Hmmmmm....

Nice list Haze. I think that we should show Epic that we still like Jazz. And Haze, about making Lori a standard character:
Copyrights, probably fine, I doubt Dean will get mad.

But, I've said this a billion times before to different people, (nothing personal), the anim.j2a (I think that is what it is called) for TSF is 9.15 MB. Too big of a download if you ask me.

Personally, I think that you should start editing TSF if you plan to hold Lori rather than 1.23, since this will save you more time.

--The JazzJackrabbit2 logo that appears in the corner, I think we should edit that and possibly put something like V1.25 on it.

--Allow a feature in JCS that allows you to view events as you play the level, like by pressing Crtl+E (E for events?). That way, when you are testing your level, you can quickly see while actually moving through your events. This would also keep from having randomly placed accidental events.

--Allow "real-time" editing. Jazz might already have this feature... But allow it so that if you are working on the level, you can save, and then when it moves on, and comes back to it, it will be the edited version.

--Insert a console like feature that would allow you to type something like "jjnext" and move onto the next level if you are the host.

--Allow names to be a bit longer, like a certain amount of characters EXCLUDING the | (pipe). Therefore, you can color your name and have a length.

--Add a new little section to J2O that has error messages, so instead of displaying Connection Timed Out....For More Information Visit http://www.jazzjackrabbit.com/ to Connection Timed Out....For More Information Visit http://www.jazz2online.com/errors/. That way, you can actually get information on servers.

--Edit the Jazz2.exe so that when you host a server, it goes to monolith.idlegames.com or jazz.logicware.com (Alberto has done this.)

--Make the chat accustom to the user's window size. If they have a small resolution, make it seperate onto more than one line so they can read it all.

--Allow an in-game logging feature for servers. This would log all chats, all errors, all IPs of users entering/exiting, etc.

--Automatically place fully masked tiles around CTF levels to stop the flag bug.

--Allow private chat such as: msg plr # |ENTER| "You are now only chatting to player #. To switch back, use 'msg all'." That way allowing you to chat to ONE user (or allow crtl + # for chat to that user...but you couldn't chat higher than user 10 (0 = 10), of course, servers don't often go that high.)

--Allow an integrated CHEAT system. If someone cheats, then the server gets "Player # is cheating. Use kick # or ban # to kick or ban this user."

--When you press F9 and you're the server, space the stuff out so you can see the IPs.

--Allow in-game remote adminning. (For example, I use 'admn #',
giving that user administrative rights, so that they can view everyone's IPs, kick/ban users, etc.)

--Make Jazz protect against xJJ2 "server-hack". What this is is not stated for obvious reasons.

--By default, make Jazz when it gets into the listservers, contact a special type of server that would have updates, and update something such as registry settings automatically, and notify the user if they needed to download updates.

--Someone said this I think, but show some sort of notification that a user is typing, not by making them invincible (since then when near death you could just push t), but by putting some symbol over their head.

--Also, allow players to move when chatting is going on. (So if you have players 2-4 locally, you can chat without interfering with their gameplay.)

That is all for now.

EDIT: Made into a list for Haze.

The AntiMcDonalds forums have turned into the JCF. Now includes the "spontaneous corrupt" feature.

(That was a fanchy smanchy way of saying that the forums are broked. AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT TOO.)
