[Hazel-rah]

What is "Jazz Jackrabbit CD"?
Jazz Jackrabbit 1 episodes 1-6 and A-C. A-C were missing in the original edition.

And HH94, with an extra feature to play all the 3D bonus levels.

Other than that it is pretty accurate.

[Fawriel]

Is Jazz dead?
No. Shut up.
Ahahaha.

[JelZe GoldRabbit]

Actually Conker, there are two versions of JazzCD: the regular one, and the version with HH94. I've seen both, and both have the Z bonus level epsiode.

And didn't HH98 have its own JCS?

<a id="patches"></a>Where can I get (a patch)?
http://www.dutchfurs.com/~haze/?cat=files&dir=files/pc/patches

<a id="124pat"></a>Where can I get the 1.24 patch?
The 1.24 patch is not free to download, and the only way to get a 1.24 version of Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is to purchase "Jazz Jackrabbit 2: The Secret Files". The game may still be available in some Dutch stores, and you should <a href="http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/node.php?nodeID=82">check here</a> if you want to buy it online.

<a id="install"></a>I can't install the 1.23 patch. I have the full version of Jazz 2, version 1.00. Why is this?
1.00 versions are early betas of the game ("OEM" versions), and are not supported by any patches or programs. If you want the full gameplay experience, including fixed bugs, multiplayer and a level editor, you need to buy a working copy of JJ2.

<a id="jj1levels"></a>How do I make levels for JJ1?
http://www.jazz2online.com/jcs94/

<a id="macjcs"></a>I have the Macintosh version of JJ2. How do I make levels?
You can't. There is no JJ2 level editor for macs.

<a id="buy"></a>Where do I buy (insert Jazz game here)?
Follow this (http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/node.php?nodeID=82) link, or do a Froogle (http://froogle.google.com/) search.

<a id="download"></a>Why should I buy Jazz? Where can I download (insert Jazz game here)?
All of the available shareware and freeware Jazz games are available here (http://www.dutchfurs.com/~haze/?cat=files&dir=files/pc/shareware). Downloading full versions of any games other than Holiday Hare 94 and Holiday Hare 95 is illegal and is not supported by these forums.

<a id="16bit"></a>I don't see the "16-bit color" option on my JJ2 menu.
Some slower CPU's do not support the 16-bit color option, and so it is not included on the menu. The suggested solution is to upgrade your video card. ;)

<a id="retrieve"></a>When I try to join servers, I see an "Error Retrieving List Servers" message!
Download and use the latest list servers patch <a href="http://www.jazzjackrabbit.net/download.php">here.</a>

<a id="error"></a>I am getting an error with something.
Play it safe and post your problem in the <a href="http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/forumdisplay.php?f=9">Technical Help forum</a>. However, before you do so, read this topic (http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/showthread.php?t=5811) and follow all the links to make sure your problem has not already been answered. If you can't get any help, post away, and people will do their best to help you.

<a id="razz"></a>Who is Razz?
Razz a ma Tazz is Eva's cousin, a pilot/inventor character created by Dean Dodrill aka Noogy.

<a id="wubbo"></a>Who is Wubbo Ockles?
The original star of Jazz Jackrabbit, before it was turned into a game about a green rabbit. Wubbo Ockels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubbo_Ockels) was the first Dutch astronaut; JJ2 creator Arjan Brussee is from the Netherlands.

<a id="king"></a>Does Eva have a father?
Yes, it has been mentioned in a couple places that there is indeed a king of Carrotus. However, he has never been seen.

<a id="girlfriend"></a>Is Lori Spaz's girlfriend?
No. She was originally intended to be, but a last minute change turned her into Jazz and Spaz's sister.

<a id="darkshell"></a>Why did Devan start wearing a cape and stuff for Jazz Jackrabbit Advance?
That's not Devan Shell, that's Dark Shell.

<a id="203"></a>What is version 2.03?
Another name for version 1.24.

<a id="cc99"></a>What's the difference between Holiday Hare 98 and Christmas Chronicles?
Not too much. Christmas Chronicles is the 1.24 engine, the HH98 levels and has levels from the TSF editing contest back in 1999. It also comes with a copy of JCS.

<a id="battery"></a>What is "Battery Check"?
Battery Check is another game using the Jazz Jackrabbit 2 engine. You can download a demo here (http://www.dutchfurs.com/~haze/?cat=files&dir=files/pc/shareware).

<a id="gigantic"></a>What is "Animaniacs: A Gigantic Adventure"?
Gigantic is another game using the Jazz Jackrabbit 2 engine. You can download a demo here (http://www.dutchfurs.com/~haze/?cat=files&dir=files/pc/shareware).

<a id="tril"></a>What is "Jazz Jackrabbit Trilogy"?
Jazz Jackrabbit 1 episodes 2-4. 5-6 are unplayable, as is 1, which is odd because it's the shareware episode and thus available for free.

<a id="cd"></a>What is "Jazz Jackrabbit CD"?
Jazz Jackrabbit 1 episodes 1-6 , A, B, C, X (though not in all versions) and Z. The letter based episodes were missing in the original version.

The Secret Files.

<a id="xmas"></a>What is "Jazz Jackrabbit 2 X-Mas"?
The Secret Files.

<a id="diamond"></a>What is "Jazz Jackrabbit 2: Diamond Edition"?
An early name for The Secret Files.

<a id="winter"></a>What is "Jazz Jackrabbit 2: Winter Edition"?
An early name for Christmas Chronicles.

<a id="2000"></a>What is "Jazz Jackrabbit 2000"?
An early name for Christmas Chronicles.

<a id="123se"></a>What is JJ2 version "1.23 SE"?
A stripped down version of Jazz 2 with only one of the registered episodes.

<a id="3"></a>What is "Jazz Jackrabbit 3"?
One publisher sold Jazz 2 under the title of Jazz 3 for some unknown reason.

<a id="3d"></a>What is this "Jazz Jackrabbit 3D" I've heard about?
From 1998 to 2000, a group of people was working on a sequel to JJ2 called Jazz Jackrabbit 3D. It was eventually cancelled. A functional beta is floating around, but it is illegal to distribute.

<a id="jvs"></a>Which is the better character, Jazz or Spaz?
This question has been posted many times, so please don't make another poll about it. Anyway, neither are better overall, they're just both better for different situations.

<a id="tweedle"></a>What is "Tweedle"?
Tweedle is an unfinished boss which was originally going to appear in the Psych/Wonderland levels. He was probably going to take away your guns for the fight. You can see a picture of him here (http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/downloads/info.php?levelID=3447).

<a id="rt1"></a>What is "Rocket Turtle"?
Rocket Turtle is a boss which was never used in the game, and can be activated by using the Activate Boss event. It is functional, but is somewhat unable to actually attack you.

<a id="rt2"></a>When I use the Rocket Turtle, he flies out of the level and doesn't come back.
Place a large cloud of "Area ID" events above and to the left of the Rocket Turtle event, and create a long path of Area ID events coming out of the cloud. The Rocket Turtle will follow this path to the end, at which point it will stop moving.

<a id="comics"></a>Where can I find the comic from the JJ1 manual or the comic from the JJ2 manual?
JCF user <a href="http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/member.php?u=1592">n00b</a> has uploaded the comics from JJ1 and JJ2 to a gallery <a href="http://www.majhost.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=157222">here.</a>

<a id="font"></a>Where can I find the Jazz Jackrabbit 2 font? You know, the one that comes in lots of colors?
Jazz 2 uses a bitmap font, which is not supported by word programs, and which has never been fully ripped to an image in any size. The closest you can get so far is this (http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/downloads/info.php?levelID=2974) file.

<a id="secretpsm"></a>What is this "secret.psm" file from JJ1?
The music from the Deserto secret level.

<a id="scr1"></a>What is the screenshot key for JJ1?
Backspace+F2. Screenshots are saved as Screen#.lbm in the same folder as the .exe.

<a id="scr2"></a>What is the screenshot key for JJ2?
F12. Screenshots are saved as Jazz#.(pcx or tga, depending on your color depth) in the same folder as the .exe.

<a id="1251"></a>When will the 1.25 patch be released?
Nobody knows. Maybe never.

<a id="1252"></a>Why don't we make our own 1.25 patch?
We need the source code to JJ2 first.

<a id="1253"></a>I found <a href="http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/showthread.php?t=12632">this thread</a> about the 1.25 patch and it has screenshots!
That was an april fools joke, sorry.

<a id="fangame"></a>Why don't we make our own Jazz game?
People have thought of this before. If you want to organize a project, please make sure that you already some required skills, as you will not be able to make a game by telling us to make one. (You are quite likely to be able to find help with any number of non-work-related things, however, particularly game design.)

<a id="dead"></a>Is Jazz dead?
No. Shut up.

<a id="tchat"></a>How do I do team chat in multiplayer JJ2?
http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/articles/view.php?articleID=28

<a id="battlea"></a>What is "Battlea"?
Battlea.j2l is a special version of Battle1.j2l with a few differences, such as spikes and invincibility.

<a id="heat"></a>What are the "Heat Effect" and "Inside Plax" tile types in JCS?
I have no idea why your JCS would show those tile types, but rest assured that neither of them work or do anything at all.

<a id="valhalla"></a>When I complete the Secret Files, it gives me a password to use on a site, but the site no longer exists.
That is correct. All you would have gotten is a few home made levels, anyway. You can get better stuff at J2O. (http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/downloads/)

Great, I'll close and sticky this now. I don't think people really need to reply. If they have something to add or change, they can contact Unknown Rabbit. And if they have further questions on a topic they can create a new topic instead of replying to this one.

[Link]

I've decided to reopen this thread. People are more likely to view an active thread, and it may also be less daunting to post a question here than in a new thread.

[niek]

Yeah, it's a FAQ, the actual purpose of this thread is asking questions, I suppose.

[Grytolle]

That's not really the purpose of a FAQ.

[Speeza]

NOW IM HERE.

Back then i was not around this faq well now I am hahaha.
Anyway is holidyhare 98 on tsf

[ThunderPX]

NOW IM HERE.

No.

[Dictator Reverus]

Are there any mods for JJ2? Or any hidden JCS options? I'm trying to make a multiplayer level, but it would only work if running is turned off.

[Violet CLM]

That is an option that I don't think has been explored, but you could suggest it to the makers of <a href="http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/showthread.php?t=17567">JJ2+</a> as it sounds pretty cool. :)

i was wondering how do you convert .j2b files into mp3 files? or is it even possible?
i'm going insane over this

[CrimiClown]

i was wondering how do you convert .j2b files into mp3 files? or is it even possible?
i'm going insane over this

Indirectly, this is possible. There is a mod->j2b converter, so I assume the opposite also exists. Modules can be easily saved as MP3 in Modplug Tracker.

[Mephisot]

alright, i'm having a really tough time locating a j2b to mod converter, but i have Modplug Tracker so once i do find a converter i should be able to save them easily as mp3, as you said, so if anyone finds a j2b to mod converter, let me know please, thanks for the help btw

[CrimiClown]

You're welcome, if I could only find that tool myself... Well I bet there is someone here who can decode .j2b files into modules.

[Troglobite]

http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/downloads/info.php?levelID=3999
Will convert .j2b into .it, which ModPlug should be able to convert to mp3.

[Mephisot]

Thank you, Troglobite, it worked nicely, i was searching for about 3 months on how to do that, i swear i was going insane, thanks again to you too CrimiClown

Where can I find the comic from the JJ1 manual or the comic from the JJ2 manual?
JCF user n00b has uploaded the comics from JJ1 and JJ2 to a gallery here.


Isn´t there anymore. I´d erase this question or find another place, where someone can read it.( unfortunately i have no idea, where)

[Shatters]

One question is missing from the FAQ
Where is the "Browse Downloads" option? / Why is the "Browse Downloads" option removed?

[Stijn]

You mean the "browse all" link that used to be at the bottom of the Jazz2Online downloads page? There's no need for that anymore - you can browse downloads directly from the download index, through the search fields (at top) or by going to a different page (at the bottom).

[Shatters]

I must be blind because it ain't there. (or by going to a different page (at the bottom).)
The search field is there but...
I just want to browse through downloads not search for a - b - c ...

[Stijn]

Wait, you're right, the page numbers were gone, which is strange since I'm positive they were there yesterday. They are back now.

On a side note, please post questions and feedback related to the site here (http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/forumdisplay.php?f=14). This thread is about the game Jazz Jackrabbit ;)

[Shatters]

Well I needed at least one post to create a thread so... Hehe. :)
Thanks for the fix!

[Dermo]

hey... when you join a 1.23 server on 1.24 and hit a switch box...you can play as Lori. It's weird with all the animations the other players see. Now ummm...is there anyway to first off, join as Lori to a 1.23 server (other than Lorifier, I couldn't ever get that program to work right). Also, its just strange how you can play as a character that doesn't exist in that particular game. Are there any downsides or side effects (aside from Lori's limitations as a character)?

[abraker]

This might come out of nowhere, but how do you join a internet game in JJ2???

[CJB]

Hi, I wanted to create a thread but I'll just post here.

I just downloaded Jazz 2 but I cannot change my control settings. I have been to the menu where you select controls but when I click on the controls I want and go back to the game nothing happens. How can I select "Keyboard 2"?

Please help, thanks.

[Troglobite]

1. Open Jazz
2. Choose the "Options"
3. Choose "Controls"
4. Initially, "Keyboard 1" will be selected. While "Keyboard1" is highlighted, press the right or left arrow keys to switch to "Keyboard 2" or one of the joysticks.
5. To edit the controls, use the up and down arrows to highlight the control you wish to change.
6. When the correct control is highlighted, press enter the the game knows you wish to change it, then press the key you wish to assign.

[CJB]

1. Open Jazz
2. Choose the "Options"
3. Choose "Controls"
4. Initially, "Keyboard 1" will be selected. While "Keyboard1" is highlighted, press the right or left arrow keys to switch to "Keyboard 2" or one of the joysticks.
5. To edit the controls, use the up and down arrows to highlight the control you wish to change.
6. When the correct control is highlighted, press enter the the game knows you wish to change it, then press the key you wish to assign.

OK, I got all that, but where do I go from there?

Like I'll click Done, and when I being playing it's revert back to Keyboard 1 controls.

[Troglobite]

When playing single player, you are never able to use Keyboard 2. You'll have to change keyboard 1 to whatever set of keys you want to use.

For multiplayer, you can select which set of keys or which joystick you'll use on the same screen you use to edit your colors and choose a name.

[plunK]

As well though, if you press escape then go to options -- > controls, you can do fairly good customization as well as set 2 keys for each function

[CJB]

Darn, so I can't use "WASD" on keyboard 1?

I tried to but it wouldn't let me click "w" "a" "s" or "d" to replace up, left, right, and down. xD

[Troglobite]

Yes, you can use them in keyboard 1. You just may need to change the keys for keyboard 2 to something else first.

[yawnmoth]

I'd start a new thread but apparently am unable to do so, so I'll just post here, instead.

I'm stuck, in Jazz Jackrabbit 2. In the level entitled Jungle Jump, there are boulders that fall from the ceiling and roll after you. I somehow managed to get on top of a pair of these boulders, while it's still on the ceiling, and am now stuck.

What's worse is that that's my latest save, so unless I can somehow manage to kill Jazz, I can't progress in the game. And I've actually tried to kill Jazz. I've unleashed every weapon in his arsenal and nothing happens. If I bounce back with the rockets I bounce back into rock. If a dynamite explosion would push me down all it does is push me down into a boulder.

Any ideas?

[Troglobite]

Type jjk. This is a cheat code that will kill Jazz. Then forget that cheats exist, and continue playing.

[Violet CLM]

Or if you want a more detailed series of cheats that will get you out but not lose you a life: Type jjnowall, followed by jjfly, jjnowall, jjfly, and jjfly. Make sure you come out in the open air somewhere. Essentially, boulders are buggy and you can't get unstuck from that (or anything else) without cheating.

[MilloCz]

Could you tell me how can i have custom colors (also custom palette colors) in Jazz Singleplayer ?

[Jgke]

You cannot do it without haxing. And that, I think, is against the forum rules, so I won't tell about that.

[Seren]

Actually, in case you mean the thing that is done in Agama's Swamps, or more visibly in my Glowee, it's absolutely non-haxish. The effect however doesn't depend on the level, but on the tileset. Just replace the palette entries used by JJ2 with your colors of choice.

Another thing you can mean is use of the JJM script thingie. Not sure if player's colors change would work in SP, but at least a palette change should.

If you won't specify what kind of a change do you mean, it's really hard to help you. Do you even know anyone who's using custom colors in SP? Maybe would be smarter to ask him instead. And if you don't, wonder why do you even ask.

[MilloCz]

Why you're so rude ??? Now i have not good experience in j2o forums...

[MilloCz]

Friend, i want to use colors like this:
http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/3864/image2dnl.jpg
Just rabbit with custom palette which changes with level palette.
Editable with JazzTool or jed07b-e...

In singleplayer !!! :)

[Seren]

Huh. May be reachable with JJM (needs editing the levels and using an external program). Not sure however. In case it's not, yet you're very determined to use custom colors in SP, you can use JSD. I really don't recommend this solution though, as it'd need editing all the sprites of the rabbits, it's simply not worth it. Guess the simplest possibility would be using JJ2+ Singleplayer mode for a server in local network. It'd probably have downsides as well of course, even though I don't know what kind of them since I never really tested that mode exactly.


Edit: Oh man, I should seriously learn to say things in a better order, from the best to the worst. Don't feel like changing it now though.

[Treylina]

Hmm, I actually have a program (but made by someone else and isn't being distributed yet) which can edit fur locally and even enables you to use it in single player too. It has some other nice additional features to it as well. I should really prompt...

[Nerd]

You can use Cheat Engine to change your fur in SP (I have done it). You have to scan for the current fur color indices. That way you should be able to find two memory locations with 4-byte variables, one holding the "current fur" and the other the "permanent fur". Alternatively, you could use the memory addresses provided in here (http://www.jazz2online.com/wiki/?List_of_Jazz_Jackrabbit_2_Memory_Addresses).

I actually meant the Cheat Engine part, sorry for writing that post in a confusing way. I just asked to be sure, as Jake brought up the possibility of publishing cheating methods being forbidden.

Okay, never mind then.

[GLaDOS]

Hmm, I actually have a program (but made by someone else and isn't being distributed yet) which can edit fur locally and even enables you to use it in single player too. It has some other nice additional features to it as well. I should really prompt...

I might release it sometime after I rewrote a part of it and added 1.23 compatibility... (yes, I am the one who wrote the program) also, these "additional features", which are actually the main features, are in fact small tweaks to the JJ2 engine based on suggestions for JJ2+ which were (seemingly) ignored. (Hopefully they're not considered hacks/cheats, they don't allow you to do otherwise impossible things.)

You can use Cheat Engine to change your fur in SP (I have done it).

The function allows you to change fur locally in multiplayer. While editing fur in SP is easy, you always have to kill your rabbit to display the modified fur in MP. The fur edits are immediately displayed, without killing your rabbit.

[Camou]

I haven't been here in AGES. Tried to search, but could not find an answer
Is .j2b playback broken in the newest JJ2+? Music in custom levels work, as long as they don't use .j2b.

[Jgke]

Not as far as I know.

[Camou]

Ergh :x any way to fix it? Music is not muted and at max volume, but there is no music in the Jazz levels or menus. Sounds do work.

[cooba]

Works for me

[Jgke]

And they work without plus on the same install? Try running as an administrator, perhaps?

[Camou]

Normal jazz2 1.23 works, on the same computer.
Though I got JJ2 from Abandonia and replaced all the .j2bs I already had, and for some reason it works now.

[Grytolle]

Camou is back :D!!

[Love & Thunder]

Sorry for the thread revival, but I need a question answered:

Where do I download the latest List Server Patch? The current link here is broken.

[Jgke]

Plus should have it?

[Sean]

I don't get why he's so anti-plus. It's not illegal in the slightest sense.

[Jgke]

It breaks JJ2's TOS, but that doesn't make it illegal.

[Sean]

Then again, as noted, uploading level packs to J2O breaks JJ2's TOS as well. :D

[Love & Thunder]

Plus is illegal because it modifies the JJ2 EXE, which is illegal except for home use. If someone can prove to me that JJ2+ isn't illegal, then I will get Plus. But, even then, I'm not sure my version of JJ2 is compatible(It's the LK Avalon TSF version).

[Jgke]

Plus is illegal because it modifies the JJ2 EXE
Where do you live?
which is illegal except for home use
And you would start distributing this .exe? JJ2+ does not give you a modified Jazz2.exe, it gives you a patch that automatically injects the plus.dll to JJ2. If you feel that modifying Jazz2.exe is illegal, you can always just run plus.exe which does nothing permanent to Jazz2.exe.

[Love & Thunder]

The UK.

[Stijn]

Did you ever play a level pack? Are you using JJ2 commercially?

[Love & Thunder]

Yes, I do download level packs off J2O, but I don't see how downloading levels off J2O is breaking the Terms of Service. It's against the Terms of Service to sell your levels(That's what it means by commercial use), but it's fine to just upload it online.

[Jgke]

You are expressly prohibited from creating, using or selling any unauthorized level packs, add-on packs or sequels based upon or related to the SOFTWARE.
So, level packs are forbidden. By playing one, you have already violated the TOS, and it doesn't matter if you use plus or not.

[Stijn]

4. Restrictions. Other than as provided specifically in this Agreement, You are not permitted to copy or otherwise reproduce this SOFTWARE; modify or prepare derivative copies based on the SOFTWARE; distribute copies of the SOFTWARE by sale or other transfer of ownership; rent, lease, or lend the SOFTWARE; or to display the SOFTWARE publicly.

[Love & Thunder]

Hm. Didn't know that. I'm sure Epic doesn't mind...

Wait a sec, CREATING?! What the hell?

[Jgke]

I'm sure Epic doesn't mind...
And so far Epic hasn't minded JJ2+ either. It's your choise, shall you abandon the TOS completely, or just ignore the parts you don't like (does this sound familiar?)
E: Pageclaim with a religous attack!!!

[Love & Thunder]

I'll E-Mail CliffyB, and see what he thinks about this, and if he minds if I get Plus and Level Packs.

[cooba]

I'll E-Mail CliffyB, and see what he thinks about this, and if he minds if I get Plus and Level Packs.CliffyB couldn't care any less whether you play with an extra DLL file or not. Don't waste his time.

[Love & Thunder]

Okay then, who can I ask?

EDIT: I can't find the Terms of Service anywhere in my installation or the installer for my version of JJ2. I did find the License.txt, but that said nothing about Level Packs, therefore, it is not illegal for me to download Level Packs. I win. I have the LK Avalon version of JJ2 TSF, just so you know.

[Sean]

In which case it is also not illegal for you to use the JJ2+ patch. It works both ways.

[Toni_]

I am trolling around. This is something like "c'mon girl, show me ur b**bz"...

[Love & Thunder]

Nope, it says in the license:
YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO REVERSE ENGINEER, DECOMPILE OR
DISASSEMBLE THE SOFTWARE IN ANY WAY.
I win.

EDIT: Whoever down-repped me, please PM me saying exactly WHY you Down-repped me, all you put was "false". What does that mean?!

EDIT 2: Whoever it is who keeps negrepping me, stop it.

[Sean]

Somehow you say I win as if this is something to gloat about. Like you can stand on a hill and say "MWAHAHAHAHAHA! YOUR PLAN TO..." eh, you get the idea. But whatever, it's your loss in the end.

[plunK]

If you read how JJ2+ works then you would see that it doesn't reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble JJ2 in any way....Just saying. JJ2+ is a fan-made ADDITION that when run, uses a .dll to run additional features to enhance the experience. New .j2ls add levels, JJ2+ adds gameplay. If you want a metaphor think of it this way: You are using an Internet browser, and you download a toolbar. The toolbar doesn't mess around with anything already in the browser, buts adds a few useful quirks that improve functionality and ease of use for the user, and change the overall layout a bit. Are browsing toolbars illegal? Nope. In fact some are encouraged by the creator as it shows user-devotion and a wider user-base.

That's just by two-bits on this somewhat ridiculous debate.

[Love & Thunder]

I'll look into Plus, then. If it's definately 100% fine and good, I'll get it.

EDIT: My version of TSF(LK Avalon) isn't compatible with plus.

[Jgke]

If you have the LK Avalon, I believe you should have the right to download 'normal' TSF. I'll PM you a link.

[Love & Thunder]

I apreciate the offer, but no thanks.

EDIT: I've thought about it, and I'm downloading it now.

EDIT 2: Anyone know how to get LK Avalon TSF to work with Plus?

[plunK]

Yes, I am certain plus is not harmful or illegal. And even if in the future a mod for Jazz Jackrabbit was released that did edit code, Epic would not care.Epic has shown to be one of the most pro-modding game companies out there as the Unreal Series has one of the largest game mod communities out there and recent games in the Unreal and Gears of War series' have INCLUDED software to create, integrate and run mods, even on the PS3 version, and have run official supported community mod contests offering liscence deals and $1,000,000 prizes to the best mod. If you emailed them about it they would just say "okay, we don't particularly care"

[Love & Thunder]

... That doesn't answer my question: How do I get Plus working on LK Avalon.

[Camou]

Robo, you make me sad inside, how can someone be such an idiot :'(
I guess you never download any movies or music either.

[Obi1mcd]

There's no simple way to get it to work. Even though some users have managed to get it sort-of working, the bottom line is it isn't really meant to work. The LK Avalon version of TSF has a number of differences in the way the code is ordered, or at least that's the impression I'm under, so that although it plays the same, a patch wouldn't do all that well. If there's a user out there that knows how to do it and is willing to help, that's fine, but I think you should consider downloading normal TSF and patching that instead.

[Love & Thunder]

Robo, you make me sad inside, how can someone be such an idiot :'(
I guess you never download any movies or music either.
... What? I don't get what you're saying or what you mean, but I assume it's something to do with the fact that I want my LK Avalon TSF to work with Plus. And why are you calling me an idiot? I know it's possible, I've heard people have done it a few times. And what do you mean "I guess you never downloading any movies or music either."?
A) That has no relevence;
and B) It's not good to promote illegal activity.

So, to sum up, I am not the idiot here.

Oh, and Obi1mcd, I will get/patch normal TSF, but I would like to at least try to get the version I actually have working.

[Obi1mcd]

Like I said, it isn't going to be easy at all, and it would take about 10 minutes to do it with normal TSF.

[Love & Thunder]

If I wanted to be told that what I want is stupid/impossible and be insulted, I would've suggested that we make another JJ3 Revival. I simply want to know how to try something. I don't care what the downside is. Now, unless you have something nice to say, don't say it.

[Obi1mcd]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to annoy you.

[Love & Thunder]

It's alright, I won't down-rep you or anything. I'm thinking about down-repping Camou, though. It's just plain mean to call someone an idiot for simply asking how to do something with one of your favourite games.

[Jgke]

I could take a shot at LK Avalon when I come home. I'll try to PM you on monday.

[Love & Thunder]

Cool, thanks. :D

If I buy the retail Jazz 2 box that claims 'Jazz 1' is included inside the box, what am i getting? and extra cd with the first game, the first game in a folder on the same disc where Jazz 2 is included, or some kind of voucher to download it?

Thanks for the answers

[shaney]

my question is will jj2 ever die , and will u give me the awnser shaney02005@gmail.com my email . and for pc problems u can contact me for online advice with jj2 etc its free

Thanks for the answers

When I bought JJ2 years back, JJ1 wasn't in the box. There was a small slip of paper saying there was a mistake and a number to call to have the disk sent to me from Gathering of Developers. Normally, I figure it would be a separate disk inside the box. If you get the voucher, there's really no chance to redeem it anymore... I think. Godgames went under, right?

[Love & Thunder]

Sort of. In 2000, they were bought, then the main guy died in 2001, then they rebranded, then they folded into 2K Games. Basically, they aren't GOD Games anymore, and I doubt they do that service anymore.

(Short answer: Depends on how you look at it. I think of them as long gone.)

[Daniel]

Well, I love Jazz, so I already purchased it, last week. I live outside the States, so I may be recieving the box in a month, maybe =/ . If anything, I'll post in here what's my 'situation' regarding the box.

Thanks a lot for your answer, guys; they always come in handy.

[Daniel]

Just recieved Jazz Jackrabbit 2. What a beautiful big box :3. But, just like Hare, I got a piece of paper saying there was a mistake. Shame on that, really. Otherwise, it's good :).

[Violet CLM]

Take photos! I've never seen one of those pieces of paper.

[Daniel]

Seriously, this will go down as my biggest disappointment ever... ok, ok, not really, but I was expecting Jazz 1 inside. The box says I'm entitled to it :O!

[Love & Thunder]

And now I have a question: Has anyone ever seen or heard of any copies of Jazz 2 that actually DID come with Jazz 1? If so, in what form did it come?

[Nonomu198]

Form of: Broken Promises!

[Kazuyon]

Is these forum/pages in here still active? I'm new here and there's almost no major recent activities besides the JJ1 LPs...

[Stijn]

Yes, they're still active

[Love & Thunder]

Not as active as it was in the early days of JJ2, but still active nontheless. :)

[Kazuyon]

I see... at least there is still people here... :x

[KRSplatinum]

And now I have a question: Has anyone ever seen or heard of any copies of Jazz 2 that actually DID come with Jazz 1? If so, in what form did it come?

At least, I got that same paper, and they sent me JJ1, so arguably, it still did come with JJ1.

[Love & Thunder]

Ah, but it didn't actually come with a copy of JJ1, it came with a piece of paper that allowed you to obtain a legitimate copy of it, so it didn't actually come with Jazz 1.

[Speaktrap]

I think today we would call it a DLC

[Hare]

Here's a photo of the envelope they sent, if anyone is interested. Postmarked May 18th, 2000. I wish I still had my original JJ2 box. I had the receipt in it and everything. It was the first thing I ever bought online... Along with rabbit food. I had just gotten a rabbit around that time XD.

http://drawingforward.com/img/jj/jj1-godgames-envelope.jpg

[Love & Thunder]

Is that the version that runs on Windows 9x natively?

If so, does it run on modern versions of Windows?

[Hare]

@Robo4900 No, its the old DOS version. Was there a Windows release? GoDGames tried to talk me out of it over the phone when I called the number on the voucher. "This game doesn't run well on newer computers because JJ1 can't handle faster processing speeds", they said. Not like I could afford a newer PC. It worked fine on my 200 MHz Pentium.

To get the game, all I had to do was prove I bought JJ2 by reading something from the back of the manual. Anyone could have gotten JJ1 for free at that point XD. Shoot, I could have called them up again from another phone and shipped a copy to a friend. That wouldn't be an honest thing to do, but it is funny to think about. I miss how simple things were 14 years ago...

This is going to be one of my "grandpa" stories one of these days.

[Love & Thunder]

Was there a Windows release?
I remember hearing that they re-released the CD version of the game in 1996, and it ran natively on Win9x. Perhaps I heard wrong.

Hehe. That's quite funny, actually.
That would never happen now with some devs not even trusting people who are 100% definitely guaranteed to be legit customers. XD

[KRSplatinum]

You could probably STILL buy an unopened version of 1.22 JJ2 with that card in it advertising for JJ1. But JJ1 runs on DOSbox now as opposed to being native to Windows. They're just two different operating systems, one would probably have to recompile the whole original project just for it to be a version of JJ1 that could compete with OpenJazz.

That reminds me of Jazz Jackrabbit for Windows Phone by Dobermann Software, which also uses Windows 8, which is a true port of JJ1 to Windows Phone. However, it's been taken out of the marketplace because it's not the 'real' "Jazz Jackrabbit" therefore it's copyright infringement. It'd be more accurately described on the Windows Store as being a Jazz Jackrabbit Port.

[Love & Thunder]

If only Epic would release JJ1 on a portable device.

If I could play JJ1 on my DS, that would entirely eliminate all boredom.

[Hare]

Or if they would release the games on Steam and GoG, finally X_X.

I have no idea why there aren't doing this. JJ1 has almost 5,000 votes on GoG right now.

[Love & Thunder]

Yeah... Well, I think they'll do that sometime this year, considering it would require next to no effort on Epic's part, it would give them a little extra money on the side without costing them anything, and it would certainly quiet us down about it. :)

[Hare]

Yeah. It would be great if they made a big thing out of the 20th anniversary. I was honestly expecting something in 2011 for the Chinese year of the rabbit. It just seemed like a good promotional opportunity.

We got a shirt and the soundtracks, though. The games could very well be next.

Okay, i don't know if this is the right thread to post my idea, and i don't like blowing your people's minds with suggestions and such. But, i have a little idea for YET ANOTHER JJ2 tournament...
So, you know how at the national tournament of jj2 countries play ctf for the best ctf playing country? Well, this time it's the same, but they're not fighting for just ctf, they're fighting for all gamemodes. Just like when countries play alot of sports at the olympic games, and the winner is the country with the most medals. I hope you all know what i mean what i'm trying to say :P
However though, I am nobody to orginise such a tournament. So, the reason i'm posting this is:
1. I just need (ALOT) of help with it. I'm not orginised enough to... well... host a tournament. I barely have time for JJ2 now. So if there is some people here who are capable of doing this stuff instead of me, i would be very happy :P.
2. There wasn't a JDC or a NT for a long time, and i think this kind of big tournament should be a snap.

And yes i posted something on a thread which wasn't updated with replies for months.Happy?

[Violet CLM]

So this video is made by Epic Games showing how to create a game, and uses Jazz as an example? Despite the fact that Jazz looks odd as fuck, it's nice that Epic still remembers about the good ol' green furred rabbit. Is it on the appstore? Under what name?

[KRSplatinum]

I played it on my computer. All you have to do is download the Unreal Development Kit, the Jazz demo comes with it. But the control scheme is meant for a touch-screen hand-held device, so it's increasingly hard to play on a traditional PC.

Does it work for Android too? Does it have a name?

[KRSplatinum]

It's been called Jazz Jackrabbit Stick Shooter, or at least, that returns the most search results other than UDK iOS. The controls would of course work for Android touch-screen devices. But you might want to turn the vibrate off on the device if you're going to paly on Andriod, at least I would ;p. Anyway it's programmed to work on iPod, iPhone or iPad, I guess you would just have to export it from the Unreal Development Kit demo. There's a tutorial on how to do so if you have an iPod, iPhone or iPad.

But you might want to turn the vibrate off on the device if you're going to paly on Andriod, at least I would ;p. Anyway it's programmed to work on iPod, iPhone or iPad, I guess you would just have to export it from the Unreal Development Kit demo. There's a tutorial on how to do so if you have an iPod, iPhone or iPad.

For more information here's the "press release" so to speak from Epic:

Thanks for all this information, but how can I make it work on my Android mobile? What do I have to install, and where can I get the .apk file if there is one?

I don't know how to port it from UDK to Android mobile. There's many examples of apps designed for both Android and iOS though. Maybe ask Epic if they can make UDK for Android.

Alrighty. Thanks for the answers!

No problemo. I really hope you find a way to get this game on Android! Or even onto iOS...

Where can I download the first beta of JJ2?

[Primpy]

Oh come on, there's no place I can find a beta version?

[Obi1mcd]

It's been made quite clear that you aren't going to get a download link from here; it's against the rules.

[Love & Thunder]

Primpy, there are many, many places to ask that aren't here. There are some forums that are just more lax about this kind of thing, and there are forums that are exactly about this kind of thing. Choose one, and try asking there.

[Stijn]

Someone could just send him the link via a PM though.

(I don't have it)

[Jelly Jam]

Problem solved, i gave him the link for version 1.00g.
I had no idea he was talking about these versions when he said beta, lol.
Anyway, i sent him a message via Skype. No more talking about beta versions :)
Would be really cool to se the ACTUALL BETA of jj2, though.

Would be really cool to se the ACTUALL BETA of jj2, though.

The only published (read: leaked) thing that most closely resembles the concept of a 'beta' would be 1.10o. It more closely resembles the final product than 1.00g and 1.00h did, but is far glitchier and didn't have a publisher determined.

Still, JJ2's development was supposedly kind of rushed, and considering the problems with the 1.00 versions I doubt the devs had interesting inhouse builds that would be nice for us to see. The real intresting beta's are for games that have been in 'development hell' which were redone almost completely. Think about LameDuke (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtAqw-KyOgw) for Duke Nukem 3D, or some Nintendo games reviewed by Beta64 (https://www.youtube.com/user/Beta64Channel).

I will check my messages when I go on PC. Many thanks though! ;)

Primpy, the beta versions of JJ2 came with some PCs (maybe Gateway PCs or maybe not) and the only official way to get the beta versions of JJ2 is buy a PC manufactured and released from the 1998 era that happens to still be on sale.

In other words, it's virtually impossible to legally obtain the beta, since I doubt computer stores keep 16-year old computers in stock. But if you bought a computer around that time, it might have come with a JJ2 beta.

But yeah, it's common practice to include random games with computers. My favorite examples of this are Minesweeper and POD racing.

Yeah... this game. http://www.gog.com/game/pod_gold

POD Gold. It was freaking awesome, I loved it and it had the best music, in fact now that I found it on GOG.com I'm almost about to buy it and see if it'll run, considering the price.

That's off-topic though. The way Epic released the JJ2 betas (there's 2 versions), they weren't intended as a demo nor a shareware release, just a beta test. And there's no reason to redo a beta test when they already fixed beta bugs.

I know most of these stuff, but unfortunately I haven't bought any Intel products in the '97-'98 (Maybe because I wasn't born, duuh.) At the moment I want to fill up my collection of Jazz Jackrabbit games on my PC, and the beta is missing. Also, I like the beta HUDs more than the ones used in the actual game. I don't know why, but the beta is more appealing to me.

Sorry but I didn't receive any link. Can you send it to me on primpymail@gmail.com or tell me how can I check messages from other people than the contacts? I'm dumb.

[Primpy]

Ok, so apparently I had the wrong Skype name on this forum. Send it again, please? :)

[Jelly Jam]

Dunno if this is the right thread to ask this, but, is it possible to ADD more animations into the library using Jazz Sprite Dynamite?

[cooba]

No and no

I think they had some 'inhouse builts', Look at the interview with Nick Standler
http://www.jazz2online.com/news/679/interview-with-jazz-jackrabbit-artist-nick-stadler/
Quote:Initially, between each “scene” there was to be a 3D time warp sequence in which Jazz and Devan were to battle with each other until they reached the next destination. Arjan actually coded a 3D sequence for it which looked pretty damned cool. We just couldn’t make it work.

[Slaz]

We just couldn’t make it work.
That probably says enough. The 3D sequence would likely be an EWJ 'Andy Astroids' style effect. I'd sure like to see it though if Nick made additional spriting for it, yet I doubt the idea ever came that far.

[Primpy]

Erm, sorry for bothering you again Jelly Jam but I can't make an account on the website you sent me to. I don't receive the activation message. Can you give me a direct link or somewhere I can download it easier, without requiring an account? (such as Mediafire)

what the heck are you talking about? you don't need an account...

Please continue this conversation on Skype or via PMs or some other means of private messaging.

I'm closing this thread because it's going hideously off-topic.
