, place a Belt Right, if it's right to it, a Belt Left.

So:



[Pulse Light] [empty] [empty] [blue Spring with generator]
[Belt Left]


I simply did that on both sides of the pulse light so it'll work in any case. =b

Quoted from www.geocities.com/atlastsome - my website
200 - Jazz boss
This is actually a morphed Devan :P You see a Jazz shooting up and running around. When you defeat it it turns into flying dancing or dizzy Jazz just like Devan turns into a dragon when you defeat him. Don't forget about "Activate boss" event. UPDATE: You must also include an "Echo" event with a generator somewhere near or the whole thing will crash.

Ohh.... I think that that "Echo" is where I went wrong.

EDIT: No luck... I put a bunch of Echos in, but I still got an access violation

Were they generating?
