I thought this was a bug that was fixed in JA2? I am playing RR 17 and Tony has not been back for many days...

Are you waiting in the sector? If so, he will never return. You have to leave and wait a few days before returning.

Umm... crap... Busting my balls, as I am playing expert and just went through a lot of big battles.(Really do not want to reload) I had gasket repairng weps there to get more money out of them. Will move him out and hope Tony comes soon, or I will not be able to have enough cash to keep my troops. This is a major crisis, maybe I should call Obama for some help! WAIT, WAIT, never mind I will deal with it...

P.S. Many thanks,

BTW, it has always been this way AFAIK. I remember having to do this back before 1.13.

yep,

there is a thread somewhere in which you find what to do to prevent him from that - winning battles mostly makes him come back to his shop. that is afaik still connected to the old 5-days-rule.

There's another trick to ensure that he will stay there every day Wink

...

Very simple. The game works this way...

"If Tony is there on day X, he'll still be there on day X+1"-trick

- Every day at 10 AM Tony has new gear... If you go into tactical mode just before 10 AM when Tony is there (have Tony's sector loaded as the last sector before 10 AM), then he'll be there with new stuff after 10 AM... Works always... So I usually go pit-fighting with one merc, when another stays at Tony's. Loading the sector is enough I think, there doesn't have to be a merc there. (With loading I mean going to tactical).

- The game resets characters to positions whenever you load a sector. (e.g. Hans will be back in front of the door). If you reload on the same day, Hans will be in front of the door, but Tony will always still be there as he never leaves on the same day you see him.

Just make sure the yellow square on the strategic map that indicates the selected sector STAYS on Tony's sector during 9.59AM and 10AM. Works for me Wink

Same way, if Tony is not there and the sector is not "reset", then he won't show up...

Neat trick Thor, will have to try this one in a future game.

Have you ever had the situation where Hans and Tony are both gone from the start of the game? I played around with the Items.xml, BR worked, but I believe when Tony inventory is set to be like BR, and the Items.xml is too long, both Tony and Hans will be gone from the start of the game.

No, never had it happened that Hans was gone. But never messed with items.xml that way.
