Ok, I think I'm on it. WF6.06 uses a custom data directory. So I have to place the HAM graphic updates (cursor etc) into that dir.

WF does heavily modify items and such, so that was why I thought it might not work.

Well even if it does modify items, I don't think there are XML compatibility issues between 2124 and 2240 (non-multiplayer and multiplayer). Still, I can't say for sure as I don't have any installation of non-multiplayer to test out HAM on. In any case, let me know what you find out.

That worked. EDB in HAM is working correctly.

So far to get it working: I have extracted HAM b2.6 Data-1.13 folder into the Data-Wildfire6.06 folder, extracted the HAM .exe and instructions into the root folder, and copied TITLETEXT_MP.STI (from another load) into the JA2/Data/Loadscreens-folder.

It appears to be working. I don't think that I'm going to continue running this WF campaign because I want to continue testing "vanilla" HAM.

@ orko: I hope this helps you. I would appreciate any insight that you get. I think the WF6.06 is a great game and I'll come back to it at some point.

Cheers, Thanks Headrock and Starwalker for your insight and advice.

I've got something odd here. Just liberated Drassen, but the Queen's speech isn't triggered and my history log doesn't say that I have liberated it either. Got all sectors in control and filled with militia, 100% loyality but the game thinks I don't own that city. My guess what screwed it up was enemies fleeing from battle to another already occupied sector (C14 to D13, mercs and militia in that sector, no autoresolve popped up so I cleared it myself).
I will go back to an older save now and hope the enemies don't flee battle this time, if that was what it triggered.

Sorry, I just accidently overwrote my previous save game. That said, doing the battle again from an older save game with no enemies fleeing did the trick, Drassen is now liberated. Well, at least I think that this was the problem, I see if I can make them flee again to look if it happens again.

I have both the modded ja2 1.13 WF and the standalone wildfire. The wf 1.13 would be absolutely fabulous, but the damage balance is *much* better in the original wf. In 1.13 I still need multiple headshots and can walk away from point blank shot from 12 gauge, which would not happen in real wf. Have i done somethign wrong with the 1.13 install or is it inteded to have the damage system of a normal jagged alliance instead of the one from Wildfire?

You can adjust damage globally in the JA2-options.ini to achieve results similar to WF.

Easy you have to have admin privileges in Vista. You can disable UAC to allow this, or you can set the folders to be full access. Easier to do the UAC fix though.

I posted a reversible UAC fix here:

sorry to bother eveyryone, but the registry up(/down?!?)grade did not help my problem. I do have admin privileges, since there is only one user account in my computer. I even asked help from MS, though their way did absolutely nothing at all. Folders seem to be magically "protected" by the Unable to Access Computer -feature that now should be disabled.

You have to run the respective reg file then restart before it takes effect (sorry I didn't mention that).

Also you may want to check that the folders are not 'Read Only'. That can sometimes be a left over of the Unbelievably Abstract Crap that MS kindly put in for morons.

Tried it, but no cigar. The folders are still read-only, with no access to modifying files. The vista is home edition, so there is probably a hidden "no-way are you gonna use this computer (harharhar)" -string of code somewhere.

I have to say that they weren't joking when they said that the security vista is much improved over everything they have released before. In addition to the regular security, that prevents unauthorized use, the goddamn vista prevents every other type of use alltogether. So instead of a computer I have a safe for electronic information.

Hello guys!


I consider restarting with JA2, and since I stopped originally because the original layout of the combat areas were too familiar, this would be a great mod for me.


do you think if these are compatible:


JA2 1.13 2296exe SVN @1031 Full.exe 17-Aug-2008

WF6.06-Mod_beta_english_for_JA2_1.13NIV2112_080813


(I would really like to use a 'one click' installer for 1.13, but don't know if it is possible)


Thanks!

They should be. Just make sure you use the WF exe (the 2112 one) as the newer one will damage the xml files and ini files.

My ini editor has no effect on the game(WF mod installed) for some reason. I do see the changes made in the ini file though. Tried this with fixed personality(aggressive psycho, my favourite Smile and the delay time for helicopter se to 18600 so that the time of arrival should be 06:30, but neither happened. Could there be any other reason than the game folders being read-only?

If you are only tired of the maps you could use the WF map mod with the newest SVN. I have tried it and the only problem is a crash when going to laptop screen (this is WF SVN release) but that was easily fixed by adding the WF files to a standard 1.13 folder or by copying some folders (probably laptop folder) to WF folder.

EDIT: Just noticed you wanted to use a one click installer, but others may be interested.

Make sure you are editing the right .ini, in this case the one in the WF folder. If that folder is the one being changed I have no idea what might be wrong. I have done this countless of times myself.

WF Mod and the one-click installer by Scheinworld work together. Only problem that may arise is changes in starting gear and//or the item list. I'm currently working on an item mod for the WF mod that will take care of these problems. Again, there might be problems, but that doesn't mean there are definately problems. Just take care that the WF folder contains all necessary data for the newest exe.
In my current install I first made a fresh JA2 install, used the one-click installer (including EDB, many mercs and 100AP) and then installed the WF_Mod as stated in the readme above (that means, I copied the Data-1.13 folder and renamed it to Data-Wildfire6.06, then unziped the archive into JA2 rootfolder). Works, however there might be a chance, that the mercstartinggear.xml will be changed and some of the items got thrown around. If you encounter any strange occurences playing the game, that might be related to the WF mod, feel free to post it here.

As stated at the beginning of this post, I'm currently working on a new item mod specifically for the WF mod. I've been working on it, since RoWa corrected the XML Editor. I've already done quite a number of items, there is a slim chance, that I'll finish it by the end of the year (or at least will release an Alpha version of the item mod...).

Great, I just was editing the wrong .ini file(bad though that the insight made me an idiot)!! WF works now just perfect. Correct damage modifiers would be 43, 51 and 65(gun, melee and explosive, tried by playing repeatedly similar events with "real" wf and wf the mod). Helmets protect a bit too much and hitting in the WF mod seems to be easier when the games are compared.

At the moment I've included about 70 items.

Some basic examples:
- much more LBE items than basic 1.13 (including a wider spread variety of pockets)
- Eagle combo items (fans of JA1 probably know them, for those who don't know what this is: basically an enhanced homemade bomb made from a gas tank and a grenade of choice)
- Crossbow and bolts (was already in WF_mod, but missing from 1.13)
- SVU-A (autofire-capable SVU)
- Claymore mine and point defence land mine
- C1 and C4 small charges
- 40mm illumination grenades
- missing ammo crates

new merges (including modular LBE items; trip flare and klaxon; merge for cigars+canteen=camo set...)

There are still several more items I want to include on my list... (more attachment combos to save attachment slots, i.e. combos of laserpointer, scope and reflex sight; HE shotshells; more handgrenades; more binoculars, night vision binocular and sniper telescopic sight...).

And probably some more merges... and a slightly changed price increase on high end guns.

I manage to include 5-10 items per day (depending on my working mood Wink), thus it'll probably take some more days, before I can work over the mercstartinggear.xml and the enemygunchoices.xml.


Edit: ah, just forgot: I also reworked some maps (for example one of the meduna maps can be reached with a vehicle from the north, but had no road to the north in the tactical map, thus the vehicle would end up in the jungle... that has been fixed. The Jeep will be available early on, just look around Omerta... some minor changes I don't remember, the map changes are a while back, I just was too lazy to release them Wink)

Okay, am still stumped trying to get WF maps to work with 100AP.

I started with Gold, added Schein's 1 Click 1.13, then added WF Maps but while all 3 exe's work, none of them start with WF maps.

Silly question, was Smeagol's directions for the game mod and not the map mod?

Sounds like you haven't changed your ja2.ini. An ini that activates the WF mod should also be included in the install so if you put that in your JA2 folder this shouldn't matter.

Open the JA2.ini file in the JA2 root folder and scroll down to the line with this:
CUSTOM_DATA_LOCATION = Data-1.13


If you don't want to use the WF .ini change the above to the location where you put the wildfire maps, i.e:

CUSTOM_DATA_LOCATION = Data-WildFire6.06
