Congratulations team on this release of plus, you have really gotten it right this time.

Now I'm just wondering about the diminished range of power bouncer, and why is the toaster power up color changed?

I don't know about the bouncer, but the colour of the toaster powerup (the monitor) has been changed because it was the only powerup that used the colours of the not-powered up version instead of the powered up one. (Compare purple bouncers, red RFs, yellow/blue seekers, etc.)

What happened with fast fire and Blaster PU colors? I noticed something different there, too, but can't figure out what :P

I'm pretty sure powered bouncers got fixed in the hotfix. Or perhaps only vertical got fixed. Sigh.

Powered-up bouncers are fired with exactly the same xSpeed/xAcc/ySpeed/yAcc/counterEnd values they ever were.

I think they're just trying to get us to change powered-up Bouncers so they would bounce through the level indefinitely.

Now that I think of it, that's a nice idea for a scripted level. Give every player 10 bouncer bullets that, once shot, keep on bouncing around until hurting someone or destroying something. When the player fires an 11th bullet, the oldest disappears. Could make levels very dangerous!

I was thinking recently that it wouldn't be very hard to introduce a third level of powerups via scripting.

How about an RF Powerup that makes it have infinite range like in JJ1? Because I never find JJ2 RF useful outside of a few multiplayer situations, but JJ1 RF is infinitely useful(Especially on the harder difficulties).

I find powered RF useful against the Devan boss (2nd stage).

Usually, if I want to destroy Devan, I abuse Seekers, Bouncers, or the powered up Blaster, depending on what's available.
However, my Jazz playstyle is unique in many ways, so maybe I'm alone in my lack of interest in the way RFs work. But my primary reason for not liking it is that the range is way too tiny.

Robo: RFs have a much, much larger range if you move horizontally while firing them.

Terrible idea: palshift the fastfire sprites in accordance to the player's gun color.

I take it the "wouldn't be very hard" only applies if it's a single player level.

I was thinking that if some shield bullets were to be replaced with custom behaviors, they would work with jjPLAYER::fireBullet.

You'd need to use jjPLAYER::hurt, though, since bullets can't do more than two damage without DA turned on.

For me, the color change to toasty power-up crate is game-breaking... Light blue and red looked better! Plus is meant to fix bugs, but instead plus takes away what made Jazz2 a good game to start with. Sike nää, I'm just trolling a bit, sorry.

Anyway, Borgia posted the following on JJNet, I think people in this thread would like to read Borgia's comment:

Quote:
noticed there is also a 'Turbo'-difficulty for Single Player, and I like that new challenge emo. There are some bugs, though. For instance, the game does not play the boss themes anymore. Everytime I encounter a boss (for instance the queen or the Schwartzenguard), the game continues playing the level theme.

There's also an error in the level Suburbia Commando, which didn't occur before. At some point in that level (somewhere at the beginning), you must break through a wall and then go down, through eight star-blocks. There are some green gems straight ahead in that building, and an invisible wall. If you shoot that wall and enter, you are supposed to go up to access a secret place you otherwise can't reach (without cheating). There are some red springs, red gems and a gold coin (you reach the coin and some of the gems from below if you're Spaz). What happens instead, though, is that you go sideways, through everything and eventually you disappear from the screen. You can't stop it, so you have to reload a previous save. I'm sure this isn't supposed to happen.

#2 happens because the Sucker Tube in question has had "Trig Sample" set to 2 (for no reason at all), which is equal to setting "Become Noclip" to 1 in JJ2+. Not much can be done about it other than editing the level, sorry.

I can't reproduce #1.

...JJ2 absolutely has a sprite-drawing mode tailor-made for this very purpose and I never thought of it.

Hi guys!

I have problem with the Mouse Aiming. The Mouse Aiming is don't work in Single Player mode, because I'm vainly switch on the Mouse Aiming option and switch to Kbd/Mouse control scheme the game is doesn't care about it. Thanks if you can fix it.

That's working as intended. If you consult the readme, you'll notice there are in fact two separate settings, /mouseaim and /allowmouseaim. You can turn on the first one at any time in any gamemode, but the second one must be turned on by the server or (in a local game) the level. Otherwise you'd be able to use the mouse in any level you pleased, completely messing up the gameplay.

You can use mouse aim in SP freely if you host the level in a local coop server. (It has some unwanted side effects but you're already changing the gameplay, so whatever.)

Sorry again for trolling, I just have to report some bugs.

Playing CTF online with mouse aim:
-I switched mouse aim off and I couldn't chat anymore. Turned mouse aim on again and could chat again
-At one point during some 3v3 randomly, I suddenly couldn't use any keyboard controls at all (mouse controls still worked) and had to close JJ2 and rejoin

Keys randomly stopping to work... have you checked the batteries of your keyboard? (if applicable)


Sorry, lame question! Couldn't resist But you never know...

Anyway, if that's not it, then hmm, interesting =)

Hi guys. I bumped into a problem when I was writing a custom gun script. When noFire is True, AS won't let me test for keyFire. Can you please solve this one for me? Thanks in advance...

That's how it works, yes. If you don't want keyFire to be disabled, don't set noFire to true.

Can't you just check if their ySpeed is near 0 and they have a masked pixel underneath them?



This reminds me, I've been thinking it would be good to refill Spaz' double jump when he touches the ground, instead of when he jumps. It's rather annoying when I want to walk off a cliff but have to jump straight up first.

I didn't mean "jumped and landed", just jumped. For example, Spaz doesn't need to reach the ground to perform his double-jump.

I know. The method I described is for detecting whether or not they just jumped. If they're on the ground, they didn't just jump. Once they leave the ground, you can check ySpeed to see if they actually jumped or just walked off a cliff, etc. Obviously there are further details (players aren't 1 pixel thick etc; you wouldn't actually want to use jjMaskedPixel, because of platforms and such) but surely you can figure those out.

I'm also confused as to what you intend to do with this information in the first place...

Perhaps a script which fixes Spaz's double-jump? Or gives Jazz/Lori a double-jump?

You'll get a plus that works with AngelScript when your issue with AngelScript is fixed. You are only the one who has this issue. So, to fix it, we can only rely on testing specific things with you to find out what is the problem. Doing this via this forum will be weird, you can add me on Skype and we can try to solve that problem.
