Crash while perusing Bobby ray.

Mon, 12 February 2024 00:01

According to the 14 pages long bug thread, it's a bug that was squashed some time ago. This leads me to a question: Did I download the latest release? I downloaded 1.11 directly from AV blog. Is there actually a stable 1.12? If so where can I download it? Thanks in advance.

Tony's quest spoiler needed. (Solved)

Where's the video cassette?; Sun, 11 February 2024 03:47

I combed the sector and could not find the cassette. Does anybody know where it is?
Also, I just entered San Mona and loyalty is 5%: I don't even get the dialogue about Brensa. Is finding the cassette enough to accesss Tony?
Thx in advance.

Edit for those interested: It's at the very entrance of the Shady Lady, I.E. the last place I searched..

Facilities in training/student

Wed, 31 January 2024 14:06

Do the facilities like airport in Drassen help with practice assignment only or does it give a bonus to training/student as well, same way as the shooting range in Alma helps with both?

How to add additional music to JA2 1.13

Mon, 29 January 2024 22:02

As of commit bb63cb9 [2024/01/29]
Additional music can be added to the game by placing sound files into Data subfolder named "Music" following this naming convention:

musicmode_runningNumber.fileformat

Different music modes are:
Mainmenu_      <-- Mainmenu music
Laptop_        <-- Laptop music
Tactical_      <-- Tactical with nothing special going on
Enemy_         <-- Tactical, enemy present
EnemyNight_    <-- Tactical, enemy present, nighttime
Battle_        <-- Tactical, enemy present and visible
BattleNight_   <-- Tactical, enemy present and visible, nighttime
Victory_       <-- Battle victory
Death_         <-- Battle defeat
Creepy_        <-- Tactical, creatures present
CreepyBattle_  <-- Tactical, creatures present and visible

Music files can be .mp3, .ogg or .wav formats and 100 songs in each category is supported. The running numbering starts from 00
so for example:
Data/Music/Mainmenu_01.mp3
Data-1.13/Music/Mainmenu_02.ogg
Data-AIM/Music/Laptop_02.ogg
Data-UC113/Music/Tactical_00.wav


A few filenames are treated in a special way to facilitate easy replacement of original music. To replace original music, insert the following named files into the Music folder
"menumix1"        <-- Mainmenu music
"marimbad 2"      <-- Laptop music
"nothing A"       <-- Tactical with nothing special going on
"nothing B"
"nothing C"
"nothing D"
"tensor A"        <-- Tactical, enemy present
"tensor B"
"tensor C"
"triumph"         <-- Battle victory
"death"           <-- Battle defeat
"battle A"        <-- Tactical, enemy present and visible
"battle B"        <-- Tensor B is also used as battle music, this will replace it from battle music tracks, but still keep it in enemy present
"creepy"          <-- Tactical, creatures present
"creature battle" <-- Tactical, creatures present and visible

Adjusting enemy vision

Tue, 16 January 2024 17:11

How do I adjust the enemy vision settings? It seems like after getting your first sniper rifle, it is enough just to sit and wait for the enemy to run towards you on outdoor maps.

Hello,

Im a longtime JA2 player, always vanilla and currently using the 1.12 gold version from steam.
Im interested in making some minor changes to the gameplay such as having slay stay or increasing the number of enemy troop patrols etc. Is this something that can be changed and how does one go about doing that?

Thanks in advance

Vengeance: Reloaded German Translation

Sun, 19 November 2023 13:04

VENGEANCE: RELOADED German Translation Project

Hi there.
Since i am an old fan of JA2 and i love the german translation of the game i collected some necessary files to convert Vengeance Reloaded as much as possible into german.
I also did some small translations of the facility-type descriptions, sector names and i converted some audio files to get the german voice of latest official 1.13 MERCs into the mod.
More translations are planed, if i find time for it.

For playing VR in german you currently need to do the following steps:
1.) Download original JA2 Classic game files from steam or somewhere else.
2.) Download latest 1.13 Update files from github and copy them into the JA2 game folder (overwrite existing files):
"https://github.com/1dot13/gamedir"
3.) Download the latest german language files for v.1.13 from github and copy them into the JA2 game folder (overwrite existing files):
"https://github.com/1dot13/gamedir-languages/tree/master/German_Version"
4.) Download latest Vengeance Reloaded files from github and copy them into the JA2 game folder (overwrite existing files):
"https://github.com/VengeanceReloaded/vr_gamedir"
5.) Download latest JA2_Vengeance_DE.exe from github and copy it into the game folder:
"https://github.com/VengeanceReloaded/vr_source/releases"
6.) Download the following files from github and copy all of them into the game folder and overwrite existing files:
"https://github.com/Stogie87/VengeanceReloaded-German-Translation-Project"
7.) Copy latest JA2_Vengeance_DE.exe from github into the game folder and overwrite the existing one.
8.) Run JA2_Vengeance_DE.exe!

Additional information:
a.] To get JA2 VR working with latest v. 1.13 release from github, you need an older DynamicRestrictions.xml file and copy it into the "\Data-1.13\TableData\Map\" folder. This file is already included in my conversion zip or just download it from here:
"https://mega.nz/file/PZ5HiKDR#D6bQn-GTTj6orj9k6xxX4DlItCT3M9SOgSyIgSZW0Ko"
b.] If you just wanne play normal JA2 1.13 open the INI Editor.exe inside of the JA2 folder and change the selected JA2 v.1.13 Mod from vfs_config.Vengeance.ini to any other ini like vfs_config.JA2113.ini.
For this you also need a normal ja2.exe. I provide a working one here: "https://mega.nz/file/mZ5UGARY#sRXvZ9A0d5nISRzQBcmAse-DraEkbWkSDJIYrm6wsZ0"

Known issues:
a.] Vengeance Reloaded exclusive NPCs and MERCs are still in english. I will translate them in future as well, if i find time for it.

Credits go again to Hawkeye & anv for providing the german exe file and of course keeping the JA2 and Vengeance Reloaded alive!

Have fun!

Drop Backpack bug

Sun, 05 November 2023 21:04

Hi.
I encountered a bug with Drop backpack hotkey not working.
What happened is:
I dropped the backpacks using hotkey. Then I got slaughtered and decided to surrender.
As a result of "surrender" action, Manuel ald Dimitry escaped, 3 other mercs got captured.
After this point, SHIFT+B hotkey stopped working.
I thought that those backpacks are somehow tied to captured mercs and hotkey is trying to collect dropped backpacks.
After some time I cleared the sector and manually picked up all the backpacks that were left on floor (they had names or assigned mercs on them) hoping that this will "free" the hotkey, but apparently this did not help.
Another way is to try to free the captured mercs, maybe this will help, but I cant do this in a reasonable timeframe and will have to suffer to many battles without automatically dropping and picking up the backpacks.
Any suggestions? Playing without this hotkey is a real pain in the @#$.

[Edit]
Okay, I figured it out partially. If you press CTRL+V and press button to drop B/P, then the hotkey will work to pick them up, but it will still not work after that.
