And I'm also looking for a pic for an aiming module//headgear subsystem (something similiar to the one tested in the Future Warrior program...

Scheinworld provided three pics for me, which are needed to make a Flarebomb (basically a variant of the Molotov Cocktail, using an Emergency Flare instead of a rag. It has decreased duration, but increased area of effect and needs duct tape either attached to an alcohol-oil mix or the flare).

Huh?

Can you provide some kind of screen shot and//or additional information?

Well, I playd this for a while and had some Ideas.

These are suggestions I would like to make.
1. Small changes
- The Black Wool Cap could provide a little stealth Bonus
- Forgrips may give a small Bonus on ready time
- The SAW Harness has Pockets for rifle Magazines, but why should my Machinegunner need rifle magazines? I suggest to change the AR-Rifle pockets to something more useful and prehaps change the utility pocket to a second Ammo Belt Pocket. This Way the difference between the SAW Harness and the LBE-Gear-SAW would be more significant.

2. Armor
- The Recon Armor (these you get with the reacon kits) should imho have less penaltys than the unpatched (e.g. a kevlar vest has a negative to hit penalty the recon kevlar vest should have no etc.)
The recon armor is supposed to be more comfortable than unmodified Armor.
Well, I would like to see the possibility to have Armor that has no or very little negative penalties for the cost of less protection.

- Somethin should be made withe the ghilie suit, in the moment these stuff is quite useless.
1. Helcamo MK.3 has nearly the same camonflage bonus as the ghilie hat but no penalty.
2. There is no reason NOT to wear ghuile pants

My suggestion is to make the the ghilie suite an armor instead of an attachment, which has no penalties but offers no significant protection.
A complete Ghilie suit should provide 100%woodland camonflage and prehaps also 100% desert camonflage, I am going to test this in game.

3. New Stuff
- I suggest a face mask like the one this guy wears

Something like advanced sunglasses

- Did you think of a special LBE Pocket for Gas Masks? Don't know if this makes sense.

Well, thats what I came up with at the moment, now I stop talking and go back playing your mod.

I'll do so tonight ,cannot believe that you guys in general haven't seen these , really , they are so cool !

Has anyone suggested an iPod - same as a walkman, but fits in a tiny pocket. Could be plugged into (merged with) an extended ear.

Mustard gas boobytraps could be useful too

Edit:
Wohooo... repairing armour with C-20 works perfectly. Nice, nice, nice.

Now all I need is a decent price for it. I think 2500$ for one can should be enough (and I'll lower C-18's price to 1.5k I think).

Sticking Duct Tape on the Corsak-Laser merges it to a modified Laser/Kobra-Combo instead of a modified Corsak-Laser.

great news smeagol! i wanted an armor repair compound for years now! this is another step in the direction to more realistic armor simulation. will you make all armors repairable with C-20 or only the treated ones? and will you probably make all armors ONLY repairable through C-20? because that

Yeah, the Ghillie suit is pretty much useless at the moment. Maybe I should add a stealth bonus instead of the desert camo bonus (and then make a desert ghillie... but there are only very few desert maps at the moment, so I doubt the usefullness of such a thing).

I don't think that making the Ghillie suit an armour would be such a good idea.

The reason NOT to wear Ghillie pants is heavy weight.

I don't think that a special gasmask pocket is needed that badly

Added draw cost bonus to foregrips (10 for regular foregrip, 5 for griplight and grippod), but also a penalty for shooting prone (only -2 and only on the regular foregrip/grip light)
Also added a small draw cost penalty to the heavy laser sights (Rifle LAM, Rifle LAM&Flashlight, Corsak and the appropriate aiming modules). I might do the same with scopes, so if you overload your gun with attachments, draw cost penalties could add up to actually matter (the modifications for the LAMs are only -5 at the moment, I don't think that this will have a significant effect...).

Added Stealth bonus to the ghillie suit. If you wear a complete ghillie suit, you'll now get +90 woodland camo and +90 stealth. Increased the weight of the ghillie a little bit.

Changed pockets of the SAW harness. This one now has two ammo belt pockets, no more rifle mag pockets. And replaced two grenade pockets with pockets for large grenades.

Ah, and one last thing I noticed
As i played around with a too man Sniper Spotter team I noticed that my sniper (Scope) with a long range sniper rifle with Sniper scope and Ballistic Computer has far far far more spotting range than my Spotter (Sidney) with the Spotting scope. As the Spotting scope is a quite special object (needs a big Pocket, so you wont give everybody on) I would suggest enlarge it`s spotting range to the same ore a bit more than a fully fitted sniper rifle. Otherwise it is quite pointless to have a spotter and not just a second Sniper.

Thank you Smeagol, I really appreciate the redesigned maps, they show the attention you pay to the details that make a huge diference.
But I have a problem with the weapons, how am I supposed to reload a gun that demands 30+ action points ?
My exe is "JA2_with_EDB_2088.exe" and I have 25 AP's maximum.

Now that I think about it, what might help, is making an additional attachment for the spotting scope.

Smeagol, don't be too fast with those armor thingies.

Wouldn't it be easier (in creating for you) and more clearly laid out for the player in the following way:
- C18 is refillable (like bottles) and is required for making and repairing C18-armor pieces.
- same with C-20.
- regular armor pieces can be repaired by merging them with an 'armor repair kit'.

This armor repair kit would then be a new item to be created (by you ). This kit would represent a sewing kit complemented with several patches of kevlar etc.
This kit must be refillable like med-kits (it IMHO might even look similar) and repairing regular armor means merging armor with the kit resulting in the same armor being in better shape.

What do you think?

By the way what is your intention to give the G-suit only 90% camo bonus? IMHO someonein a G-suit is perfectly camouflaged withaout the need of other equipment. Note that most stuff like LBE gear etc. would probably be UNDER the Ghuili suit.

I suspected that and edited manually the xml, that means I wont take anymore items updates, only the maps.
I am happy with my exe.

In fact, as it works out, you can use C-18 just the same as a "first-aid kit" for armours as it is now, that is, you won't need a complete bottle of C-18 to repair a damaged armour, but instead use up only as much as is needed. I think that's pretty neat (and besides, I've already spent the whole morning to make these changes ).

But in the game it's the other way round: LBE vest is worn over armor vest. Period.
Thus any camo value of any armor vest is void because its strictly overruled by each and every LBE vest.
Therefore the G-suit is an attachment to the armor because attachment's camo value is added to LBE vest's in the game.
(This is however until the camo system might be reworked in code in the future ... :type: )

I'll comment on the other things later on, but let me cover this right now (I have to watch my food cooking simultanuosly, thus only time for a short answer ^^):

I would, if I could. There is a cap on sight range that can be set with the XML editor. The spotting scope already uses maximum values, if I remember correctly (set to 100 for general sight range bonus and daylight).

The heavy sniper rifles can use two attachments with sight range bonus (sniper scope and ballistic computer), thus effectively doubling up the sight range bonus.

Now that I think about it, what might help, is making an additional attachment for the spotting scope.

A good point. But maybe this can worked around using Waldtrolls suggestions of the "camo patches". That might be an intersting options to look into.
