Well I deleted my old plus exe so I'm making a new one. I make one, crashes. No Violations, just Jazz 2 has stopped responding error report. Make a screen or movie later

run plushier....does that make all the characters and enemies look more furry and soft?

There's information on how to do this in the readme already. It's an extremely simple process (just copy and paste), and if you know enough to make a level using trigger zones / mce's, you know enough to be able to edit two lines in the ini.

hah the delay thing and everything else is awesome. except i have no clue how to use the command and line arguments like -spaz, -list etc. further then that great job. especially the fixes.

When/if Blur is going to add more of them these two lines will become much more.

But as the instructions are already in the readme, my suggestion was not needed after all, as that's exactly what I suggested (okay, maybe it's not step-by-step, but it's fine anyway)

Looked over the list of updates and they all seem very useful so far. I'm especially happy with the extra support treasure mode got.

Sadly... same for me, when running under vista x64.
Under XP or win2k it works fine.

For anyone crashing after "applying" the last update:

The Plusifier DOES NOT need to be used every time plus.dll or any other file gets updated

every jj2+ exe crashed like this:



winxp, sp2

yes that's my error, too
Maybe kernel32.dll, but i don't know

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH-kaWrKPQo the video is just uploaded dunno when it works ,


in this video u see 2 jj2+ zips the (2) file is the older version the (4) is the latest , as u see what i do on this vid i show u how jj2 works , then crashes and then how i put all back to normal

Hi, I just find out about JJ2+, great initiative. I've been playing the game for many years now, I found out about this "plus" when searching for extra options in the Treasure-hunt partymode, my favorite.

The plus works on my laptop (ThinkPad T60, WinXP SP3) but not on my parent's PC (WinXP SP3 as well). It crashes after the logo-screen, just like the people above me. By the way, I use the Secret Files.

I hope it will be fixed soon

I got mine fixed by doing a fresh install on windows. Probably a windows update because i don't have in right now.

I figured out what the problem was. Another update will be coming soon.

Also, I should point out users using 64-bit machines might have problems trying to use a patched JJ2 exe to run JJ2+. I may fix this soon as well.

I am also now unable to run JJ2+. I get to the menu, then get the Vista "this program has stopped working" thing. For what it's worth, I am using x64 Ultimate.

for anyone that has problems with the new jj2+ till its fixed for us , please contact me shaney02005@gmail.com (also my msn adress i aint on allways) i gladly still have the older version , u cto in the ab server btw with it




yes i am really sucky in some things but i care for people , so if u dont got the old jj2+ wile the new one crashes for u i got the old , no pays or what ever needed just ask me

I made an update that should fix most people's problems.

Are there any known problems with running the jj2udp program with JJ2+ (nothing in the readme file)? Because I use jj2udp to launch jj2+ but even though it says it receives data (so the recv doesn't say 0 baud like it does when I launch without jj2udp), I still get "connection timed out" message after 30 seconds or so.

Thanks.

This is kind of a random thought, but it would be interesting if JJ2 had some form of VPN connection built in. It seems like it wouldn't take that much work to get the list server to host a network, and for the JJ2 client to invisibly join it, thus forever destroying the 30 second time-out problem. However, it might take significantly more work than I realize.

Either way, I think lots of people would like that.

it works for me now but the strange thing is i keep ctoing in the AB server but not in other servers

Sounds very interesting, indeed!

And as we are talking about list servers anyway, any chances custom lists are coming?

If you are getting CTO on the AB server, join with hamachi.

I've got a strange problem (sometimes) which doesn't have to be directly connected to JJ2+ or JJ2UDP, the game appears to crash in some situations after loading a new level or returning to the title screen, it exits fullscreen mode leaving me with a black window at the top. Looking at the Windows task mananger it appears like Jazz2 is then closed from the applications list and still 'functional' under the processes tab. But I haven't found a way to put it back there so I just closed the Jazz2.exe process in those cases, and restarted the game from the beginning. I'm running the game under Vista 32Bit SP1, but I suppose this form of 'crash' happened on previous systems as well, just a lot less, I'm not sure.

I have noticed that in JJ2+ boss music doesn't play (activate boss event).

yea I noticed that too the music of the lvl keep playing until u defeat the boss.Well is not a major problem

I accidentally changed made JJ2 load the s3m versions of the boss music instead of the j2b versions. It'll be fixed with the next update.

I'll have to look into this, but currently I have no idea how to fix it.

The problem I explained doesn't happen too often and if I remember correctly, it happened on the original 1.23 as well (without JJ2+). So don't make it any top priority or something.

Somewhat of a strange bug report;

While testing Wind Meister 4, needless to say I fell into some warps. It sounds like two sounds are played when I do; the warp sound, and also the morph sound?

I can't be sure it's the morph sound at the end, but I am fairly sure warps haven't always sounded like that.

JJ2 has always played two sounds, one entering the warp and one leaving.

I'm aware of that, Mike, but the second sound has never been this.

I've narrowed the sound down; I am pretty sure it is the sound you hear when you shoot a morph box. Except you hear it when you go through a warp.

It has always been that sound. Load JJ2 without JJ2+ and see for yourself. If it's playing a different sound, there is something wrong with your anims.j2a.

Sounds can get distorted if you have too many ambient sounds in the level.

I once made a patch to remove that bubbling sound from the warping process.
Makes it sound much cooler

Huh, after doing some thorough looking, it appears that I've been using Overlord's Anti-AV JJ2 exe when not using JJ2+. Any chance said patch is included in that, Overlord? :P

so if i made s3m copies of the obss music, in theory this will work?

BN: Nope, the patch was private, but if anyone is interested I may share my jj2 changes.

EDIT: Oh, and don't use that anti-av patch, it's ancient.

Lol, Don't play JJ2 un-plus (not minus, just not plus.. like JJ2 'zero' (no more no less) but JJ20 looks like JJ twenty so let's just call it un-plus as it is not plus instead of being plus and un-plus is just that). It's ancient.


Or rather, it's prehistoric XD

The new cheat prevention is really cool, but has some flaws. For example, if you switch the gamemode to coop or single player, you obviously keep weapons from one level to the next. But online, the cheat prevention doens;t allow you to use them if the weapons don't exist in the next level.

I hosted something in single player mode last night, and cheat prevention didn't kick in even after jjgod and jjshield were used. Dunno if this applies to coop.
