Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Plus (JJ2+) adds countless features and bug fixes to both Single Player and Multiplayer gameplay within JJ2, and is used almost universally by most serious players. It has much better network code than the original game, adding console commands to online games, fixing most major game-crashing errors and connection problems, allowing permitted clients to log in as "remote administrators" in someone else's server and control the gameplay, and adding several new multiplayer gamemodes. It additionally fixes or enhances many of the events in the game, and allows level designers far more power than in regular JJ2 through the addition of an easy-to-use scripting language. JJ2+ takes everything great about JJ2 and adds so much more on top of it; it is truly a must-download. JJ2+ is distributed under the MIT license.
Early versions of Jazz Jackrabbit 2 had players' dead bodies stick around forever, but the feature didn't scale well and was quickly removed. JJ2+ 5.0 will reintroduce corpses as a purely visual feature, but will let you choose how long they'll stick around.
Here I've cranked the delay up to a ridiculous ten minutes, and the server is running Flag Run (a JJ2+ exclusive multiplayer gamemode) in a cramped level with /noblink on (a JJ2+ server setting that reduces post-injury invincibility time), meaning the ground is absolutely littered with the evidence of past battles.
Wow I love it!
Better than 1.20 :P
