Always cool to see someone with an earlier registration date than mine!
It's late, so I'm just going to take the obvious route and plug the JJ2+ mod project. JCS is no longer the final frontier... now you can import external sprites, sounds, music files (including .mp3 tracks), etc., and run everything via scripting language instead of sucker tubes and trigger zones. Even the built-in Race gamemode has gotten a few upgrades, though it can't do everything the old sucker tubes did yet.
Nobody knows what Epic has against Jazz these days; they're very hard to get any words out of, let alone republishing. Nobody knows what happened to Mez either I think.
( Here's some AJ2F context for those who don't recognize the name, fwiw.)
