Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

We have a pretty below average level here. Design, eye candy and event placement could have been significantly improved… Also contains no new ideas. Semi-good music choice. I feel like decreasing the rating for your comment about ModPlug in the readme. ;-)

Overall I can’t give a download reccomendation for this. Sorry. :-)

First of all, i really appriciate that authors use superb custom tilesets like DethMan’s 7th Lava Fall (btw this is the first major bug: in the readme you thank Jeh for the tileset…).
And the set isn’t used that bad at all: the eyecandy is quite okay in my opinion. Well, there are still some masking/tile errors though. And the foreground layer with the "falling lava" will get very annoying after some minutes!
Now, the bad side: The design of the "Pyramid of Steel Fury" is (slightly below) the average. There are lots of things that i dislike:
Sandglasses (very annoying event i think), Airboards (pretty useless in this level), Hurt events (they will only hurt the server, believe me!) are some examples i found.
The pack also includes a custom music file: i’m not sure if it fits to the atmosphere of DethMan’s "dark, industrial" tileset but it still sounds…um…pretty funny. I’ve heard MODs that were worse.
To sum it up, this is a nice level, mainly because the author tried to use a great tileset and custom music. The design (actually design is the most important part in a level :-) itself is not that good.
I think J2O’s readers could take a look at it. I was very undecided about the rating (5 or 6?). Hey, it’s saturday…very very low six points for you :-)

This level is not very good
A lot more work should go into it
At least 3 hours per level.

Nimrod: Your name says all. I spent over TWO WEEKS on that level, day in, and day out…

Aiko: answer me this: Why do some of the tiles make bad remarks about dethman? I think that jeh made it because there’s a positive comment in there. Now, Dethman may have made the level 7th Lava Fall, but there is no proof that dethman made it. Jeh could’ve made it because he has a LOT more expierence with tilesets. no offence deth And by the way, I’m thinking about re-releasing this level with a little better choice of music. wanders off to modarchive.com

Iced: Winamp rules. ModPlug don’t. Winamp has AVS. ModPlug doesn’t. Winamp is skinable. ModPlug isn’t.

Dethman is the modest type he made the tileset. There is no questioning that. In tilesets Deth also has more experience.

Also, we don’t need personal attacks here.

lemmy speak now..

these are the jobs at Mystic legends and this is what people do there
Jeh is LEVEL BUILDER (never made a tileset)
DethMan is TILESET- and LEVELBUILDER
Martin is LEVELBUILDER
Shadow is LEVELBUILDER

Conclusion: jeh coulded make the Tileset mabby the levels But not the set..

My apoligies,I have fixed the Text so that it appetises all parties (iced, I censored the thing with ModPlug. :) and changed the level layout a bit.

Now if I can re-upload it…This is the problem. It doesn’t re-upload, but gives me a “fatal error” :( DIZZY! DO SOMETHING!

Cheeze should fix it. It’s his code and he is the only one that knows his code. :P

So should I go badger Cheeze? =P

Design Layout was Below average
Weapon placement was Ok
