Hehe, sorry about the shining through areas. The thing is the color that is supposed ot be there was so similar to the transparent color that when i loaded the HH98 palette it changed the transparent color to that color (which made nothing transparent). Soooo, I replaced it with pure black and that made those other colors transparent. It was a real pain, but anyways, that’s the story :)
Why doesn’t the bridge collapse, that’d make it better..
It you are gonna put candy canes in the walls and floors, you might as well make them h-poles and v-poles..
Too many vines.. that weren’t grabable vines.. decreased visibility..
The R in the background doesn’t look quite right…
I’d say more, but I think this was not really intended to be a good level, just to be a level devoted to Cmdr Dats.
A decent (though not great) level by Disguise. I feel the edit of the tileset didn’t fit (made the level unplayable as Aiko noted.) The layering was sorta awkward, and a few other minor bugs.
CONCLUSION: Eh, I dunno. You decide rather to download or not.
Btw, love the music, even though I used this waaay back on a level I released on UJ. ;-)
About 500 Jazz2 fans out there and theres noone who wants to rate levels. Sigh. But hey, if nobody wants to review it, i will do.
This level is special because its actually a dedication to Cmdr. Dats for his birthday. Nice idea, but unfortunately i have no clue how to rate it. Besides, why the heck did you choose the HH98 tileset if Dats’ birthday is in early November? Bad idea.
The design (open and round) and the eyecandy are pretty good as always in Disguises levels. But alas there is this big "Happy Birthday" message in the background that was edited into the tileset (thats the only change btw) and makes the level pretty unplayble. Another minor flaw i found is that the author obviously had trouble with his palettes. In some places the background shines thru’ objects (e.g. trees) so that it seems like he accidentelly used the transparent color there.
Now, to mention something good: THE BACKGROUND MODULE IS TERRIFIC!!! Well, its from Finland and you know, those guys just rock! Listen to it! Incredible! 10 Minutes long!
But all in all, i am completely undecided. I’ll give low 6 points for now. Maybe i’ll change the rating once in a while :-)
gasp he remembered! or was that icq?.. :P anyways, tyvm.. nice thought… :) just a little confusing, the level itself.. but hey.. :)
Whoa, now that I look at it, I have my average amount of typos there. It’s Commander Dats :)
Oh, just another message for the birthday boy :)
Ryan just phoned me, and he says to tell you happy birthday and such (his nt is down so he couldn’t email you). You also wanted to know about staying at his house for a while. Well, it’s fine :) His parents said for about 4 days max or something. Anyways, enjoy the day :)
Nice tileset, you could do a lot of levels with this pretty cool tileset. Music was good, but not the best.
It’s a Disguise release! What else to say? Seriously: “Weird Capture” is a pretty good Capture the Flag level that uses the “Psych” tileset (which i dont like much but it isn’t used very often so its quite original) and has very good design. The layer work is also pretty cool and, again, kinda original (dang! blame it on my VERY limited english vocabulary ;-).
All in all a great thing that everyone should DOWNLOAD NOW, esspecially the CTF fans around here.
“Disguise” is just the south african word for “quality levels” i think.
Another very nice level by Disguise. Unlike most vertical levels, I had no problems navigating with Jazz. The eye candy is great and I don’t have a big list of problems. I DO, however have a small one. :-)
The dead ends in some places got annoying. Remember to keep your design fluent.
Aside of that, a very nice level. All CTF fans should download NOW! :-)
Exceptional tileset by Disguise.
Has a 3D look and nice ways to use it, all shown in the cool example levels. The music used fits well into the levels and to put it into two words: DOWNLOAD NOW. :-)
Oh yeah, this really really rocks! This “Africa” tileset by one of my favourite level & tileset creators Disguise is a tribute to his “continent” (which is in a very difficult situation but thats an other story) and the landscapes down there.
It has all elements a tileset needs (like backgrounds, objects for the fore layers etc.) and really looks beautiful. The author also included five cool CTF levels (actually one level but using different background: lowlands, jungle, desert and night) that have very good design and eyecandy.
The background music is pretty “chiptunish”/demostyle so it has to be cool (Besides, it fits perfectly!).
To sum it up: this is a super l33t tileset and a MUST DOWNLOAD FOR EVERYONE interested in Jazz2 (high eight points!).
This is a very appealing level, not only does it have a good layout for an assault game, but the tileset’s cool too, and has been put to good use. :) I havent been able to test it with other’s yet, but the defense has a strong weapon advantage (which is good), and the map seems to be long enough to enjoy a 20 minute game (10-15 minutes if everyone knows the map well). Supplying an extensive story and history of the level pushed my rating beyond 9. I also like your music selection (though I know how it feels to not find the PERFCET track ;)).
Someday I’ll host this at JDC.
UPDATE: After getting a chance to play the level with others, I strongly recommend you play with at least 6-7 people (defense should have advantage), and everyone should know the level very well.
Pff how complicated ;)
i think it’s cool!
can ya contact me via icq (74061061) i want to ask ya something about the tileset.
Haha, use jjnowall. There are no single player start positions in the level so when you try test it in single player you will end up over there. The reason for this is that a single player start position can be for both red abd blue teams, and putting one in might have the wrong person respawn at the wrong place.
yes but you know the bit where u start, the boxed in bit? how do u get out of that?
Here’s what you do:
Get TNT, go down, and destroy the blocks with the cracks in them with the TNT, then you destroy the crates at the two opassages going down. These two crates will open the passage that goes right from the blue base. There you have it, easy huh? :)
I have no uidea why you can’t use the tileset. Everyone else I know hasn’t complained about this yet. It could be tht you have a small PC cuz it’s a 200kb tileset. That’s all i can think about.
I LIKE THIS LEVEL A LOT
IT HAS A WICKED TILESET, (BY THE WAY CAN I USE IT ON MY LEVELS??) AND THE TILESET/WEAPON PLACEMENT IS GOOD!
ALTHOUGH I COULDNT GET OUT OF THE BEGINNING BIT NOT A BAD LEVEL!
THING IS I COULDNT GET OUT OF THE BOX AT THE BEGINNING, SO I HAD TO USE JJNOWALL!
TELL ME HOW TO GET OUT OF IT!!
This level rocks
Good eye candy
Good layout
The best assult level so far!
Nice tilset too
I WOULD download this fast!
