JazzJackrabbit.net and Zeal are organizing a ZStats competition. There will be prizes for the top 3 players (specially designed T-shirts). This contest will take place during January and February. Scores/points from both months will be counted and the player with the most scores wins.
If the player belongs to a clan, that clan will gain points here on JJnet along with the player's personal award. Winner: 10 points 2nd place: 6 points 3rd place: 4 points Other represented clans: 2 points.
A clan can only get points once. E.g. if top-2 players belong to clan A and the 3rd player belongs to clan B, then the point bonus for 2nd place will go to clan B.
So, you can win both a special T-shirt and points for your clan!
Hello! Hi!
It’s time for yet another JJnet map making contest! It has been a while since we had one – over a year to be exact. With the multi-ladder seeing more traffic lately we’ve decided to announce this very competition.
This time we are looking to expand the DOM mappool by a new map (or a few maps) created by the community.
These are the rules regarding entries:
1. Maximum of two submissions per person but try to shoot for quality over quantity.
2. We are looking for new maps, remakes of currently existing maps will not be taken into consideration.
3. Use of angelscirpt is allowed with respect for FPS impact, the map has to be accessible by players with lower end machines as well as those using some better gear to play who could also encounter FPS drops.
4. The levels must be uploaded to Jazz2Online so that they are easily available to anyone to download.
5. Once submitted, levels are allowed to be edited until the contest closes. Any changes have to be announced and described to explain what changed.
An advice from me regarding the maps:
- smaller maps can and probably should have more than two control points as to allow for more counter-play with smaller teams
- the levels should be easily readable for the player so he can tell what is happening on the screen
- all characters should be playable in a level (Spaz too) this means that tricks such as wall-jumping should not be necessary to reach all important areas of those levels, such as powerups, carrots or control points
The contest ends on the 20th of January 2021 so you have roughly 5 weeks to submit your works. Just as with previous contests, a team of judges will be selected to pick the winner(winners?) and the map will be added to the DOM mappool afterwards.
ZStats is a player ranking system that rankes players that plays on a specific server. In this case it's Zeal Alpha. The site is updated every hour. After each month the top players are saved and can be shown in the history. The current list is from mid October until now. The site has originaly been coded by Jake but has been updated and improved by Cranky. Many thanks to them!
How does it work then? Well, you can get up to 5 points for each map you play. How many points you get depends on the amount of skill your opponent has and ofcourse how well you play.
§4: Multi-clanning A player may only be a member of one active clan at a time. In particular, a player may be a member of multiple clans in theory, but is allowed to play ladder matches/clanwars only for one clan per season. If a player plays ladder matches/clanwars for multiple clans during the same season while being a member in them simultaneously, the JJnet staff reserves the right to punish and nullify any games by multi-clanners as they see appropriate.
Keep in mind that CTF and Multi uses separated seasons. That means that a player can be a member of two clans and choose to play CTF for one clan and other game modes for the other. It's recommended that each clan's squad list specify if a player is active in CTF and/or Multi.
There are a small update to the rules: Antiradar should be on by default, but can be disabled if both teams agree. (PNA3+4 has antiradar on, PNA1+2 has antiradar off)
No changes in the mappool at this time. But it might be changed during the season.
Despite the JJ2+ team providing a very simple way to report issues, most of the talk about anti-radar (a feature implemented in 2015) is still chinese whispers spread through PNA chat, discord DMs, and private messages that were interpreted in bad faith and shared without the other person's consent.
Let's have this talk in one place.
Post your suggestions and bug reports regarding anti radar in here and we (the JJ2+ team) will try to address them.
