That can easily be fixed by disabling the ability to join on a selected team.

But you need that for certain gametypes and CTF events (such as JDC officials vs. JDC members).

I heard a little rumor about a release code release from someone. IMO, the chances of a leaked source code being released is about as likely as Uberbob's chances of dating Araches. Anyways, 1.25g hasn't actually been released yet, but has been now, but with one minor change: Typing jjshield 4 times will not get you the laser shield though it is still obtainable with an external program. So, are you going to thank me or what?

Get it here. Sorry for Rapidshare.

And then Dev decided to screw up the Uberbob storyline...

I'm wondering if it's possible to make a seperate version of the JJ2 exe just for dedicated servers.

Wow... This is getting good. UNKNOWNFILE, you just earned all the respect this ol' clown can give ya.

I'll be looking forward to the last update. I'm too lazy to check every day if I have to download version 1.25u-17*5 again.

I have an idea for a, probably easy to fix, bug.

When you CTO, having an error while downloading a file, or in case the server denies you, you're advised to look at www.jazzjackrabbit.com. Since that has been down for a while now, it might be usfeul to delete it

Good news! Thanks to Spoy, the 1.25 patch site is now 100% less crappy. You can still find it at www.fooproducts.com/125patch.shtml. Enjoy!

Also, could you change normal text? I found out a few spelling errors in the Dutch language settings... I'll spot them for you.

I think he deleted it. To get the patch you'd have to know J2O exists.

If I try to install the 1.25g patch using the jj2125g_updater.exe file, I get this message:

Code:
This program cannot update the installed version of Jazz Jackrabbit 1.25g "Overlord" because of the following reason:

c:\Games\Jazz2\Jazz2.exe: unknown version.
How can I fix this...?

tsk. In order to patch this, you'll need Jazz Jackrabbit 2 1.23, CRC-32 checksum 3E4E1392.

An IPS version will be coming soon, as I find it a lot easier to use that instead of the patch making software I used to create the .exe's.

How nice of you, as my knowledge of Dutch is barely anything. And shouldn't the option in the menu read "Nederlands" instead of "Hollands"?

A checksum is a little verification code used by some programs to prevent copy protection. Other times checksums are used for file verification.

Holy molly, I've missed a lot ! Anyways, this looks cool. I really am thankful that somebody FINALLY decides to patch this game and it was not a hoax. I hope a lot of bugs can be fixed. Also, was the Raven fixed? Sometimes it will randomly just float there and not chase jazz.

So if I bought Jazz 2 from a store in the year it came out, would it have the right checksum?

I also believe that in the Dutch language option, "Buttstomp the manhole cover" in the first Colonius level isn't translated.

And, so that UNKNOWNFILE can fix it:

"Buttstomp het putdeksel."

At least, I think buttstomp remains the same throughout the Dutch translation.

I'd post some sort of Dutch alternative to "buttstomp," but apparently I can't type a post in two languages properly.

Fixed. It appears that this was left out of the other languages. I can do the French translation, but I can't do the rest. I'll need the translations for:

-German
-Spanish
-Italian

So, gonna thank me or what?

Hartelijk bedankt.

I guess you could ask Faw, Sproedel or LittleFreak for German, as far as I know.

Faw has spoken:
"Buttstompe den Kanaldeckel!"

You might wanna remove the 'e' from Buttstompe, so it would 'blend in'.

No. It could suddenly stop respawning, and then the only solution is restarting the level (happens quite often in B1).

I'm thinking of replacing the copter with a spring or two, and I'm thinking of getting rid of the bubble shield.

Anyways, many hugs to Faw for giving me the German translation. It's in the J2S file now.

And another pageclaim for me.

There are versions of B1 floating the way without a shield. I'd rather not fix respawn bugs so it would be best for me to work around them. I've done some slight changes in Medivo1.j2l so that Gargoyle's Lair is a bonus level and doesn't go in an endless loop. ZOMGTHECENSORWILLBLOCKTHISWORDSOTHATSTOOBAD2.j2l has also been fixed in case of the unlikely event that Devan will jump out of the arena.

I don't think changing the copter to a spring is an appropriate "fix." The copter non-respawn issue is something that should be dealt with properly, not just an event change.

Also, there are many levels that make legitimate use of the water shield, there's no reason to just remove that.
