Where can I get (a patch)?

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 check here if you want to buy it online.

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.

How do I make levels for JJ1?

I have the Macintosh version of JJ2. How do I make levels?
You can't. There is no JJ2 level editor for macs.

Where do I buy (insert Jazz game here)?
Follow this link, or do a Froogle search.

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. Downloading full versions of any games other than Holiday Hare 94 and Holiday Hare 95 is illegal and is not supported by these forums.

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.

When I try to join servers, I see an "Error Retrieving List Servers" message!
Download and use the latest list servers patch here.

I am getting an error with something.
Play it safe and post your problem in the Technical Help forum. However, before you do so, read this topic 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.

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.

What is "Animaniacs: A Gigantic Adventure"?
Gigantic is another game using the Jazz Jackrabbit 2 engine. You can download a demo here.

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.

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.

What is "Jazz Jackrabbit 2: Special Edition"?

What is "Jazz Jackrabbit 2 X-Mas"?

What is JJ2 version "1.23 SE"?

What is "Jazz Jackrabbit 3"?
One publisher sold Jazz 2 under the title of Jazz 3 for some unknown reason.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 file.

What is this "secret.psm" file from JJ1?
The music from the Deserto secret level.

What is the screenshot key for JJ1?
Backspace+F2. Screenshots are saved as Screen#.lbm in the same folder as the .exe.

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.

When will the 1.25 patch be released?
Nobody knows. Maybe never.

Why don't we make our own 1.25 patch?
We need the source code to JJ2 first.

I found this thread about the 1.25 patch and it has screenshots!
That was an april fools joke, sorry.

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.)

Is Jazz dead?
No. Shut up.

How do I do team chat in multiplayer JJ2?
http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/art...p?articleID=28

What is "Battlea"?
Battlea.j2l is a special version of Battle1.j2l with a few differences, such as spikes and invincibility.

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.

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.
