Foreword: I don't often start threads; in fact I'm sure have never created a new thread in this forum, so I'm going to attempt my best to make sure this one is as exciting as possible.
Story: Having been around the JazzJackrabbit Community Forums for a while, I notice that sprite rips are a very popular phenomenon. I myself have no use for these rips because I lack the time and motivation to make my own fangame. Anyway, the sprite rips also commonly spawn the discussion of another important issue, a sprite editor. Using the Search function, I found that there was no mention of such a program on the JazzJackrabbit Community Forums. So I thought, if there exists sprites, there must have existed sprite editors in the first place. In the spirit of discovery, I decided to do my own digging. Since the level editor was called Jazz Creation Station, I decided to do a google search for "Jazz Destruction Station". To my surprise, it returned exactly one result. But since the server was no longer available, I turned to an alternative. I copied the address into the Wayback Machine, and surprise, it returned exactly one result. To my dismay, the site was empty except for a few keywords. Digging around, I found that this site actually had exactly one link. So I clicked on it. It brought me to this wonderful website which downloaded candy and lollipops into my CD tray. I clicked on every single link. One of them even printed money from my 3.25" floppy disk slot. I became a very happy man. Eventually I grew up and became a successful billionaire. I hired a team of geniuses to work on a sprite editor and a time machine. So I sent the sprite editor back to my younger self in 2006. Eveything was perfect until I finally convinced myself that this story was fake. Ouch. Anyway, so where was I? Oh right, the sprite editor. Even though I can't draw very well, I used the sprite editor to alter a few images, and ended up with stuff that looked like this:
As an experiment, I ran the first level (Dungeon Dilemma, castle1.j2l) using the modified sprites. Some of these sprites were inspired by currently active members in the community. There are also other modified sprites you might notice. Quote:

I have to admit, I'm actually impressed by this.

It isn't! But is a shame that you can't import, swap or set coldpoints, hotpoints and gunpoints.

Hmm. With some editing, Devan's sprites could easily be put in the place of Jazz or Spaz's sprites. =P
EDIT: Bah, I edited Jazz's standing sprite into a floating Jonny head and now it says Anims.j2a is corrupt. Last edited by ThunderPX; Mar 3, 2006 at 07:09 AM. |

But still possible.
This is just awesome. Really.

... Allright, this *is* a revolution. Very impressive, and somewhat a major step in JJ2 modding.

It's interesting to look through and see what got cut out. Amongst other stuff, I've found animations that look like part of the old 3D bonus levels in JJ1.

This is probably the greatest thing ever. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before people start submitting their own custom .j2a's. I'm not exactly sure if that's a good thing or not...
Though, the idea of switching Devan with Jazz fills me with much pleasure. *gets to work* |

apparently i'm the first to report a bug in my own program (v1.00):
#1) "File --> Exit" has no code (does absolutely nothing) ![]()

I haven't pressed File-> Exit since I was like 12.
Also, wow. Just wow. Neobeo, you are awesome. Later I have to screw up my J2A, but for now I'll just sit here and be amazed.

+9000 respect points for Neobeo. Waiting for later versions would make it easier to make mods...
