Hey, All,
(This is a praise file)
I am wrapping up a game of JA2-1.13, (7609 version), and ran into some issues.
First, the voices on the Mercs in the tactical/ sector maps dropped out; weird. Closing the game and restarting the computer didn't help.
(other sound files - music, MP3 files were unaffected)
Second, the mine income had plummeted and Town loyalty(ies) had fallen.
Conclusion (eventually) - I had a "VOLTAGE" event, which had the effect of corrupting several files in the JA2_1.13 game folder, ones related to sound.
If someone knows which files these are, that would be useful information - for damage-control or tinkering purposes.
I "parked" this whole folder and "pulled" a stored <copy> of the GAME FOLDER onto the target computer.
I resumed play, finding in the process (after several extremely HOT fire-fights, that I don't want to "re-fight") that the Mine income had dropped.
When I pulled the stored game folder from the external drive, had I "SAVED" all the changes to the INI, Reputation_Settings.INI, MercProfiles.xml in the old installation folder?
No, I didn't save any changes to the INI or INI-files in DATA-1.13 folder, nothing.
Over the last year I've made numerous and un-recorded changes to the INI; un-recorded because the corrupted files in the "parked" folder was deleted, permanently (not even in Recycle Bin).
I want to Praise the Forum, and those who created the "posted messages" file - very useful. You can look up your previous posts, and the responses.
To NEWBIES, spend some time finding out how to use the FORUM and the various categories.
Also, take seriously warning messages about how you modify the INI (main) or other .ini files, as well as .xml files.
The Forum listing and messages about new user information is well worth the time taken;
Home » PLAYER'S HQ 1.13 » v1.13 Solutions,Tips & Spoilers » New User Guide
there are others, but this is a good starting point.
My long-winding-road game is nearly done, just north of Meduna, so I'll just take my lumps and finish it.
When done with that, I'll take the good advice given to install a fresh new 1.13 install and save that with all my tweaks.
Now back to the grind.
