JJ2 LAN cooperative

[Joe]

Hi there,

did anybody know how to play JJ2 over LAN in cooperative mode?
I just able to run cooperative with split screen (using JJ2 1.23).
Did I neet a newer version?
And what about the Xperimental Version?

Please answer via Email, too (jj2@jme.de)

Thax,
Joe.

Try IPX for a LAN connection.

Try IPX for a LAN connection.

Don't works. Using IPX I got the same 3 playing modes like using TCP.

Ok, I found XJJ2 at geocities and it seems that it works.

But ... in a cooperative game, I'm not longer able to
finish a level :(

Any suggestions?

Co-op pretty much doesn't work on LAN or online. The simple answer is because JJ2 wasn't meant to have Co-op played online or with LAN. However, you can use Project Controller 4 (http://www.jazz2online.com/downloads/moreinfo.php?levelid=1334) to skip to the next level when you reach the end. But this is only part of the solution since there's still the problem with the all of the clients in the server not being able to get killed, which can really take the challenge out of the game.

Thanx for your help. I got Project 4 and tried it out.
Running with one of my Win98SE Machines I retrieve an
Errormessage immediately after lunching Controller.EXE:
Laufzeitfehler '50003': Unerwarteter Fehler.
This means in English:
runtime Error '50003': Unexpected Error

Using XP it seems to work :)
So I can play together with my 4 and 7 years old daughters.

BTW: Did JJ2 have a COM interface?
