Lord Nux level pack 10:59
I (Alienator) received this email from SpazMan about his level pack today.

Well, Lord Nux hasn't been coming out as good as I thought it would. I've only got one beta tester. I had to scrap the first draft of Lord Nux. And, to top that, I've tried to make other levels at this point (I want to make a new treasure level after "Kick Me!"), but I decided against that. Well, any ways, I've attached 4 cool screen shot exclusives for your eyes to drool at =). It's basically all of what I've done so far. I'll have some more screen shots in the future. They're pretty good anyway. And, by all means, if you want and can become a beta tester for Lord Nux, BECOME ONE! I'm looking for some level making pros like DanX, Martin or Roaster (or any others I forgot). Cyaz

Here are the screen shots that he sent me. You can email SpazMan at fkloste@ibm.net.

UDC down for now 19:04
UDC (The Unofficial Daily Carrot) is going down for a while due to a major redesign. I got tired of the old Daily Carrot look and I have decided to give it a more modern look. Y'know, more images, more attractive layout, etc. etc. etc. Anyway, I will be working on this most of the time so I will be very busy working on the new UDC.

Jazz 2 Mac Review 19:04
Next-Generation Online posted a review for the Mac version of Jazz 2 a few days ago. You can read their upbeat review here. Thanks to Jeh for the information.

Wishlist 11:46
StevenT has started the "official" wishlist for the new Jazz2 patch. You can post all of your suggestions/problems here.

- Steven






JJ Calendar 11:22
I think I'll let StevenT explain this one: (taken from Jazz Central)

Well, since the Server List always seems to go down, Xperimental JJ2 games don't show up in the Server List and how hard it is to set up tournaments, I set up a CGI script that should solve most of these problems. It's an online Calendar, allowing you to add posts for certain days.

Example: I want to say I'm starting an online Coop game. You would post on the JJ2 Calendar on that day the time it starts. You start your game and after you post again to the same day something like GAME OVER

This is also useful for clan tryouts/duels/games...

Rules: (Yes there are always rules )

NO Foul Language
NO Useless Posts
NO Advertising
If you need a post edited, send an e-mail here, with the date of your post, and what you want edited/deleted.


You can view the Calendar here if you agree to the above terms.

JML - Jazz Multiplayer Launcher 20:23
Acledama has made a program that will automatically let you select the level that you want to use and the mode to play in, then it will launch the multiplayer, you can use this program to join or host! This is certainly faster then getting all the way into Jazz and selecting all of the options! You can download it by clicking here.

    Servers Up 14:21
    If there was anything wrong with the servers yesterday, they're fine today. So, go start a game!

    On a minor note, our counter is continually decreasing. I noticed this happen a few months ago but igorned it. I'll try and get us a more reliable counter.
