JA2 Night OPs Additions & Tweaks[message #222452]

There is a whole host of changes that come with the Russian Mod, Night Ops, while a few are listed in various "Read Me" files and lists, here is a list of what i have noticed. Feel free to add any changes you come across.

Kingpin's Assassins are concealed as citizens, you could walk right past them without realising!

If a Civilian or Soldier is carrying alcohol they can become drunk.

Equipping different Armour will change the colour of your Merc's shirt.

Armour now has pockets.

For each shot you take, your stamina goes down.

Some weapons rely on strength, if your Merc is not strong enough to handle the gun, he will fall over when he shoots.

By performing "autopsies", you can improve your medical skill.

Stun grenades temporarily blind you.

You can be ambushed in any sector in Night Ops.

To be continued...

Yep, chest and legs can carry 4 unique items (no stacks). Pretty cool stuff.

Armour handles very well the first shots, especially form weak handguns.

On Novice, Tons of Guns, you get a lot of Kevlar/C-18 Leather Vests. Also medpacks and medkits are plentiful.

Weapon damage is one of the best part of this game, really.

The GI Poncho gives cammo and can be equipped even in leg slot. Or inside an armour slot.
I didn't notice any sleevs on mercs, but when you equip cammoed items like the poncho, your appearance dynamically changes to "green camo" look. Very cool.

Yeah, I really like the Poncho idea, i also find the sound effects of the guns excellent, you can nearly feel the shot.

IF your Merc gets hit for 4 or less HP, it's bandaged automatically.

Costs APs to move items from pocket to main hand.

A weapon listed as "Unreliable" will start to Jam at <90% compared to a "Reliable" gun.

The AP "move to hand" cost is quite nasty. Once I had Bull ready to throw a grenade only to find out he's too far. But then AP was gone and I couldn't move him. It really makes you plan what you want to do next cause you can run out of APs fast if you're undecided.

It caught me out a few times too, as you said, it makes you think a bit more, i really like it.

It's something i'd secretly like to see in 1.13, lots of room for extra battle strategy, less AP to draw your gun from a holster rather than a pocket etc...

Always seemed a cheat with no penalty for moving objects from hand to hand etc , I like this feature . I wondered what the heck was going on when mercs were bandaged magically after a hit Very Happy

Very Happy

The poncho is a smart idea also .........

One more tweak i noticed, you can throw grenades from crouched position.

Btw, Defecation tweak can easily win the Oscar for the wierdest ever idea in JA2 modding. I cannot tell you how many times I slipped on the poo. What I didn't understand was how a redshirt can leave behind 10 piles, like one suppresed enemy did in my game.

But if you think about it, collecting poo can be good thinking. Imagine what a defence line you could make with sandbags, mines and slippery poo. Very Happy

It is a lot of fun and not necesarely cause of new maps. What makes is great is how combat was tweaked. Armour is effective, but if play Rambo you will get 2-3 rounds in your chest and spend a couple of turns dreaming, although unarmed. Headshots are critical and over critical. 250 dmg was my max hit. Sniper rifles are good, but night ops... my god.. night ops are what they should've been from day 1.

Btw, no more "wtf i cannot hit a barn and enemy does miracle shots". They addresed the CTH issue by tweaking the weapons. This leads to extreme adrenaline rush battles, where you mercs are hidden behind good cover and enemies rush you position with Stetchkin APS (Russian version of automatic Glock). So much led flies over you head you can start a mine after the battle. You slowly take them down, one by one, until a lucky bugger manages to get close and pump a round into you - poof - unconscious...

Hire Ivan, they're scared shitless of him.

I think the Overheating of guns is brilliant, again, adds a bit of pressure if you use burst too much. Once the gun goes red, you have to wait a turn or two...

Now that sounds like something that would be a cool addition to 1.13. I've always thought that unlimited autofire (even with weapon degradation) was a bit of a cheat. Does it allow for longer sustained autofire use of a heavy gun like a MG as opposed to an AR or SMG?

I think that a big problem of 1.13 - it must be configured at 1-2 hours before playing. Most peoples want fully-configured product. NO is fully-configured and it's a reason of his success.

1.13 is more of a laboratory for research than a mod. Even SMP v1.13 wont be a mod, but a modding platform.

Night Ops is a fully configured product cause it's a full mod. Like JA2UC was or more recently JA2RR or Legion 2.

But in essence you're right. Players dont want hundreds of lines in INI to configure, they want simple setup screens and a fun game. Thats what NO delivers fully.

Talking about animations, one of the coolest is being able to roll from left to right using the "Alt" button. Perfect for rolling in and out of cover.

So anyone found how you use J and what it does in terms of preparing your sniper's optics? It limits your field of view to a scope cone and gives you a bonus or what? If you have a sniper scope and don't press J the game ignores the scope?!

It could have been just a bad translation...

EDIT: This is what it says on the NOPS Russian forum:

Вскидка оружия клавиша 'j'. Нужно для работы оптики и НП.

and a google translation...

Vskidka arms key 'j'. We need to work optics and the NP.

Maybe Whoami can translate it.

As I said in another post , once gun equipped with an item , gun keeps scope / bipod , etc , and wont allow removal of item . Bit of a bummer , makes foraging a battlefield for items to customise your favourite weapon a waste of time.

lockie, that ain't completely true. I was able to remove all attachments from guns/rifles/sniper rifles that came empty.

The only unremovable attachments are the expansion kits, like rails that allow mounting night vision equipment.

Maybe later in the game you find pre-equiped weapons, but i never found a case where I put a scope in and wasnt able to remove it.

I was messing around and tested the "J" button, in the image below Ivan has an SMG in his hand. Even with it cocked he cannot see the Enemy.

http://i657.photobucket.com/albums/uu293/off_topic/G1.jpg

In the next image he has a Sniper Rifle, he can only sight the enemy when he looks "J" through the scope.

Careful though! When looking through the scope of a gun your Merc has tunnel vision, he only sees what he is targeting.

It is pretty cool, it makes sense that you'd only see far away using the scope and not see 180 degrees.

I haven't tried it yet, but this should make indoor battles and CQC more realistic when it comes to sniper rifles.

Yep, I loaded up my savegame with new v8.0 exe and Mac-10 wouldn't accept the .45 acp ammo. Wierd. Maybe it's a bug in the exe, dunno...

Btw, new version seems quite unstable. I've started it with cheats enabled to test a few things and it crashed repeteadly. It crashed in San Mona boxing right, when Kingpin came, it crashed in Chitzena in a normal fight, basically i managed to screw it up everytime i tried to ALT+T.

And didn't kingpin had english text in v.7? Now it's all in russian...

Hmm... I didn't do anything to the exe.

What i added shouldn't affect much, just a few EDT and Speech files that were missing. I'll check Kingpin.

I placed that whole v.08 on my game and it runs fine...

I didn't touch the ttx file in my game, the only other thing i can think of is to make sure you select the first box when installing (above the res size) "JA2 Components". This can lead to problems, especially with items.

It some sort of problems with GABBI. I managed to crash the game (either loadscreen freeze or CTD) almost in 2-3 minutes after i teleported around the map. Why I did this? Heck I wanted to test the "Shit Quantum Slip Theory", that's why. I am so sad now, I didn't get to see the mighty kingpin slip on poo...

Here are my two last save games, but I don't think you'll find anything there (except exceptionally large ammounts of crap all over Arulco).
