Alright folks... I closed down thread 2 as it became quite full again.

In this thread report all bugs you find with current github version (as of 28th July 2019). This can and should include all kinds of the following bugs:

typos (item name and kind of typo)
unfinished / not working quests
civilians without factions encountered in maps
map glitches
any kind of game freeze
anything else on this list you think could be a bug

I will try to fix the stuff I can fix (that is things in the xml files, sti files and maps mostly... anything code related should be reposted in the official bug thread).

There are two AmmoTypes.xml files in github version: Data-AIM\TableData\Items\AmmoTypes.xml and Data-Bigmaps\TableData\Items\AmmoTypes.xml
Which one is correct and shouldn't all item related files be stored in Data-AIM?
Also Data-Bigmaps\NPCDATA contains German speaking edt files which should probably be moved to German branch.

Yes, the two ammo types are deliberate.

The xml editor messes up the ammo types, therefore I need the "real" ammotypes.xml that the game works with in a different folder (in Data-Bigmaps). The ammotypes.xml in Data-Aim is outdated and basically only included so that the xml editor works correctly. Any changes made to ammotypes.xml in the xml editor won't apply in-game.

I'm not quite sure if it is a bug or I am just missing something. It seems that the G36 and AUG rifle series have no magnification/ red dot in their default state.
The rifle's zoom factor is 1.0 while the zoom factor on the optics is around 3.5. While playing it looks like they behave as if they had basic iron sights.

I'll look into that.

On another note:
Tais investigated the issue with not working training. Looks like administartor assignment added a couple issues there. If you have someone working on admin duty, training works. Of course this isn't really how it is supposed to work (training should be doable without an administrator). A fix for that should be in the works.

Okay, found it... basically all guns with fixed optics / aiming modules (AUGs, G36, SSW, P90) come without default attachments. I'm on it. Gitupdate will follow asap.

Okay, think I got them all... some default attachmetns were messed up due to me moving around several attachments. Looks like the xml editor doesn't move around default attachments automatically. This has been fixed and will be updated within next 15 mins.

Once I add faction quotes I will most definitely change to English for civilians, until then it makes not much sense to sort all that stuff out, tbh. Especially as there are a couple NPCs in that folder that use English already, so just deleting or moving all the stuff there ain't an easy solution either (like Betty, and probably the two additional Miners as well).

So instead of sorting that out at this point, I'd rather leave it in until I get around to actually add civilian flavour texts and the like.

Radio Operator doesn't have a radio set available either in Old Method or New Method of gear selection. Sorry if this is a lame bug report.

Also in AIMNAS getting following error which prevents me from playing due to freezing:
(Jagged Alliance 2 Gold - SCI_JA2v1.13_Revision_8681_on_GameDir_2476)

[72.7324] : ERROR : File : vobject.cpp
Line : 967
Location : BltVideoObjectToBuffer
Video object index is larger than the number of subimages

Not 1000% sure if it's 1.13 or AIMNAS related.

Edit; I have d/l newest, recently updated AIMNAS version and did not have freezes wehere I had previous.

In JA2_Options.ini, I think there are a few typos:
* CTH_PENALTY_FOR_COWERING_CROUCHED_TARGET_LEGS_DIVISOR should be CTH_PENALTY_DIVISOR_FOR_CROUCHED_SHOCKED_TARGET_LEGS
* AI_SUPRESS_MIN_MAG_SIZE should be AI_SUPPRESS_MIN_MAG_SIZE
* Your comment change related to STRENGTH_TO_LIFT_HALF_KILO is incorrect. This value gets multiplied by the weight (and divided by strength), so setting it to 0.5 will double your carrying capacity; i.e. this setting is how many points of strength it takes to lift a certain amount of weight.
* Ditto for your comment about REPAIR_RATE_DIVISOR. Merc stats are divided by this value, so increasing it will slow down the activity.

I've tweaked that ini file a good bit in the past and don't like losing all my changes...

Found a few more issues in attachments.xml:
* lines 1784-1787 missing itemIndex entry, I think the whole record can go
* lines 2193-2196 ditto
* lines 3062-3065 ditto
These I dug into because I had a hard time trying to figure out why I couldn't attach ragtops or camo covers anymore, ended up having to generate a little xsd and use VS' auto xml validation. After fixing those, I'm still having a problem with it, so I'm still digging... All I know is that if I use old copies of Items.xml and Attachments.xml from a few months ago (specifically, before the June 30th commit), the helmet attachments all work.

I'm having slowdown issues when running AIMNAS, but not on vanilla 1.13.

I'm running Window 10 and have applied the Win 8/10 fix. Reducing resolution seems to partially alleviate the problem. It does not seem to be the maps since the slowdown continues when on the laptop or strategic map screen. Also having screen tearing problems when moving around the map.

Is there something running in AIMNAS that was not part of 1.13?

Also, I cannot train militia anywhere. The option is just grayed out.

I tried removing the path to [LOC_datamaps_dir] in vfs_config.JA2113AIMNAS.ini and while it crashed when my first merc spawned in Omerta it was running more smoothly.

What changes would need to be made to disable the new map pack completely? If I can take them out of the equation I can see if they are the root cause.

Hello, I haven't played JA2 in years and felt like getting back into and found out about AIMNAS when looking to mod it and followed the SNV method and got it working and have now started playing it. I have encountered quite a few bugs but nothing major. I was wondering where to post about them and am glad I found this place. I will just mention them and hope that will be enough for you guys. I think you may already even know of them, as I said they are minor so could be on a low priority list already but I should mention them just in case.

When selecting custom made characters in IMP, in the background selection of Tech Whiz there is "hacking skill: +50" and right after it on the same line is "+20 administration effectiveness". That last part should be on its own text line.

Speak the MERC hiring alternatives text dialogue box is in German (I think it is).

Now that I am actually finally reporting these bugs I found myself having forgotten where and what they were, only that I encountered them. I will be back here when I either remember them or encounter them from now on.

Found a few item-related bugs:

Item 310 (*** Extender ***) cannot be placed in inventory slots, instead and error message is loaded that looks similar to the detailed view of items. The only way this item can be placed into LBE is by replacing another item that was in the same slot before.

Item 461 (NVG I A) same issue.

Item 5770 (RPG-16) the item is too large. When equipped with a LAM-200 and a PGO-7W scope as well as loaded with a TBG-7W rocket, the item is too large for all LBE slots and even for the gun sling, although it is still shown as an available slot. This slot can even take full-sized mortars, so I assume this is a bug.

Item 4832 (M1 Garand EBR) has a typo in the description, where it says "An old and trusted M1 Garnad in a new stock to allow for a wider range of attachments."

The NVG and extender were tough ones, but with the help of discord chat member Vanessa, the bug could be tracked down to a missing xml entry in attachments.xml

There's two entries in the file which are missing the item the attachments could be attached to (for item 310 and item 461).

This one's fixed now and will be included in the next update. If you don't want to change it manually, the workaround in game is either to do it in tactical map (meh) or use left click + ctrl to put it into an empty inventory slot (also kinda meh, as you have only little control which pocket is used). Apparently it also works, if another item is already in the pocket and you use the item to replace it.

Also, I uploaded the xml into the AIM chat at discord.

Fixed the typo for Garand and the issue that the RPG with scope and rocket doesn't fit the sling slot (apparently both the scope and the rocket had an item size modifier, making the item 2 sizes bigger...).

Hello, guys! I'm newbie here.
First of all, many thanks for your efforts, smeagol.

My noticed "bugs" since I've started a new game (my pack is v.1.12 GOG + SCI 8704/2482 + Windows 8 Fix + AIMNAS 07'2019):
1. M.E.R.C Speck T. Kline's greetings, chats with Fatima, Deidranna's with Elliot speach - everything has german subtitles
2. One of my 10 IMP's nickname is shown as "???" (while he is just "Don") (can't attach or give a link to a screenshot speechless

speechless

)

Also, FAQ should be corrected: you can't turn off NCTH in ingame options anymore - you have to fix *.ini file.

And another one: Batteries, 2 cannot be attached to Tactical Flashlight. Does ist work without them?

Edit: They can, but not when the Flashlight is already attached to a gun. Then, however, the batteries overlap with a grenade, if the gun also has a GL attached.

For those with German edt files instead of English, I's dl the SCI_HAM3.6a v7_WF_AIM file and copied the relevant files to replace the German files. So far so good.

Seems it doesn't work at the start as Carlos Miquel and Ira dialogue is too fast and doesn't appear.

Hi,

while playing AIMNAS I sometimes had the weird problem, that looking at some specific soldier will crash the game. After some trial&error while debugging I realized that an old version of "Interface/RoleIcons.sti" caused this crash.
Simply removing this file from the "Data-AIM/Interface" folder causes JA2 to use the one in the "DATA/Interface" folder, which works perfectly fine using the latest game/data version from SVN ;)

BTW: Excellent mod, currently I spend way too much time playing it!

So I'm only a teensy bit in to the campaign, and twenty years of JA2, I've never encountered this. I'm in D14, and I have a group of SIXTEEN enemies standing in one spot. They won't move. I'm just plinking them off one by one, and not a one of them will budge from this spot. There was an enemy medic that ran up from the darkness, so I plinked her out of general principle. The enemy AI is set to aggressive and I'm playing on experienced.

@Chronuss I suppose this bug should be fixed in r8722:

It happens only with bigmaps, and only when enemy is trying to move out of lighted area.

So, I have a game-breaking bug. I enabled training of elite militia and upped the militia per sector to 64. Only twenty militia in each sector could not handle 90 black shirts attacking. So now that I have elite militia around, when an enemy attacks, the game believes I have no militia in that sector and there is no battle and the enemy wins. Also, the Grumm militia map does not have all sectors and when an enemy is trying to attack the Grumm marina, the game dies and cannot continue. I have save right before the enemy attack but cannot post it.
