JJ2 version you mostly use.
 
Well, the forums have been kinda dead lately, so it's time for me to make more pointless polls! Yaaay! Lol just kidding but really, this place is too quiet at the moment. So the poll is, what version of JJ2 do you mostly use? If you only have one version of JJ2 then just vote for that option, no complications. Online or offline player you are, doesn't matter, every jj2 fan is included for this one.

So, I mostly use TSF. Why? Well, you have access to more servers, tilesets, levels and Lori. Hosting on TSF is very stable for me, it rarely crashes (my connection isn't that stable though, but that's another story). There's also a program I use that only works with 1.24. But I know some people who host in TSF have frequent crashes, I guess some computers just don't like 1.24. I do have 1.23 too, but I rarely use it. By the way, this is coming from someone who isn't really a huge fan of hotels. I don't belive using any version of JJ2 makes you any better than someone else who uses a different version. It depends on what you do to spend your time on JJ2 and how often you play.

By the way, if you have version(s) 1.20, 1.21 or 1.22, you can upgrade it to 1.23 which fixes some bugs and enables online play...you really should if you havent yet. (I'll put a link if necessary).

1.23, because TSF repeatedly crashes when cycling/downloading when on Linux, while 1.23 runs mostly stable. Used to be TSF while I was using Windows, until it got too slow.

Troglobite Mar 12, 2011 11:20 AM

1.23+

WhiteBlaster Mar 12, 2011 01:26 PM

1.24

I put all the level packs I download into JJ2 TSF folder for convenience, so that when I want to play one of them I just have to run TSF regardless of the JJ2 version the level pack was made for.

Hitch Mar 12, 2011 04:07 PM

1.23 for the Americans.

Obi1mcd Mar 12, 2011 09:04 PM

1.23, because my only other version is 1.24x, which JJ2+ won't support.

Slaz Mar 13, 2011 02:12 AM

I was 'forced' to use 1.24 for online play because of level/tileset support. My original intention was to stick with 1.23 since not everyone wants to switch to 1.24 for several reasons. At least Blur fixed up Lori in 1.24 yay.

Treylina Mar 13, 2011 05:30 AM

I didn't know that 1.23 and 1.24 users were that balanced between each other. But the majority of people who voted for 1.23 aren't that active online anymore (or in Obi's case only plays offline), so it seemed to me that many more used TSF these days. But if I made this poll a few years ago, most probably would've voted for 1.23 because plus used to be only compatible with that version. And before plus ever existed, well...not sure about that exactly.

Until 2 days ago, that is. Pity so many servers seem to be 1.24-only.

I had the same problem. Running Jazz2 with
Code:

schedtool -a 0x1 -e wine '/path/to/Jazz2+.exe'
helps for me.

Well, the case for a server being 1.24 only will most likely be a test, a hotel or a server full of annoying Polish kids. Or both (a test server with annoying people is what I mean is possible, but sometimes it's alright). If you don't mind the loss of those, you'll do fine. But I gotta admit I do like to play tests every now and then. You should be able to play on most servers I think (I don't know exactly, I hardly play with 1.23 so I'm somewhat assuming the case here, but sometimes I do check the serverlist with 1.23 so I'm not completely making it up).

TomoAlien Mar 13, 2011 10:35 AM

TSF because it's vastly improved from the 1.23 version and that my dad bought it alongside with Re-Volt for the freshly-bought computer back in 2000 or 2001.

Jgke Mar 13, 2011 10:57 AM

Re-Volt ftw ;)
TSF, due to the level support.

CrimiClown Mar 14, 2011 12:22 AM

1.23+, simply because I do not own TSF.

I see that lots of people are choosing TSF over 1.23 because of tileset limits. Is there nothing JJ2+ can do about that? (Sorry if this has been asked a million times already).

Lithium Mar 14, 2011 12:41 AM

I actually use TSF just for playing online. I do levelmaking,hosting and trying new levels in 1.23.

It seems that people tend to use TSF for playing online. I could understand why people levelmake in 1.23, it saves the time messing around to convert it. I find it more convenient to try new levels in TSF though, considering most levels work fine with that version. Decent TSF only levels do pop up every now and then. Like what I said before, I can understand partly why some people host in 1.23.

No, not only test and hotel players use TSF nowadays. This was the case until the Zeal Servers switched to TSF a while ago when people found out about the high resolution hack (which is available for 1.23 only). A /maxresolution command was added to the next version of JJ2+, but by then everyone had switched to TSF already. I use TSF since then, and I don't have 1.23 anymore.

Grytolle Mar 14, 2011 03:32 PM

For the record, Zeal was always hosted on 1.24 but with multiversion enabled

[GpW]Urbs Mar 15, 2011 01:47 AM

and it had such beautiful moving pictures!

Black Ninja Mar 15, 2011 08:30 AM

For the most part, 1.23+.

There are times when I use CC and 1.22 for various things, and once in a while I'll use TSF (mostly when I need to make sure something is possible as Lori, though I still hate her oh so much).

sonicnathan 1 Mar 15, 2011 09:47 AM

1.23 simply for compatibility with 1.24 and of course of JJ2+

Zerg Mar 15, 2011 10:00 AM

JJ2+ for playing, and TSF for level creating...(somewhy the save and run don't works at me in JJ2+ JCS)

Try changing the JJ2+ executable name from Jazz2+.exe or whatever it is to Jazz2.exe. If you still have a non-plus copy, you may have to rename that to Jazz2Classic.exe or something just to make sure it doesn't get overwritten.

Zerg Mar 15, 2011 10:53 AM

Aha! Thank you. :D Now it's working :D

Troglobite Mar 15, 2011 11:19 AM

You're welcome. Glad to hear it helped.

Hmm....why? It's actually possible to get a jump as high as uppercut (actually, half a tile higher than uppercut) with Lori, in which "she can't jump" seems to be the main excuse for people disliking her. Yes I know "golden jump" forces you to the left/right though, but this trick still isn't very well known...

Um...I know all of that too. Generally the TSF players who aren't in for hotels/tests host on multiversion. But most TSF *only* servers tend to be tests/hotels. That's where I'm getting at here.

No, not from the very start. But from november 10th, 2009.

Btw, Cooba is lying.

This is working perfectly! Thank you very much. :)

Nerd Mar 23, 2011 03:11 PM

Doesn't work for me :(
I'm getting the same problem in both 1.23 and 1.24. It seems to be related to music, as -nosound fixes it.

DoubleGJ Mar 24, 2011 03:41 PM

1.24+

Technically superior.

Also been trying to add JJM to it but I'm having some trouble with it.
