Jazz 3D new demos

Post by LEOTCK »

Full explanation at jazz2 online thread, however the link has been removed due to the new policy.

I want you guys to have this, I don't have a lot of time and I don't even know if I'll ever return due to my RL situation right now.

link here download section

The new files are "Jazz 3" "Jazz224" "Jazz400 Calypso" "JJ3 Doc7" and "CalyUnreal", all are those new original recovered files.

There is also "Jazz Jackrabbit 3" file which is the original leak from 2007. Then there are tons of fixes for each version provided by me and "hub" map tests to see how the default hub system works with Jazz (version 224 fares well on that, only it lacks slots for specific maps because there can only be one hub save file at a time as that was the case with Unreal's hub system originally and that's unchanged). But you can still see that things remain the same if you destroy rocks before going to the tutorial level and then enter the level and back, the rocks will still be gone...

Okay so I hope you enjoy.

Came here from the J2O thread (the moderators there censor quite badly which is a shame) and am very interested in the demos, so thank you very much!

I wanted to say (perhaps a new thread would be good) that recently a new Jazz 2 Beta from E3 1997 has been unearthed by Bryan.

It is a bit of a letdown apart from Jazz 2 though. I'll send you pm.

Is the E3 1997 version recently discovered available to the public?

Not yet afaik, but I can share the link via PM for now. I'm not hosting it also because it's not related to the Unreal engine in any way, but
otherwise there is a link. I would need to talk with Bryan whether it would be fine to share it publically too.
And he's not avaiable now. There are some more things to go over and I need to wait.

Of course what could happen is someone who got the link puts it up somewhere else.

That would be great, just to make sure it doesn't disappear into oblivion.

CIA FBI COINTERPLO TRUCKS* or whatever and ILLUMINATI CARTELS are after us with bryan now, so
I guess I better post this before we get into more trouble (it isn't because of this, however).

So here the link DOWNLOAD to the beta itself, if you want the full ISO please ask by pm further (or wait till next time).


* this is a reference to an old episode of the show "Millenium" that got stuck in my memory and that's sometimes closer to the truth than we'd all like.

FULL ISO

I decided to post the download link here after all, I heard nothing from Bryan all the time and I don't want this achievement of his to get lost...

I don't know. I'm going through an emotional turmoil right now. I'll let you know if I think of something.

I appreciate the share Leo. Just a quick question though. CalyUnreal.zip has an empty folder called 'Unreal Versions'. Do you know what this folder was for or what it means? Thanks.

I knew it. I damn knew it.

I was here, thinking "hey, I haven't checked out what happens on BetaArchive in some time", while I'm supposed to find out for the company I work for which one of these hotels for sale in Barcelona would be the most profitable purchase.
And now, I run into download links for one of my favourite games as a kid. I technically still do have time for work later, but the earlier I finish it, the better... I guess I'll have to arm-wrestle procrastination once again tonight.

Some sketches

Some more sketches and stuff, not completely everything I didn't have time to sort it all.



More maps and stuff

More maps including a cut inside-whale map.

This should be the rest of stuff I missed. Also fixed a link (in previous post). Unfortunately there are screenshots of a level that wasn't included/found also so check those as well. There is a custom compiled alt system version of jazzobjectoids that's needed for one map to open.
more jazz stuff

Are there any 3d models with Spaz and Lori ? If they existed, they could be implemented and become playable characters in Jazz 3D

No unfortunately not. Not everything from the developement was recovered obviously but the large majority was. They were never finished as far as I know and they were focusing on the Jazz demo before it was canned.

There is a curious thing about the 400 versions though, including the original leak with the custom icon, clamscan does report on the exe a generic trojan type, I wonder why, it should be investigated. It might be harmless on today's machines but the developer's build might have gotten infected somehow or something. Fact is I wasn't able to run the plain 400 executable from UT for some reason, so it might be whatever is causing it to work and launch but still is strange.

Well in my case it's working really well. I'm expecting to see even more leaks. For instance as an example all designs of Jazz's and Eva's royal kids,new level map locations at least...etc. I heard Delacroix was interested to contribute in it even after many delays,belated releases after so many years and time passing by.

Its very unlikely there will be any "leaks" of this further. Majority of everything got recovered the rest was subject of corrupted data or overwriting.

So I guess for instance as an example I have to imagine myself how Tubelectric possibly as planet might look like as 3D low poly hub world.

I wish I could know how to load up some maps nearby Carrotus Forrest. Like for instance as an example Carrotus Village. Oh or whatever that level 3D lowpoly map was called. That one with waterfall view landscape.

I believe it was just called JLow. What's the problem? the unr files should be loaded okay.
