Unreleased/Unfinished Programs
Console: Probably Overlord's most useful program he's ever made, and yet there isn't a sign of it being released any time soon. It has a wide variety of features that can be used by a server and a few things I'm particularly interested in, including idle kicking and random levels.
Chatlog for XP: Link might have been released this program already had he found a better method for recording chat in JJ2. If you have any ideas, it would be highly appreciated.
Episode Maker: So Zapper and others can stop complaining once and for all. (I'm indifferent otherwise, so just let Violet do his work.)
Programs Never Made
A Fake Health Solution: JJ2 is long overdue for a program that tries to offer a solution for fake health. I have some idea of how it could work, like a client will get updated health according to what the server sees. Clients wouldn't need to run this program, but it would be in their best interest. In #jj2, it was mentioned that a server would have to run a program as well, although I don't see as too much of a program. There was another suggestion for a fix in #jj2, but I wouldn't know exactly how it works. (Sorry for not giving credits to those who gave suggestions.)
A Stats Program: Assuming Console doesn't do this already, it would be nice if at least one program has this capability. It has the same problems as Chatlog though, because recording information through memory is buggy. A program like this would be especially useful for JDC, and I personally would like the ability to record roasts in a team game.
Respawn for loose weapons Built into jazz2.exe See third post. A one-time fix basically means no one can forget to run the needed program whenever hosting.
Lower Priority Programs
Trigger Stopwatch: Basically it records time for the server according to whenever a global trigger is activated. The stopwatch is activated once a specific crate is triggered. It would have to be customizable with a seperate text file that lists usable levels (particularly for Assault) and what each trigger does in each level. Therefore, each level would have to designate a start trigger as well as every other trigger (possibly for each team).
More programs will be added to this list as more reasonable suggestions are made.

The chat strings are stored in a series of addies based on their location from the bottom of the screen I would give them up but..... you are in the J2HG and what have you ever done for me? (NOTHING) The addies store them as hex values.(If you don't understand what I am talking about it is not directed at you  )
Regarding Overlord's project which has been dubbed console... I have seen it since someone not gonna name any names has a vulnerability in the apache installed on their compy.... Mine will be better Also another old proggie that I didn't see on the list is Overlord's VCR which I just obtained the source code for so expect it soon.
I also think we should reprogram the list server to record stats using programs such as the dedicated server program which I will be releasing in a few(once it is past alpha testing).
