Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

is it ok to still use this program, even if it’s obsolete?
btw nice prog, i, before that /ready command update, liked this

I thought this was going to be a level to train RF climb (don’t bother making one though, we can train in those levels ourselves). But what I got instead, was a level that looked like a ground force level, that makes you guess constantly and punish you for not knowing. Even for other trial and error levels, this won’t help at all, because most trial and error levels are different in successful paths and fails.

How is this a training to “pro” level? This doesn’t train you on anything. If this level title and description weren’t so incredibly misleading, I may have rated it higher, even though I have a deep hatred for punishing trial and error levels.

What is a real training level? Practicing skills in a level. Guessing is not a skill.

It also includes bonus2.j2b which isn’t necessary, because every JJ2 comes with it.

It would be a terrible level to play race in, considering you need a ridiculous amount of knowledge to win it, and everyone who hasn’t played it before will likely fail. Good race levels are about being open and approachable (not a lot of knowledge required to play well).

Best of all, you get stuck in the pits and don’t even die in them. With plus, you have to keep using kill command everytime. Without plus, you should only attempt to play in SP and JJK, otherwise everytime you fail you have to rejoin/restart the server.

Also, it uses the blocks misleadingly. ! blocks are used for buttstomping/special moves. Use star blocks if they’re supposed to be shot.

What about the good things about this level…uh, a +0.2 for correct usage of layer 4 and 3.

Also, gotta love the “Don’t repost/reupload” because that’s already against J2O rules, it’s like putting “DO NOT STEAL” over picture descriptions on art sites.

Don’t download this, unless you love punishing trial and error levels. Play it in Single player.

WHY? because there are some people that can’t find the key to this | character, so they would use this!

go get your facts right…

nice drawing?

what the hell is this?

(Rating clearance; do not rate levels that you have not downloaded.)

Since AngelScript many of cool stuff started to appear in JJ2 posibilities and this level is one of examples.

Good concept, awesome performance, quite solid, but well looking eyecandy.

Mostly agreed with FawFuL on this upload.

this shouldn’t be rated lower than the previous version!

IN A NUTSHELL: This program is mostly obsolete!

Back when bass.dll support didn’t exist, this program was great. You got smaller tracks which sounded the same on Jazz2’s module player. And also being a time where dial-up was far more common, anything to decrease the filesize was great.

Also, it was used to convert modules into boss tracks when there was no scripting support to change music at bosses.

But those times are over. Unless you want to make a single player level which is entirely compatible with vanilla JJ2 featuring custom boss music – you may want to use this. Otherwise, I don’t recommend levelmakers to convert to j2b at all.

It does not support some module effects and JJ2’s in-game module player can give out crackle sounds. Worse case scenario – a sample keeps playing in the background and never ends. I also recall it may have a filesize limit – I’ve had my game crash by trying to load a converted j2b before.

There is an alternative, though it is plus only. mo3 is a far superior compression format. Not only does it make files even smaller than J2b, but mo3 has much wider effect support. Bass.dll is also a much better player than JJ2’s default. Here’s a guide on how to convert modules to mo3;

EDIT: Fixed up some grammar and spelling issues. Made it a little more brief. Also added another con of using j2b.

is this jj2

Lots of cool stuff that I’ve always wanted to see in JCS ever since I started using it (12 years and counting).

EDIT: Removed what was a bit too harsh.

9 years later: I realise the title means “Dark Wood Jungle”

Great! the old level Editor!

[I don’t think you quite understand. Original rating 5.5. ~cooba]

I always loved customized enemies and bosses. I couldn’t be more satisfied!

Violet kicks all of our asses in angelscript, but not quite with the basic jcs. We, generally speaking are all very amazed by the ridiculously cool script. But if you take away the scripting part, the level itself is far off from evilmikes SP works in JCS. There is more to offer for the jj2 future!

violet kicks all of our asses in jcs it seems

Amazing level that shows many of the new AngelScript features the new plus has to offer. I never could have imagined to see such a gameplay changing level.

This level is a YOLO. Download!

Outstanding, plain and simple. This level really raises the bar when it comes to making use of AngelScript.

If this is an example of what is now possible through JJ2+, then I’m looking forward to seeing more uploads in the future.
