big grin Very, soon! I had a spurt of creativity and have re-done the facility sub-game . . . many more options, you can even go over to the dark side and work the criminal angle in San Mona, or become a warlord in Alma . . . or be a good guy and open a free clinic in Cambria . . . and more . . . 99 different Facilities (might be 100 before release). But to answer the question . . . as soon as I make sure the new ones don't present game-breaking problems. A few days at most. :-)

1. I visite Bobby Ray to buy p.e. TIMS BACKPACK or nightvisions. I am scrolling and then CTD!
2. I play NOVICE to learn this mod, named Arulco vacations. Vacations? No, this is hard work, very hard work. I am training militia in Omerta, looking south: enemies, enemies. I got Drassen, and am training militia; interrupt: enemies. I am healing my mercs: enemies, enemies. I look into Ja2-Options.ini: Loyality by default: 42 %(!). Sorry, no chance.
I play "Enemies drop all: No", but I am looking into cupboards for items: very hard work.

Sorry.

The maps are very good. Money 999999 is better than original and we have Ja2-Options.ini and no lock down any mine or so. But the enemies are to much. Can I change this? Thank you. suprised

I am guessing you mean the patrols that come by. I added a lot more patrols, and they patrol the roads and go into the towns. You can try using the vanilla 1.13 PatrolGroups.xml as there are fewer and they cover much less ground..

Go to

..\Data-AV\TableData\Army\

and rename PatrolGroups.xml to AV-PatrolGroups.XML or whatever you wish. The VFS will go to 1.13 to read that PatrolGroups.xml file if AV doesn't have it.

However . . . you'll need to start a new game.

There are other ways, but they are more involved - and all that I know need a game re-start.

I am playing vers. 1.11
In the Ja2-Options.ini: ENABLE_ALL_TERRORISTS = TRUE.
I got Terry, Joe, Annie and Jasmin in the same sector.
But I was seeking for Chris for the second time in the country without success. What's the matter with him? He is the best off all terrorists IMO.

Thank you!

Chris is in the same Chitzena sector as Annie, Joe, Terry & Jasmin but he lives in the south-central section of the map. He often can be seen running around the south intersection during battles . . . check your history log to see if he was an unintended victim of gunfire during a battle.

I can't seem to use Real-time sneaking in the new beta. No idea what's causing the constant turn based.

Forced turnbased mode enabled probably.
And you need to be in stealth mode.

Forgot about the stealth mode, and now it works, but is still rather spotty, sometimes forcing me into turnbased without my being spotted. Forced Turnbased mode is off.

Got what I think is a bug. In Chitzena I cannot finish combat. I am presuming it has to do with the terrorists, but they are not hostile. any suggestions, or I am going to have to kill a town?

One of the civilian factions might have turned hostile because of unintentionally being wounded. They will often hide (defensive), so I'd check the buildings for an angry civ before killing the town.

I'll try that, thanks. Also have noticed a few buildings here and there don't seem to be revealing right, the roof stays overhead, it gets janky with clicking, nothing is accessible in them.

It was the administrator hiding off in a corner, exactly like one would expect an mining admin for a totalitarian regime would do. (it just happened to be the last place I checked.)

I'm glad that was the issue.

But there is a building in lower Chitzena that doesn't have it's insides set to reveal. Here's the map fix for that. Just unzip into your main game folder merging the folders and overwriting 2 files. Savegame compatible.

That'll be nice to have when I get back around to Chitzena. There's a similar building at the Drassen SAM site.

Another one spotted is Bull complaining about Biff being on the team, when Biff isn't on the team. Not sure which merc is actually the issue, but I've got the rebels as well as Hamous, Hurl, Igor, Leech, Leon, Sam, Smoke, and Static. I think it might be Leon, Sam, or Hurl.

Some Merc/IMP voices are not played when AV is used with Sevenfm's Modpack. The reason is because in +AI ogg files have higher priority than wav files, and in Sevenfm's Modpack voices in Data and Data-1.13 are repacked to ogg format. Sevenfm fixed the issue for his Modpack and was gracious to give the converted ogg files to be used in standalone AV - as one of the things on my To-Do list is to convert wav files to ogg format wherever it is possible.

Using standalone AV you might also run into this problem if you have ogg files in your multiple mod installation of JA2 IDed the same as my wav files. This OGG Patch only includes the OGG files and does not delete the wav files - you will have to delete them manually. Proceed only if familiar with with this type of operation. When it is time for a major AV12 upgrade or fix I will include Sevenfm's ogg files instead of my wav files in a full install download. Until then proceed at your own risk when you unzip the patch into your DATA-AV folder.

Спасибо, Sevenfm!!!

Entering San Mona mine bugs the game. I'm sent to AI but my mercs are invisible and can't move.

Also one day after I arrive in San Mona, Kingpin forces becomes hostile without provocation. I didn't stole his stash, but I stole a bunch of forbidden items without no one seeing.
I think I also stealthly killed a civilian, can't remember the faction, maybe Contrabandista or Gangster (Kingpin), but no one became hostile and I kept walking, talking and looting just fine even in different San Mona sectos.

Maybe is it? The just realised later what I did? If that so... wich one? Stealing, killing or both?

edit: Gaston suddenly quits, took me a while to figure out it was because he hated someone in the team (Raider most likely). Is there any way to check mercs relations?

I also had Gaston thrown a tantrum about how incompetent Biff is a quit. What was that?
I'm assuming you are using the BETA and not the v12 release. There is a fix for the Mine Bug that was posted earlier.

It is not possible in JA2 to steal forbidden items without the owner(s) finding out. In AV San Mona there are some items you can steal, and some you can not. it depends who it belongs to.

The Contrabandistas are Tony's gun runners. If you killed one of them then Tony & Hans and a few others go aggro, but not the Gangsters. Since all the Contrabandistas are in buildings their first inclination (being outnumbered) is to take cover.

The Gaston voice file is a XML glitch. I'll check on it. Basically, he's pissed at somebody he doesn't like who is in his squad . . . and is using the Biff voice file to express his displeasure.


EDIT: He doesn't like Bubba.

Thanks for the fix! I noticed the fix has a new Ja2_Options.INI, I changed some stuff in mine. I don't remember most, but I can go over it again, but if you can make it easier for me can you tell me the code lines to change in the INI file so I can apply the changes to mine?
*EDIT: I just compare the two INI, no difference apart the changes I made and one for enemy tooltips. So I assume is safe to keep using mine.

So there is no way to know who I'm stealing from and eventually they find out even if they don't see and go hostile in the act? Since we are on the topic... in the same building with the box ring there is some safes with money inside. The money isn't forbidden. Is EVERYTHING that is not forbidden safe for taking apart from Kingpin stash? Other than Kingpin faction going hostile, what is the downside of stealing from other factions?

I read about relations and Gaston MercProfiles in your blog and it seens he hates americans very much... and his team was mostly americans. I loaded a save a few hours before he snap and left him alone. He is ok. I just started to fiddle with this relation thing, lever really cared. I'm getting the hang of it with your blog JA2 wiki "How Does It Works", problem is AV files doesn't have a PROF.dat to use PROEDIT with neither I'm can load AV files in XML Profile Editor. Any tips?

The Options.ini doesn't come into play for this problem - it's a map problem. Something about that map keeps resetting the transport spots to default (which is off-map on A1) if the map is edited after the transport spots are set. At some point i will have to rebuild the map from scratch to see if that fixes the problem.

Do you know any work around to access the mine without going through Kingpin? (i want to fight his assassins)

I tried teleport cheat but it doesn't work for underground, or at least I couldn't make it work.

Edit: could it work to go back to v11, go to the mine, do whatever I have to there, come back and change back to v12?

Some buildings interiors doesn't load, the roof keep visible over it. North east SAM site has one like that on the top right. It sometimes loads partially but I can't interact with the cabinets in it.

The magazine "7.5x55MM GP-11 24 M" is crashing the game when seen in inventory, either merc or sector.

Details: I ordered a bunch of things from BB and it started to crash my Drassen airport sector inventory, so I sent one merc to take each item out of the delivery box one by one and opened his inventory until I identified the culprit. Fun thing is the merc still can take and hold the item without the crash, that will only happen if I open his inventory, so I took in my merc hands, moved to a safe space, dropped it on the floor with SHIFT+Q and nuked it out of existence with a rocket launcher. Instant work around and I'm proud of this destructive solution to keep playing before a fix!

Thank you for this - this is an important bug because it is a break in the numbering in Magazines.XML. That will require fixes to many items in Magazines.xml & Items.xml, however you may be able to get a quick fix by going to item 2399 in Items.xml (the 7.5x55MM GP-11 24 M item), and change the <ubClassIndex>744</ubClassIndex> to <ubClassIndex>745</ubClassIndex>. This will only work for items uncovered after you make the fix.

There is no 744 in Magazines.xml, and that is causing the crash.

Looking into this uncovered another couple problems with magazines. Unfortunately, I am ill and unable to concentrate more than a few minutes at a time. Fixing this will have to wait.

Also, minor non game breaking bug. When turning ammo into boxes, flechette shotgun ammo and lockbuster ammo boxes are with each other graphic and name changed. It don't change the type of the ammo "inside the box", loading the gun or converting into different clip sizes gives you the original ammo type, just the boxes names/graphics are changed.

CMMG M7 7.3 is described as a pistol but takes two hands to hold and the animation is also of a two handed weapon. Is it how it supposed to be? Does it still beneficts from pistol perk (Gunfighter)?

CMMG M7 7.3 is described as a pistol but takes two hands to hold and the animation is also of a two handed weapon. Is it how it supposed to be? Does it still beneficts from pistol perk (Gunfighter)?
Yes and yes. Though it probably shouldn't be classified as a pistol.

Agree. It's a small carbine really no matter what advertisement says.

In game it's great, maybe too great to be a pistol when given the proper attachments but kinda breaks the cool factor of you Gunfighter to use it like a carbine both in animation and inventory.



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

I have escorted John and Mary and John promised me - just like ever in every Ja2-Mods - a gift.
But where is this gift 7 days after the escort?

You should have gotten a notice it arrived just like in other versions - as I did not change that. Check the shipping container. I'll check if anything is amiss here.

@edmortimer,

sorry, I don't have gotten a notice till now! I must write that I begann a new game because of this fact.
Because I noticed the same fault in scorpions "DSM".
I guess it's the matter of 113-Exe, not Arulco Vacations!

It might be. I don't know. But I do know that the same happens to me. I just don't know why. I gave them to John Kulba when he's a M.E.R.C. hire in his gearkits, so you can get them that way - if the game gives them to you in his equipment. At this point I'm not sure of anything big grin

Here's some reports of corrupted guns loot drop:
https://ibb.co/C67tjtK
If you think it happens to enemies with random gun entry of Map Editor, I have bad news... I spotted one case where it wasn't random gun entry. The entire inventory is the same, can't be coincidence!
https://ibb.co/HFCWyLC
You should think about getting rid of Map Editor inventory for enemies completely. Seeking out cases like above will take ages. And this glitch is quite annoying...
You can use summary GUI of Map Editor to check if a map has enemies with inventory specified (detailed):
https://ibb.co/QJZ1t26
Though hurry is the last thing needed here. First of all you have to find out exactly what causes this glitch!


Why do you always add Isolated Entry Point to your maps? It is special one which has to be placed ONLY when needed (in veeery rare cases...). If placed in a wrong place it causes troubles ... (I describe'em below).
https://ibb.co/wyL8jHG
G3 map has that terrible bug I reported long ago, when I did not dive into Map Editor, for some earlier AV version for this same G3 (or maybe another G3... don't remember at all, but that's G3 for sure!). I attack the sector with 2 squads from east. First my squads get placed at Central Entry Point as by airdrop or ambush (there was no message saying it is an ambush). Then (luckily very soon) my merk ("Jack", see screenshots) sees an enemy who is outside legal territory of the map and I understand at once IT IS... MY OLD FRIEND... this bug...
I use cheats and see there are only half the enemy squad (exactly the half! 8 out of 16) inside map boundaries. I kill them all (alt+o) and see: yep, half the enemy were on "unachievable area" of the map. I load the save I made on entering the battle and see lacking enemies, re-spawned by re-loading! It is kinda workaround for this bug. But what caused it?
I load the map in the editor and see two bad signs:
- Isolated Entry Point while it is not needed!
- Central Entry Point is too close to the edge of the map!
I fix these issues and voila, map loads without the bug. Maybe fix, maybe luck... only prolonged testing will show... looks worth trying!


Another problem from wrong placed Isolated Entry Point: in sector G6 by attack from east only half of the edge is available for spreading merks. Just delete Isolated Entry Point to fix it.
https://ibb.co/8NwbfPs
Or F6 & G6 could have narrow passage between them. That would accord with Strategic Map.
https://ibb.co/9GPHvf8
MovementCosts.xml requires a bit of editing and this don't get updated in current campaign (new game only) so take care.
I share these 3 maps for you. You can use them as reference... or just as ready fix & mod. I think they are safe to use. I only changed Entry Points there... plus mountain passage, touched nothing else.
