Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

ET, latest suggestion: Now that you’ve made all these nice changes, could you be persuaded to reupload the file?[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

im not gonna rate this but only say that:
What is this? the help option dont help cause its very confusing. (Never used a palette before, but how hard is it?) I try to understand what tis is but I cant understand. no readme for new users. need some improvement. can u pherhaps give some tips about how this work? It wouldnt get a high rating form me, thats sure. =(

Thanks mate, i was trying to think of what other objects are effected by the palette colours that arn’t the normal jj2 colours. I’ll add those in the next version ( btw u can simply edit the pcx image and put some other stuff in there ). I’ll try to make compatability for other pal files but its not easy. I’m reading from bytes and stuff so i don’t know how to detect different pal types. Paint Shop Pro 7 is a simple text file…wish microsoft had made it that simple. If you can send me a photoshop palette file to et_jazz2@hotmail.com i’ll get working on it. I’ll add a ‘shift + right click’ or something for a deselect array unless you can think of an easier way of making it user friendly.

help option dont help cause its very confusing.’
^^
I\‘ll have to work on that, make some more articles, add in some stuff for explaining what tilesets are why palettes are used. I was in a rush while i made the help file.

Violet

‘Can\‘t load palettes created by any program other than itself.’
^^^
The pal format I used is the ‘microsoft palette’. When you export a palette from PSP 7 you can change the file type to be a microsoft palette. But i will add some more file types to the list, like PSP 7 pal, photoshop pal, bmp files, ect.

‘No option for viewing palettes in their normal order’
^^
common mate this is for Jazz Jackrabbit, why would you want the normal order ? I thought by categorising colours it would make it easier for people.

‘You have to press enter after changing the RGB values to set the color, and even then it only works if Red is the value with focus’
^^
yeah i made it that you had to press enter, i’ll change it if it makes things easier. Sorry about the ‘Red is focus’ bug, just made a mistake, will easily be fixed.

‘It’s not like there\‘s only one place to put textured backgrounds…’
^^
I always thought it had to be in that location so that the level will run ok in 8 bit.

‘Help file: Effects Tool Press this button to confirm the changes you made to this animating tile’s properties. doesn’t make very much sense’
^^
LOL!!! LMAO! I used the JCS help to get the same layout. Forgot to paste some text in there i guess.

‘Nothing telling you which palette slot is selected’
^^
Um…isn’t there a white outline around the selected slots?

‘No way to get a Negative Color effect’
^^
Why would you want one ?

‘If you go into Choose Single Palette Color mode, JPS won’t remember which palette slots you had previously selected.’
^^
Ok i’ll put that in, sounds like a good idea. I was hoping no one would notice that they all got deselected :P

labratkid

‘The shortcut for SELECT NONE is the same as NEW FILE so if you press CTRL + N, you automatically start a new file without a prompt.’
^^
oops, ok i’ll fix that. And I’ll stick a prompt in there for ya.

‘You can\‘t open other palette files well’
^^
Jeez why did people have to make their own Pal format, what was wrong with the microsoft one ?

‘Final rating: 5.5’
^^
Thanks mate! That sort of inspiration makes us programmers eager to code freeware stuff! :P

Na but seriously thanks everyone for making those reviews. If anyone finds any more bugs I will fix them ASAP. When i get round to making a proper credit screen in the ‘about’ I’ll place your names in there. If anyone has any suggestions on how to make this program better and easier for JJ2 tileset makers go right ahead and suggest them. But do remember i’m trying to keep this program small and Jazz 2 related. Unless its of a slight benifit to JJ2 tilesets, I an’t programming it.

Alot of comments i’ve read are about that you can’t import other palettes. Well you can, but they have to be the ‘microsoft format’. When your saving a palette in another program theres often an option for what type of format ( even though they have the same extension) you want the palette to have.

Anyway I’ll add in some common formats like PSP 7 and Photoshop once i figure out how to read them. I’ll also add an import from PCX ( so using jj2 u can rip palettes out of other sets by taking screenshots ) and bmp.

Latest Update

[This review has been edited by ET]

This is great but it still could and should improve.
Make it so it previews snow and the pinball events too, cos now I still need to start JJ2 to check those.

With the right mouse button you select an array but there’s no way to deselect an array.

Make more “import palet compatibilities” (nice word huh) I use photoshop to make my sets.[This review has been edited by Pyromanus]

I want download it but i can’t find it

Awsome. Too bad it isnt for download anymore being that the site is down but I got to try it thanks to Violet. Unfortunately I lost it during a format of my HD but I rated this before. Just came back to remove all my nonsense. Anyways it’s a great game. Everyone should try it, just ask around on the JCF for it and hopefully someone nice will give it to ya.

Art: 10
You put alot of work into the art, and it’s very enjoyable. It just makes you want to keep playing it over and over.

Gameplay: 9.5
Very challenging game. But maybe too challenging? I dont know I kept trying this game and it was hard to get very far. But then again all great games take time.

SFX: 9
Some of the SFX was ripped and has somewhat a cut-out such as when you pick-up a coin. But other then that it was ok.

Sub-Total: 9.5

Bonus points for the movie.

Bonus: 0.2
Total: 9.7

Hmm….a better version. It has all or mostly all the tieles in the first onel, but lots of added tiles as well. As shown in the pack, you can make many types of levels with this and it is a fun tileset to use. The color and graphix are good, the tileset is also good, not agama type good, but good. The level with the moving spaceship was cool, and was used to describe the planet. There are lots of cool stuff here, and hopefully et will make more and more sets. Congratulations et and good luck

W-O-W

The talented ET has made another tileset, not as good as some of its companions, but still good. IT has acid lakes, metal technology, and strange purple ground which has a resemblance to the ground in jj1 nippius has. Although the color rocks, its a bit one typed as well and i just didnt like it very much, but it still rocks. To bad you didnt include how the planet looks from space =(

Hmm…..what a cool set

The colors of this rock, that green is so cool, and those waterfalls and fans. It feels one typed, for some reason. More color could of been used, only a few colors have been included, and i feel a lot more could of been in. But the texture is good, i didnt check for bugs yet, but i doubt there will be any. Nice pic included, the planet looks cool. You ppl should download this, this guy got talent.

WOW…………. COOL
cool tileset and i download this lvl forever! The lvl : that’s to bad MAKE SELF LVLS! cover not battle1 to etsplanet2battle2! thats bad! for noobs! i will not says that this tileset bad is , i will says that the lvls………… no good………agama . disquise . and other toppers make cool lvls . do you that ? then are you one of the best tileset and lvl builders ever. you tileset’s rating i a 9 and lvls a 7.not that i stop with downloading your tileset’s………. but , you most not covered battle1 make self lvl’s!!!!!!!

ET’s one of my favorite tileset builders. He’s almost better than Agama.

This tileset looks awesome, haven’t got more to say. Yay for ET.
