Yay for contests
 

An another contest, far far simplier than always. Edit Battle1 in most imaginative way you could ever think of. The rules are :

• Only JJ2 levels allowed. (duh)
• No TSF.
• You must change at least two things in gameplay, like deleting shield or changing seeker PU to RF PU instead (just a few examples).
• You haven't to change tileset, but if you desperately dislike Castle, feel free to use something else.
• The secret room at upper right corner *MUST* stay.

September 18 6:00 PM GMT+1 is the deadline. No exceptions.

All the entries must be send by an e-mail or be hosted on your own website. Entries uploaded to Jazz2Online *won't* be accepted.

A prize? If being the edit hosted with the losing ones too on my server during some time count as prize for you, then.

That is all. GL HF EP, whatever EP does mean.

EDIT : Prior edits are accepted, too.

EDIT 2 : The rule of using two other layers has been deleted because most people didn't want to enter because using two more layers is a requirement (R3p in particular).

What do you mean by "use two other layers"? And do entries have to be made specifically for the contest, or are prior edits acceptable?

I wanted to edit B1, but I won't because I'm not gonna change anything related the eyecandy. Too bad. May I will make something for fun, though.

Yeah, I'm working on an edit, too. However, I'm using a different tileset, and I've only converted half of the level over to the new tileset so far, so it will take a bit of time. :P

I think i'll participate in this contest too.. i already know which tileset ill use, and how ill edit. :)

Okay, I have a question.

Can I edit the level a bit so that, for example, a platform that is 1 tile thick would be 2? And what about connecting the two parts hanging from the ceiling that have red springs (At 86, 59) on them to form one (Tileset restrictions)?

Sure. You can do anything you want/must do. You can even remove those pillars. You can do lot of stuffness with your edit! Creativity is always welcome.

In case if this contest confuses anyone, here's the example entry for the contest.

See, it applies to all rules in the contest:

• This remake, is in fact JJ2 level.
• It's 1.23.
• Seeker PU has been moved to the coin warp, so did the shield. The balcony where seeker PU previously was has been deleted, and the big wall has been enshortened. (sp?) I put some stuff there. Also, you will notice that seekers go through the purple tubes below that area and whatnot.
• Tileset changed to Labrat.
• Secret room is edited to actually serve its purpose with more convinience. Those powerups there are not deleted, and that's actually what I meant.

Enjoy my first 1.23 level, d00ds ;D

There. Prior edit, though I changed it a little bit just now for a few things like putting the secret room back in. It's not the best.

Cooba: When I've tried to download your file, it just says that my security settings don't allow it to be downloaded.

UR: Quite an interesting level you have there. It seems as though you have changed to much, that it's barely recognizable (Although it still is). :P About those flags, is that incase someone wants to host CTF instead of Battle? Just wondering.

Everyone: Here is a sneak peak of my edit so far:

Uh, did you see the level name? It's a CTF version of Battle1.

That's a good idea, but Cooba wanted to host ALL the levels together with the winner which is impossible now. :r

I'm completely finished with the conversion to another tileset and started making edits. :D

That's what I was thinking. :P Ah well, I suppose that level will still work in Battle.

I'm in. The only problem is I don't have 1.23 JCS. Cooba, will you help me converting the edit to 1.23 when it's done?

Guess what? THE BEST LEVEL EDITOR EVER IS GONNA PARTCIPATE.

Prepare yourself.

h8 @ converting to 1.23

Find someone with 1.23 JCS to send it. or just ask me to do so ;p

Cooba, you said entries have to be sent to you via email.. So I'm asking myself, what's your email address? :D

1) Enter my profile
2) Press the link "contact via e-mail"
3) AND THAT'S IT!

You don't have to send it, either; I recall that you can make some website and put the edit inside.

I don't want to make a website (even if it's only for that upload) and if try to do it it says you don't want messages from this board. So what? JUST SEND ME YOUR ADDY VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE :D

Fixed.

I have no idea what you meant with that caps stuff ;o

Copy + Paste:

"Sorry! That user has specified that they do not wish to receive emails through this board. If you still wish to send an email to this user, please contact the administrator and they may be able to help."

Strange, it applies every time I click that button. It does for EVERYONE. Ph33r

My contest is nearly done. (45%) PROGRESSIVE STUFF OMG:

Eyecandy - 60%
Layout - 70%
Placement - 40%
SHIELD AND STUFF - 10%

Another thing, check your pr messages and send me "the cheese" :D

"The Cheese" is during production. Back on the topic.

Monkey, people never had trouble with remote linking to my levels, so problem lies on your own. ;p

So when can I send my entry? :rolleyes:
