Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Here’s the explanation of the gamemode, taken from my Gamemode guide, for the ones who don’t know how to play and aren’t familiar with MFC levels.

MFC

Medieval Fighting Classes. As long as there are 2 people or more, the amount of players doesn’t matter. Host can play, but sometimes that will mess up triggers, so it’s not recommeded. In the start of the level you can choose between some ‘jobs’ (at least 2). Every hole has different advantages and disadvantages. Every job has a warp in the start of the level, with trigger zones. One trigger zone to make you fall into a different jail-like room instead of the start room again, and the trigger zone that matches with your job. That job-trigger zone will also open up one warp for you in the jail, so you can come back into the battlefield after you died, as the job you were. So choose carefully which job you want, you’ll have to stay it until you leave server or until the level changes. (Almost) every level has a different set of classes/jobs so it’s not very practical to write a list of the possible jobs here. When making a MFC level, let your imagination go wild (yay), you could work with different themes, for example a rainforest, with a woodcutter, a greanpeace activist, a forest ranger and a native. You also have to think of the advantages and disadvantages for each job when making a MFC level. In MFC levels, every job has different places he can acces and places he cannot (trigger zones). For example, a knight can go into the castle, but is somewhat limited in dark caves (blocks are preventing him from entering too deep), while a ninja can’t even leave the cave. Each different job should have different ammo as well. My first MFC level: “Cracco Medieval Fighting Classes”.

Trafton -> There are no waiting times, it’s MFC, you can proceed to the arena at once.
Blackraptor -> There are no coins, it’s MFC, not SFC. And I’ll count later. :P Probably around 10..[This review has been edited by CraccoBoy]

Disclaimer: I am in CC, but will not allow my rating to be swayed by this fact.

This is an interesting pack of levels based on the semi-new gametype. It’s similar to a tournament, and makes use of several old concepts. The levels themselves are standard fare. Since they aren’t really that big, grading on my normal scale would bring a harsher-than-deserved verdict, so I decided to change the way I grade for any levels (CraccoBoy’s or otherwise) using this new gametype. This is a very good pack, and a recommended download. Keep up the good work and continue to make new levels using this intersting gametype.

Not bad at all. A pretty interesting tile set overall. I admit that some of this is ripped, but ripped isn’t always bad.

The trees look very nice and I assume are hand-drawn. While I’m not sure what “Haggard” is, this tile set seems to have many different kinds of areas all mixed into one tileset, which is both good and bad for it. It’s good because levels using this tileset have possibilities to be extremely varied but bad because what it does, it doesn’t necessarily do best.

I made a quick level out of this, and the mask was annoying, but generally forgivable. The other elements of a good tile set were there, and I especially like the background.

I’m disappointed about the ripped tiles, but didn’t downgrade too much for them. It was mostly due to masking problems.

However, this is an excellent tileset regardless of the several problems it has and is worth your download. And, yes, that is a download recommendation. ;-P

Download recommendation.

But since I’m in CC, I won’t rate it.

See my review in the main file.

Anyways, you can make some really nice eyecandy with this tileset, download recommed.[This review has been edited by Moonblaze]

I put names of my own tilesets on those signs because I like them more than the default JJ2 tilesets. I’ll upload these tilesets with a sign for ‘party casino’ and a sign for ‘haunted church’. :D I probably won’t reupload it though, it won’t be a big enough update.

Like the rest of your work, it’s very cute yet difficult! ^_

Hey, Can put your work up on Silly Wabbits?

I can’t really stand this pack… but It’s okay I guess. I wouldn’t really recommend it though, thus the 6.7. [This review has been edited by primordial]

This is crazy!!! But I like it.
Only BIG problem is the last part. Even the wacko of the wacks couldn’t finish this I think.

Well, okay, I found the first few things okay, but the foo and freeze were crap, and once I beat freeze I got an error and jazz crashes. I could save, but I could’t load the saved games cuz then Jazz crashes. So I can’t really rate this, but for what I’ve seen I’d rate it something like 6.

I’ve never been a huge fan of treasure levels, and “Cracco Gemz” is not going to change my view on them. However, I have to say that this is an above average (but not significantly so) treasure level. Calling this level huge is an understatement. This level has more wide open space than Enron has disgruntled stock holders. There are plenty of gems, which makes it good for quick games, but the level usually tends to end up in a simple rush to be the first person to get to the ending spot. While some people may like this approach to treasure games, it does kill a lot of the strategy that is involved in treasure, and negatively effects my rating. Because of this levels gigantic size, it appears that little attention was payed to eyecandy. There were very few tile errors, but that’s not saying much because of the small amount of eyecandy this level contains. This is a treasure level that takes no risks in ingenuity or ideas. It’s old-fashionness can often be a pitfall more often than it is a good thing. It’s worth a download if you are a treasure fan, but if you aren’t, don’t waste a download. Treasure fans, all two of you, might like this level. A six from me, and no download recommendation.[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

I cannot rate this. For some reason I get app. error in the jumping test.
Help me fix this and ill gladly rate

Another one of the Very Nice levels By The-One-The-Only CRACCOBOY! Great Job CB, nice idea! Download reccommended if you like challenging tests, actually, i reccommend most levels by CraccoBoy B/C they have good ideas and they’re fun :P

Nice level & tileset. Im kinda pressed on time, so dont ask for details.

Trafton, the way you should beat Freeze is to make sure there aren’t even any items, just shoot them down. They’ll fall in the sucker tube. If you fall, however, you’ll hit them all again, and they’ll all be back. :P

Oh yes, I’ll probably use all the suggestions or ideas given for a sequal. There used to be some RF SCEs in BLASTZONE, but I had to remove them, because they did not always work, and SCEs usually create lag online.

Cazz, I will try. I tried uploading something at SW before, but I suppose it didn’t work, I thought it was a tileset.[This review has been edited by CraccoBoy]

A very nice testing level with a few annoyances, but likely not the best ever. The first level, Training, is an example of a great training level. It’s simple, skill-based, and introductory, and prevents a smooth translation to the final tests. With the possible exclusion of “FOO,” these tests are all skill-based, which I really like. My only complaint is that the whole thing is a bit short, and the “Freeze” level can be aggrivating and you can cheat by going before the items reginerate if you are really lucky.

All and all, a great testing level and a definite download recommendation. But it still is only a test level, and is nothing amazing. Download recommendation for test fans and an overall 7.7 score. Yay.[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

I’ll admit, I was skeptical Craccoboy could turn out a good test after TaD and Cracco Practice. I was kind of right.
Training is easy enough. Jump from one hook to another.
Arrow’s about the same, only there are a few sucker tubes.
Turbulance is annoying, because although it’s filled with wind and floatups, there’s no indication of where they are, no fans or anything. You have to keep going through until you know where things are, and even then, you must battle the force known as Momentum, when the wind suddenly stops. Not to mention the orange warps, which are the same color as the area of the textured background they’re over, so I had to turn off textured background for it.
Foo has invisible walls. However, it’s still relatively easy to figure out where they are, which I guess is why it’s called Foo.
I hate Freeze. To really be able to see in it, you have to have 16 color one, which causes lag. Even so, the balloons and freeze enemies are close to invisible. But if you’ve ever wanted to vent rage on freeze enemies, this is your chance.
Illusion was probably the best, not to mention one of the two I appreciated. Walls keep appearing and disappearing, so you must time your jumps.
Bounce was odd, as despite it saying Spaz was the required rabbit, I found I could only do it as Jazz. But it involves pinball flippers, bumpers, and balloons. Of course.
Avoidance was Annoyance, as you must avoid the balloons. What exactly balloons are is obviously open to debate, as you can get hit by not going near them, while not hit when you’re right next to them. Remember, balloons must be at least three tiles apart to go between them.
Warped was Training, only with more warps that textured background must be turned off for.
Darkness (not dorkness) was the other one of the two I appreciated. It’s generally dark (dark green, for some reason), except every so often a light flashes and you see the next balloon or something.
Blastzone was boring. I’ve seen more original uses of TNT and Bombs in a foo race.
And in Invl, you must find the INVISIBLE balloons. Joy. Fortunately, none of the balloons are too far apart, nor in places that make no sense.
The whole thing, with one or two exceptions, was kind of easy.
Some things that could have added to the enjoyment were balloons that appeared and disappeared, SCEs (for people playing online) and trigger scenery.
I’m undecided on a rating, as I haven’t eaten today and am thus likely to rate anything too low. I’ll probably come back to it later.[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

Okay, The whole level is just only balloon. Balloon here, ballon there, and you are ready (Not me, is suck at this, but okay.)

Very orginal ideas, the tileset rock for it, really, and: “Every non-ready-rook can beat this” -Craccoboy
So, Just download this with a evry evil grin that you aren’t a not-ready-rook.

Edit: oops it is non-really rook so do that then :D[This review has been edited by Taz]

A very nice tileset if I do say myself.

The eyecandy in this tileset is interesting. The only part that annoys me is it being vertically-oriented. Other than that, it’s an outstanding tileset with some interesting levelmaking prospects.

Download recommendation.
