Heh. Overlord, you are not allowed to ask people not to rate your stuff ;P

If they don’t like it, they may give it a bad review. It is part of the system.

I actually like this program though, but I am not sure how to rate it.

I give it a download reccomendation.

Level rating: 7.7

The tileset was great, but the download type sais “battle”, and because of that I will only rate the level.

I don’t think it is too great really, and that is why I gave it a 5. Anything below 5 I consider bad, and anything above it I consider above average. So basicly, this level is average.

I may have given it a 6, but I really really hate how you have to go up with those airboards to get to the level. What is the point of that? The weapon placement in this level is OK, but it could be better. Same goes with the eyecandy.

I can’t say much more about this level. I don’t like the layout much at all, so you can’t get any higher than a 5 from me.

EDIT:

Ok, I have changed my rating to take the tileset into consideration. I am too lazy to edit my review itself though, so blah. The score has been changed from 5 to 6.5. I give the tileset a 7.5 and the level a 5. 6.5 is the average rounded up because I am such a nice person.[This review has been edited by EvilMike]

Level rating: 8.4

I like these conversions, and I may even use one if I feel like it. I will not give this a higher score however, because I notice a few problems in the tilesets.

The main problem is the masking. While it is good in the majority of them, some of them have what I call “bumpy walls”. What I mean by that is the masking on the walls is not completly flat. This can hinder the flow of a level because people don’t really like being able to cling to walls when they are trying to fall, and in extreme cases the player may even get stuck. It is usually best to make the masks of your levels as simple as possible by avoiding bumps and whatnot and trying to make every tile have smothe edges.

Another less noticable flaw is that the animated tiles do not quite match up perfectly, but it is hard to make them good, so I will not hold that aganst you too much. I also found that that two or three of the tilesets are a bit lacking in that they are missing a few tiles or don’t have destruct scenery.

Overall though, this tileset pack has some quality jazz1 conversions and it has earned a 7.5 out of 10 from me. I reccomend that you download this.

This tileset gets a very high score from me, and it sure deserves it. This tileset is based in evil disco land, and even though I hate that place more than anything in the world, it makes a cool tileset and level. I may actually use this tileset, just because it is so cool.

The only thing wrong with the tileset is that the textured background does not fully work.

Download this now.

HAH! TAKE THAT AIKO!!!!!!!

Ow. I’m going to sue whoever did the floor in my house.

Hm. In any case, I made a vow not to rate tsf products. Sorry but this review is pointless. I am just ranting.

I won’t go into much detail here, because I told you in your server. This level is pretty good. It has everything you need for a battle level, and a bit more. There are a few tiling errors though, and I have seen the level used better. The layout is ok, even though there are a few dead ends in some places.

A few suggestions I should give you, are to use trigger zones to close off the tubes so you can’t go in them the wrong way, and to fix some of the springs.

I really don’t think this is a level that deserves a higher score than a 7. The reason why this level didn’t get a 7 from me is because I was a bit dissapointed. I was expecting this level to be better than your previous tube electric level, and it wasn’t.

This still is a quality level though. It just isn’t anything award-winning.

Ice wolf’s Medivo conversion was probably a bit better than this one, as it had more tiles and destruct scenery blocks. Otherwise, this isn’t bad for a conversion. I wouldn’t use it though, because like I said, there is a better one out there. 6.5

The tileset was pretty much used properly, and the level isn’t ugly. Unfortunately, the layout needs work and the flow could be improved. One thing that greatly damaged the score was the fact that there are dead ends. I hate that. For a first battle level though, this is very good.

When you submit a tileset or level, please make sure you say which version it is. I have changed the download info so it sais that this download is TSF-only.

Thankfully you don’t have to jump out of any windows. This tileset works fine, and has no problems at all. The theme of the tileset is new, and I love the background even though it is simple. Overall this gets a 6.7, which isn’t bad. Keep making tilesets!

Problem fixed. Next time, I sugest not even using TSF jcs to compile a tileset. The tileset seemed fairly small, and it isn’t fair that it does not work in JJ2 1.23

The tileset doens’t really look much like a forest, so this doesn’t get as high of a score. The only problem I can find in it is that the masking on the tops of the trees is a bit compicated, and the same goes with the masking of some walls.

Everything is fine here, so I give it a 6.7. Not a bad score from me.

Actually, it does make sense if you think about it. The gameplay is quite different between the two levels.

I am impressed. While this level is merely avrage, it is quite rare for a first level to be that good. I was extremely suprised to see that you used the tileset properly for the most part. Keep working on levels, because I believe you are able to improve your skills beond what I have seen. Unfortunately, this level begs for a better layout, and it requires some usage of destruct scenery on the signs, one way events on the branches, and better eyecandy. I also sugest that you put a bit less text in your future levels, as they can get quite annoying.

I found it quite hard to move around in this level. Study the layout of better levels, and see what works. When you finish your level, be sure that you test it extensively to make sure it is easy and fun to play in. I sugest using more platforms.

This level doens’t really have anything totally unique in it, but that is OK because few levels do. You should keep making levels, and try to improve your level making ability.
