Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

KRSplat · Mar 2, 2003, 04:09 PM

It's that time of year again. On April 15, 1998, the demo of Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was released.

Let's start planning for Anniversary Bash V.

Newspaz · Mar 2, 2003, 04:40 PM

Don't worry. We've already started last week

J2O may even have a surprise for you at Bash 5.

Remember what great fun it was last year?

Trafton · Mar 2, 2003, 04:48 PM

The planning has already started.

And, yes, it has been five years. They went so quickly.

...Surprise, eh? ;-P

KRSplat · Mar 2, 2003, 05:09 PM

Okay. Good. I was ready to do something myself if nobody remembered.

Why do I never know about anything?

ElectroPiZZa · Mar 2, 2003, 05:21 PM

Let's start planning for Idiot Thread IV which nobody will reply to.

Iam Canadian · Mar 2, 2003, 06:14 PM

Wow. Who'da thought we'd last five years? We're almost half a decade old! Well...let's get ready for the fifth birthday of Jazz 2!

You know what's sad? Since I first played jazz, I've missed all of them...all 4 of them.

I've been active for all 4 but I only ever had time to play in last years.

What's cool though is that I got my map in Bash4 last year.

Hopefully I'll get Spider Swamp in this year. *hint hint*

Tubz · Mar 2, 2003, 10:34 PM

HAHAHA, you're not alone Shorty I missed all of them too. I'll try to show up this time.

Enigma · Mar 3, 2003, 12:07 AM

Yayfulness! Another anniversary bash. I still remember how the first server got so full last year that it was pinging for almost everyone and defalcon had to start a second one

Tik · Mar 3, 2003, 04:12 AM

I've appeared at each of them, but usually not very long at all. Hopefully I'll get to play extensively this year. Does anyone know if it will be an all-week thing or a weekend or what? Whee

And I always forget the official release date of the shareware. Was it April 9th? Er...yeah. I have no idea. Shame on me.

Disguise · Mar 3, 2003, 05:14 AM

Bash rawks, you wanna know what's even better?

CELEB SPOTTING!!!

Last year I roasted Agama! *pats the screenie saved in a huge vault on his PC*

Unhit · Mar 3, 2003, 05:17 AM

wow, that was one year since the last one already? Geez....

Cpp · Mar 3, 2003, 10:01 AM

Sometimes I wish there was an instagib server...

Unhit · Mar 3, 2003, 10:04 AM

I could arrange that

.

KRSplat · Mar 3, 2003, 12:51 PM

You know, there is nothing stopping you from making it an all-week event, Spaztic. If you want.

Or an insta-gib server.

I *think* it was April 15.

Haha someone remembered!

Yeah what ticked me off was that I had to go out so I could only keep the server up for a little while. As I recall Ever and Fquist had TERRIBLE pings on my server.

Some of my screenies got over-written.

Anyone know how to stop that?
Cause I roasted Fquist, and Ever, and more...

FoD · Mar 4, 2003, 06:18 AM

I skipped all of the Bashs purposefully.. cause I was here when two of them were going on. All of them would have lagged for me on my old computer anyway, and I didn't know most of the levels, so I woulda died majorly.

Tik · Mar 4, 2003, 06:21 AM

There is no way I could make it an all-week event with my amazing dialup...

Unless I have broadband by then. *twitches in anticipation*

VelKa · Mar 4, 2003, 07:16 AM

I'll come, although I'm probably going to be off in UT2k3 land anyway. So nya to you all, or something. Of course, if my ~~evil~~ twin shows up at one of the Anniversary Bash 5 servers, I'll have to come also. ;-P

If you folks ever need me to host for a short period of time, I have somewhat decent ADSL connection, and can probably handle about eight-ten (8-10) people at a time. Perhaps on weekdays I could host during the early morning hours, if my parents don't notice. Of course, I am very prone to kicking off complainers, so that might not be so fun. ;-P

I think you can do that using JazzED

CelL · Mar 4, 2003, 07:50 AM

I showed up for 2 out of 4 Aniverserys, the most recent ones.. wasn't able to come at the other ones, don't really remember why.. Its been one whole year already? Heheh, can't wait. =))

As for the screenshot thingy, as far as I know Jazz2 automaticly overwrites screenshot files starting with Jazz0001 if you reopened Jazz2 and take any screenshots again, so next time I'd sugest you just rename your screenshots or place them in another directory.

Me exactly.

4I Falcon · Mar 4, 2003, 10:47 AM

I missed all four of the previous Bashes. 1, 2, and 3 I didn't even have the game for. No wait, come to think of it, I had the game during 3, but my internet connection sucked so bad I decided to abstain from netplay. Bash 4 was during the four months I didn't have JJ2, because my dad thought I was obsessing over it and made me sell the CD.

I vow not to miss AB5! RAAAAA!

BTW, I can host Blade's levels for a week if need be. In both versions, too. The server may go down once or twice, but I think (hope!) my comp and my net connection (cable! yee! *frolics*

) can handle it. Actually, I'll just start the server as soon as I get home tonight. 6:30 EST (I have to go to work at Tim Horton's for three hours

).

Other than that, considering I've never actually seen any of AB1 through 4, is there anything else I can do to help?

You can get us all donuts.

Anyway, it doesn't seem so long since the last bash, and I'm still hoping I won't be around next time.
Oh well! Here's hoping the level selection will be better then last year..

KRSplat · Mar 4, 2003, 12:17 PM

We definately HAVE to use all of Bjarni's levels.

Let's use really old levels and laugh at how bad they were when we all thought they were great.

Or, we could use good levels. Your choice.

Newspaz · Mar 4, 2003, 12:38 PM

We'll need hosts.. Already have one. And we'll have to make sure everyone will actually download the pack, so the servers won't crash.

KRSplat · Mar 4, 2003, 12:49 PM

I wish I could host a dedicated server... but I can't.

Heheh. Bobo Meets Royalty.

I'll slaughter whoever decides that Hells Angels and Crimson Diamond are too old to get in the pack. *glances evilly*

And I'll give a cookie to whoever goes 'hmm...Spider Swamp, that looks alright'

Enigma · Mar 5, 2003, 01:16 AM

I'll make a server if it should appear to be necessary. Should lag like something very laggy from about > 8 people though

~~*cough* celestial wargrounds *cough*~~

Unhit · Mar 5, 2003, 01:20 AM

About the levels...I think we should mostly take different levels than last time. Sure, classic levels like BBLair must be in, but else, we should also host levels from the contest and especially some of CelL's new levels

. Well, that's up to the organizers, but I'd like to "help" them deciding there ;P.

***Stijn*** · Mar 5, 2003, 01:40 AM

Indeed. Last year there were only a few new levels.

Does that work in Windows XP?

Haha! I found my Bash4 CTF screenies from when I was hosting! I have a bunch of 'defalcon LJ roasted FquistDM' (I remember specifically capturing those shots). I also have screenies of the first round in Blood Bunny's Lair where we SPANKED red team.

And another in...uhm, some Colonial level. Red team was ahead 9:2 and then we made a comeback and whipped them again. Good fun.

It's much more fun if you roast him IRL splitscreen

P.S. check all the 'Re:' on that SSF! LOVE IT!

I'm sure it is. Bring him over here so I can try.

Haha! That's just trippy!

Roast FQuist IRL. With a match.

Blackraptor · Mar 5, 2003, 04:05 PM

Can you tell us the levels you have decided to include so far, or is that a secret?

Radium · Mar 5, 2003, 04:51 PM

Ordinarily, I'd ignore something like this, but the oppertunity to roast lots of famous people I don't remember is very tempting....

Yes. I really don't know why whoever is organizing this thinks nobody should know anything about this. It just causes confusion.
