You are expected not to lose things. ;p

They don't know where the source is either.

Well, why do all ask source code from them, why don't they ask rihts to get source code from the game and make a new jj2 (1.25)?

I think a noob came and uploaded a level called source code

Because they want the source code with comments, so that we know what bit of code does what, and what was excluded.

Ehh. Allright... Then you have to wait a looong time..because they wont give it so easily, if you would impress them how good levels you make, how big is the community, how much we want 1.25, they would probably let us use it, but all are too lazy to do it, and it will never happen . Or then you can get it from net or from the game, and the wait would not be so long. You decide the future of jazz!
Ánd im still on that case, if the real version of the game would be downloadable on J2O, we would have even more players, but if you don't want to do it, dont do!

J2O would probably lose their domain name for hosting warez on the site. That would be a Bad Thing. Besides, JJ2 can be bought for like $10 at Amazon. $10 is nothing compared to the $50 most new PC games cost.

But its baaaaaaaad engine isnt worth even $5!

EDIT: I have bought it for €3,50 or so

Thats why noone will buy it. I wouldn't buy it even it would cost 1$ because there is no reason to but jazz2 nowdays (actually, I would be too lazy to buy it.). You can actually get better games. BUT because I just like retro games, I like jazz 2 too, so I'm here. I stick with my words: If you would send them Email with community sites, player names, and the people who plays jazz, people who are so kind hosting servers and listserver, it would propably be so awesome, that someone actually still likes their game, they would propably give the games source code.
Otherwise, just talking about this is just waste of time.
Do something!

You didn't read our posts at all, did you?

as I have said before, the source code is dead and buried.

Yeah, but you think sexual dicussions can kill people too...

I kind of lost track of what you're responding to, but I don't see any mention of JJ3 in this topic, so I'll assume you mean the JJ2 engine. In that case you are so utterly wrong. The JJ2 engine is very probably the most powerful and versatile 2D engine in existence. Why do you think so many companies wanted it?

And what Thunder said... John4300, this is a serious forum. Please try to actually understand the situation of the community before you rant in here.

Stop being a pessimist. Pessimism is illegal in the Future of Jazz forum.

Actually, I am so lazy (-) that after I read the whole topic I was too busy(=Lazy) to change my post. And actually, I'll shut up here and go playing Half Life2/World Of Warcraft/Command & Conquer generals, anc probably continue doing my levels while waiting for eternity for jj2 1.25...
(And actually, I think Jazz Jackrabbit is nothing in 3D. It should be left in 2D like it was, because 2D is the think that makes JJ2 so great. And also JCS, the easiest to use and overall so great program. And plese don't be so aggressive, I'm stupid you know.)

--End of posting.--

I agree. JJ was built for 2D and it shouldnt become 3D. It looses its whole JJ gameplay feeling and thats not so nice. It, of course, is fun if you can play popular 3D games with JJ sprites, but it mustnt be a Jazz game. Jazz is funny in 2D. Not in 3D.

That's the wierdest post I've ever read.

I concur.

Sir, JJ2 is the most robust 2d platforming engine ever.

EDIT- Bleh, UR beat me to it.

Yeh, by like a week...

Don't you realise that the source code is sitting right in front of you?

It's called Jazz2.exe.

No, I call it "Jazz Jackrabbit 2 v1.23.exe"... ;(

Yay, ill be posting again.

But actually, if we would get the source code from jazz2.exe, and change it, so it would be created as 1.25, Fquist would probably ban it for releasing it here, because its hacked warez -.-

...you people are so ignorant.

Aww jesus christ.

YES, we can use Jazz2.exe in IDA Pro to extract stuff.
NO, this doesn't help us, because we still don't know what everything is supposed to do. This is why we need the source from BEFORE it was compiled.

Good luck on editing the source. Use IPS patches.

Then how come it's possible to hack GameBoy Advance games so that they only play music without needing the source code?

Easy.
Emulators.
Now that I told the truth, This ends my post.

Emulators don't do anything but emulate the GBA platform. The actual compiled rom is hacked, so that it doesn't play music. It *can* be done, but it's just harder than having the original code with comments, etc.

It's a little thing called "trial and error".

I really hate Intel processors because they use functions that vary in bit-ranges, whereas MIPS uses 4-byte instructions, which I am more use to. Sux

cheers :P

It's called Jazz2.exe.

That's not the source code, that's the compiled machine code. Source code is very much more useful.

Yea, whatever. Most of the bugs caused are internal EXE problems anyways.

Which come from logic errors made in the source code...

You can do some useful stuff by editing the EXE. But I don't think you'll manage to fix larger bugs with it, or harder even: add features.

wow, this thread has survived for awhile, has it not?

Yes. Weeds tend to.

I HAVE THE SOURCECODE

and who is god bl?
