JA+?

[Rosh is my favorite]

Why is there no mention of JA+ anywhere?

 

Also, is there any way to tell what version of JA+ you're using? I think I have the latest one since I can join JA+ servers but I just wanna know how to check.

It should be in the manual in the japlus folder.

 

Not sure what you mean by no mention, but it seems a lot of attention has moved to the newer JA++ project. I don't know much about it though.

That's interesting. I looked it up and it's made by a different guy, but it doesn't really say what it improves upon the original JA+ so I don't think I'm gonna get it.

JA++ has so many new features, one doesn't know where to begin. @@Raz0r could probably give you quick run down of it though if he can be bothered enough to do it

What do you have to lose by using it? The JA++ client is backwards compatible with JA+, btw..

[CaptainCrazy]

Could somebody give me a rundown of what JA++ is? lol

[eezstreet]

It's like JA+ but it's actively maintained by Raz0r, instead of the infrequent updates that Slider puts out. The JA++ client is compatible with JA+ servers, and likewise, the JA++ server is compatible with the JA+ client.

 

Here's a few things:

- It has a TON of bugs fixed and exploits closed up

- Has a few new features

- Able to script your server using Lua

among other things

JA++ was a project I started when I wanted to customise my HUD playing on JA+ servers.

Eventually I added features from JA+ to play nicely (e.g. RGB sabers, grapple) and got far too carried away, adding probably hundreds of tiny features all over the place.

 

Ideally, it's used as a replacement for JA+ to be used when playing on JA+ servers. There is also a JA++ server-side, but it hasn't recieved as much attention.

 

As for your original question, Typing cjp_client into the console will tell you what version you have.

JA++ is far better than JA+, as it expands the limits on EVERYTHING like npcs, skins, maps, you name it. I never had this much luck with JA+ is why I always used clan mod. But now I have JA++ and it works like a charm. Thanks Raz0r!

In the releases, there is an optional download for melee animation replacement. What exactly does that do?

[Raz0r]

Changes the idle melee animation to have your hands by your side.
