Description

JazzForce is a XJJ2 like Jazz Jackrabbit2 launcher. It can do almost everything XJJ2 can, and sometimes a little bit more! We do not want to clone XJJ2 so we can take part in their succes. We just thought it was a shame that such a nice project died. This is version 1.0, and we’re open for suggestions for future versions.JazzForce is a J2HG production. If you miss any files required to run this utility please look in the “Problems” directory in your JazzForce directory. Have fun!

Hmmm. I’m downloading it now. Let’s hope it’s not buggy :)

Nice interface. Yeah. A worthy succesor to XJJ2. Nice. I’ll probably use this myself.[This review has been edited by CraccoBoy]

Kinda cool! Works, and works even great! Graphics fit the chosen screens. The only problem is that program appplies only files called Jazz2.exe. I have exes for two versions in one directory and to work separate I called the 1.23 one Jazz2w.exe (wanna know why? See 1.24 properties -> original file name) and now I can’t play 1.23 from JazzForce.

It wasnt bad, it really messed up my colours though. And that os what bugs me about these proggies. It either gives me default colours or it screwes it up. Layout: Not bad
Good idea though. It is like XJJ2, yes. But better in some ways,this is also somewhat like Jazz Commander, good job tho

As for my review, I like the program, but it lacks some features which I think it should have. Take jazztool (another program that can be used to join servers, and my personal preference) for example. It has all the features of this program except for server hosting and IP adress display. It (usually) shows the ping of the server, and it also shows how long it has been up. Plus it will list the entire server list, TSF and 1.23 included, and joining either server requires a simple double click; no checkboxes or menus or anything.

I used this program a bit, and I didn’t seem to find any bugs, so that’s a good thing.

One complaint that I have is that the box which lists the servers is a little too small. A few columns are cut off, and they require you scroll to the right to view them. I suggest making the window wider.

Overall, this program is useful, but I just don’t think it beats the rest of the launchers we have out there. I’m giving it a 7.2. Good effort, but I think that a second, updated version should be made sometime in the future, obviously to add more features.[This review has been edited by Newspaz]

Quite honestly, there is little to add to EvilMike’s comments. This is like a new version of XJJ2 (Xperimental JJ2, a fairly revolutionary program relatively speaking.) There are a few differences from XJJ2. First of all, the program interface and clicking system is vastly improved. The artwork is much nicer and does not look so hand-drawn as XJJ2. Plus, yes, this can host battle (strangely, no one ever seemed to notice XJJ2’s inherit inability to host battle games. Apparently no one cared either.) The general idea is that the interface is much more smooth. I am not sure if this can be billed as a completely new program, but I love it. If the XJJ2 lineage would still be being created today, this would probably be what it would look like.

+ PROS: It’s XJJ2. It can do anything XJJ2 can do, plus change character profiles. Oh, yeah, and it can host battle.

- CONS: This program offers nothing that is revolutionary to speak of. While it is quite useful, it is not a new program that will redefine JJ2 or anything.

VERDICT: This is sort of hard to rate. I will give it a seven point seven. It is not anything that you probably have not seen before, but it is the best serving program ever created, and the interface looks quite spiffy. Yes, there is nothing here that you have not seen before. But it still is a versitile, pretty much all-encompossing hosting tool, and for that it deserves a download recommendation.

Pretty neat, the bestest thing about the program are the graphics I suppose. Anyway furthermore it has an easy and fast to use the interface. Some missing features though wich I would expected. But this is fine either.[This review has been edited by Super Saiyan]

I’d like to add to Evilmike’s review. That the program does show all servers on the lists. And the checkboxes or input boxes should be no problem, since you will not have to use them if you’ll simply click a server from the list.

A 7.2 from me.
The only major pros this has against jazztool are the ability to host and join on IP. JazzTool Had pings, a handier fur/name changer and supported cc99. Also I liked the interface less than jazztool.
