Several things

Posted:: 7 Jan 2006 at 18:23

Lori Central
Lori’s unofficial website LoriCentral is being worked on by DrJones and Haze again. They are planning to open the site again soon, and it would be nice if they had some new content to start with again. So if you have made any Lori fan art please get in touch with them by sending them a private message on the JCF or J2O.

Unofficial 1.25 patches
UNKNOWNFILE is making unofficial 1.25 patches in which he tries to fix a number of Jazz2 bugs. He has already addressed a number of problems like laser crashes, gem ring crashes and other small things. He started a thread about this on the JCF. Please do not bother him with feature requests. If you would like to help him you will need to have plenty of knowledge on x86 assembler and C++.

Downloads
Some really good downloads have been released recently and I would just like to give them a little bit of extra attention. The first one is Blade’s newest tileset: Twilight Park which really looks amazing, and the example level is a lot of fun too. The second download: Kansas is a tileset project on which more than 15 people worked. I’m sure they will appreciate a review. They can expect at least one because I will review both downloads for sure.

Podcast
And last but not least n00b had the idea of starting a Jazz Jackrabbit podcast. Him, Odin and CrimiClown are going to try to pull it of. Share your ideas in the JCF topic. In case you are not familiar with podcasts, you can read about them here.

Have fun with all of this.

1.25? No, if it’s creating a remake of Jazz, this should be 2.0 or something..
Jazz2 Remake?

cooba on 9 Jan 2006 at 14:58

..a patch, not a remake. So 1.25.

Not an official patch though, so not 1.25, as it’s misleading. If you’re doing unofficial things, please use unofficial version numbers, not official(-sounding) ones. 1.25 is a patch which has been started by the developers so it’s kind of misleading to use that version number. If only because the ’1.25 council’, established to deal with the source code, kind of gets confused that way.

I still think 1.23.1 is a better name

Wait!
1.25 Unoffical the best!
