It’s been a while, but with Anniversary Bash 18 fresh behind us what’s better to keep the community occupied than a new release of JJ2+? Version 5.2 mainly focuses on fixing numerous glitches, though it contains a few new features you’ll certainly like as well.
Some assorted highlights from the changelog:- The AngelScript API now allows for the creation of new layers and the drawing of layers in arbitrary orders
- There is now an .ini setting for changing the text size of in-game announcements
- More precise control over the privileges of remote admins for multiplayer servers
- Tons of bugs were fixed, including some particularly infamous ones such as crashing on the Next Episode screen and a few anti-radar glitches.
As always, you can check the full changelog in the readme. Discussion and bug reports are welcome in the JCF thread.
This is also as good a time as any to have a new poll!
| Yes, of course |  16 votes (50%) |
| Mostly, but with one or two tweaks |  12 votes (37%) |
| No, I use the default player 2 controls (WASDHFGJ) |  0 vote (0%) |
| No, some radically different control scheme |  4 votes (12%) |
| Total votes: 32 | |
With the new release, the JJ2+ team would like to use this opportunity to gauge interest for one of the new features (more layers). How many do you actually need? Are you a minimalist or a mannerist level maker? Let us know through the poll in the sidebar →

Old poll: What the? More defaults than tweaks?
New poll: It really depends on the specific level, but I often felt satisfied around 3-6 layers. On some occasions though, I’d miss one background layer and wished one of the 2 unused foreground layers can be moved, which now we can!

Using defaults, but only because the current control options are limited. Still waiting for a proper control panel to change ‘weapon keys’..
