Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Very, very nice editor. The new J1E has updated features, handy simplicity, a simple yet unprecedented bonus level editor (I hereby predict a surge of custom JJ1 bonus levels) and much more. Event customization. Quick performance. You can create a save game in JJ1 via the editor, allowing you to speedily test your level without skipping through the rest of the episode. Handy.
There were some things I didn’t like though, mostly in the convenience category. Unlike in the older and loosely similar J1CS, this prog does not let you scroll with the arrow keys, and you actually can only scroll up and down. Also missing is the inestimably valuable “B” multiselect key. I was very disappointed by that. The events were also stripped of their names, making it a long, boring and tedious process in hunting down and labeling each item.
So verdict? Nice and practical, and with only a handful of aesthetic detractors, the J1E is a very helpful tool that will redefine how JJ1 levels are made. Download today.

xSnooze: …what the heck…
Why is my rating too low? My rating is exactly what I think it deserves. IMHO, it’s not a bad one either, although perhaps an 8.0-8.2 might work too.

PLEASE DO LETNI FIRST!!!!!
A better tech would be great too, but there really isn’t a good version of Letni yet

@Violet CLM,
I went into far more detail in my private message to you, but I do appreciate what you have to say. It’s better that way.
I also forgot to mention this in my message, but my goal in making these levels was not to make it fun to play in JJ2 (although I am certainly willing to go fairly far out on that limb to do so), but to make levels as close as possible to the real thing in JJ1. If I have to sacrifice a bit of playability to do so, so be it. Some people aren’t as lucky as you or I to have JJ1, and some people are too lazy to go find the DOSbox progs for it. They are the ones I did this for, so they can see what JJ1 was like. If I radically changed the pack to suit the 2ers, that wouldn’t accomplish my objective. As long as they get my very best effort (and I’ll grant you that this one wasn’t entirely perfect), and as long as they get a quality product, I will never consider this a waste of time. Never.

@Fox,
Yes, there IS a version of Letni out. But it’s so unusable that I’m not sure it counts. I tried building with it once and never did so again.
As I have said before, the point of this pack is close-to-perfect JJ1 replication. There was a much larger ammo capacity in JJ1 than JJ2. Oh, and the non-TSF JJ2 can’t exceed 99 ammo, either.
Let this be the last time I have to explain it to anybody. It WILL stink gameplay-wise! I was more concerned with accuracy, a mistake I do not plan to repeat next time around.
Oh, and someone already made a JJ2 version of episode 1 with JJ2 tilesets. [admin please add link to it here] However, I won’t stop you if you’re planning to do it as well.

very nice. Glad to see we finally got this out. Hopefully we will get some good conversion of Tecnoir and Letni. (May do one of them myself if I get bored. Made the pallet already for tecnoir.)

Edit: I’ve decided once Lark get’s back to me on Fanolint, I’ll try to make a more usable Letni tileset. Won’t put as much effort into it as Fanolint, but still it will be a lot more usable then the current one

Excellent race levels, esp. use of upcurrents and falling.

Improvements:
-Remove excessive poles – they are really annoying and do little to speed up the player when so closely spaced
-Kingdom of Glass is too easy for Jazz cf. Spaz (intentional?)
-Remove annoying long ‘connecting tubes’. It interrupts the flow of the fast-paced race

No offense to you, but i’d suggest you’d lower your seemingly high standards a bit, if this kind of levels are the best you can do.

EDIT: I am not the only one who has noticed/has gotten annoyed by that, btw. also, for the level it seems you could have fixed alot with some small adjustments..

ThunderWalker: I mean small details, like adding some more ec, and adding oneways to some tiles. doing that would greatly help the flow :P

Don’t work for me.
If i open JJ2 (i use 1.24) and i select Singleplayer: ACCESS VIOLATION.

Please fix this.
EDIT: Ok works. You need to erase one of the Episodes (too many Episodes). NOW it works fine. GJ

Spike balls? OMG It’s really bug!
It’s causing some “Access Violation“s.
Letni is really good.
Orbitus? Hard. But sweet music.
Recommend? Yes, of couse.
Rate? 8, because I don’t like spike balls. :)
(Sorry my bad English.)

PS: I’m waitng Ep. 3. Be quick! xD

[Review changed to quick review. ~cooba]

Good, good, and good!
I really really (and of course) really like it!!

But I didn’t like sparks. (-0.3)
Recommend? Yes OF COURSE!

[Review changed to quick review. ~cooba]

It’s really cool! xD
Everything is good very creative!

I want Part 2 :)

[Review changed to quick review. ~cooba]

Yes I played this level and I say something :)

Firstly: Where is the Episode 9(IX) ?
You didn’t write it.

Intro
Not bad. “Classic Intro Music” (funny)and the story.

7.0

Gameplay
Somethings are good, a lot of things bad.
Hidden Flying Dragons? It’s joke?

6.5

Enemy Placement
A lot of enemys good but I didn’t like hidden fly dragons.

6.0

Pickup Placement

I like placement. Carrots placements are good.

8.0

Trap Placement

There are some bad placed trap. Especially I don’t like spike balls at ship level.

5.5

Music
Musics are bad-matched. Hot harmony.

4.0

And…
The Lagoon Traps are really really easy. :)

Finally: 6.0

Recommend? I’m not sure, so I will rate this N/A.

I forgot…

Who is Zoro =D

Thanks:D

Bah, ‘‘Could not find the tileset’‘ error appears on some of these levels (ever1, ever5, ever6, ever7, ever10, ever19).

Please fix it.

Improtant Message:
in ever18.j2l i forgot delete some spike balls(plz sorry, dont rate this level) and if you touch white warp, you can get Error which says NO WARP TARGET…

I recommend in ever18 go to start pos in ever14 for immediately finishing this level…

And other note: Download: Credits.j2t somewhere, i forgot put it!

(I understood, i need make fix for this pack, i was so quickly and made much errors…)

This file appears to me more one tileset, because it is the most important thing, but here is the note of the texturat and map:
Map:
Graphics: There’s no more to say, since this is the mario game, it is necessary to note:
Note: N / A
Pickups: This is where the map is based, I like, but do not have to break up, instead of carrots invinsibilidad where you put the star “power up”, I miss life in 77, 24, and add things that were not Mario, I would have worked a little more in events. The enemies are well chosen and placed.
Note: 3.0
Music: Here there is nothing to say, except that when they start again silence
Note: 7.00

Now if that matters:
Tileset:
Graphics: Very well done to the conversion, as it has no faults.
Note: 7.5
Mask: No flaws.
Note: 10.0
Where the block “?” broken?
Note: Total -2
Overall rating: 6.1 (6.2)

The description was the best ive read in a while :D

6

[(Rating clearance (8) because 6 != 8 and it is not clear which you meant. ~Violet)]

Some lazy review from your clan leader. :)

The eyecandy is rather well.
I think the blue base is too overpowered in defending and the map a bit too small but it’s playable. I also like the music choice.

Keep making levels and you will get better for sure, trust me in this one. =P

Rating is 7.5

I used this one to get the bonus2 tune, and that worked perfectly. it got my attention on a file I never saw before though: maz_phobia_edit.j2b. it had very strange speed changes, but that may just be because of the conversion. the music seems out of place, but it’s j2b so I assume it used to be ingame. anyone know more about that?

agree with snooze, i enjoyed this. and that thunderwalker mostly copy and pastes his review-layouts in general. furthermore i don’t get all his points of downrating like his taste of music.

its a nice level for your first one. imo 7 is far more accurate then 5.6 but whatever

also, since thunderwalker based his rating on music, the rating should be removed
