This is a really nice piece of work for people wo can’t get the JCS to work offline. And with this, you don’t have to have JJ2 to create levels for fun or for friends. 10/10 for me.
WebJCS 1.3.3
Utility, by djazz,
requires version 1.23
Description
What is WebJCS?
WebJCS is an open-source improved clone of JCS, running in your web browser.
The first version of WebJCS was created over three years ago, and has now evolved into something usable that I can release and share with you.
The code behind WebJCS is almost written entirely by me, the exceptions are FileSaver.js, Node.JS and some node modules.
How do I setup WebJCS?
Firstly, install Google Chrome. It’s the only browser good enough for handling graphics and it’s very fast. If other browsers catch up, I might add support for them to.
Windows:
Unzip it in any folder, not necessarily in your Jazz2 folder.
Download Node.JS (if not included in the zip) HERE and put it inside the folder you unzipped to.
Edit the file settings.ini to match your configuration, such as path to Jazz2 folder for finding level/tilesets, command to run when you want to Run your level and the path to your Google Chrome install.
Then make a shortcut to the WebJCS.bat file, as you would do with any program/file you want a shortcut to.
Linux:
Unzip it in any folder.
First you must compile node.js.
Edit the file settings.ini to match your configuration, such as path to a folder for finding level/tilesets, command to run when you want to Run your level and the path to your Google Chrome install.
When entering a path to JJ2, it have to be an absolute path. The default JJ2 path for wine is:
/home/username/.wine/drive_c/Games/Jazz2/
The command for Chrome is google-chrome.
Create a launcher with the command “node path-to-server.js”, choose “open in terminal”

I haven’t made any levels for ages due to lack of motivation, but I recently tried out WebJCS’ online collaboration.
It’s so much more fun to create a map when you have others around helping you, even if you usually don’t create levels.
Also, WebJCS adds many other features that simplify levelmaking a lot, it’s definitely worth checking out!

Wonderful Jazz2 level editor, the text comes out Jazz2 font, the parallax, you can review the events drawn, activate Textured Background and we can create some level on the internet, but the app webjcs was deleted in Chrome Web Store.
