noticed one more thing about wolf (i used him in the first fight), other that the radio thing, and turnin' at different directions, now he can walk into rooms with unlocked closed doors without actually havin' me to order him to open the door, he just walks to the door, open it, walks inside and closes it behind him, which is really like the way enemies bahave, not really complainin' just noticed this weird thing and wanted to share it.
:wave:

Hiya.
I'm a noob on the forum and a noob of JA2, just started a week ago. (I played JA1 a lot tho. Then I heard about some rumor that JA2 gives you worse equipment every time you save the game, never bothered to check if it was true or not. And never played the game because of it. I guess it turned out to be just a myth 
ANYWAYS, I'm not a noob to problem solving.
I'm using JA2 v1.13 2085 new inventory.
Here's some info on my "boxing bugs" and how I manage to overcome them. Sure they aren't scientific or a cure for the bugginess, but they help.
Merc who does my fighting is Bull.
Problem: When giving Darren money, Kingpin doesn't show up.
Solution0: Make sure there's no npc's standing around at the door. And ONLY having 1 merc in the sector helps.
Problem: After a fight, the merc just "freezes" in the ring.
Solution1: When you knock down your opponent, kneel and hit him one more time. DON'T kill him.
Solution2: Before you enter the ring, throw away your backpack or pouch. Sounds crazy but it works. Just leave it on the floor. Gun too. My merc "only" has holsters, armor, face gear, medikit and dusters on him.
Solution3: Enter the ring from different angles.
Problem: After the fight, Darren doesn't ask if you'd like another fight.
Solution4: Don't talk to him. Leave the sector and come back. Be friendly and after the first conversation he should ask for a new fight.
I'm using solutions 0,1,2 and 4 now everytime when fight day comes and I manage to get all 3 fights pretty consistently and without much hassle.

Hi,
Haven't played JA2 in years. Heard about 1.13 and tried it. Man it's awesome.
Ok about this bug. I don't remember encountering it in the original Ja2 but that was years ago. But i did see it in 1.13 and wildfire. So, here is my solution. I did it about 2,3 times and seems to work every time.
After my opponent goes down I don't finish him off imediately but instead go to the side of the ring near Darren. Then after the next turn Darren proclaims the winner and I jump out of the ring next to Darren and he gives me the money.
What I notice is that after the fight if I jump out of the ring 3 or 4 tiles away from Darren he does not give me the money.
Donno if this works for you though.

Ok i didn't know about the - Don't kill the guys thing and i killed them all and next time i didn't have any competition the next time- the fight didn't end after i knocked them down and hit them- so what do i do exactly? i knock them down, hit them once, then what? w8t for a little while?
O w8t i didn't see that last post- but i thought if u went out of the ring it was an automatic loss?
So u go out of the ring or just near Darren?

Everyone who does the boxing knows that there's only 1 opponent every round. =P
I would avoid the boxing but there's just not enough money when you haven't captured at least 3 mines yet even just to keep your mercs around. I buy my guns from Bobby Ray's and those ain't cheap since enemies drop useless guns. XD
Though come to think about it, "enemies drop all equipments" seems much more realistic than winning 15k every 2nd night since i bet even Kingpin can see his fighters got nuthin' on my fighter merc and they're just wasting their bets.

The boxing event is the single worst piece of code in the game, 1.13 included. I have had no end of bugs, documented in my other thread. I've counted now 5 separate, easily reproducible bugs in this area, on a clean install. Each of the bugs will either prevent you from fighting (often permanently), steal your money or both. Some of them do, as mentioned earlier, cause strange behavior to persist well into the game. This needs to be looked at. I can only imagine the twisted mass of spaghetti code that must be swirling around these subroutines. It's F*CKED.
Yes, I'm pissed off.
