So far, i've seen nothing useful from this guy.
I just visited his website again. In the download section there are programs like "Address Calculator" (that helps you with hacking and cheating, as far as i understand it), "Project Inormer v2.0" (that gives me, as he puts it, "really useful information" about other players; i wonder what that could be), "Jazz 2 Ultra warp v1.01" (the last months, when i joined JJ2 servers, there were dozens of 12-year-olds babbling about a program called "Megawarp", which will help you to warp from one point to another in a level; i guess there is some connection between those programs). To run his episode, you need to start a COM-file. And so on and so on. That's just not my style. Sorry.
Sure, you may say that i'm just envious because of his obviously very good coding skills, but that's really not that point. I only think that if someone has talent in that field (like Overlord), he or she should use it for positive, good, helpful, useful stuff.
Also, a large part of the problem is that he can't keep all his insider knowledge for himself (like Pennywise, Cheeze, Everlasting, Shadow and some others did and do). If he would cheat, okay, i wouldn't care. But if he *publishes* a program that helps all those other losers cheating, i don't like that very much.
I've been playing this computer game for a pretty long time now, and i'm really a big fan of it. Regarding "hacking" and unfair cheating, the scene has definitely changed the last months. Mr. Overlord's role in this process in not as unimportant, as some of you may think. If you really didn't recognize that, i wonder how much you really care about JJ2.
By the way, XJJ2 and ChatLogJJ2 are great and useful programs, imho. I'm really looking forward to the new version of the latter (finally TSF support :-). Not to mention Jazz2Organizer by MetalWarrior, which is very underestimated.
