Random feature request
This has come to be my #1 wanted feature for jj2+.
How about finally getting some use out of both the bonus level AND secret level fields? JCS Lets you put in a total of three "next levels" in the JCS settings, but only lets you use two of them with events...
It would be awesome if all three would be usable. The best way I can see of doing this is adding an extra field to the next level event, where 0 sends you to the next level, 1 sends you to the secret level, and 2 sends you to the bonus level. This would keep it backwards compatible.
An extra step could be to add this feature to the "secret level" event as well, because it has the nice feature of having quick level transitions, and in JJ2+ that's about all it does now anyway (not sure if this is an intentional change but whatever). Of course, the problem with this event is the default behaviour is to send you to the bonus level, so configuring it to be able to send you to all 3 wouldn't be as intuitive (0 would have to be the bonus level, 1 the secret level, and 2 the regular level, or something like that).
Anyway my reason for this feature request is pretty simple. I'm working on something right now that basically requires either scripting, or the ability to use 3 exits. Scripting is crazy full fledged plan with tons of gameplay changes... but I have a much more likely and realistic plan B which only requires one new feature, and that feature is more than two exits per level.
If I knew that this feature would be in the next JJ2+, I could start doing some serious level design on this project and probably release a demo or "Part 1" in a few months, or whenever the update comes out if later. Otherwise, I'm going to just put JCS aside for now since this project is really the only thing I'm interested in working on.
