Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

This is good. =) I can’t do tilesets =(

[Review changed to quick review. ~cooba]

The tileset can be opened easily with 1.24’s JCS under the name setol, although the example level is saved in such a way that it tries to open the tileset with the old name, and crashes. The example level also has no Jazz start, so by clicking save and run, you get stuck in a wall when you spawn. However, this upload is about the tileset, not the example level, so it will not be included in the rating.

Eyecandy: 5/10
What this set has is quite nice looking. The massive amounts of pink and green could get boring pretty fast, but all of the skeletons and flowers look very nice. The set’s main problem is its small size. It has nothing at all for layers 1,2,5,6, or 7. Layer 8 does have several options, but a textured background would be a great addition. There is only one basic pink tile, that has been copied and drawn on, which makes walls a bit boring. Just having two or three of these that could be alternated would allow way more combinations. The other problem with the tileset is that it tends to be much too square. The edges of platforms are simply straight lines, and gives the level a very artificial feeling. Jagged tiles that could be used as walls and ceilings would allow a level maker to create a much more natural looking setting.

Usability: 8/10
The set is small and well organized, so any tile can be found with ease. Levels could be made quite quickly and easily with this set. The masks were good too. The most important types of tiles are here too. However, it does lack some potentially useful tiles, such as destruct tiles for other guns, and something to explain warping.

Originality: 7/10
I have not seen any other set with this concept before. However, none of the individual parts are that unique. Buried bones have appeared in tilesets before, as do flowers, grass, a tree, etc.

Misc:
Contains readme and screenshots +1
ReadMe is named Readme, so it tries to overwrite Jazz’s standard readme. -1

Total Score: 20/30 = 66.7% = 6.7

The set is fairly nice, and proves that Bartek has the potential to create something amazing. However, I do not expect this particular tileset to be widely used.

i cant use this on my other pc too, i think its because i change the name form te tileset change “Boneland” to “setol”

sorry, that i choose the 1.23, i have the TSF.

PT32, thanks for your review, my next work will be better and better

The blocks are pretty generic and plain. Which comes to my main about the tileset: the general lack of detail. All the tiles are too basic and lacking in versatility to create anything with it, nearly all the basic requirements of a tileset are not here, not even slopes. Also, the palette is messed up. I’d use a better program next time.

Um, well it DOES look like a MSpaint tileset. Quite usable but unfortunately, that’s just about all I can praise in the set.
First of all the colors are waay off. Now I do not know if this was intended or not, but it doesn’t seem to jibe with the rest of the set. The colors are pretty basicas is the layout+style+number of feasable tiles. There is potential for it, I readily admit. But only the really great designers could really hope to make notable levels with this.
There isn’t too much in the way of variety in graphics. Come to think about it, there’s not too much here period. But don’t panic, you don’t have to give tileset making up altogether [unless you stink worse than me :P]! You have some good ideas, having got all the basic essential blocks [blast’ems, thorns, vines, a “cave” tilegroup, bg], and you made it quite easy to tell what each one was. The example level did,I’m afraid, strike out for the reason that you seemed to just throw stuff in to show people what to do with it. I would actively seek out the advice of veterans such as Agama, Disguise, Blade, CelL, BlurredD, to name just a few. They could greatly helpyou improve on what you already have. Add a little of what I call “fluff tiles”, which serve no purpose but to provide new eyecandy opportunities. Make a better example level, or get someone to do it for you. But don’t let a miniscule setback like this stop you. Just keep trying, and wow us all off with your next great work.
I’m afraid I’ll have to give a no-dl rec, because it really would be a tad bit crazy trying to use it well, but I will give you a 6.0, for trying so hard and for having the guts to let losers like me review your stuff. And to all those people who will doubtlessly say “why even put this crud up?”, I respond “because everybody starts somewhere.” Just because it’s not too hot doesn’t give you the right to say he’s a bad drawer. We were ALL this bad once, remember?

why don’t people still get what version they have…
