JA++ ~ An alternative to JA+

[Astral Serpent]

So, I decided I'd tell some of these newcomers about the greatness that is JA++.

First of all, I should let you know that JA++ is authored by /Raz0r, who gave me

permission to post this.

 

JA++ Is a modification (currently client-side only) that is fully compatible with JA+,

that is, it does everything the normal JA+ client-side modification does and

much, much more.

 

Here's a quick list of features I can come up with off the top of my head:

• Strafe-jumping trails
  
• Chat timestamps
  
• Fully customisable HUD using Lua
  
• Alt-tab support
  
• Various engine fixes and patches
  
• A Lua API for plugin support (Check this out)
  
• Numerous security/bug fixes
  
• Many planned features
  
• Automatic update downloading
  

As you can see, JA++ Has a lot more than JA+ and even more than I could think off the top of my

head in this list (I might add more later).

You should note that the Lua API allows many more features to be added at the

will of the user, they can also be distributed to others.

Just extract it into your japlus folder (this is so that it loads on JA+ servers, obviously)

Definitely one of the better mods out there.

Wait so you can play ja++ (clientside) on a ja+ server?

Yes.

When JA++ Serverside is created, it will support JA+ client-side, as well.

In addition, JA++ is recognized as the JA+ Client-side plugin so it can

grab information. since slider is evil

Aye, once you switch from ja+ there is no going back.

Some more features:

• optional Trueview first person (actually looking through the eyes of your characters and seeing your body if you look down)
  
• first person sabers
  
• no crashing
  
• customisable shield damage and duelling shaders (choose effect, rgb and transparency levels)
  
• Massively improved chat box. (Scrolling, positionable, text size adjustable, optional time stamps, adjust how log messages stay on screen and more)
  
• Console time stamps
  
• Optional mini scoreboard to show top players instead of the leader icon.
  
• Analogue health, shield and ammo bars that fill up/down rather than the default four blocks that slowly fade out
  
• If for some crazy reason you dont want the super sexy ja++ hud, you can still use the default one.
  
• A ton of other stuff I don't remember.
  

Here's how my hud currently looks, after i used ja++ to customise it. I've set it up to be as minimal as possible:

The info block I have bottom right usually shows headings, telling you which is which, but I hid them off the side of the screen for a more minimal hud.I've also set the chatbox up so that it never overlaps my character.

Of course, you can use the default JA hud too, but razhud is customisable via lua, like MUG has done.

When I say customisable, I mean moreso than a .menu file in some senses.
