So, no sense of me modifying ItemChoices_Enemy_Admin, ItemChoices_Enemy_Regular, and ItemChoices_Enemy_Elite anymore because what I put there is overridden. LBE is in those XMLs also - I'm not supposed to have to go into the editor and give every single enemy LBE . . . we have XMLs for inventory that we modify.

I don't object to gas masks, or grenades, or flashlights, or whatever else you decide they need . . . but there are XMLs for that, and if the incidence of the game choosing from the XMLs is too low (which I think it is, and obviously you think so also) then perhaps increasing the chance (equal to progress, I'd say) that each soldier gets an item from each category within those XMLs is a better way to go.
Gas masks and ceramic plates were never supposed to be assigned using itemchoices or other xmls, I didn't change that. For example, in stock 1.13 7609, 75% elites have gas mask and the rest will have hearing aid, it was always like that.
And nothing from ItemChoices is overridden, I have no idea where did you get that.

As for LBE, as I said it's not for AI, but for player only. AI has no NIV and has no idea what to do with LBE, they just carry it and then drop when killed only for the player to pick it up and equip.

Update: looking at the code, there was a bug in chance formula which resulted in enemy having armour attachments too often, it will be fixed in the next release.
As for gas masks, code works exactly as stock 1.13 7609, except AI doesn't wear gas mask from the start (as it may have penalties) and instead stores it in the inventory and puts on only when needed.

Then what are those "Armor Attachments", "Gas Masks" "Low Quality Face Items", "High Quality Face Items", "Hearing Aids", & 'Miscellaneous" entries in Itemchoices for?

Forget it.

You can decide which items AI has access to, but not the chance for a soldier to have item. It always worked like that.

No, as I said, it ain't working like you think it is. Ceramic plates are rare in AV, and to have 2 dozen ceramic plates and no Doron or nylon or steel or titanium plate means the AI ain't picking from the lists I made out.

Where in the game files this "rarity" is defined?
All you can do is put item in the xml lists, making it available to AI for choosing, and define coolness after which it becomes available.
After that the game picks random item from the list of available items with coolness.
It's not something I "think", it's the way the game code works, and it works like that since ancient 1.13 times.
I have no idea where those 2 dozen ceramic plates came from, and I have never seen that in any other mod.

Looking at the code, the only possibility to ignore certain armour attachments is if item is not legal (has coolness = 0, incorrect biggunlist or scifi, incorrect itemsize for new inventory, incorrect ubAttachmentSystem, food type, cleaning kit etc), but it doesn't seem to happen with Doron plates or other attachment plates.
Another possibility is if attachment cannot be attached to vest, from Attachments.xml, Doron Plates can be attached to Nails' Leather Jacket and M55 Flak Vest, don't know if these vests were used in that particular battle.
Apart from that, I don't see anything in the code that could prevent normal random choosing from attachments with required coolness.
Since for armour attachments the game doesn't try to find exact matching coolness, any item with coolness <= required may be used.

Another possibility to limit armour attachment choices is when created soldier has incorrect soldier class (not army or militia class of any level), in this case soldier class defaults to SOLDIER_CLASS_NONE which means default EnemyItemChoices.xml will be used instead of class specific item choices files.
And since your mod does not provide custom EnemyItemChoices.xml file, the game will use default file from Data-1.13, which only allows standard armour attachments:
183 (Ceramic Plates), 837 (Titanium Plates) and 838 (Tactical Knee Pads).
Tactical Knee Pads will not attach to vest.
If for some reason Titanium Plates is not legal item or cannot be attached to selected vest, then the only remaining attachment item will be Ceramic Plates.

Yes. Exactly. You have 50 slots to put items in. If you put a single item in multiple slots you increase the chance of it being selected. Correct? So if you have 5 slots filled and 3 are of one item you will expect 60% of the time that item will be chosen. That makes that item common, and whatever the other item(s) are will be less common.

There are no ceramic plates defined in armour attachments for regular soldiers in AV. Ceramic Plates are in 2 of 10 slots for Elites, and 1 out of 15 for Admin. That's how I define rarity.

Kevlar and Nylon Inserts, and Steel and Titanium Plates all are lower Coolness in AV than Ceramic, and all fit everything ceramic does.

So . . . how does a an incorrect soldier class happen? I can modify those default XMLs, but there seems to be something else happening if an incorrect soldier class is the problem here.

Only if all other items have allowed coolness/are legal/can be attached to particular vest.

And it has zero effect on a chance that particular soldier will have any armour attachment, which was discussed here.

Looks like you somehow missed half of my post, since all you define for elites or admins will be completely irrelevant if soldier has incorrect soldier class or SOLDIER_CLASS_NONE defined in which case none of your xmls are used.

I have no idea, it's just the only reasonable explanation of high ceramic plate chance.
You probably can define it in map editor, check if you have detailed map placement for soldiers which soldier class they have if it's possible.
From what I see in the code, for army/militia soldiers the game should correctly set soldier class even if it was NONE.

As I can guess from the code, SOLDIER_CLASS_NONE is used for armed civilians, so if player who reported extra ceramic plates issue was fighting with/against armed civilians, they could probably drop all that plates since they have no access to army's xmls. Or there is some bug which results in army soldiers having SOLDIER_CLASS_NONE.

You can just copy, for example ItemChoices_Enemy_Regular.xml to EnemyItemChoices.xml and GunChoices_Enemy_Regular.xml to EnemyGunChoices.xml so the game would at least use these xml files and not default 1.13 which could have incorrect items.

If you want to check on particular map/battle which class enemy soldier has, enable EXT_TOOLTIP_AI = TRUE in [Extended Options] section of Ja2_options.ini and it will show something like Class: SOLDIER_CLASS_ARMY in tooltip.

I do play on higher difficulty so there are more elites (I guess?). But even if enemies drop plates that still doesn't explain why there is four plates in the area I found Manuel. They are also "owned" by some faction and grayed out in inventory window.

The extra plates seem to be from the civilian factions. I had no idea the civilian factions had access to item choice XMLs, or if I did I totally forgot along the way.

Hello Ed,

another inventory glitch:

Lynx (Merc 2) hired with kit number 5 (the weatherby .460 magnum kit) arrives at omerta without the weatherby rifle in inventory. Only with his Ruger Redhawk revolver. Like Igor has he the scope in one hand and his camo kit in the other. His backpack is like Igors backpack empty. The game didn't use the inventory space from the backpack.

And Stogie has a inventory and another item dublication.

To reproduce:

Start new game. Choose Stogie from Merc and hire with his kit nr. 5 (the Bazooka kit). Choose Lynx from Aim and hire with his kit nr. 5 (the Weatherby kit).
After the arrival cut scene. Got to the map and open the sector inventory. there are 2 bazooka rockets M28A2. Go back to sector and now back to map. Open
sector inventory again. now here are the inaccessible first 2 rockets and another 2 inaccessible rockets. Btw. Stogies Backpack and the whole inventory is full.

If it helps - my thoughts:

Could it be inventory related? Like the game handle the personal inventory? If not enough space in the personal inventory for some items and it didn't go to nirwana like the rifle in case of lynx or igor,
it can't get rid of it and throws that item at map inventory instead, but inaccessible and throw it out again and again every time when sector inventory is opened?

How is the character inventory at start and at entry of a new sector handled, if game choose there isn't enough space in character inventory and how get the game rid of the item in this case?
Is there a default behavior for this?

Thanks, I'm wrapping up some loose ends so I will attend to those before releasing the non-BETA v12.

The gearkits . . . well, the new inventory system seems to have thrown a monkey wrench into it from a human perspective, as I've been told that the program doesn't 'know' about NIV pockets but we see them and expect things to be put into them.

The problem of the missing weapons, however, is something different. I suspect it is indicative of an error in the XMLs somewhere but have been unable to isolate it. Some weapons just will not show up, yet a very similar weapon just a few slots away in the XML will show up. Or, in case of weapons very far away in the XMLs but almost identical and with nothing out of order, such as the AK-74 and AK-74M, only the AK-74 will show up.

As for inaccessible items after entry . . . your guess is as good as any.

I've fixed Skyrider. It works as in vanilla that once the escort quest is finished he stays as the helicopter pilot, with one exception: if you want to hire him you give him any amount of money in Tactical. Of course, he then is no longer the heli pilot.

I'll make a patch from the Beta-refresh to the final v12 available for a short time. After that just the full v12 will be available, with a v13 tentatively scheduled for next year. Of course, fixes for any game-breakers will be available as they are found and fixed.

Thanks. I'll fix that . . . again. I wish i knew what resets those teleport grids because I have fixed that multiple times and it reappears.

Try these maps. i just fixed them again. Included is D4 surface and mine map, and D5 surface and mine map.

Murray "Pops" McGillicutty has an completely empty inventory window,
Finally found the problem with Pops' gearkits. Later today I will see if there are a few very quick things I can fix before compiling the release version of AVv12. I also want to clear out a few more map sectors of random weapons in enemy inventories (they are the weapons that eat ammo). The eating ammo issue will still be present in v12 until I go over every map sector and clear out the random weapons from enemy inventories. I suggest that after battles go to the strategic inventory screen and use the "unload all ammo" button. The weapons that do not unload will eat ammo. You can sell them off (ALT-RMB), get some money for them and not worry about them. AV is full of weapons everywhere, and all random weapons can be bought or found elsewhere easily enough.

Here is a patch for the AV v12 BETA to bring it up to AV v12 release. It will only work for the AV-v12-BETA, and not any version of AV before that. Later today I will post a link to the full version AV v12 (it takes a bit longer to upload).

This patch does not include Seven's latest +AI executable. I encourage you to download his latest creation from his page.

A big OOPS on my part, and an apology to the person who has already downloaded the full version. I did not use the correct copy to make the full download It can be patched using the BETA to v12 Patch, so no need to re-download the full version.

I will post the correct link momentarily. This is the correct link.

There is still more to do, of course, but there's always more. I will update the main AV forum thread very soon (real life calls). If there's anything amiss you can post here.

The file is 956MB, and includes Sevenfm's +AI_r2037 executable.

My game keeps freezing at day 18 exactly at 4:59AM. I hear a *blep* like I received a message but the game just freezes. I tried changing a lot of what my mercs are doing, but doesn't seen related to any action I do at all. Does JA2 have any crash log or something I can use?


Born, play JA2, die, reload, die again, reload again.

You can run debug version in visual studio, it will show much more information.
Apart from that, only default logs that can be found in profile may help.

To give some feedback. I was trying everything I can today again since the logs didn't had anything and I would need to learn my way in Visual Studio. I kinda find out what it was.

First I managed to pass the freeze. Since it happened always at the exact same ingame time, I tried to do a bunch of thing differently, until I let the timer run in tactical view. The game did freeze, but for a few short seconds and carry on. Then I tried again in strategic view, but gave the game more time. It took longer than tactical view but the game did unfreeze itself too.

I then started to try to figure out why the game was freezing, and I think I did. Six ingame minutes after the freezing I receive a Bobby Rays shipment in Drassen Airport that already had >5000 items in sector inventory. I settled for it them, the game loading those new BB items in a huge sector inventory even if it's just 3 ammo boxes more. But the freeze happened at 4:59~5:00 and Bobby Rays arrive only at 5:06, no freeze at all. So I deleted to whole sector inventory to see if the freeze still happens. It did happen for a noticiable fraction of a second, very fast, and I noticed new items in the sector exactly at 5:00 before BB items: the whole equipment of one of my mercs that quitted hours ago. The freeze was the game loading his equipments and it did got worse with a full >5000 sector inventory (and probably would got even worse with more). So that's it. Not game breaking and very situational, just let the old game take some time to think.

This should not happen normally, but maybe some part of the code could be optimized to avoid these slowdowns.
If you post a save with description, I may take a look to find possible fix, but cannot promise it soon.

Sure. I'm sending a save file from 1 game min before the freeze (so you don't have to wait or do anything), my AV Ja2_Options.INI (may be needed for save compatibility) and a .txt with the description of the bug and exactly wich game version I'm using.
