GREAT LEVEL!!!!!

Great level

Rofl.

Well, a review.

—— Basic stuff: ——-

Story:
None.
0/0

Eyecandy:
Beautiful tileset, and only one or two tilebugs through the entire level. Everything was fluid and looked well.
9/10

Music:
Orginal and fits perfectly.
10/10

———— Gameplay: ——-
Level layout:
Everything worked, multiple ways to do things. The only thing that bugged me was that some crates were hard to find but the level was possible, even on hard, thanks to a thing called camping.
That worked because shooting enemies can provide a carrot once in a while, and with respawning enemies… oh well.
And as BlackRaptor said, you can run out of the map on that spot. I noticed but didn’t want to get down there so I didn’t.
6/10 (camping issue’s)

Pickup placement:
It was more than enough. And it was close to being perfect. However, there were almost no carrots, so that made carrot-camping even more attractive.
8/10.

Enemy placement:
The only issue was carrot-camping, but despite that was a problem it was also helpful, otherwise this level is pretty much impossible (on hard). But it was completable, even on hard, and some enemies were hard to kill, and some obviously weren’t…
9/10

Replay value:
A lot of secrets, but you’ll already need to find them in order to beat the level, which definately lowers the replay value. But it is still an interesting level, so it will be played multiple times regardless.
7/10

49/60 —-> 8,1/10

Penalties:
A few tilebugs and other small avoidable bugs. -0,4

Final rating: 7,7/10

DR: Yes, offcourse!

I downloaded this when I was bored and liked this..Very nicely detailed level with a cool layout, tho I managed to run off the map at 29, 47. I don’t like enemy respawn, but the level wouldve been too short and easy without it there

Overall, a solid level. You have a lot of creativity in your level design that you should experiment with further

Holy crap, what a level of polish. :)

Seriously, I didn’t think people ever made levels like these anymore. Download immediately!

You must have write access for the Jazz2 directory and for the directory where you saved pluslledit.exe. Otherwise PlusLLEdit is not able to create its configuration file.

Does it work when you move pluslledit.exe on your desktop and start it then?

EDIT: I found a problem with the function which reads the level names out of the files. I fixed this and reuploaded PlusLLEdit. (But I am not completely sure if this was the reason for the error message)
Could you please try it with the new version?

EDIT 2 (feature request): Done. :)

The 2.0 version gives me this error:

Access Denied.
Press OK to ignore and risk data corruption.
Press Cancel to kill this program.

Then it doesn’t detect my JJ2 folder, or something (says that Directory does not exist, which is not the case).

EDIT: I saved PlusLLEdit in my JJ2 folder. It opened correctly when I copied it to desktop, but as soon as I tried to change the installation directory, the same error popped out. It did create a configuration file in my JJ2 folder, though.

EDIT 2: That fixed it! Thanks a ton.

If I may have a feature request, can you add the multiple file selection (with Shift and Ctrl) to the level list? Right now I can add multiple files but not delete multiple files. :P

Dodges, JCS coordinates start at 1,1 whereas JJ2 coordinates start at 0,0. So yes, there is a slight difference.

It’s actually not as bad. Looks like some cool effects were also used. There are some tilebugs, but – thanks to the darkness – they’re almost invisible. Too bad it’s so small. The gameplay is nothing special. Maybe you should try to make some instagib levels?

“They’re all JCS coordinates, not the JJ2 ones”

?? Is it possible that JCS coordinates are not JJ2 ones??

This level rocks! The eyecandy and gameplay are great. I only don’t like the idea of enemy generators and it’s a little too easy, but everything else is perfect.

Unfortunelly I found bugs:
Stuck: 66,18 ; 66,11 ; 66,5.
Tilebug: 628,25
(They’re all JCS coordinates, not the JJ2 ones)

Anyway, great SP level, download recommended.

Ha, this prog is great! ;)

you can open this lvls in your server have fun :D

this is a cool level set!

Written before version 2.0:

——-

This program has been over-rated, plain and simple. This does tend to happen a lot with JJ2 utilities, since the majority of the community ranks “programming” one notch above “skydiving with an anvil instead of a parachute and your hands tied behind your back.” I consider PlusLLEdit to be the most egregious example of this so far.

I will admit, it does exactly what it claims to do. The problem is, it doesn’t claim to do much – makes a ten-second job a five-second one – and it doesn’t do anything on top of what it claims.

The sad thing is that the addition of just a few more features would have made this program actually useful. Being able to select groups of levels would be great; I could put all 30 Survivor levels in my Treasure list with much less effort than would be needed otherwise. But I can’t.
If I could sort levels by level name instead of filename, perhaps even search for terms within the names, it’d make sifting through them a lot easier in some cases. But I can’t.
Even just being able to add levels with a keypress instead of dragging and dropping would have made things much better.

It doesn’t help that Plus itself already has most of this program’s functionality. You can drag-and-drop J2L files on Plus.exe, and BAM, they end up in the level list. This is actually superior to PlusLLEdit in a few ways; most notably, I can add the aforementioned 30 Survivor levels all at once.

The 10 ratings are just ridiculous. Is this Captain Cook, which massively improved the barely-functional Home Cooked Levels? No. Is this TilesetPal, which made one of the most painful aspects of tilset making easy? No. Is this Carrotade? Okay, that one is kind of an unfair example.

——-

The new features definitely improve it. I still doubt I’ll actually use the program, it’s usually just as easy to edit the level list directly, but I can see how people would want it.

For a level made in less than 24 hours this is really good. The originality is great, the eyecandy and gameplay are a little less.
