If you are running JJ2 version 1.20 through 1.22, you will need first to apply the 1.23 patch, then JJ2+ (see Installation below). JJ2+ only works with the full (non-shareware) versions 1.23 and 1.24 ("TSF") of Jazz Jackrabbit 2, although not all versions of 1.23 and 1.24 are supported in particular, TSF: LK Avalon is not supported, nor the various Holiday Hare/Christmas Chronicles releases. Again, there are plenty of new Single Player levels out there for you to download and try out! Every new feature JJ2+ adds is one that you, as the level author or player or online server runner, deliberately choose to use, not one that breaks the original gameplay you know and love. JJ2+ aims to be as backwards compatible with existing levels made over Jazz 2's twenty-two year history as possible, while simultaneously fixing scores of bugs from the game-crashing to the incredibly obscure. Similarly, if you start up Jazz 2's traditional Single Player campaign from within JJ2+, expecting a vastly new experience, you will be disappointed. Or join an existing online server and try out some of the levels it's hosting! (You can try them out by opening the Home-Cooked Levels menu and searching for filenames beginning with the word "plus".) Fortunately, there are literally thousands of custom maps and tilesets already available for Jazz 2, and every new JJ2+ release gives authors new gameplay options to play with in the months ahead. JJ2+ ships with very few new maps or tilesets, and the ones it does include are intended more for exhibiting individual new mod features than for providing an exceptional gameplay experience. ![]() JJ2+ builds on Jazz Jackrabbit 2's strong foundation to create the world's foremost 2D Arena Shooter experience, even more feature-rich than many of its 3D competitors. In particular, JJ2+ expands multiplayer play with roughly two-hundred different console commands (many with matching options in the game's dropdown menu) for enabling or disabling game modes, weapons, and numerous other options like spectators or mouse aim gameplay. On the multiplayer side of things, JJ2+ expands Party Mode's four basic game modes (Battle, Capture the Flag, Treasure Hunt, and Race) by adding eleven new modes ( Roast Tag, Last Rabbit Standing, Extended Last Rabbit Standing, Team Last Rabbit Standing, Pestilence, Team Battle, Death CTF, Jailbreak, Flag Run, Domination, and Head Hunters) and applying numerous bug fixes and feature additions to the old ones. ![]() For example, level designers have their options broadened hugely by JJ2+'s easy-to-use scripting language and the various new options for use in the Jazz Creation Station level editor. One way to think of JJ2+ is as a series of tools built into various parts of the game to give you and other users more ways of creating new Jazzy experiences for yourselves. JJ2+ is a massive mod of Epic Games' 1998 masterpiece Jazz Jackrabbit 2, adding countless features and bug fixes to both Single Player and Multiplayer gameplay.
