Question

[Help needed]

Is it possible to combine JJ2, TSF and Christmas Chronicles into one game?

... Possible? Yes. Useful? No.

Yes, it is possible to expand TSF with the episodes and levels that came before it, but using the setup to do so is not recommended. You'd need some experience with Windows Explorer to do so. I suggest using Holiday Hare 98 instead of Christmas Chronicles though as they're the same game, but different versions: HH98 came before TSF and thus is more usefull.

1. Go to the directories where you have the JJ2 games installed. We're gonna be using TSF as the base of expanding, it'll work with anything before it. Make sure the files in the directories are listed by Type, and that they show the Details of the files. You can do that with the "View" menus in the upper toolbar.

2. In the regular JJ2 folder, select the episode files (.j2e) and the levels (.j2l). I recommend skipping any file that begins with "Share" (I'll explain why later), and skipping the Battles, Captures and Treasures (They're allready present in TSF), but not the Races. You can select more files at the same time by selecting one, going to the end of what you want to select, then hold shift as you click on the last file in the list: everything between the two you clicked will be highlighted and selected. Then, right-click on the selection and choose "Copy"

3. Head for your TSF folder, but don't enter it. Just right-click on it and select "Paste". Everything copied will then be placed in the TSF folder, ready for use. Repeat with HH98.

The reason I'm skipping the Shareware Demo episodeis because of a nasty problem with the Episode Select Screen, it can make JJ2 crash if it has too many episodes to show.

That's basically it, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
