Description

This little tileset-pack contains 3 tilesets. The tileset CW, known from levels such as Cracco Snowdust Village and Cracco Gladiator, has been upgraded majorly. CW+ has 2 textured backgrounds, 31 new snowmen, 1 new dragon, some eyecandy (mountains, flowers, etc.), a hook, H/V poles and a set of ground tiles for inside a fire place. This makes a total of 340 new tiles (all drawn, non ripped). CW+ can be used for a cold/hot contrast level or just one of them. There are also 2 more tilesets in this zip; CWwarm and CWcold. Those are basically the same tileset, but with palette changes. You could use CWw for a level which hangs more to the fire side, and CWc for a level which hangs more to the ice side. Unfortunately, there are still a few ripped tiles in this tileset, so it can never become a 100% original tileset. But, I am working on a remake on this tileset which will be called CK. CK will have all the original tiles of CW (excluding the textured backgrounds, there will be new textured backgrounds), and a lot of new tiles (drawn, ofcourse). I can’t upload CK yet because it’s not done yet, it’s taking quite some time to make the new tiles, but CK will be uploaded as soon as it’s done. Uhm, that’s all I’ve got to say about this.

BTW, another feature of CK will be that the tiles will be better organised. The backgrounds at the bottom, all the ground tiles together, colors together, snowmen together, blocks together, dragons together, you get the point. CK will have destruct, collapse, buttstomp and trigger blocks as well.

censored!!! That’s VERY cruel! They appearantly just liked the tileset, what’s wrong with that? It’s EVIL to delete all the good reviews and let the bad ones stay!! You just can’t take it that I’m getting high ratings because you dislike me!! How can you say that these people were just friends of me and didn’t really like the tileset? Grrr… If a lot of people like for example one of Disguises tilesets, and they’re friends of disguise too, and give the tileset a high rating (like a 9.5), why do you let them stay then? And using as an excuse that my tileset is worse than that one is weak, because it depends on your opinion!!!!!!!

I’m not accepting this. I demand that you, Shadow or any other admin or J2o, reply to this and bring up some good arguments!!

To Fquist and ShadowGpW. It’s not my fault that Shadow and Bolt have low status.. And by the way, the good reviews of 9.2 and 8.2 were before the 2 bad reviews of 5.5 and 5 came, so those people made the 5 point difference. And you can’t say who of the sides is right. A good way to solve this would be the average of the good and the bad reviews, that was 7.9, a fair rating, that was how it was until you interfered and got rid of the good reviews… This 5.3 isn’t the real average, I can’t agree with what you did.. Sorry. [This review has been edited by CraccoBoy]

Hmmm, this isnt what I expected from a tileset with an average rating of 8.7 at all. I’m very suprised that it got that rating in the first place.

The quality of the drawn tiles aren’t that good, they have very little texture (if any). Apart from that there is tons of tipped tiles, I hate ripped tiles, always draw your own. I dont see why someone should get rated for another person’s work, it’s just wrong, so I always lower the rating.

I don’t know where to start with the comments, and I havent got a lot of time, so this is as much as I will write, it gets a 5 from me, a lot lower than the other ratings, but that’s my opinion on the set.

Download reccomedation? Nope, cant say that it has.

Hmm. At first, I see that all high raters are friends of CraccoBoy. Hmm.

Okay, my review. The tileset consists of snowmen, ripped tiles from the epic tilesets and ripped tiles from other games. Some tiles are made bigger (bigger size) than the original tiles so they are ugly and pixelated. The snowmen are nice anyway, but with only snowmen you can’t make levels. There is some stuff to make platforms of, some weird animals, some ice and some pole stuff. Also there is paint-drawn stuff, and since paint isn’t that great, the tiles aren’t great. The textured backgrounds are ncie anyway. I would say this: Concentrate more on drawing platforms stuff instead of snowmen and ripping tiles and the tileset would be much better.

Add: I agree a bit with Craccoboy, but I’m not really a “friend” of Disguise and I rate his tilesets high too. And when I see that members of your own clan are rating your tileset very high and me and Disguise are not, I think something is wrong

Jackass, bolt and ShadowXR
Just to be clear we still have rules (press view rules) but to make it easy i just copied and paste it

“The following things are forbidden at J2O, persistently breaking the rules may result in banishment from the site:
1. Rating one’s own levels.
2. Rating levels obviously unfair(give a level with an average rating of 2, a 10, or one with an average rating of 10, a 2, or something like that. (try not to rate your own friend’s levels in a biased way)
3. Using multiple accounts to influence the rating

When trying to review, try to be fair. Don’t rate too high. Don’t rate too low. Rate objectively. Rate the level on all aspects.”

I’m bringing everyone down or lower the rating if its unacceptable. no matther from who.
Also user B0lt (B0lt EL and BlackEnergy) isn’t even allowed to review sinds he has 6 warnings, 2 accounts mis-used but to be honest I didn’t wanna be a pain for them so i didn’t lower his status.
User ShadowXR (Originally ShadowJOL) Has also a low account so offically he cant review/rate/post a level, but agian didn’t want to spoil it but perhaps we should have done that.

User Jackass, he is your friend and has never reviewed anything else, Accept yours.

Perhaps the last one was Questionable and perhaps a mistake to delete his comments. But his rating would be how ever not be fair compared to the other more experianced reviewers and raters[This review has been edited by ShadowGPW]

WHATTA!!!? Why are the most reviews ( the ones higher as a 5.5 I mean) deleted??? If a person has an opinion I don’t think somebody else can just say: ow, I don’t agree with that …Let’s just get it away!!
I don’t think that’s normal!!
And now I know you all will say things like: But it were all friends who gave the good points and blablabla…. But that’s not true!!! The leader of JOL gave a high rating to ( and JOL aren’t really the biggest friends of CC).
I hope you all know what I mean and will change something about this.

[admin]okey now make a good review and rate it FAIR, Just press the Edit button and make a good review. [/admin][This review has been edited by ShadowGPW]

I am away from jj2 but want to comment to this any ways.

We hold no grudge against CC. But the user Black Energy was given low status because of account abuse, and thus should not review at all. Same with ShadowXR.

If we see a level with an average rating between the 5.2 and 5.5 we do suspect something is wrong when a friend of Craccoboy suddenly gives a 9.2 review. As the rules say: “2. Rating levels obviously unfair(give a level with an average rating of 2, a 10, or one with an average rating of 10, a 2, or something like that. (try not to rate your own friend’s levels in a biased way)”.

I have said this a lot of times, but I am NOT biased towards GPW or any clan. If you want to know why Black Energy was banned, just PM me.

Craccoboy, I don’t think your argument about Disguise’s tilesets is right. The situation is not comparable. Disguise’s files generally get high ratings. When we suddenly see friends of Disguise rating his levels high, while all other non-friends rate his tilesets high too, why should we suspect something? If everyone gave one of his tilesets a 5 and a friend suddenly rated it 10 we would remove that review just as well. You see, everyone holds different opinions. Some rate less strict then others. Because of this, different people rate levels differently. One rates it 7, the other 8. This is only a small margin, however. We simply don’t trust differences of 5 points. Such a difference has nothing to do with one’s own ‘opinion’. If you truly rate things for their eyecandy and gameplay, or whatever factors, you can’t have such huge differences in the ratings, because while one may dislike the level for the gameplay and another one might like the gameplay, even someone who dislikes the gameplay will see that it has quality, even though it’s not his style.(Compare it with music. You may not like the classic rock genre, but it’s still good, it’s just not your style). This is called objectivity. If everyone rates objectively(and there is a lack of people who do that) you won’t have 5 point differences. Or are you accusing Disguise and Flash of being biased against you? ;p

[——-EDIT——-]
No, Craccoboy, you can’t be held responsible for Bolt and ShadowXR. It’s simply so that as they were banned they weren’t allowed to review.

And it’s the high rater’s side against the low rater’s side. The difference between the sides was that the people who rated high were your friends. Friends generally are a whee more biased. I have reason to think Flash and Disguise aren’t biased. I have enough reason to think the two banned persons who have a history of biased ratings were biased. And Jackass, suddenly started to review, starting with the level of his friend. This does not help make his case more believable, still, maybe his review shouldn’t have been deleted. The reviews of the two banned persons would have been deleted even if they had given one of Shadow’s levels a good rating.

I am sorry that I thought the 5.x reviews were earlier then the biased ones. I still think that it was just to delete the reviews for the reasons I mention here.

I am also sorry that we made the rating of your level go lower, but that’s just how we work. Let’s see if the next people who rate this level (unbiased) will make the rating go higher.[This review has been edited by FQuist]
