Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Nice and useful tool, god work / bra gjort, Dan :D

As already stated, there is another utility, “PackPacker”, that can also automatically pack levels, music and their tilesets into a zip archive. So what does this utility offer?

The Main thing this packer offers is user-friendliness. whereas Packpacker requires you to go into command prompt and enter a large string of commands. With Levelpacker, you drag and drop the level onto the app, specify a .zip name, and it does the rest.

(edit: The bugs I have mentioned have been fixed, so I have removed my comments about it =D )

The packer works beautifully, packing both tilesets and music, making your levels look professional. The ability to limit the packer to one level is interesting. I cannot imagine a use for it myself, but it is nice to have.

the ultimate improvement I would like to see to this system would be a GUI that lets you see a list of the files and the ability include/exclude files into the zip before you pack, similar to CD Burner applications.

overall, I must say that this is actually a improvement over PackPacker, and this is a tool all level creators should not be without.

Does the job perfectly.
I realy love the levellist function, makes it so much easier for me to update the ZA/ZE music file.

yeah, it is worked!

Download? yes!

I am puzzled. Under what circumstances would someone want to use this instead of PackPacker?

Hi,there is just ONE bug…..can u plz make it to where its as simple as copy-and-paste bcuz it takes 2 hours to do it bcuz my jj2 folder is SO big.

Not bad tool, sometimes if i will need to find a tileset for a level with password or I will just want to see what music is used in that level this tool can help me. And ofc, thats really nice that i can copy some levels to other file. Gj anyway.

A solid program, simple yet performs it’s tasks very well. Definately does save time finding all tilesets/music to go with levels when compiling a pack, and is a nice thing for anyone to have.

EYECANDY
7.5
I don’t like the using of Layer 6 or Layer 7,not sure. Other parts of the eyecandy are alright.

GAMEPLAY
8.0
As Obi-Wan says,some parts of the level are taken from the others,including my level. But,you really helped with my level,so I don’t mind. Gameplay is fine,though there are some minor bugs.

PICKUPS
7.6
Solid ammo placement. Nothing more to say.

OVERALL

Please remove the links to the ilegal jj2.

Hello
Now i need to say some words too:

I know my bad english, but i think its not to hard to understand

We started developing the Tool on September of 2008, the first versions we had a lot of friends and a funny time, the first sever got be hacked, we started agian, the second too, now we are on the 3rd server, we use a better system, this new works without problems now.

But what i not understand why none of you understand the big diffrence to the + mp3 support, this support is quite not for single player games, its an additional tool for Online playing games, we choosen the ‘Secret Filed’ in Jcs to enter the title, the reason is:
This filed is not often used and no one who is not using the tool is really attaced.

So finally i think its better to play online with a streaming title from YouTube or the Server else to download a title choosen from the JJ2server witch needs 10 minutes or more (the most time is the sevrer with level cycling faster)

I’m happy to see some persons respect our work on this Tool and be quite more happy if you one day use it

Edit: I forgot to say, online I see more Servers using our Tool else using the + mp3 support (This is not a attack to + users or the developer its only a fact)

Marry Christmas
Sfaizst

Edit for PT32 (and others who are thinking so too):

Hmm, i hate to repead me, but i think you not understand me, the diffrence IS to play from youtube or a server, i personally hate it to hear no music from the server when I’m playing online, i have some mp3s on my Pc too, but when i wish to hear the mp3 or mod file the server selected i need a lot minutes to find it,… to download it and to implement it to my JJ folder, as well my so small disk space is going down too.

The JJ2mp3 support is smaller then 2Mb , so smaller as the most Mp3s you can find in the internet
(I know, we all have HDD problems, HDDs are the most time in new PCs over 250gb big but we have no place for a Tool what needs at this 250gb 0,0008% of it)

And as well i think this with the illegal content you can find in links on the readme or in this tool arent the problem here too, just look on the page of the list server digiex, go to the
Forum —> Games —> Jazz Jackrabbit 2 —> what do you see??

But finally i think you not want to understand it so no word what I’m saying here will change ur oppinion about this tool

So a nice 2009
(I really hope something will change 2009)

while this may seem like a good idea, it really isn’t.

What this Does
This is basically a utility designed to play live streaming MP3 or youtube audio over a server. It is however, poorly exacted. Why would i want to use this? Jazz2+ supports MP3 already and even in I’m using the normal version, I think a regular song would work better. I know this came before MP3’s were in Jazz2, but even so, I shouldn’t really want to use this. It’s an inconvenience to have another window open along with anything else your running. The library does have a lot of songs to it, but I don’t really like a lot of them. I may be wrong, but haven’t I seen some of these songs uploaded to J2O? The youtube thing doesn’t really add anything. The one thing that really rates this down is the fact you gave out links to places where you can download ALL version of Jazz without permission.

Overall, I don’t really see the point in this download and I think using Jazz2+ or searching for a song on J20 or Mod archive is a better choice. No download recommended and please take down those links!

I see no point in this upload.
It is no different than the latest JJ2+, infact it’s worse.
I wouldn’t normally do this, but the fact that you put an illegal link to JJ2 in your level IN MULTIPLE PLACES disgusts me.
For this reason, I will give you a negative dl rec, and a rating of 1.3, because it could be usable by some inconceivably long stretch of imagination, but is a terrible waste of disk space. I hope the admins will remove such content from J2O.

Just to make it clear that this is NOT an attack in any way on djazz. I simply see no good in this download.

Edit: to Sfaizst:
But the point is…There IS no difference between this and JJ2+, because JJ2+ ALREADY provides mp3 support! I don’t even use Youtube, and having more windows open simply makes the game even slower. I see no point, and cannot recommend a download! Thank you for your politeness though.

————————————-
I’m not even going to try to argue this point anymore, because it’s going nowhere fast. Thanks for your courtesy, but we shall have to agree to disagree.

I don’t really know how to rate this, but I can’t really understand what the benefit of being able to stream music in JJ2 is. The streaming server is not always online apparently, and the result is that whether a level using this will actually have music is mostly a gamble. This is not what you’d want when creating one. You also need a permanent internet connection and the tool needs to run alongside JJ2. I think spending 10 minutes on browsing modarchive for a suitable song, or downloading the MP3 you want to use, is a better idea.
