What about building JJ1 in JJ2

[Violet CLM]

Hey Newspaz, JJ Tublear, Electric IR, ToxicBunny,(Is Toxicbunny still here?) JelZe, Kazooie, (Is Kazooie the same as Kaz?) etc... Shall we get back to it? Any levels almost done besides Diamondus 1 at http://www.geocities.com/alister_j_t/jazz/packs/ ?

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

I'm almost done with the Tubelectric level 1 (in JJ2 graphics that is)...Will that do? http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Newspaz]

I dunno.. it takes me really long to make some....

[Alister]

Is anyone else doing any Diamondus levels?

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

I wish I could do one, but alas: I already have the 2 Tubelectric level, not to mention the heap of unfinished lvls...

[Alister]

I just want to make sure I'm not doing unnecessary work...

[Newspaz]

I've started on Diamondus in JJ2 graphics. But it doesn't work out that well.

[Michael]

I personaly think this is an ultimate idea but are you guys realy working on it? or is this yet again another fantasy?

-Nit

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

I'm really working on it, trust me? Don't believe me? I'll send you the first level when i'm done with it.

[Michael]

Goody! http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Does it use a custom tileset? You still got my ICQ number? If you don't; 74061061 (My user name is now 'FrogHead!')



-Nit

[Alister]

I can't do anything right now (I'm on holiday.)

Rebuilding Diamondus 1 with a JJ2 tileset is a bit pointless, thats'd basically what JJ2 Diamondus 2 is. As for Diamondus 2, it's a bit cramped for the JJ2 tilesets. Still, that may just be my mild dislike for JJ2's diamondus tileset.

[UrbanMenace]

Hmm... there's that other diamondus tileset...?

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

OK, sorry i brought this up, but...Is anyone still working on it? No? O well, i might as well do the whole thing myself, i'm testing with Zool 2 into Jazz 2 anyway....

[Alister]

Still working on it. I did stop for a while when my computer stopped working, but I replaced the processor (still a 166+) and everything's going fine.

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

Well, at least there's still one working on it. And why am i behaving like i'm in charge now? :confused:



And who will do Medivo? Or do you want me to do those lvls too?

[SteelTalon]

*sigh* Why must you do the "traditional" levels? That was what Flashback was for...



How about Fanolint? Or some of those cool ones...



Oh, that's right... we only have enemies for the Flashback ones...

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

Hey, maybe i can put the levels of Zool 2 in it. I'm tracing the Bulberry Hill (Zool2's Tubelectric http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif)levels anyway...



And the only thing traditional about Flashback (the episode, not the game mind you) are the sets, except for Medivo http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Exactly. =P

[Timothy Hyperion Purr]

Well...I would like to see better Tubelectric and Diamondus tilesets, because the Flashback ones look kinda fake.

[Xtreem]

I carnt wait to see this http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif

[~SPLASH~]

i think medivo will be quite hard to create..it looks way different from the old one

[Assassin]

How far are the levels?

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

As far as i know, only my two Tubelectric lvls are (almost) finsihed. I could do the rest too, along with Zool2 in JJ2...

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

Looks like i got no choice but to finish it on my own...

[~SPLASH~]

Jelze, u can stop after the first episode, we dont want u to get overworked by creating ALL episodes..(altought that would be real neato http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif) i'm already very happy if the first episode is brought out

[Violet CLM]

SPLASH is just weird. Of COURSE JelZe should do as much as possible! :P If he gets tired out we'll just marry him to Blacksheep or something. Then he can take a (long) sleep.

[~SPLASH~]

last time im NOT DEAD! :P

Jelze, bring it out when u have finished the first episode, if you are gonna make more or not, i wanna play it!

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

Good news, i've traced all levels of Episode 1 except Medivo level 2. And i'm having trouble building Diamondus level 2 in JJ2. O well, nothing a little messing around can't cure http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif And i haven't seen replies about adding the Zool2 levels in JJ2. Whadda ya say? The Zool2 levels are a bit longer than the JJ2 ones, but a bit harder to trace. If you'd like me to add them, tell me. The worlds will then have 5 levels each (2 JJ1, 3 Zool2). Well, how about it? http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[~SPLASH~]

im for releasing them apart..but its your choise http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Assassin]

I agree with Splash.

[Newspaz]

Nah they should be in a pack.

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

O well, i guess i'll see how things will work out http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Alister]

Well, as it looks like no-one has any interest in JJ1 levels with JJ1 tilesets, why don't we make some Jazz 2-ified versions of the other Jazz 1 tilesets?

[Newspaz]

As soon as I have some time left :)

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

GREAT idea, Toxic Bunny! Maybe we can ask Agama for that *hint hint* http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

Update: I've (roughly) finished the layout of Diamondus level 2. (Wasn't easy, i had to "cheat" a lot http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) And i must say things are looking good, with 4 levels roughly finished. Now it's Medivo's turn, which brings me to this question: do you guys mind if i made the JJ1 Medivo lvls with the Castle tilesets?

[Alister]

Though the castle tileset is better, I probably would mind. You've got this far without having to use another tileset. That could spoil it.

[Violet CLM]

I agree with Toxic Bunny on this one.



EDIT: I got his name wrong. http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[~SPLASH~]

ehm, what about just using the jazz1medivo tileset this time?

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

You mean the one by Ice Wolf, Splash? You gotta be kidding! That set has no animation, isn't complete (i'm very keen on detail you know), there you have it http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[~SPLASH~]

ok ditch my idea, use castle http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

*runs*

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

Long live my testing level http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif



I'm trying to build the levels with the JJ2 Medivo sets right now, and to tell you the truth it's (currently) not as hard i thought it would be (long live level building cheats). I hope it will work out fine...

[Newspaz]

Btw, JCS does work in Linux with Wine. I post a screenshot soon.



Jazz does not. Well, it probably can work. But I've only seen the boot screen yet. I'll try out some other ways soon.

[Alister]

Yes, JCS does work with WINE under Linux, but I can't get it to load levels.



Jazz 2 also works. But please not that for me:

-Windowed mode is slooooooowwwwwwww

-Full screen mode is not actually full screen, it is a 640x480 portion in the upper left hand corner (unless you are running a 640x480 X server).

-Sound doesn't work (but if I alter a sound setting, I get an infinitely recurring option-clang).

-It will only run at 640x480x8



Apart from that, it works fine.

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

Guys, going off topic here. Make a new topic for this kinda thing.

[Alister]

Went off topic in the PSP topic, went off topic here. Maybe I should give it its own topic...

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

Five down, one to go...



I've done it! I've finished the layout of Medivo 1 in JJ2 graphics. I must say it turned out better than i expected. Now it's Medivo 2's turn..

[Violet CLM]

ONE to go? What about Guardian? In Jazz1, the Guardians get their own levels.

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

You know, JJ1 often have a wide open area, not all space is used. I'm planning to use that wide open space in Medivo 2 for the Guardian.

[defalcon]

ACK! Hurry up and finish this pack! I wanna play it! JJ1 rules!

[roseta]

There is a Diamondus 1 tileset, yes!

You can get it from http://jazz2online.com

[Violet CLM]

Not to mention a Tubelectric one, a Medivo one, a Technoir one, A Pezrock one, etc... Most of us knew that, roseta.

[~SPLASH~]

Jelze has already finished Diamondus, right?

U better read everything before u start helping out http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

OK, after thinking about it a long time i'm putting in the secret Birdland http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif I've already traced half of it, so i can start building http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif



btw It could really help me out if you guys wanna place the objects in the level http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Violet CLM]

What boss will you use for Birdland, and how will nerdy birdy defeat him?

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

You'll see, unknown...you'll see a little cheating can't hurt anyone http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

OK, the lay-out of the all 8 levels (6 normal + 1 secret + 1 Guardian) is finished, now i need someone to fill them...any volunteers?

[Alister]

No volunteers?



I'll volunteer. http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

OK, i partially filled the levels with enemies...I suppose you can fill them with goodies http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Alister]

Will you be sending it/them?

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

Yeah, as soon as i can upgrade WinZip...

[Tha Psycho]

Do you have to upgrade Wzip for that?

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

I got version 5.6. That version shortens the names to 6 characters...

[Tha Psycho]

OW, thats why...now i see

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

OK, i managed to ZIP them on the other PC and sent them...



Lets hope it will all be worth it, these 2 months of work...



btw Anyone interested in the Zool2 levels?

i am just reviving this post as i would like to know if the project was cancelled or what?

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

Just some finishing touches, testing and it's done. http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[KILLERRABBIT(ICED KILLER)]

this may be a little late...but i would like 2 volunteer http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

Seesh, now everyone's copying my sig now!



Yes, you are a bit late...Hold on, you can still be a tester if you like http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[CelL]

*raises hand*



If you plan on doing the same for episode 2, tell me. Cuz in that case i`ll go make a Orbitus conversionhttp://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif.

[Violet CLM]

Make it anyway.

[billybob]

Why does nobody do the COOL levels, like Dreempipes, Slugion, Mega Battleships, Fanolint, Scraparap or Megairbase???



I will do when my jcs starts to work again!



/billybob

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

First of all, it's in JJ2 graphics. Secondly, I'm only doing episode 1. Either you guys seem to forget that, or you don't read the topic entirely. I assume the latter.

[Aiko]

I am the only one who wants the Zool2 levels, Jelle...well at least someone :-)

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

Only one? Well, i guess it will have to do..It will be a seperate release though...

[roseta]

I HAVE an INTREST of J1 LVLS WIth j1 tILESETS.

Diamondsus

Crysilis

Technoir

Marblara

and Tubeletric are done!
