Jazz² Resurrection is reimplementation of the game Jazz Jackrabbit 2 released in 1998. Supports various versions of the game (Shareware Demo, Holiday Hare '98, The Secret Files and Christmas Chronicles). Also, it partially supports some features of JJ2+ extension and MLLE. Further information can be found here.

This project uses parts of Duality - A 2D GameDev Framework.

• Download Desktop release from GitHub (or build the solution and copy Content directory to ‹Game›/Content)
• Run ‹Game›/Import.exe "Path to JJ2" (or drag and drop JJ2 directory on Import.exe)
  • On Linux and macOS, you can run mono Import.exe "Path to JJ2"
• Run ‹Game›/Jazz2.exe
  • On Linux and macOS, you can run mono Jazz2.exe

‹Game› is path to Jazz² Resurrection. You can run Import.exe without parameters to show additional options.

• Download Desktop and Android release from GitHub (or build the solution and copy Content directory to ‹Game›/Content)
• Run ‹Game›/Import.exe "Path to JJ2" (or drag and drop JJ2 directory on Import.exe)
• Copy ‹Game›/Content directory to ‹SDCard›/jazz2.android/Content
  • Create empty file .nomedia in ‹SDCard›/jazz2.android to hide files from Android Gallery
• Install Jazz2.apk on Android device
• Run the application

Requires device with Android 4.4 (or newer) and OpenGL ES 3.0 support. ‹SDCard› could be internal or external storage. The application tries to autodetect correct path. Also, you can use ‹SDCard›/Android/Data/Jazz2.Android or ‹SDCard›/Download/Jazz2.Android instead.

• Go to Jazz² Resurrection WebAssembly to play Shareware Demo
  • Or build the solution and copy Content directory from Desktop release

Requires Google Chrome 57 (or newer), Firefox 53 (or newer) or other browser supporting WebAssembly and WebGL.

• .NET Framework 4.5.2 (or newer)
• OpenAL Soft (included in release)
  • Copy x86/openal32.dll to ‹Game›/Extensions/OpenALSoft.x86.dll
  • Copy x64/openal32.dll to ‹Game›/Extensions/OpenALSoft.x64.dll
• libopenmpt (included in release)
  • Copy libopenmpt.dll (x86, and its dependencies) to ‹Game› directory

• Mono 4.6 (or newer)
• OpenAL
  • Run sudo apt install openal1 if it's missing
• libopenmpt (included in release)
  • Copy libopenmpt.so (x86, and its dependencies) to ‹Game› directory

• Mono 4.6 (or newer)
• OpenAL should be already installed by OS
• libopenmpt
  • Copy libopenmpt.dylib (x86, and its dependencies) to ‹Game› directory

• Xamarin
• OpenAL Soft (included for armeabi-v7a and x86)
• libopenmpt (included for armeabi-v7a and x86)

Requires Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 or newer (or equivalent Mono compiler) to build the solution.

• .NET Framework 4.5.2 (or newer) / Mono 4.6 (or newer)
• Mono.WebAssembly.Sdk (included as NuGet)

• Open the solution in Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 (or newer) and build it
• Copy /Packages/AdamsLair.OpenTK.x.y.z/lib/OpenTK.dll.config to /Jazz2/Bin/Debug/OpenTK.dll.config
• Copy dependencies to /Jazz2/Bin/Debug/ or /Jazz2/Bin/Release/
• If you build Release configuration, you have to replace Debug with Release in paths above

• Install Mono 5.0 (or newer)
• Run msbuild in directory with the solution file (.sln):
• Copy /Packages/AdamsLair.OpenTK.x.y.z/lib/OpenTK.dll.config to /Jazz2/Bin/Debug/OpenTK.dll.config
• Obtain and copy libopenmpt.so to /Jazz2/Bin/Debug/libopenmpt.so to enable music playback
• Then you can rebuild the solution only with msbuild command
• Use msbuild /p:Configuration=Release to build Release configuration, you have to replace Debug with Release in paths above

• Install Mono 5.0 (or newer)
• Open the solution in Microsoft Visual Studio for Mac and build it
• Copy /Packages/AdamsLair.OpenTK.x.y.z/lib/OpenTK.dll.config to /Jazz2/Bin/Debug/OpenTK.dll.config
• Obtain and copy libopenmpt.dylib to /Jazz2/Bin/Debug/libopenmpt.dylib to enable music playback
• If you build Release configuration, you have to replace Debug with Release in paths above

Errors about Jazz2.Android project can be ignored, if you don't need Android build.

• Install Mobile development in .NET for Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 (or newer)
• Open the solution and build Jazz2.Android project
• Dependencies are already included for common configurations

• Open the solution and build Jazz2.Wasm project
• Dependencies are already included for common configurations

Alternative OpenGL ES 2.0 backend can be built separately. It does not contain all features that are available in default OpenGL 2.1 backend, but it should run faster on low-end configurations. Don't use it if you have no reason to do so!

To use it, build Extensions/Es20Backend project. The library will be copied to /Jazz2/Bin/Debug/Extensions/Es20Backend.core.dll automatically. Then copy all files from Content/_ES20 directory to /Jazz2/Bin/Debug/Content and replace them.

Also, you have to remove /Jazz2/Bin/Debug/Extensions/GL21Backend.core.dll file to disable default OpenGL 2.1 backend.
