JJ1 conversion request thread
 

If you have any requests for conversions of JJ1 planets, post them here and I may actually TRY to build those conversions you want ;o I don't guarantee it will be Violet quality, but let me try ;p

LET ME START :

TECHNOIR. This is a must. Technoir we have is bad. REALLY BAD.
CRYSILIS. I know, this is possibly hardest planet to deal with. 90% of Crysilis have tiny glint animations, which are evil.
INDUSTRIUS. This should be apparently easier to do ;o
DECKSTAR. AFAIK Violet was planning to do that, but no results sawn so far.
CARROTTUS. Yes this one exists in JJ1. ;p

Any requests or volunteers?

eek, that's a big project you're taking on...

I thought someone would have done this already... in fact I was going to ask about it...

I can't focus on such things very well. Where can I get JCS94? etc. etc.

Well there is a Deckstar/Muckamuk/Exoticus pretty much perfect conversion that already exists on J2O. There is also I believe a perfect Industrius conversion out there too. How about a Lagunicus conversion that actually is buildable, and includes all the tiles from the planet. Hmm, what about all planets from Episodes 2-6, & B-C. Oh yeah and Turtemple would be real nice :)

Check J2O, for JCS94, Conker.

Oooo, would a BONUS level conversion be possible? You know the crazy gem racing bonus level.

I agree. It's even been converted many many times.
I lost interest when it came time to do the animations. Besides, Deckstar's kind of ugly.
yesyesyes we need someone to convert jazz's hole!!!
Hahahahahahahaha no. It has three really bad conversions with bad masking and bad colors. I would not call that perfect.

Did that already.

I don't know how to tell you this, but all the planets have already been converted. Nowadays we're just trying to get perfect versions. And Turtemple already has a pretty good one.

Yes. However, unless Ice M A N or someone manages to hack in to find the graphics, I doubt anyone is going to go through the process of taking screenshots, compiling the screenshots, and recreating the tiles pixel by pixel. Especially since there are about fifteen different bonus level tilesets.

Because I'm bored, I'll do a list. Feel free to add to it with whatever I left out.

EPISODE 1: TURTLE TERROR
Diamondus
Conversions: A lot, and a pretty complete one by NOKA.

Tubelectric:
Conversions: Ones that come to mind are Newspaz's and NOKAs.

Medivo:
Conversions: Ones that come to mind are CelLs, which is pretty complete imo.

EPISODE 2: BALLISTIC BUNNY

Letni:
Conversions: One by I think CelL, which isn't so good. Needs a better conversion IMHO.

Technoir:
Conversions: Ones that come to mind are Newspaz's. Which is incomplete. Probably needs a better one.

Orbitus:
Conversions: Violet conquered this one.

EPISODE 3: MAKING PANCAKES WITH YOUR MOM RABBITS REVENGE

Fanolint:
Conversions: After a while of searching I found a useable one by IceWolf. Still incomplete, though.

Scraparap
Conversions: Two by Violet (one old one one new and better one)

Devan's Megairbase:
Conversion: A pretty good one by Violet.

EPISODE 4: GENE TOAST MACHINE

Turtemple
Conversions: NOKA. And some palette edits too.

Nippius
Conversions: One old but still good one by Violet.

Jungrock
Conversions: A moderately good one by CelL and a good one by LRK.

EPISODE 5: THE CHASE IS ON

Marbelara
Conversions: A good one by CelL comes to mind.

Slugion
Conversions: A pretty good (and really old) one by Violet.

Dreempipes
Conversions: Violet =D

EPISODE 6: THE FINAL CLASH

Pezrox: One by FoD (I think), and one by Violet.

Crysilis: One by someone (forgot who, USER INPUT PLZ). Needs a better one.

Twin Mega Battleships: Pretty good one by CelL the kangaroo

Time for the annoying episodes where I close the jj1 manual and actually use J1CS to check for =D

Exoticus
Conversions: Violet =D (with special appearance of POLAR BEAR)

Industrius
Conversions: Lots of people. One that comes to mind is LRK. Might or might not need another conversion.

Muckamok
Conversions: Lots, although most are fairly/moderately incomplete or fused with other conversions in a threesome or something. (NeW's Mayhem). Probably needs a good, solid conversion.

Raneforus
Conversions: Uh..the one that came with JCS. Thats it. And maybe some fused together/incomplete one which I can't recall atm. Needs a good conversion.

Stonar
Conversions: A few by CelL and one by LRK. Dunno if it needs another conversion or not, but LRKs was alright last I remembered.

Whatever this other planet is called (not paid to check in jj2 so dont care =D)
Uhh..Appears in NeW's Mayhem, and I think thats it. Needs a conversion.

Ceramicus
Conversions: Good one by NOKA.

Deserto (CLIFF IS COL. EAT ME! =D)
Conversions: Violet. gg

Lagunicus.
Conversions: Violet. gg
(On a side note, the boss level in lagunicus has a swear word written in it ;()

Candion
Conversions: A fairly good one by Violet (lacks some stuff, but oh well). Doesn't really need one at the moment.

Bloxonius
Conversions: An OK one by Toxic Bunny, some not so good random ones, a fairly good one by LRK.

Holidaeous (sp?)
Conversions: Violet. I think

I could post the descriptions for the episodes and stuff, but I don't feel like going through all the trouble to look up stuff for a post =D.

I wouldn't say a lot. There's one small-but-usable conversion by Toxic Bunny, and then there's NOKA's, which is really annoying because there's no black anymore. That's only two.

If full of bugs.

You may laugh, but it's the simpler conversions that get used the most...

Both were converted by Onag, I believe. FoD just uploaded.

I'm fine with "JJ2 Muckamok" by Haze. I don't think it needs anything better.

There have indeed been several attempts, but I do think of Raneforus as the highest priority. Plus it's so pretty... or it could be with a little editing...

LRK's has UGLY SLOPES.

Wait, there was a JJ1 Carrotus?

Yes?
 

I did last summer, actually. :) However, I'm at university now and can't get to my code at home (and I definitely do not have time to redo it!).. maybe at xmastime.. (unless someone else does it first)..

edit: mind you I'm not the most reliable person.. I had a working tileset compiler last summer also, but lost some of it while trying to make it easier to use, and then when I tried to redo it in the last weeks of summer this year, I ran out of time... oh well.. I have a long xmas break.. we'll see..

Well thank you. ;-)

Thats it?? How do we know its Carrotus?

Because Jazz lives on Carrotus and that is Jazz's home.

What the heck is going on here, there is no JJ1 planet in the game, storyline worlds, bonus levels, secret levels or what not that warps you to Carottus. The closest to that would probably be Earth (Diamondus).

The earth where you live is blue and has big gems growing out of it? Can I come and live with you?

Anyway, yes. That is Carrotus because JJ1 says that Jazz lives on Carrotus. It only says that once, but it does say that.

Tubs :
1) DIAMONDUS IS NOT EARTH SIR =))))999 ++CLIFF IS COL
2) I already thought of making such stuff... nah, bonus levels are evil. ;((
3) Those convertions you mentioned are really really bad. ;o

Violet :
1) Ah, yes. Raneforus. THAT PLANET SUX but lacks decent conversions.
2) Those animations are pain I'll admit.
3) ther is a luuk at caretuus in jj1 like at no apprichin screen at info button in menu
4) LRK's one has GOOD SLOPES.

Blacky :
1) That one you lost name of is called DECKSTAR not to confuse HI2U PLANET.
2) (-/) LAMERZ Muckamok boss has the message too, but not a dirty phrase.
3) Holidaius*

++Ice M A N in general. =D

Glad to know my long post was appreciated or something ;d. And LRK's has good enough slopes. Because I can, I will reply to violet =D.


Never found a problem with it but ok.


If you don't like it you can always convert it yourself =P. Just saying that it's not a top priority and it's there.


kthbai

I might sort them in another way, but well, this list is somewhat complete I guess :)

This list would work better if it would be sorted in order of planets' appearance.''

THIS LISTS BOTH JUNGROCK CONVERSIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! YAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Awww, for a second, I though there was a planet called Germanicus. ;-;

Do it yourself. I am not someone who likes spending his whole day on formatting some list.

Ich bin ein Fliesesatz umwandlung! };)

OMG ME 2

Now that I have everything I need, and that I've seen them all, I have to say a few things...

What the hell is wrong with Crysilis & Industrious? And the only thing I've noticed about Technoir and Sluggion is the lack of text sign (Sluggion's ONLY problem) and all that destructable scenery and good stuff in Technor. Carrotus, I'd like to see it, and then I'll shutup about it. Deckstar, oh that will be fun to be made!

Problems in planets that Tublear mentioned:
Crysilis: No animations. This is an obvious one.
Industrius: I could be wrong, but I don't think any Industrius conversion has had proper masking, proper coloring, proper added tiles, all the tiles, and no inaccurate lazy "remakes" using mirroring.
Technoir: Yes, it's missing some of that stuff that makes a tileset a JJ2 tileset, instead of a randomgenericplatformer tileset.
Slugion: Poor masking, I think some missing tiles, and ugly added tiles.

Indeed.
I don't think so, either.
AGREE
That's yours ;D If you hate it so much why not make it yet again?

Obviously I can name any problems I want in my own tilesets, as there's no risk of offending people. :D

I would consider remaking Slugion, but nobody would care. JJ1 conversions are not very popular at all these days period, and when there's already a usable one, they just seem pointless. Sadly, I do not care enough about Slugion to make it for reasons other than ratings.

*cough*Scraparap Please, don't push me into converting Sluggion.

Anyway, I try to focus on Deckstar; with a bit of help from J1CS and JJ1 which I apparently warped I might actually finish that. Oh, and don't forget that program Sparky apparently found. With that making screenshots became way easier ;p

Scraparap was not particularly usable. Slugion, sadly enough, is.
If you do not make Deckstar look good I will kill you.
Way easier than pressing Backspace+F2?

Sluggion needs a twist.
I'd better prepare my security forces.
AFAIK no program can crash after pressing PrintScreen.

FANOLINT. FANOLINT is yer God-Planet. The conversion by Ice Wolf is poor.

LETNI is second in line. The conversion by CelL is missing a lot of stuff too.

Oh, and Technoir conversion is bad.

Letni is on my roster right now. I think I will take that after Deckstar.

I'm not stup enough to push myself into Fanolint, thwap.

Fanolint...Sluggion...Scraparap...Technoir are the planets tha need to be remade, alrighty then, I will avoid making levels with them.

Deckstar, will be much fun when it is remade.
