While attempting to liberate Arulco once more you need to find Miguel Cordona and the traitors who double-crossed him and his country.

Info

Legion 2 takes place in a tiny country called Osarwia, that's had it's government recently brought down and is now in a big, big mess. In some sectors you'll end up fighting two different factions at a time and what's more each faction is hostile to the other.

Karlos, a terrorist, has kidnapped the daughter of one of the world's wealthiest people - Oswald and flees to an isolated country of Osarwia. For letting the girl go, he demands an outrageous amount of money as ransom.

Your tasks will be to first: find and rescue her from the kidnappers' hands and second: take her to safety, possibly the farthest you can away from Osarwia. Should you fail to do that in 30 days, you might as well pack your bags and go home, because she doesn't have that much time.

3. Fight For Freedom Multi-player

http://i657.photobucket.com/albums/uu293/off_topic/562108.jpg

https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/2412/e59ho0zzcd54ptgzg.jpg

Mod Designer: The Scorpion

Download: https://storage.rcs-rds.ro/links/4729f8d6-f44b-42b7-aa3e-e0ddc6deead6?path=%2FJA_2%2FMods_v1.13%2FFFF-Multiplayer

1945, World War II in Europe and the Pacific came to an end - Hitler is dead, and the Hiroshima and Nagasaki were razed to the ground. Terrible, Nazi ideology, however, are not removed by the end of human consciousness. The Pacific Ocean is a small island, ruled by a dictator-fascist. To destroy the evil, the form in which the player takes the role receives adequate resources to recruit a mercenary group aimed at the liberation of the islands from fascist rule.

This modification for JA2 (1.13) is meant to be played in Multiplayer mode and balanced for co-operative gameplay.
It is however possible to use Deathmatch gameplay or to use it in Single Player mode. There will be a lack of certain gameplay elements in single player, such as lacking NPC's/ Quests, entrances to underground levels, unfitting web site visuals and other faulty/missing elements. Use at own risk.

A recently developed single player English version of this mod is also available here which includes a full collection of NPC's, some with speech and new UI graphics

7. JA2UB Vietnam SOG'69

http://i657.photobucket.com/albums/uu293/off_topic/spooky1.jpg

Mod Designer: Becoming x

Status: Released

Language: English

Resolution: 640x480

Download Size: 35MB+

Download Mod: Vietnam SoG'69
UB Patch 1.01: 1.01 Patch
SOG 69 patch 1: P1
SOG 69 patch 2: P2
Sog 69 ReadME (downloadable webpage) : ReadMe

http://area.xrmb2.net/gfx/screenshots/sog2.jpg

Strap on your boots and grab your Tiger Stripe fatigues, it's time to hump the boonies in a JAUB Vietnam adventure. Features entirely new environment and mission to explore with new NPC's,RPC's and quests. A Vietnam era weapons packs completes this great JA excursion.

Installation

1. Begin with a clean install of JA2UB.
2. Update UB with Patch 1.01.
3. Install Wizard Sog 69.
4. Set Campaign from the Root JA2UB folder to SOG 69
5. Install Wizard Patch 1.
6. Set Campaign from the Root JA2UB folder to SOG 69 again*
7. Install Wizard Patch 2.
8. Set Campaign from the Root JA2UB folder to SOG 69 again*
9. Ensure to look through readme for instructions.

*This may not be necessary but it seems to fix some bugs I had with items getting mixed up.

Info

Area of Operations In Vietnam SOG'69 there are three main area of operations (AO): Iron Triangle, An Loc, and Cambodia. There are also two smaller AO's, Journey to Tay Ninh and Tay Ninh. AO's are my way of increasing difficulty in the mod without having the player run into unconquerable sectors too early in the game. AO's become increasingly hard due to more advanced weapons and higher quality enemies. Traveling Between Areas of Operations: The larger AO's cannot be reached on foot, and must be accessed by helicopter or other vehicles. This is done using JA2's teleport feature. Throughout the mod maps with teleports to new AO's will become available through items that provide passwords for zip files. However when traveling from one AO to another be sure to take all the items you may need as once you reach a new AO, there is no going back. The exception to this is the Iron Triangle, where you can travel from back to Tay Ninh at any time by accessing a landing zone (LZ). Note that no items from an old AO are necessary to solve quests in a new one.

Traveling within AO's Travel within an AO is easy as all sectors can be reached on foot. However be aware of landing zones (LZ's) that may provide a strategic advantage to just arriving on foot.

Installing Zips: Most zips are dat files or html files. The html file can be put in the Briefings folder. This will allow them to be accessible from this file. Dat files are the maps for Vietnam SOG'69. Install these files in JA2UB/Data/Campaigns/VietnamSOG'69. Make sure you restart JA2UB to load these new files.

Game Changes:

Weapon Changes:

Handguns have had their ranges increased. The shortest range for handguns is 14 squares and the highest is 19.

VC use .45 cal?

Things are a little different in Vietnam. Many of the US weapons are 9mm, .45 cal, 5.56mm or 7.62 NATO based.
The VC/NVA use weapons based on 7.62 soviet pistol, 7.62 soviet, some 9mm, 7.5mm.
This makes the old JA way of scavenging for weapons and ammo a little difficult.
Dead enemies will drop less useful ammo unless your squad is equipped with VC/NVA weapons.
Which for the most part are a little cruddier than the weapons for the US and it's allies.
This means your team will run out of ammunition in the field. So trips back to Tay Ninh or a friendly fire base
should be scheduled in. Unless you want your team to be totally equipped with VC/NVA weapons. Which may not be
that bad. This knowledge also means that you should pack your team with as much ammo, medical supplies and
c-rations that they can hold. There is a new piece of equipment for medics, the medical bag which can attach
a med kit, c-ration type 1 and first aid kit. This is worn by the medic in the chest armor slot, although it
provides less protection than a flak vest. After coating it can provide a more adequate amount of protection.
The consequence of packing yourself down like that is......

Weight:
Due to the draining climate of the jungle weight should definitely come into play in this campaign. First off most items weigh more. Medical kits have had their weight increased and armour is heavier. Most of the guns are heavier (not on purpose, it just worked out that way). Plus equipment like C-Rats, which can help your troops out a lot, weigh in at quite a bit. Also you should have your mercs loaded down with ammo, and grenades.

Enemy troops will not drop items they don't use. They will hardly ever drop medical kits and never drop 40mm ammo or C-rats. These are items that are in abundance at the base but not in the field. Stock up accordingly.


Extra Mod Pack
Download: Jona SOG'69

Install: Unpack Data to your JA2UB(SOG) Data folder.

N.B. There are NO sound files available (because of size)!
If you want to use all of the new features you NEED to add the following:

Download: Sog_En_Sound

Just unpack the files to desktop/SOG folder then cut & paste into Data folder.

All Files for
- battlesnds
- npc-speech
- speech

for the following characters from JA2:
- 69 Vince
- 63 Hamous - all 063_* must be renamed to 071_*
- 72 Maddog (replaced by Eve)

This is an add-on for the SOG campaign. It should only be used after you played the original SOG at least once or it will spoil some of the fun.
This add-on includes NO Fixes.
Have a lot of fun!
Greetings, Jona

10. JA2:UB MFM Tracona

Mod Designer: Will Gates

Status: Released

Language: English

Resolution: 640x480

Download:MFM Tracona in front of Data folder

Download:MFM Tracona inside Data folder


JA2:UB MFM Tracona

This is just meant to be a bit of fun. Because of the odd character clash with JA2: MFM I wouldn't advise importing from the original campaign but you can if you want. This mod uses drop-all for items game because there is no Bobby Rays in UB. You'll get decent armour and plenty of ammo real quick; but then again you're going to need it. All vehicle related exit grids bar one are a one way ticket so make sure you pack everything you need before clicking on that helicopter or boat. The robots (some from UC, some from elsewhere) are tough opponents but don't give up because of the first few casualties. Just expect some of the longest battles in JA history. There are plenty of RPC's in there and I've bumped up the money so you can start with a decent team if you want.

Some maps do have issues with freezes or CTD's and appear more common with maps containing small robots...save often especially in the town maps. One old stubborn bug that seems random is the CTD or freeze when a soldier falls from a roof with over 100% damage. Occasionally this happens to me in regular JA2 as well so it must be inherent to the engine.

Go in heavy. Go in hard.

Adds even more available NPC's to recruit. This needs its own exe to run properly

Will Gate's <PCM add-on MFM>, added Mary Kulba, Joey Graham & Oswald Johnstone.

Caveats: let the escorted persons go off on their own upon completion of their quest, they will then join if your leadership is good. (I'm thinking Joey here, don't let Martha see one of your mercs or her thank you speech will interrupt Joey joining as RPC).

You'll have to give them all fighter bodytypes in your prof.dat (use Scorpions PCM prof.dat for the original PCM people then fill in what you like for Mary, Joey & Oswald. Don't forget their need for sleep, skills etc. and make Mary 200 recruit on friendly & Joey 200 recruit on threaten, Oswald will joins regardless.)

**************

Converted sound files so my machine plays them in game. Fixed a few of Skyrider's files (missing) and filled in his merc.edt where it's blank by mistake. Not MISTAKE actually. Scorpion left these blank (& some Miners speeches) so their interrupt game speeches still made sense. I prefer that their day to day speeches were as full as possible...just a personal preference. Where possible all sound files now converted to the exact JA2 format (some were too small to undergo the conversion but still work in game).

N.B. Problems with Mary Kulba... I'll keep working on it!

Russian Version

English translation by Inshy - V0.99

Status: Released

Language: Originally Russian (Mercs speak English) but with English subtitles for main plot and NPC's. Inshy has produced a vastly improved Enlgish translation for this UB mod.

Resolution: 640x480

Download Size: 241MB (base install plus extras)

2. Install Wizard
3. Extract English translation to Data folder.
4. Set Campaign to sj

Info

Shady Job is a new standalone UB mod. It's main features are the new tactical map, new traders, new characters and weapons. It has an original retro Jagged Alliance 1 interface and a half decent animated intro movie to begin.


Shady Job: a doubtful offer

The action takes place on a small island in the 'East Sea', your squad will oppose forces of very powerful organization mentioned earlier in JA sequels though this organization did not take any active part in past JA events. Your new client is A.I.M. itself.

The story line is not connected with Arulco or Tracona, and does not feature Deidranna or Enrico. Only the familiar companions in arms from AIM and M.E.R.C. will follow us in this new adventure. The game has it's own unique intelligence report at the beginning and will familiarise operatives with the field of operations. An animated movie presents events in accordance with the main story, incoming letters in the laptop will be from employers and numerous NPC's which will brief you about the events on the island.

Despite initial orders of your mission in the opening letter from the client, you will only discover the truth behind the "Shady Job" assignment in the closing part of the game.

Download English
Download German

Pit thread here: http://thepit.ja-galaxy-forum.com/index.php?t=thread&frm_id=203&


Installation:

1. Install JA2 as usual.
2. Open .rar file, open Deidranna Lives US Folder double click JA2Dl.exe.
3. Installer will ask for path to JA2 Folder. E.G. C:\Program Files\Jagged Alliance 2 Gold Deidranna Lives.

Info:

An unofficial sequel set a few years after the original JA2 and there is a new threat in Arulco. Most of the town maps have undergone some renovation, and the country is overcoming the influence of Deidranna. Also includes new weapons and a few surprises.

21.JA2v1.13 WildFire6.06

http://i657.photobucket.com/albums/uu293/off_topic/Wallpaper7_1024.jpg

Mod Designer:Jax(Jelinobas) and Smeagol

Status:Released

Language:English

Resolution:1024x768

Download:WildFire1.13En

Installation:

1.Ja2v1.13 One click installer
2.In your Ja2 1.13 root folder copy your Data-1.13 folder and rename the copy Data-WildFire6.06
3.Unpack the mod into your Ja2 1.13 root folder and allow overwriting of existing files.

Note:There is also an S.V.N version of WildFire 6.06

Alpa v16 Item Mod Just select the most recent file.

After file is downloaded unpack and place in the Wildfire 6.06 Data folder, start the game using SpaceVikings exe (should be entitled ja2_release_SV_b007a.exe or similiar). EDIT : This link will also give you the latest edition, just use the latest revision only !
Info:

In addition to the new maps and new mercs several changes were done to the NIV (from JA2 1.13 2085/2112)
and several new LBE added.


The mod was made with the goal to not only provide new maps, new mercenaries and new items, but also to raise the difficulty of the original Wildfire. The options.ini and the XML data was accordingly changed.

Basically everything is a bit more difficult. "insane" can quick become "hell".
There's a backup options.ini for those who don't want to struggle every second.

It might be a good idea to start at an easier level. The first few maps and encounters might look easy at first glance,
but this will likely change faster than you would like.

Extra:

You can also download this International Version which is more compatible with other Mods such as DBB etc...

22.JA2 Militia Factions Modv1.07

http://i657.photobucket.com/albums/uu293/off_topic/laptop.jpg

Mod Designer:Will Gates

Status:Released (Still being tweaked)

Language: English

Resolution:640x460

Download:MFM in front of Data folder
Download:MFM inside Data folder

Download:Guerilla Warfare Style Maps


Installation:

Info:

Additional Intelligence.

Upon arrival in Omerta your team should head straight for the Militia command bunker until you've fully assessed the situation. Intelligence suggests that the Royalist Military Forces have heavily mined the whole area and are preparing for their final assault on the Rebel base. Please don't speak to Fatima about Enrico's letter until the whole of Omerta is under your control, as it will mess up her sequence.

(1) Armed Factions and Militia.

Cordonista Rebels. These are friendlies on the ground and some who have joined since Enrico was forced to flee. I'm sure almost the entire population will be sympathetic once they realise you are supporting the rebels.

JK & Sons. Allied closely with the rebels this faction is responsible for the few remaining forms of vehicular transport left outside of State control. Get on the wrong side of them and it'll be the long march option.

Local Militia. They are loyal to Enrico and thus also to you. Some cities have already managed some clandestine training; the rest you will have to draw from volunteers amongst the liberated populace.

Medecine Sans Frontiers. An NGO without whom the ordinary people of Alrulco would have been without healthcare these past many years. Due to severe pilfering of medical supplies they've been forced to hire some low level security guards, mostly grateful former patients.

SMA Co. This is the third largest group but are effectively neutral for now. They have expanded their business interests from simple gun running into all forms of legitimate trade and workshop repairs. Their warehouse in San Mona is worth a look.

Royalist Military Forces. These soldiers are obviously your main enemy. They are by far the largest group and they never surrender. I'd only recommend surrendering to them yourself if you have no option. They have all been issued with black uniforms.

Ricci Mining Corporation. Part of the super rich royalist elite who keep my homeland in thrall and should be shot on sight. This faction currently exploits the mineral wealth of Alrulco simply to prop up the corrupt regime. They also run the prisons for a profit.

KP Enterprises. The second largest group with close ties to the Queen. They have parts of Alrulco under the heel of their cynical exploitation with State complicity as they provide R&R for Royalist soldiers, contract assassination and cheap goods for export.

Hexville Slaughter Ltd. A nasty group of inbred back-woods-men answerable to nobody. They are into some limited gun running but are mostly interested in all forms of animal products including the illegal trade of endangered species parts.

https://81.169.133.124/source/ja2/branches/Wanne/JA2 1.13 Wildfire 6.06 EN - Merc MOD

4. Download all the files with TortoiseSVN to the folder, this may take up to an hour.
5. After download (update from TortoiseSVN) copy the content (Data-Wildfire6.06 folder, JA2 configuration settings) to your JA2 root directory. Overwrite any existing files.
6. Right click on the root folder of your JA2WF6.06 and select svn update any time you want to check for revisions.

WF SVN Discussion Forum

EDIT: This will probably be updated when Smeagol's Alpha item mod proves to be stable, until then however, latest revision was August '08, all maps added.

Latest update January '10 by Inshy, some fixes etc.

28.JA2 1.13 Add Ons/Mini Mods

Badass Mini Mod
Author:AFP

Badass Mod
Badass Patch

This is a Jagged Alliance 2 mod made to be used with 1.13 platform and New Inventory system. It is dedicated to those who find the current 1.13 weapons balance too close too cheating or those looking for a new challenging game playing experience. I tried to fix some of the issues related to weapons and improved some other internal things.

New Interface/Laptop Graphics
Author: Thor

Interface

Laptop

The interface is based on all interfaces I could find, as I needed ideas. I hope that nobody takes offense of that. This current version is for 800x600 NIV + EDB enabled only. So not only do you have to set your game to the right screen resolution and play with NIV, you also either have to use it with current SVN downloads or with HAM or EDB.

Concerning the laptop files... As some of you may remember from previous threads, I like to spice 'em up a little. Only desktop.pcx & Okey Dokey/confirmorder.sti should be deleted if you don't like nudity. Apart from this, I've made several changes here as well since I've posted that thread.

Color changes to Blonde head, Black skin and Pink skin to make them look more natural.

How to install:
Replace JA2PAL.dat in "JA2\Data-1.13\BinaryData" folder with modified one.

Shed23's 1.13 Mod
Author: Shed23

Download:1.13Mod This link is no longer valid, please post here if you find a new one!

Notes;

The MAPS folder belongs in Data/Maps.
The RADARMAPS folder belongs in Data/Radarmaps.

It is entirely possible that the MAPS/RADARMAPS can/could go into the same folders within Data-1.13. The above, is the method I have been using.

The MovementCosts XML goes into Data113/TableData/Map.
The GarrisonGroups XML goes into Data113/TableData/Army.

B_MAP PCX goes into Data113/Interface.

Also included, is the necessary tilesets:

Data/Tilesets.
Data113/Tilesets.

The JA2SET.DAT goes into Data113/BinaryData.

Please note, that some tilesets do not have all of the 'debris', and therefore, some maps may look a little bit 'clean'.

Contains loads of new maps, some maps are altered ones from 'God knows where'. Others are from Vanilla but altered.


Sectors N13 & 14, O14 & P14 are not accessible at present. I have a feeling that it will not be long before they are available though, hence leaving them where they are.

This project was designed to be used on INSANE & TONSOFGUNS settings. How it will work on other settings, I have no idea. This project has become too disjointed for my ideas to continue, so I am starting another. There are opportunities to equip your mercs at A9, but you may have to edit this map for stuff to show up.

NOTE: I have NOT tested every area. There may well be problems. What I have tested, leads me to believe that this is an absolute pig to play, as you are 'up to your neck in it' from day one!

Resolution:640x480

Size: 60 meg

https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/a357/3wuwm3pdqsa5m5izg.jpg

Translated files

Download:B2B

Installation:

1.JA2UB
2.Direct B2B installer into your JA2UB folder.
3.Set Campaign to B2B

Info:

In Karroto a broken down aircraft is stranded on the runway, on board the President waits patiently. In a flurry of lead and death terrorists hi-jack the plan and seize total control of the country. Resistance forces are formed, and consequently, civil war breaks out. Neighboring states use the occasion to enter Karroto to expand their territory . You would never have heard of this country if not for Enrico Chivaldori.Your old friend wrote to you with a task: to find the president,report on the situation and restore order. Time to get Back to Business!

*NPCs do not have audio. This is not a bug, their texts are not spoken!
*Choose "Tons of Guns"!
*Do not import save games!
*When clicking on the 'Files' section of your laptop, the screen will go silly and flicker around like an epileptic at a rave. This is normal, as the files section has been externalized so it can be updated when playing. Just let it happen.

Features include;

*New story and characters with unique graphics
*New items and UI

A newer Russian version called 'Back to Business VM edition' features a full Russian Voice pack as well as some gun changes and older 1.13 features added. It's available to download here;

https://storage.rcs-rds.ro/links/4729f8d6-f44b-42b7-aa3e-e0ddc6deead6?path=%2FJA_UB%2FMods%2FBack_to_Business%2FVM_Editi on


Known bugs in B2B:

- The game occasionally crashes when talking to NPCs. Before initiating a conversation with an NPC you should always save your game. Occasionally, the game might also crash when your troops are saying something in combat. Thankfully this happens quite rarely. This bug only occurs under Windows XP, for some strange reason.

- In maps where friendly units (green pants, green shirt), or militia (blue or green shirt and white pants, like in JA2) are fighting hostiles, never leave the map during combat, as the game will always crash!

- If you enter a hostile sector, and the game tells you "Doesn't look so good there. It's inaccessible. Try another location" when placing your mercs, just use the 'spread' button to place them.

- The game fails to recognize the problem when a neighboring underground sector is missing and will therefore crash if you try to access one. So, when underground, only move from one sector to the other when a corridor or a room clearly leads you to the border of the map. An underground move from one map to the other is only required once in B2B, in two sectors in the '15 and 16' map coordinates. But even in this case the maps should only be traversed using the teleport-function and not over the 'leave map' indicator on the border of the sector.

- Some sectors contain cupboards and boxes that are inaccessible, blocked by stuff lying around. They are only there for decorative purposes and do not contain any items.

- It is possible that keys can change the way they look when they get put in the 'key-inventory' of a merc (eg, silver key becomes a gold key). This is not too much of a problem as they keys still maintain their functionality no matter what their pic is.

- External laptop (Files laptop): If the mouse is stuck in an invisible window and not all buttons can be clicked anymore, just click once outside of the laptop window on your desktop. This should free the mouse again.

32.INI Mod loader

Designer: RoWa21

Part of the INI editor that comes with v1.13

For anyone who wants to have all of their JA2 1.13 Mods in one place this is a great tool to get familiar with. If set up and used correctly you can place a shortcut on your desktop, rename it to "Mod Launcher" and use the INI to launch all the mods installed in that root JA2 folder.

Just install as normal the preferred mod on top of a recent 1.13 (I used one click) the only thing you need to avoid is overwriting the Ja2 configuration file in the root folder.then open the ini editor & select from the "Select JA2v1.13 Mod" drop down menu which data folder to use.

Then from the "JA2v1.13 Executable" drop down menu select your exe.

Press launch JA2v1.13 button on the right hand side.

For more detailed info have a look at the main thread <Here>

Summary: Separate folders for each mod, mod exe should appear in JA2 root folder, don't overwite original Ja2 options.

34. AIMNAS

Designer: smeagol

Download: https://github.com/aimnas/core

Released: Incomplete, work in progress

Language: English

Pit thread here: https://thepit.ja-galaxy-forum.com/index.php?t=thread&frm_id=243&

Smeagol's popular item mod for 1.13 expands the JA2 experience with over 1200 new items and is one of the only mod projects to make use of Big Maps. In its current state AIMNAS is still in development and due to some maps not being finished or being populated with items, including quest items means not all game elements can be played. Those wanting to play with AIMNAS elements without the incomplete Big Maps may be interested in playing BRAINMOD.

38. Experimental Mods


Advanced Cover Tool


Mod Designer: CptMoore

Download: ACT

Info: <Readme>

Zilpin's Spread Pattern Mod

Md Designer: Zilpin

Download: V004_2366


DDD's Mod
Please see the latest version:

This mod was initially introduced by Russian ja2.su forum member DDD. This mod is a further development of ideas introduced by Zilpin's aimed burst mod(it was also probably inspired by Bugmonster's JA2'005) and of cause DDD's own ideas.

All the new features are activated through the Ja2_Options.INI and are disabled by default. Please, add the following lines in [JA2 Gameplay Settings] to activate them:

SMALL_SIZE_PB = TRUE

; (false\true) default false
; New thin progress bar is drawn instead of the default one. Works only for 800X600 resolution.

STAMINA_HIT = 6900

; default 10000
; regulates the bullet hit impact to stamina. The lower is the value, the more stamina is taken out. With the value of 6900 it takes 3-4 hits to take all the breath away.

GUN_RANGE_MULTIPLIER = 130

; increase/decrease the range of all weapons. The value is expressed in %

ENABLE_EXT_MOUSE_KEYS = TRUE

; Additional mouse keys (and the "scrolling wheel") are enabled. Now we can use the mouse wheel to aim the weapon, toggle between merc-s or auto fire length. Middle mouse button is used to prone (= "L" key), alt + middle mouse button changes firing modes, alt + wheel change the stance. 4-th mouse button enables/disables the stealth mode. Alt + 4-th mouse button reloads the weapon. Mouse button 5 switches the cursor to roofs, alt + mouse button 5 enables climbing to roofs.

ALT_AIMING_ENABLED = TRUE

; default FALSE
; alternative CtH calculation

USE_AIMED_BURST = TRUE
; default FALSE
; the merc can now perform aimed burst fire and aimed auto fire. Comparing to Zilpin-s mod the system was rebalanced. Due to the reworked auto and burst penalties aimed auto-fire is less efficient then aimed burst for all guns. There is simply no use in firing more then 3 rounds due to low CtH od the last bullets. Aiming is performed by the mouse scrolling wheel. ENABLE_EXT_MOUSE_KEYS must be set to TRUE for this option.

AIMING_BURST_PENALTY = 2
; default 2
; The value is a multiplier for the auto fire penalty and burst penalty. Is needed to balance the aimed burst and aimed auto fire. 2 is an optimal recommended value.

39. Deidranna Lives 1.13 (Hybrid)

Designer: Will473 (Using Mod Squad's data)

Download: Please read and download from here

Released: Beta, currently active and supported

Language: English, German

This is a Jagged Alliance 2 v1.13 mod, designed to allow the campaign from the Mod Squad's Deidranna Lives! mod for JA2 (Vanilla) to be run with the benefit of new features created since the source code was released.

Beyond the basic v1.13 features at the time of release, this mod also incorporates items and general advance feature set from the Urban Chaos-1.13 and Alrulco Folding Stock projects.

By itself this release is not a complete mod. Instead it is meant to take an existing Deidranna Lives! "Data" folder and integrate it into the JA2 1.13 mod platform along with the contents of this mod. All credit for the concepts found in, and the actual original Deidranna Lives! belongs to the Mod Squad.

41. Low Tech Warsaw Pact Weapons Mod

http://www.box.net/shared/gic3l4ulhg

Mod Designer: Ouklus

A LTWP mod. After a lot of tweaking, I think it is now rather well balanced.
If you like to play with lot of weapons/attachments/armours, this is not the mod for you

-------------------------------
LTWP mod v1.00 by Ouklos.
-------------------------------
The Low-tech Warsaw Pact weapons is a JA2 1.13 mod. It uses VFS config and the NIV, meaning you must have a fairly recent SVN or Single-Click Installer version : minimum a Build: 2963 EXE Release.
The base XML files come from the "JA2 1.13 3042 exe SVN 1165" Single-Click Installer.

* Goals :
- Play JA2 1.13 with standardized weapons for the player and the AI, and with limited/toned down equipment.
- Reduce the "Headshot game".
----------------
* Features :
----------------
- Only WP weapons are present, with the exception of shotguns.

- The player and the AI have the same available weapons. Exceptions : UDAR for the player, Pecheneg and FN SCAR H for the AI (not buyable).

- Low tech : no "uber" weapons/armour/ammo. It means there are no : Glaser/Match/SAP/AET/Flechette ammo, silent or semi-auto sniper rifles, sniper scopes, anti-material rifles, Long Range AR, FN P90/Magpul PDR, multiple-shots GL, napalm, thermobaric, Rockets Rifles, Trigger Groups, Rod and Springs, Barrel Extenders in this mod. Cold ammo is limited to 7.62x25mm.

-------------------------
Detail of the changes :
-------------------------
* Weapons :
- Rebalanced weapons : adjusted all values like coolness, deadliness, accuracy, range, AP to ready costs, etc.
- No guns with zero or negative accuracy. How can you be PENALIZED for spending more AP aiming ?
- Increased range for pistols, mostly +2.
- Lowered Burst/Auto penalties, and decreased the Foregrip/Grippod bonuses.
- Shotguns are much more faster. Example : SPAS-15, 4AP to draw, 21AP to fire.
- Increased the "MaxDistForMessyDeath" for all weapons. More fallbacks/slow falls from roof now.
- Created new (real, except the VIS-37) weapons, by renaming and rechambering default 1.13 weapons.
Example : MP-445 (.40SW) --> OTs-27 "Berdysh" (9x18mm), CZ-75B (.40SW) --> CZ 82 (9x18mm), MP-446 (9x19mm) --> OTs-33 "Pernach" (9x18mm).
- All sniper rifles (rather DMRs in this mod) have a default scope attached. Now, even a Mosin-Nagant is a nightmare ! (the PEM scope is a slightly better PSO-1)
- The GP-30 Obuvka and RGM Kastet grenades launchers can fire now VOG-25 Stun, Tear Gas, Mustard gas and Illumination 40mm grenades.
- MG : (PKM/Pecheneg) these are "ground only" versions. They have huge ready and reload AP costs, but they can fire several short bursts per turn. They should only be fired in prone position (built-in heavy bipod). They also can't take ANY attachment. Don't let these "horrible" stats deceive you : their suppression power is outstanding, and you can (and will) kill even out of sight range. If you don't use HAM and its suppression, forget about them !!!

* Attachments :
- Removed Rod and Spring and Barrel Extender for all guns.
- Only scope 2x, PSO-7 Combo (scope 2x + Kobra) and PSO-1 allowed on SKS and AR.
- Reflex Sight only for pistols/SMGs. For quick AR, use a scope 2x + Kobra, or a PSO-7 Combo.
- Folding stock : removed the -1 Hit penalty and the AP reduction bonus. It just reduces weapon size now.
- Scopes : less powerful.
PSO-1 : AimBonus 11 10 Day/BrightVisionRangeBonus 40 20 NightVision 20 10
PSO-2 : AimBonus 17 15 Day/BrightVisionRangeBonus 70 40 NightVision 35 20 (ex PSO-3)
PSO-3 : AimBonus 17 Day/BrightVisionRangeBonus 70 60 NightVision 35 30 (ex Sniper Scope)
- A lot of other changes, too numerous to list. Examples : removed the GP-30 for the AKMSU, Foregrip for the Saiga 12K/Pecheneg, added scope 2x for lot of AR.

* Armour :
- Removed Twaron, Zylon, SWAT, EOD armour.
- Reduced the weight and AP penalties for most armours.
- Increased Dyneema Helmet coverage : 70%-->80%.

* Explosives :
- Increased "startradius" values for Tear gas and Smoke grenades.
- Increased duration for Tear gas, Mustard gas and Smoke grenades/shells.

*LBE
- More carrying capacity for backpacks. Examples :
ARUC : added 2 AR mags, MALICE3 : added a General Large slot.
- Improved some vests. Examples :
TT Assault Vest : removed 1 AR mag, added 1 grenade, 1 Medium general pocket.
LRAK Vest : removed the 2 canteens, added 2 AR Mags, 2 Grenades, +10% camo
- Increased Pockets capacity :
Increased AR mag capacity : 2-->3, Grenade 1-->3 small grenades (Stun, Mini, Mk2) -->2 for Smoke/Tear/Mustard, Rifle Grenade 1-->2.

* AI Items choices :
- Removed Pistol Suppressor, Rod and Spring, GunBarrel Extender, GP-30 GL, Folding Stock, Retractable stock, Trigger Group and AR Suppressor for the AI ; added Grippod.
Since the AI is limited to only two attachments, it helps them a lot. Instead of having useless and ridiculous things like Folding Stocks, GP-30s and
AR Suppressors on their weapons, they will have Lasers/Scopes/Reflex Sights/Kobras much more often.
- Removed Mini and Smoke grenades.
Enemies/Militia using Smoke does not make sense, and I hate when they can throw Minis grenades way farther than even my Expert throwers.

* MercStartingGear :
- Changed a lot of gears.
Example : Fox starts with a Medkit, Blood with 3 throwing knives.
- Gave Charlie 7.62x39 mags. instead of 5.45x39 mags.

* SCI-FI
The following items are tagged Sci-fi : NVG IV, Mustard gas grenades/shells, VOG-25P Jumping grenades, 7.62x25 Cold ammo, Dart gun and Darts.
If you really want to get them without the pukazoids, select Sci-fi for your new game, and turn the Crepitus OFF in the JA2_Options.ini.



---------------------
* Installation
---------------------
- Extract the content of the .7z file in your JA2 root directory, ie where your JA2.exe is.
It will create a new folder here (Data-LTWP), and also a new, empty one in the "Profiles" folder. (User_LTWP)
*** IMPORTANT*** If your zip/7z manager asks you to owerwrite some files, cancel the whole thing ! Something is wrong. (Probably you are not in the JA2 root folder)

1) Backup your JA2.ini file. (inside the JA2 root folder)

2) In this JA2.ini, in the "Define here the correct vfs_config.XYZ.ini for the MOD you would like to play" section, comment your current vfs configuration, and add the following two lines :

; Low tech WP weapons
VFS_CONFIG_INI = vfs_config.LTWP.ini

- Example :
----BEFORE----

Code:
; JA2 1.13
VFS_CONFIG_INI = vfs_config.JA2113.ini
; JA2 Vanilla
; VFS_CONFIG_INI = vfs_config.JA2Vanilla.ini

----AFTER----

Code:
; Low tech WP weapons
VFS_CONFIG_INI = vfs_config.LTWP.ini
; JA2 1.13
; VFS_CONFIG_INI = vfs_config.JA2113.ini
; JA2 Vanilla
; VFS_CONFIG_INI = vfs_config.JA2Vanilla.ini

3) Optional : copy your Data-1.13\JA2_Options.ini file to the Data-LTWP folder.
4) That's it ! You can now start a new game without messing with your current saves.

************************** IMPORTANT !! **********************************************************
** - You MUST select "Normal Guns" and "New Inventory" when you start a new game to use this mod ! **
** - You will have to reset your preferences too, since this mod uses a new vfs profile. **

---------------------------
* Notes
---------------------------

- I didn't change the pictures for the new weapons/attachments. Not a mod for the 'realism police' !

- I didn't used the map editor. You will find the "illegal" but usual items : FA-MAS, Mini-14s, rocket rifles, 7.62x51/5.56x45 ammo...
Same with pre-placed AI soldiers/militia : they will carry Minimis, HK-21s or mini grenades.

- I recommend using : HAM 3.5 or higher, SLOW PROGRESS FOR ENEMY ITEMS CHOICE = TRUE, and not buying weapons from BR.
And tripling the "Activity levels for natural healing" in the JA2_Options.ini.

- This mod is harder than 1.13. Since you can only use PSO-1 scopes with assault rifles, forget about headshots ! Even mercs with 99 MRK will miss a lot torso shots. And forget about high (above 80%) "Hit Pourcentage" too! In three complete campaigns I played, the highest I saw was Buns with her SV-98/PSO-3 at ...49%
