New clan 0c9 - March 12th 2014
Source: JJ2
Greetings jazzers,
just wanted to announce that my new clan 0c9 is currently recruiting Slayer and Hakum to play 3v3 ladder on JJnet.
There’s no information on when the recruitment process will be able to take place – but when the clan ladder reaches its next season, there will be a continued potential for the development of this story.

Greetings from UOI!
All pleasantries exchanged, I’m not allowed to post a download link to the game, but I wanted to post an advertisement for a new compilation of JJ2+.
This version of JJ2: The Secret Files has restricted access for Windows 8 and above, so it won’t be possible to open without Windows 8.
However, UOI mega games has managed to implement a revised audio formatting menu, a backward-compatible splash screen, reduce the amount of power JJ2 needs to run, and a surprise non-beneficial icon for the game itself.
Please contact UOI megagames for more details about where to get a free download link for this game, if you have Windows 8 and are interested in expanding your JJ2+ runtime library.
Have a good time speling,
——- Krsplat (Anglo-Saxon english practicioner)

It’s a cliche but girls love to buy cloths and dress up. The girls from FemaleGamers.nl made a Dutch tutorial in how to dress yourself as Jazz Jackrabbit! This including where to buy and what!
Pretty nifty for all the Eva’s and Lori’s out here!

Level contest - August 10th 2013
Source: JJNet forums
EDIT: The deadline has been extended to September 5th.
From JJNET:
JJNet ladder season 8 is approaching and with it come as always changes to the mappool. This time, however, we are holding a contest where brand new levels can make it into the mappool. The best three maps (supposing there are three that meet our quality-standards) as selected by the admins will be added to the mappool on a temporary basis for the next season. As the season progresses, when a clan reaches 50 points, a vote will be held to determine whether those maps are to be kept in or removed from the mappool.
What are we looking for? Mostly the same things as in most level making contests.
These are the rules :- We are looking for CTF levels (a contest for the multi-ladder might well be held at another time)
- The level must be playable in 1.23. (If you are going to convert the level from 1.24 afterwards, make sure you pick a tileset that works in 1.23 too.)
- Only new levels will be accepted. Edits of existing levels will not. If a level was started/finished before this contest began, it can however be entered if it was never officially published before.
- Only one entry per person. Collaborations are allowed, but they will count as a whole entry for each collaborator. This is meant to encourage people to focus all their effort on one level, rather than rush many. Quality over quantity.
- As long as the contest stays open, you are allowed to edit/fix/remake your entry as much as you want even after you have submitted it.
- Upload your level to Jazz2Online once you are finished, in order to make it easily available to everyone. Prefix the upload name with [JJnetS8].
- The level should be playable in both 2on2 and 3on3.
- The level should have at least decent eyecandy as usual. Most importantly there should be no distracting visual decorations.
- The level should be balanced. You do not need to make the level 100% symmetrical, but try to keep no team significantly advantaged over the other.
- All characters should be playable in the level (Lori too.) Flow differences between characters do not matter, but all characters should be able to reach all objects at least without needing to use tricks like walljumps.
- Try to make the level spacious enough so that there is room for players to dodge bullets for example, but still not too open, as that will increase “lag-dependency”, e.g. lots of long linear paths where players usually get “airhit” from afar (especially if the level contains a lot of seekers, thus avoid the use of Seeker Powerup.)
- For the same reason, add some slightly safer areas so that people have somewhere to hide for a second after they get airhits. However, don’t let the level become a campfest. Try to design base areas with thought.
- Originality is a nice bonus, but we are not looking for full gimmick-levels. Use of AngelScript is allowed, but again, try to not draw the gameplay too far from classic CTF.
You have exactly two weeks starting now on to finish and upload your entry. The contest will close on August 22.
