does anybody know anything about the weapon 0 rumor in JJ2? Maybe its possible that the laser shield could have been what they were talking about. appreciate it if someone could clear this up for me :confused:

Weapon 0 would be whatever your gun switches to when you press the 0 key. As no weapon is switched to, even if you use a JJAmmo/JJGod/JJGuns cheat, I assume that there is no such weapon. On the other hand, maybe it's a super special weapon you can't get by cheating, like the blade gun.
As for the ultimate weapon, it's the laser shield, and I can post proof if you want.

The Blade Gun is the beta version of 1.20-1.23 version's of Pepper Spray. A much cooler looking weapon. Who knows, weapon 0 could be a project that was never completed and wasn't even released on he betas.

BTW, type "jjshield" 4 times to get the lazer shield, it pwns. There is no monitor for it unfortunately.

I never thought I'd be seeing "weapon 0" arguments again. Anyway, I'll help (make things worse) with this:

"No matter how hard the game programmers try to squash this rumored weapon, it's still alive and well. Or is it? The question is, is there really a weapon 0? Early on in the development of JJ2, Cliff Blezenski (lead level designer of both Unreal and JJ2, also game designer in both titles) hinted at there being an "Ultimate Weapon." Later on, Cliff and the rest of the JJ2 team denied this, basicly saying there was not indeed an ultimate weapon. Furthermore, after they denied it's existance, any questions directed on the subject were either un-answered, or answered very vaguely, neither denying nor confirming the Ultimate Weapon's existance. So is there really an Ultimate Weapon? Is it actually Weapon #0? Well, there really is no way to tell.. there is no event in JCS, and no secret that we can find while viewing any of the official levels in JCS, but that tells us nichte. The designers could've EASILY hidden some secret weapon in an "easter egg" that no one but a genius could find. And so, this weapon continues to remain one of JJ2's profound mysteries."

I highly doubt it because JJ2 has been around for a while and no one found any strong evidence suggesting its existence. But you're welcome to <strike>waste your time and</strike> try and find it yourself.

Feb 18, 2005, 05:25 PM
I've hacked JJ2 a bit, and the memory address for weapon type goes from 0 to F (15) 0-8 are the nine normal weapons, A, B, C, and D are the shield weapons. 9, E, and F are nothing.

Actually, I could be wrong here, since it's been a while since I've messed around with this, so it could be that 1-9 are the normal weapons, A-D are the shield weapons, and 0, E and F are nothing.

When I say nothing, I mean nothing. You can't even shoot. You pull the trigger on your gun and nothing happens.

So, if there is a super special secret weapon, it is hidden in a diffrent memory address that no one has found yet.

Ah, but he can teleport at will, and he has 200 hearts. He would win at LRS if you discount the fact that he's not a rabbit.

White Rabbit
Feb 21, 2005, 08:02 AM
What do you mean teleport at will? Using what and how? :p JJ2 has no in-built control for the player to warp to pos x, y without using JCS events. I don't think he can win at LRS if every other rabbit is Jazz. They can always pick on poor Devan. I wonder if seekers prioritise between rabbits and turtles? :rolleyes:

WR, in JJ2, Devan teleports into the arena, but the machine doesn't show. Therefore, I guess he warped BY HIS WILL.

He also has a 1024x768 resolution, which I'd like to have.

White Rabbit
Feb 22, 2005, 07:29 AM
Could be faked. You can cut and paste different screenshots. :p Dizzy couldv'e taken a screenshot as well, hehe. :)

@Violet and Cooba: Devan starts off at the place he is put in JCS as an event, or on the tile directly underneath the event. The warp is just his entry animation and he doesn't literally warp in like rabbits.

cooba
Feb 22, 2005, 07:34 AM
he doesn't literally warp inThen what is he doing? Another spectacular exhibiton showing what he can? Besides, if his "entering animation" isn't supposed to make it look like he warps in, then what in the hell is it supposed to be?

I don't think he can win at LRS if every other rabbit is Jazz. They can always pick on poor Devan.They can always pick on someone faster than them by default, who has got 10 health hearts? Besides, he can morph into Devil Devan and camp somewhere high in air.

Tubz
Feb 22, 2005, 08:29 AM
Bleh, it's a mock up. I didn't even realize that Bob is Devan. No way, totally fake.

White Rabbit
Feb 22, 2005, 12:39 PM
It's just an entry animation showing that he is warping in, but he hasn't really done so. He just starts off from there. If he did warp in, he would warp in from the air if the 'Devan boss' event was placed in the air. Instead, Devan warps in on the ground and doesn't fall in, like Jazz's start positions and warps. Also, he can't morph at will either, not until his first 100 hearts are lost. :p

Violet CLM
Feb 22, 2005, 08:47 PM
You have a good point, but you are unfortunately basing it on the assumptions that:
#1: Rabbits and turtles warp in the same way.
#2: All warps are created equal, which we know not to be true already by looking at JJ1.
When you consider that Devan's warp machine is activated whenever he needs it to be, it only makes sense that the warp might be more advanced, or at least automatically make sure that it comes out on solid ground.
And I'm pretty sure Devan takes 200 hits, not 100.

White Rabbit
Feb 23, 2005, 06:44 AM
It must be a different kind of no fire zone, because in JCS's no fire zone, you can't even pull the trigger and there's no flash either. You can also get the kind of no-fire weapon using Gamehack. Basically, the weapon isn't there.

@Violet: Devan takes 100 hits to morph and 100 hits again to un-morph, afaik. Also, you're speculating a lot because you don't know there really IS a machine (apart from the flag bases) and that it really IS more advanced. You need 1.25 to get proof for that, heh. :p

Sorry to revive a 2 month old topic, but I believe I may have also found the rements of weapon 0. (I've got screenshots too!)

While playing in jwklr's server, I started to use Jazz Advantage (a cheating program, for those who don't know, NO I don't use it in regular games) to prove that jwklr wasn't cheating, by showing what the effects of cheating are. While toying with it some, I cycled the weapons and came to one with no image. Shooting caused the trigger to fire, but after that, nothing. The ammo would go down, and when depleted, go back to Electro-Blaster.

Also from a 'Computers are Black Magic' point of view, I think that this may have been from the Tweedle Boss, who suppousedly took away your weapons for the fight.

Anyway, here's my proof http://home.ripway.com/2004-10/185933/weapon0.zip

Apr 9, 2005, 05:34 PM
seriously! its true!!! i was hosting a game with the normal jj2 lvls. i was playing with silvite, sonyk, and silentbullet and we were arguing about cheating. silentbullet accused myself and sonyk of cheating (we wernt but he woundnt listen) so sonyk started that cheating program to show him what real cheating was. then he found it! it was really cool!

btw, im actually being serious! no lies!

Why do you know?While fighting Tweedle, you'd have to attack w/o guns, just like in a room full of No Fire Zone events. However, the difference is, there are already sprites of Tweedle stealing your gun and PLENTY of gunless Jazz/Spaz sprites.

Maybe they only had 9 weapons and just left 0 blank, did you ever think that?

This is like me telling you all about the house at 67 shortheath road. And about how the guy there will give you money if you play chess with him.

But there is no house at 67 because the road isn't that long, you could easily say it exists because it goes in sequence and would make perfect sense but there's the simple fact that it isn't there that nullifies the entire argument.

Weapon 0 crashes the game when about 150 or so of its ammo is used. there is no image/sprite for 0 and it has about 5000 ammo. When you use Jazz Advatage in TSF and run out of ammo for a gun, it switches to weapon 0.

About the 0 weapon, there are in JCS two events that cloud count as a weapon and as weapon 0.

If they would work, cloud they be weapon 0?

Although I'm unsure about Max Weapon thing... presumably a big gun crate which would give you 99 ammo for each weapon + powerups, although it could be easily a powerup kit for a weapon with max power...
