Pageclaim.

as i said, noone takes my things to hearing ears

Maybe, that not a good idea, but why don't the community collect money and buy the rights of jj2 include the source code, and after the community got it, they can make it free.
Ok, I've said nothin.

can i have that beta?
it looks sooooo cool!!
plz send it 2 me!!!!

8 pages and the replies to this topic still amuse me.

@BlurredD
LOL Same here

@jWLKR

We've been through this, most of us are sure it dont exist

lol im joking

or am i....

You know what's really strange? Although Epic won't release the JJ2 source code, they already released the Unreal Tournament source code to a group of talented coders in the community. Look at this: http://www.utpg.org/
If someone were to send them a polite email saying "You released the source for one of your most popular games, why not JJ2?" There might be half of almost nearly partly a chance that Epic would even READ IT.

It says this on that site I mentioned. Quite interesting:

We are a group of programmers and server admins from the UT community who got together and approached Epic about the possibility of maintaining the Unreal Tournament code base. Since our goal of maintaining the game and fixing obvious problems, while keeping all the major game-play systems 100% intact, were right along with Epic's goals, Epic granted us access to the source which allows us to undertake this project. Our focus is general maintenance with some of our time spent dealing with security issues in the Unreal Tournament engine.

Annoying, eh? Oh well.

It's almost as though Epic denies ever making JJ2. They no longer have any official JJ2 webpages, and as far as my knowledge is aware, there has only been 1 JJ easter egg in the Unreal games.

The problem is how easy it is for a game like Unreal to be popular, and how easy it is for a game like JJ2 to not be (aside from us, of course, but we don't count in Epic's eyes, for some reason).

It's as if epic WANTED to make jazz fail . If that is true, then they are all sick minded Idiots. It's like they intended to do this. This is a BIG consparicy about Epic and Making jazz dead!

If what i said is true, then epic is

That is all i have to say for now.

I ain't surprised, while it was granted a very good idea, and possibly had some of my requests taken it. I have a feeling it'd be an "April Fools" joke. The screenshots were pretty cool, but it didn't look offical enough, making it less credible in my eyes.

Yes, somehow I do have a feeling that Epic doesn't even take care about Jazz Jackrabbit, only for their piffling Unreal Tournament games, which, are getting old. FAST. If they can't focus ONE second of their lives on their older games, than they shouldn't even be a company to begin with. I swear if all they think is "OMG, LETS MAKE ANOTHER UNREAL WITH 00BER GRAFICS!", then god bless them if they ever think about fun and gameplay, ala JJ2 for once!

Mastercheater: Although I really want a new jazzjackrabbit, it is no reason to say that the unreal series sucks, because it doesnt.

Tell them, that Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is one of THEIR games, they HAVE TO care about it too. So many people are trying to change JJ2 so that it's even better, and if they don't care at all, why would they ever keep the source code secret? Dreams are fine, but reality is what we want to see! (Well, I do, and I think most of you want to build 1.25 too) And if they really don't have it any more, there has to be ANY way to get that code? And if they want JJ2 to die just like everyone is dying to get this, then let JJ2 live with our own 1.25! Please, make them give that code! I've seen that most people want 1.25 since 2002, and they still haven't gave us the code. Just ask them one LITTLE thing:


WHY?



So, I think that's enough.

Why don't YOU ask them =\

i knew someone would ask that, well, that isn't too complicated: I am just helping you to make tham give the code, i don't even know what i have to do with that code! it sounds stupid, i know, but saying that is just a way to find out why (i think you noticed the word WHY?, or didn't you)...

Or they dont give the source code cause they maybe they still wanna start a new Jazz game. There was nothing in the planning so there is a little change.

As do you, for posting on a message board where we live less people exist.

Although it's totally unfair that Epic released the source for UT and not JJ2, that's not any kind of reason to say Unreal sucks. In many ways, it's similar to JJ2. Think about it. There's a reason the original JJ3 demo used the Unreal engine. It's the closest thing to a 3D JJ2 there is. Also, UT2K4 > *.

Well, it doesn't suck exactly, I like the first two Unreal games, Unreal 1 and UT classic. The other games however, sucked.

Incorrect.

The only people who say that the modern Unreal games suck usually say that because their PC sucks and can't play them at full detail.

Unreal Championship 2 is also a good Unreal game.

Uhm, a small question to the J2O Admins: when are you going to allow 1.25 levels as uploads? Since I got the patch a few weeks ago, I already made a few levels, but I'm not sure how to upload them.

ahahhahahahahahaha no plzkthx

Hahah, well. Usually for some people it's like that, but I assure you, my PC is not that weak to run UT2003/04. Usually, it just doesn't have the same "fun" and "gameplay" in my view, as the old UT games. Even though it's nearly, if not mostly the same, it's just too diffrent for my taste. (No, I do not mean the new game modes.)

But, putting aside those UT chats..

OR MAYBE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PATCH IS NOT FOR COMMUNITY NEWCOMERS WITHOUT ENGLISH GRAMMAR SKILLS DOES NOT EXIST

It was confirmed that there is NO 1.25 patch at the current time, maybe somewhere in the distant, DISTANT future, but not now. At best if anyone was talking about a 1.25 patch, saying they had it. It was a lie, an April Fools joke. Geez. =/

Everybody's English sucked once. So did yours. Now stop posting insulting things, ok?
Back to topic, I can't believe that there is still being posted in this topic while we all know that it was a joke. At least alot of us know.

what is a resource code anyway?

Somehow, simply put, it's the "Source Code"

.. What's a Source Code you ask? Well, think of it as a lot of text-type files (.c, .h like), with code in them? Still don't understand? Eh, basicly, a Source Code is where ALL the coding for the entire game, that means Enemy A.I., player movement, paralax coding, all there. That's in the source code, but it does not include Sprites, graphics and such things though. That's what a "Source Code" is.

OR maybe epic is scared to give us the jazz 2 source code if we make it good again. :P
Or then they just makes a ne jazz.
I like UT. But i hate Epic because they dont give us the source code. But WHY!? or is the ansver only that noone havent asked yet? -.-

*chokes*

We've asked a bit more than once, John.

You've been really inactive, havn't you?

I've sent an email to this adress: michiel@epicgames.com
I dunno it's a fake or a not fake email, or something, and I don't think he'll answer, but I'm still hoping...

I would've sent a message if I knew that there was an e-mail address.

ur mom

i know

Somebody send that patch to me! I NEED IT! lol

This was an april fools joke, Dalisene..
