well fine then I won't upload it if you insist. :(

Jimbob: I like that window on the right. The curves work surprisingly well together.

because you're the sole factor deciding on what does violet upload and not upload

Here's a little update to my level: I hosted it earlier today and by popular vote people kept telling me the music doesn't fit. I need suggestions on what a better music file is than resp-z.xm that my level could use. Until I get any suggestions for the music file, I'm going to keep it as it is. And I'm sure at least some people don't want that, but I'm fine about the music right now. The music file is 'resp-z.xm'.

And my lesson for the day: Enjoy levels in their entirety. If you don't like a certain aspect of the level's design (gameplay, eye-candy, music, etc) then it's fine to tell the author about it; just don't go all out on them; that would be unwanted and uncalled for.

I'd agree and say the lighting is really nice but since I have no uploaded JJ2 achievements I apparently can't comment on eyecandy.

uh, what? I didn't say you couldn't, in fact, I said it was totally fine to comment. Just don't go all out on the author.

I think that wasn't directed at you in any way.

Also, rag might as well stop spamming.

sicne i found this cool site i thot it will b cool if i show my level i'm makin too!

sory i cant make a good screen shot :( but i thing that one is good enough.

I remember that from 4/5 months ago when I just finished that level ;)

I thought that Battleships was a bit overused, but the tileset use in the walls is pretty good. I've seen the rest of the level too and I think it has some good eye candy, but the layout is not too special and there are 3 carrots that are close to each other. It's unfinished, so there are still things to fix.

IM SORRY VIOLET I <33 YOUR LEVELS. upload plex <3

Someone's useing ultrawarp ;)

Have you any suggestions on music or do you think resp-z.xm is fine? ;P

yea im use ultrawarp cos its beter to test you're level wtih it cos if u dont do it then checking for bugs is slowly :( :( :(

but no one from you like my level? coment plzzzzzzzz

This is the best you can do? Try harder.
(This is not a comment on your level.)

Well for a test it's ok I guess. But if your makeing one make it more diffrent from those crappy 1.24 tests. Make it really good maybe add a story too it. And take a look at foo races thats one of the best test games (I think it falls under test) there is.

Also try useing diffrent tilesets what aren't used much , the tileset you are showing is used all the time. I'm sure if you use a uncommen one it will get more wows , (hint: If you need letters just edit the tileset and add letters in , with the program tileset , search it on jazz2online. and if you need a good graphic editor (free) use graphics gale its great for tilesets.)

Also don't always make every bit warp tiles think of other ways to make it fun. perhaps put in some puzzle's.

If we get more intresting tests i'm sure people will lik them more ;). Good luck.

Also try getting good at makeing battle and ctf's too.

Here's a little screenshot of my latest work:

Title won't be announced just yet.
P.S: Guess what contest this is for ;P
Won't reveal too much more of the level here; it will spoil it.

This is a screenshot of my brand new level with a unique gamemode called IDunno! It's Primary battle with suvivor & treasure tactics used in it.

I would need some betatesters sometime... So if you want to test a great new gamemode, just let me know...

Whoah, that layout is quite something! I'm sure it's not the finished one, though; I see some tiles on the left (platforms, methinks) that don't look finished. Still, gl with it! =D

One thing I immediately noticed and wanted to point out is that frog morphs don't work in multiplayer afaik. If I'm wrong... then you did not see this comment.

The level might as well be SP imo.

Updated Screenshot ;)
 

Updated screenshot for my level:

I see... more... flashing lights?

No. Guess what those are for. No flashing lights will be in this level afaik.

More tilebugs?

stop spamming jcf :)

What? Lol, those aren't tilebugs.

*hypno*OBEY... OBEY... OBEY...*hypno*
/sarcasm

Marshy Highlands: The name is revealed!

This will be my last screenshot of this level posted here as I don't want to spoil the fun of finding the stuff out before the the contest ends.
Also, looks WAAAY better in-game.
P.S: for those of you who were on my server earlier today, the amount of CPs has DRAMATICALLY decreased due to unplayability and matches that were waaay too short even with 255 as the max score. Plus, I've changed the music to something that fits waaay better. ;D

Anyway:

[img]http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/9216/yourlevelisbadandyoushovp4.png[/img]

1. Quit using layer 4 eyecandy in the background, especially if you use the same tiles in layer 4 later on. More of a nitpicking thing but still it can throw off perspective easily.

2. See that line? Every ground tile above it is one tile, and every ground tile below it is a different one, only exception being the gems. That's ugly. Fix that.

3. Throw in some gems. This is Diamondus. Gems. PUNCH EM

(this pic isn't meant to show much)

Why do I think this is the most spammy JCS thread ever right now?

Well, that can easily make the eyecandy twice as bland, especially because I'm not using it as a masked tile in the actual level.
Oh, yes I do.
Have you ever gotten sense knocked into you that maybe-
EDIT: Took out the negativity.

Jimbob, while what Odin said may have made you think he implied he did not like it, I believe he was merely suggesting on how to improve. Usually when I post screenshots, I post finished areas. I think if you work on what he said, he won't really have room to complain. He hasn't said anything bad, he said what I would have said actually, except provided picture support which was quite helpful. I would recomend removing that stick though. Maybe putting a vertical one or two can help. Also, he's only trying to help. - It still looks good anyway.

Also, Eigus, as whacko as this thread has become, I like the picture. :]. AND I DONT MEAN THE LEVEL!!! (yes I do actually)

Jimbob, if you don't want people to criticize your screenshots, don't post them!

Don't all turn on Jimbob now, he's only countering what has been said about him and probably providing justification as to what criticism he has recieved.

But if I'm wrong, in future provide finished screenshots that you want criticism if any on.

mediocre level makers like odin shouldnt be give stupid advice though :P

Odin is not mediocre and his advice was perfectly justified.

Ditto what Stijn said.


Ontopic: Eigus, I like how the CP circles around the light. 5 may be slightly too much though really, unless your level is really HUGE.

Cooba: is 150x100 enough for 5 CPs? yeah, I also like that effect with the light :--D i wasn't aware of that till i turned on /dom to take this screen ;p

Below is not a PA really I just find it funny.

Well, just nowadays it just feels like people like to bash my levels and no one else's *cough Cooba cough*.
Didn't mean to be negative though, that is just really annoying for me.
Anyways, yeah, it's all good now. ;D

I'm not bashing I'm CRITICIZING you for (-)'s sake! If all criticism is bashing for you then why do you SHOW people your unfinished levels?

Like I said... *sigh* :rolleyes:
Why are you always so negative?
Um, yes, but... it's getting less and less right now. It's almost like people just don't want me to make levels.
