Hi, it keeps sayin smackw32.dll file is missing, which is not, because this file is just there. But its ok for me, I guess I am gonna wait until the final version is out anyway. I hope, its not going to be forever, because this finally looks great and I appreciate you stick with the old fashioned inventory too. Thanks

No worries, Omega, I prefer to play with a new story too as there's only so many times you can play the same scenario.

****Known issues****
*Crashes when assigning tasks from vehicle
A few reports have highlighted crashes when traveling via vehicles and then assigning mercs to tasks or using sector facilities. It is suggested to have all mercs exit vehicles before assigning them to other tasks. Do not assign tasks while they are still in the vehicle. This is not a definite fix but seems to limit the chances of crashes.
*Old Bloodcat ambush bug still present
Being ambused by Bloodcats can sometimes lock up game. Progress has been made with Flugente find some stray code. Seven FM is looking to integrate this fix to see if it puts this bug to rest for Vengeance: Reloaded.
*Ultimate Fighting Contest bug still present
It has been recently reported that the old bug where Kingpin heads toward the boxing ring and then stalls has reared it's head again. This is an old bug that plagued Vanilla, and was thought squashed, but sometimes occurs. Best to ensure you save before talking to Darren or initiate the ultimate boxing fight.
*Some snitches still refer to Vanilla NPC's when reporting.
*It has been noted recently that there can be issues relating to newly recruited mercs arriving by parachute later on in the game, sometimes the plane flying overhead sound can be heard but no parachute animation plays and the game goes into a strange loop or you cannot assign your new recruit. It is suggested you try and save your game before this happens, as usually you will need to come out of this looping game and reload. Usually the issue disappears once reloading or you can move mercs to an adjoining map to have them appear in game. Another option to break this loop is hitting the Esc key. In fact hitting the Esc key whenever the game locks up can sometimes be an easy way out of a number of issues.

Hello Folks!
Coming back to JA2 after being away for FAAAAAAR too long!
Does the Vengeance mod require the Experimental Project 7...?
Am I correct in that it adds more to SevenFM's mod, or...?

sevenfm: Thank you very much for the update. I just finished altering a bunch of settings in the JA2_options.ini from the Data-Vengeance directory. Will this update overwrite those settings if I install it? Also, are there any new adjustable variables to that JA2_options.ini...? The reason why I ask, if there aren't any new adjustable variables, I'll just backup my modified JA2_options.ini and reinstall it after I install the Vengeance update.
Also - the update has two compressed files in it. One file's larger than the other. Could someone summarize for me what the difference is between the two files? Is the larger file more experimental, or...?
To everyone who has contributed to this endeavor: thank you for all of your hard work! It's hard to take in all of the amazing additions that have been made to the default JA2. There's a lot to be proud of here.

BETA 5 Changelog (11th July - 2nd Jan 2019)
CODE & GENERAL GAME
default Ini settings changed
lowered MAX_STRATEGIC_ENEMY_GROUP_SIZE to 20
set MINES_SPOTTED_NO_TALK = TRUE
less aiming in heap firing mode
lowered prone cover effectiveness
set TILES_MOVED_PER_BONUS_TOLERANCE_POINT = 10 for better suppression tolerance balance
Ja2_Vengeance.exe r1969
r8596 Fix: throwing knives disappear when hitting corpses (by Flugente)
suppression: better integer calculation of AP loss
don't show "blow up" in transformation menu for grenades/explosives with 'flare' flag
r8586 fix: release exes could crash when hovering in the save screen (by Flugente)
r8589 fix: invalid edgepoint selection (by The_Bob)
small code improvements
r8581 fix: deleting a face with invalid pointer leads to first mercs having Skyrider's face (by Flugente)
r8582 fix: face gear was not shown for non-IMP mercs if their face index wasn't their profile number (by Flugente)
don't allow drinking from canteen with status 1
r8583 fix: when Larry changes profiles, several stats are not properly copied; when Larry changes profiles, Goodguy is always copied over (by Flugente)
<PercentStatusDrainReduction>: better integer calculation, always use at least 1 kit point
voice taunts: fix for using last taunt variant
check that " LAST" file exists before playing custom last sound to avoid warnings in log files
r8136:
Fix: Get Item assignement: if no valid gridno is found, let the game find one upon loading the sector instead of risking a
wrong gridno assignment
Fix: When dropping an item in strategic inventory, height values are not set
Fix: When looking for a valid gridno to drop items t via strategic inventory, WORLD_ITEM_REACHABLE is not reliable, as
updated map topology trumps this. Instead rely upon finding a valid gridno once the sector is entered.
Fix: when searching for a new item dropoff gridno, search for new height too
Fix: if items are spawned mid-air, the player cannot retrieve them
r7995 bugfix: Reinforcements: Parts of roadblocks were resurrected after reinforcements death (by navaroe)
r8100 fix: sometimes items moved by the MOVEITEM assignment are left unreachable
r8050: When displaying a merc's maximum assignment points, factor in backgrounds values.
r7988:
Bugfix - POWs' activity level being overwritten
Bugfix - mercs treated at facilities should not use mercs' medkits
Bugfix for facility patients not detected as being in a facility
Bugfix - iBurstAPCost was ignoring half of its calculation due to extraneous semicolon
r7724 Bugfix: When using a vehicle to move to an enemy sector mercs will force exit the vehicle. In this case the team panel sort order was random depending on which merc was last selected. This problem occurred because the sort function for the squad was not called for this scenario. It is now called whenever a merc is added to a squad. Because of this the call for the sort function was removed from function SetAssignmentForList(). We do not need to call it twice.
r8354:
Fix: if merc cannot complain about his equipment due to being asleep or on duty, retry an hour later
Fix: in AIM bios, show max life, not life at start of game
Fix: typo resulted in AIM mercs not refusing job because of hated mercs present when they should do so
r8384 fix: crash when loading a savegame repeatedly due to initialisation flag not being reset (by Flugente)
r8380 fix: crash when entering combat without any mercs in sector on duty (by Flugente)
new function: NumPlayerTeamMembersInSector (returns how many members of a team are in a sector - only intended for OUR_TEAM!
POWs not included)
r8385 Fix: deadlock on ammo creation popup
r8391 Fix: When reading in Skills_Settings.ini, NUMBER_OF_MAJOR_TRAITS_ALLOWED_FOR_IMP is now limited by min
(NUMBER_OF_MAJOR_TRAITS_ALLOWED, MAX_NUMBER_OF_TRAITS_FOR_IMP - 1)
r8395 Fix: If troops spawn at the very northern edge of a sector, we often barely see them, and cannot target their head or
torso. To stop that from happening, do not spawn there. (by Flugente)
r8397 fix: game info display showed incorrect levels for BR
r7337: If <BloodiedItem> is set on a blade, the blade weapon will be replaced with the specified item when a person is hit with it. (by Flugente)

MAPS
Renamed Palaccio to Palacio Island (Spanish spelling for Palace) reduced Rebel sentiment, this one must've slipped through when first being created.

Hi Hawkeye, Great mod! Question for you if you could help me out. I'm trying to make some update to the "XML Editor" but these updates aren't carrying through to the game 'JA2_Vengeance." Any tip?
I'm hoping I'm not saving the update correctly. For example I had difficulties getting my updates to the "INI Editor" carry to the game, but discovered that I needed to change the default drop down "Select INI-File:" from "Data-1.13\Ja2_Options.INI" to "Data-Vengeance\Ja2_Options.INI"
Any help you or anyone can provide would be great.

Hawkeye, thank you so much. There's just one more fix I can't figure out:
-Changing the screen resolution from default (1024x768) to 1280x600. I only know how to update this via the "INI Editor" (looking to avoid using as it could cause added problems). Thoughts on were else I can more safely update?
