Lol, ''XLM Woods - Far East ~ Dx''

What about including also music for the levels?

It's being worked on, don't worry.

I have ISSUES.

1. ab9btl17.j2l causes an access violation
2. ab9ctf07.j2l causes an access violation
3. The tileset is missing for ab9ctf09.j2l
4. Most importantly of all, not a single level uses one of my tilesets :(

The missing set is Cheq3 according to FireSword. I got an access violation on that ctf level by paul with odyssey and some doomish name too.

Nah, Cheq 3 was provided in the level's pack. I just checked.

I feel like commenting...hmm let's see...

I think this year is a bit disappointing, and things were rushed and lazily done.
Where's dethroned, The Chasm and Superconductor?


Battle Levels

1. Secret Base: ID 20516 ~ DarkSonic - This looks a lot like sanctuary.

2. Forest Awakening ~ Cooba - This one has an interesting background in my opinion.

3. The Temple of SUFFERING ~ P4ul - Seems like a newer version has been
released, but all I notice is a music change.

4. The Highlands ~ OLsen - Kinda abstract with the background, and an interesting music choice.

5. First Boredom ~ DarkSonic - Transparent blocks?

6. The Dismal Palace ~ Cooba - I think this level is a bit underappreciated. It has this dark, yet smooth
atmosphere. The layout encourages seeker spamming though.

7. Action Attic ~ BlurredD - Really liking the subtle atmosphere. The level lacks a definite theme though.

8. Hell's Angels ~ martin - No disrespect to martin's levels, but if classic levels are added, they
should be well known levels, otherwise there's no point in adding them as a classic. I've only seen this
level hosted about 1 or 2 times ever since I started playing jj2 online.

9. A Victorian Urban ~ Birdie - It's SUMMER! - I love calmness of this level, but it's a bit
lacking looks-wise in my opinion.

10. Romantic Landscapes ~ Snooze - Interesting theme, but it's a bit too busy for my tastes.

11. XLM Woods - Far East ~ Dx - The Heck?

12. Eastern Swampside ~ P4ul - A decent battle level....Let's see what else is there...

13. Ice Temple Ruins ~ Odin - I tested this level...It's fairly decent.

14. Unusual Pac Man ~ FireSworD - Stijn wanted 'fun' levels, so I just made something in a few
minutes.

15. PsychosiS ~ P4ul - I was expecting this to be one of those really big levels, but it turned out to be
quite the opposite, it's like a duel level.

16. Anarchy ~ BlurredD - A quite old level. I finally get to hear the music, which, in my opinion, is way
too heavy for this sort of level.

17. Fields of Gold ~ Quickz - It's a heaven level with haunted.it as the
music choice, and it somehow works out.

18. Sub-Terrestrial ~ Purplejazz - I love this level. Keep it up. Lovin' the music choice too.

19. An Uninspired Psych Level ~ Cooba - Seeker Spamming is king game-play here, and I hate how open
the layout is. I like the eye-candy though.

20. Apocalyptic END ~ BlurredD - Sometimes Blur will make something which seems to take
inhuman skill to accomplish. This level does seem inhuman, in the way a random level generator would
make it. It's pretty formulaic, because the floors have designated types of tile(s) and the eye-candy is the
same concept everywhere, and the layout as well. That aside, I really like the theme, realized greatly by
the music, and it would seem fun to go around casually pwning with fly carrots. However, I was a
bit underwhelmed here.


CTF levels

1. Helldome ~ EvilMike - A near perfect level in my opinion. It has a layout you can't
really complain about.

2. Fluid Surface Oscillator ~ Birdie - The music choice is sort of a stretch for this
theme in my opinion, but this an interesting and unique level.

3. Radiation ~ Snooze - Haha, cool. Snooze used the standard tile-set usage, and it
doesn't feel dead like most other levels using it in my opinion.

4. Perception ~ DarkSonic - Great tile-set, and the level-making here really
accentuates the look of it.

5. Personal Park ~ Sacrush - I already commented on this before.

6. Ice Cream Island ~ Birdie - This sort of base placement is interesting. I never really got a
chance to try this level competitively. The theme is smooth.

7. Tainted Heaven ~ Snooze - FLOATUPS! Oh, and the level seems like it should get plenty
of attention in the future. After all, Bashes help newer levels get noticed.

8. Fright Night CTF ~ martin - A classic, good choice.

9. Retribution ~ Wallace - I don't know if I like how close the bases are compared to the
rest of the layout.

10. Demon Rampart ~ P4ul - This level surprised me. He made the level have organic features, considering levels made with this set tend to
be quite the opposite. It's an accomplishment really.

11. Chlorophyll World ~ Enigma - An Enigmatic layout, but lacking a bit looks-wise in my opinion.

12. Very Stupid Floating Castle ~ Ragnarok - This level is like QQ in so many aspects, and the
layout takes some getting used to. The bottom area is interesting.

13. Significant ~ DarkSonic - Liking the music choice and bright atmosphere.

14. Toxin Twister ~ Cooba - Meh, I liked Middle drainer better atmosphere wise. The level has a
unique layout, and there are some interesting tactics here. Although I've noticed games become a real mess when lots of people are involved.

15. Abandoned Sidewalks ~ Quickz - I never got a chance to play a serious game here, so I wouldn't
know what to say about it, except there is one interesting game-play aspect added by the use of one-ways.

16. Atom Heart 243.5 ~ SuperJazz - Already made my thoughts clear on this one.

17. Cloud Connected ~ OLsen - Enough with this music already :P Anyway the level is quite...Pink

18. icsurreal ~ Cooba - What?

19. Nitrosity Alternate Palette ~ Violet CLM - I have no idea what that title means, but
once I saw the level seemed to be synchronized with the music choice, I knew it was a Violet level.

20. The Death Facility III ~ P4ul - AGONY! Oh man, I love this level. Once again P4ul makes
a seemingly organic looking level out of a set not meant for that purpose, and this level looks quite
surprising in that aspect. This level looks like a lot of fun, as long as the chaotic look
doesn't translate into the gameplay as well. ;)

On the J2O front page it says Anniversary Bash 9 -- April 6th, 17.00 CET. What time zone is CET? I'd appreciate knowing what time it is in UTC.

Hurrah! *leeches!* ^____^

~Talec

Looking forward to it! :D

I like to know what please.

thanks for commenting earlier while we were doing the pack.....

Hell's Angels \o/

I didn't get too enthusiastic about the rest of the levels. Oh well, the Bash will probably be fun anyway.

Reuploaded all three packs.

Downloading them again is necessary.

What he said ^^

Stick to the Universal time zone.

Heck im suppose to be hosting it, and I dont even know what CET is and what time you want me to start it in GMT/UTC.

Eh, I was testing my screen capturing setup in the Bash Test server earlier and when trying to follow another player I accidentally chose "Chat as other player". Now I get kicked off everytime I rejoin. Any chance this can be reverted?

61 players online! :D
Too bad they can't all be in the same server.

heh oh well. 10 years is a much nicer age of JJ2 to have GF in the bash the first tome ;p

*joins the Battle bash server*

EDIT: wth? it's pinging?

So I don't know why everyone is using strange time zones but I put in some images into there to tell people when things start. Please feel free to edit the images to fix any time mistakes I may have made. Note that the input time to the image is in GMT!

And if anyone wants to make my images formatted a little prettier go ahead -- I have to run and don't have time to format it to follow styles.

11. XLM Woods - Far East ~ Dx - The Heck?

Explain please xD.

And why is that level in the Bash :O? xD

Not anymore. It was replaced with The Chasm, which was almost forgotten.

Soooooooooooooooo... what programs do I need to play all these fancy new unofficial gamemodes?

... and of course my router refuses to co-operate DURING the Bash...

None, it's all handled by the server.

I can still win games! It's not all bad... :(

Yeah but there was like this teamgame and I had no idea who were my teammates. =/

I don't think there have been any teamgames yet. In roast tag you do not have team mates. I don't think there has been any team battle but I might be wrong.

There hasn't been any teambattle, indeed.

If I might ask here, what's the purpose of the Bottom Feeder?

Oh, and I fixed my router for now, as you might have seen tonight. I can still win, it seems.

The bottom feeder is there so that you can get points without having to kill the "it". For every roast the bottom feeder makes, they get one point.

Aaaaaah that would explain. At one point the server thing said Friendly Fire is now OFF or something and I though I'd been shooting me teammates. :)

Thanks

This is not for the contest, it's not good enough for that ;p

Right, that clears a lot up. But, sorry to be a bother, how does one become the bottom feeder?

By having the fewest roasts and most deaths. Typically, the first bottom feeder is the first player that gets roasted.

BlurredD could you please make stripping the names of all colors optional in the next release :(

contest?

hey fellow RR parter , that looks great.

Note: I swapped CTF levels #18 and #19 to avoid Divide by Zero error coming up as Death Facility III (#20) loads.

Apply this fix if you have already downloaded the level pack.
