UncleWan got a reaction from jetsetdanny in Embarrassing things
Hello everyone, how to modify English letters in the game? Currently, I have edited 12 rooms, including modifications in sprites. I hope it can have comprehensive modifications.
Later l will try to modify the music。I am researching 'A Miner Triad' by Richard Hallas.

Hello Daniel and All,
Thank you so much for this feedback after playing and testing my new game.
It's always a nerve-wracking moment to deliver your creation and wait for feedback from those who will play it.
And after so many years, I didn't know where I was going when I started three months ago...
So I'm very relieved to know that this game can be a happy experience for all players.
You have all the green lights to add your musical programming. Your proposal is a huge honor for me.
Take the time you need by prioritizing all your commitments to the authors and time to manage your JSW Central site.
Thanks again, Daniel, for the time you've already spent helping me and improving my games.
Thank you to all of you, the community, for your interest in this project. Only a few more months to wait before you can play it !!!
See you soon
Hervé
A little bonus image, without revealing too much of the game :

I finished "The Temple" for the first time a few days ago. It was a great pleasure to play, and actually quite an emotional experience for me after waiting for it for 18 years 😊. It is certainly worth the wait, though!
I like the game a lot. It features Hervé's numerous signature themes that I like so much: mysteries, references to space and the planets, the UFOs, ancient civilizations, exotic animals and movies. And, of course, there is Yeti, as there is one in every game of Hervé's... well, there's even more than one, but I will not reveal the exact details of this 🙂 .
"The Temple" has a lot of nice graphics, some interesting challenges (that would be VERY frustrating if I wasn't using Rollback when playing), and also some well-known sprites from Hervé's previous games that have now become classics.
So, all in all, I am pretty sure you will enjoy exploring it and gathering the 256 items 🙂 . But before you do, I would like - with Hervé's kind permission and encouragement - to add some freshly-coded music to it. It will take me a while (with my spare time being severely limited and my other JSW-related activities running in parallel), so please bear with me.
Thanks again, Hervé, for letting me carry out the first playtest of "Willy in the Islands of Mystery (Part II: The Temple)"! 👍It was a true privilege and a great pleasure 😊.

Hello Daniel and everyone
Here is a progress report on the creation of my new game.
-> I have finished and tested all the rooms (100%)
I was able to create all the traps I had imagined.
This game contains quite a few surprises.
In any case, situations and traps that I have not created in my previous games
I started playing it to check for possible errors.
some passages are modified, I also add decoration to create harmony between the rooms.
I have almost finished the title screen. It takes me a lot of time.
I still have a large fresco to finish for a room. I drew it on paper, now it must be coded in pixels in the editor.
The game will be tested by Daniel from the beginning of March.
It will be released in September 2025.
See you soon
Hervé

Do you mean font ? 🙂 There is a "Font" option in JSWED menu to change all the letters and other characters, at least in 128K version. These characters will appear on the bottom of the screen, in the status panel and in the title screen´s bottom message, both fixed and scrolling message. 🙂
Congratulations for your start! 🙂

If you have a suitable charset/font already you can use, provided you have some space remaining (48k version) in one of a couple of places its very easy to use this.

Hello Daniel and the whole community !
I hope you're well.
I happy to discover this group.
I watched the vidéos JSW on YouTube with a lot of emotion and nostalgia.
I didn't think that my game JET SET WILLY IN PARIS was still played and appreciated !
I found LIVE videos of players playing my game, it’s just very touching.
Everyone should know the enormous help you gave me in testing and releasing the game as well as the 3 others
Thank you very much Daniel for always being so present and active so that the JSW games are still there and perhaps even more so than 20 years ago.
This is what motivates me to come back after 18 years...
It's also to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of my first game "Jet Set Willy in Paris in 2005 (first release).
Since two week, I résumed creating my never finished game "Willy in the Islands of Mystery part II : the Temple.
I found inspiraion again to create new rooms and new guardians. I completely redesigned the game.
I think this game will be released before the end of 2025 at the latest.
See you very soon !
As a reminder the list of my previous games :
Jet set Willy in Paris (2005) Willy on a Transatlantic Cruise (2007) Escape of the Snails 2007 Willy in the Islands of Mystery ( part 1 : Exploration) 2007 -

No problems.
That's a good point. I have found it best to work with a .tap file personally but others may prefer a snapshot.

UncleWan,
I believe JSWED will NOT open TZX files (it will open it in Hex Editor, but you will not be able to edit the game using the GUI). Open a TAP file instead, or a SNA or Z80 file.
Please note also that when you use an unmodified file of the original "Jet Set Willy", every time you will want to open the game you have just edited, you will get the colour code challenge. If you want to get rid of this, go to JSWED's Hex Editor and modify the value of the address 86B0 to C3, the value of the address 86B1 to CA, and the value of the address 86B2 to 87.
Please let us know if everything works well for you 🙂 .

UncleWan,
I have just sent you a message with couple of files. 🙂

Opps😶I didn't realize this.Thank you Spider!

UncleWan reacted to Spider in Embarrassing things
I'm surprised it opens the .zip properly.
Extract the .zip and place the game file inside the JSWED folder/directory, then open that from there. 🙂
There's no issue with W7 (or W10 at least) with JSWED, it is not an OS concern that's for certain.
I'm not 100% sure what else that file has for fixes, IIRC that one has something like a renamed Bathroom perhaps.
I do have a fixed standard one somewhere on site, with the four official fixes applied as well as another one to 'fix' the Swimming Pool rope if needed.

UncleWan reacted to igormakovsky in JSW in real life designs ➡️🚽
In 2012 I had a project on creating a design for a non-formal underground club for cinema lovers. It was real fun, I had almost no limits on my creativity.
Besides all other work, I was needed to design arrows that could navigate guests to the toilets and the bar. Guess, who the main characters are?
More can be seen on my old website: graphical identity, interior design and website

Thank you, Digital Duck. 🙂 I thought to ask, as I thought it might literally mean something more than just good luck. One never knows without asking. 🙂
UncleWan, why not download the latest JSWED and give it a try someday? 🙂
-
UncleWan reacted to jetsetdanny in Happy Chinese New Year!
I will keep my fingers crossed, UncleWan, hoping that you will indeed have the time and energy to create a new JSW game! 🙂 And I would definitely second Jet Set Willie's suggestion of using JSWED - unless you're into coding and prefer to code your own game from scratch, it's a great and easy-to-use tool for creating MM and JSW games.

thank you, danny😀In fact, I have always had plans to design JSW for spectrum Unfortunately, due to time and technological limitations, this idea has not yet been realized. I previously created a version using Dan Richardson's PC JSW II editor, but the editor has many limitations and cannot be called a true JSWmod But I believe I will have time to realize this idea.
