Is it possible to implement it into the combo mod loader and mod bundle. The ones that use batch files. Thanks for answereing my question so fast!
1, just rename the extracted folder to Data-AIM and replace the one from the combo mod loader. 2, why are you still using the batch files when the ini editor can select between vfs config files?

Queen spit looking like a flamethrower.. meaning, in game, she would spit flames? That'd be cool..

Changing stats, is it not enough to replace the items.xml definition with the one from original wildfire. Perhaps I should change weapons.xml too?

Please, anyone, point me somewhere where can I find out what tilecache is too..

----------------

While trying to make some of the merged items, I have a problem. I have a level 5 merc with 99 mec and 91 dexterity trying to merge reflex sight and battlescope.. and he can't cut it. Is level 10 and 100 mec required, or is that a bug?

You want someone with Electronics skill for doing weapon attachment merges.


Tilecache is a folder in the Data folder in your JA2 directory. It basically contains animations. The flamethrower animation overwrites the Queen Spit, thus the queen will have the flame animation, even if you change the item.

If you change the whole items.xml, you'd replace all items with the old ones, and that wouldn't make too much sense...

Ok.. thanks. For future reference, is there a FAQ somewhere.

I'm fine with the queen spit as flame issue.

This may sound a tad arrogant*.. in another thread I mentioned how I found the weapon stats inaccurate. Apart from that, I really love your mod and appreciate the work that has gone into it.
It's just that I follow the US gun culture scene a bit, and am what people call pedant or perfectionist.., and have read a lot about guns and ammo(it's a bad habit I guess).

Would you mind me checking things a bit and correcting the stats for your mod? Ideal would be if we could devise a formula converting between MOA and in-game accuracy stat. The best accuracy is 0.1 moa ~ 100 yards (translates to 1/10 inch). Military sniper rifles range around 1/4 to 1, rifles maybe 1.5-3. AK's are 3 at best, while for AR rifles it's 0.5-2. Western AK-style rifles are much better though, almost as good as AR's apparently.

Mostly they seem ok, but I believe some are way off the mark. For example, AK reliability is not much higher than for sa.vz.58. Back in 1960's when they did test them for the Czechoslovak People's Army, after firing tens of thousands of rounds, no cleaning, the AK was fine, but the vz.58 broke one part, I think it was striker. It's a lighter weapon. Didn't jam otherwise, but the reliability in game is 0, If I am not mistaken.

Bobby Rays asking 2000$ for a Mosin is sort of outrageous, as one could get a cleaned up, refurbished one for less than 700$.. and stuff like that. Untouched milsurp goes for 200$ a gun.

The 5.7mm ammo is not that effective. I've read that on tests, it was about equal to the .22WMR cartridge, and did not fragment or tumble much. So, making it just a little less damaging than a cartridge with speed 30% higher(~translates to 70% more E-kinetic) isn't really fair. It is mighty handy, but it's a pistol, not a rifle cartridge..
Only F&N's PR department would have you believe that... same goes for the 4.6mm. Both are basically nothing more .22 magnum ammunition with some fancy AP bullets. But H&K gets great press from CS players. (and reputedly hates the gun-buying civilians, refusing to sell them most their kit and thumbing their noses at complaints see: http://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/2007/10/09/hk-because-you-suck-and-we-hate-you/)

I would do this for myself, but I'd be much more inclined to do it right and thoroughly if I knew it'd be used by others..

BTW, how far on your to-do list is including .22 caliber guns ? They're not usually used by the military, but they can be pretty silent**, they're inexpensive, and ammo is especially cheap. Some, like the 1200 rpm American-180 might be pretty deadly. (basically a .22LR machinegun.. actually digs through body with multiple hits to the same spot..). If it's just making STI files and stats..and far down your to do list.. I may find a time to put in the basics. My photoshop skills are mainly around editing photos and enlarging ladies' assets in them, but I know my way around the editor. Can't draw shit though.

*for some reason, everytime I open my trap online, it comes out as arrogant or just supercilious. I'm polite in real life though.

**favorite of sneak assasins. You can shoot someone as he's answering the door and neighbours won't hear. Three .22 rounds to the head drop anyone.

I've noticed how most guns will take an AN/PEQ-2 and a 7x scope combo/4xACOG combo separately, but not an aiming module consisting of the two. What's up with that?

Well, the reasoning behind that, is that the Aim III-X originally containing the Rifle-LAM&Flashlight combo only went to guns with double rails. I kept this to somehow balance the two Aim III modules. Otherwise there would be no reason to use the Aim III instead of the Aim III-X. The Aim III-X is thus limited to guns with double rails (like HK416/417 series, SCAR, certain M4/M16 variants, etc...).
The real power of guns comes from the attachments these guns can take. And because the Aim III-X is one of the best attachments, I think it is another way to underline the strength of certain guns.

It's not completely thought through, and I might alter some guns. So, feel free to drop suggestions, which guns should be able to take the Aim III-X.

I assume by double rails you mean rails on both the receiver (optics) and forward handguard (laser).

I can certainly agree with that line of reasoning, but in that case there are too many rifles that take the AN/PEQ-2, as they don't have the forward handguard rails. As I understand it, the whole idea with the aiming modules are to save an attachment slot, so if you can mount the components of the aiming module separately, you should be able to mount the corresponding aiming module.

I also noticed the Old Aimpoint as a possible attachment for the Mg3, but it doesn't have the same receiver as the G3 series (however, MP5's do)

In basic 1.13 Rifle-LAMs are able to be attached to guns that have a RIS available, even if that is not shown or described in the gun's pic and/or description. For example, there's a RIS for the G3 rifle, and thus it should be able to mount a Rifle-LAM in basic 1.13. I'd guess that Smeagol extended this behavior to his mod.

The Old Aimpoint Projector is indeed not attachable to the MG3, because it has the H&K clamp-mount. Thus it should only fit guns with the older H&K receiver (G3, G3K, MP5, HK21, HK23).

Hmm interesting... So there are only 3 types of Tactical AKs. I thought that each one had its own tactical variant. Makes things less complicated, since there are already a lot of AKs. Either way, the AKM tactical became my favorite AK Very Happy

Yea that is clear for me, but on the pic is written 9x19 mm ap and not 7,62x25 mm ap and they comme right after the 9x19 mm standard rounds. Only in the discription you can see that they are not 9x19 but 7,62 mm. So I thought it is a bug as I have no 9x19 mm ap boxes in my game.

The donkeys are more or less just a symbolic item to create the small ammo boxes. The price was randomly chosen, I thought anyone can spare those bucks for the convenience of making boxes. Wink

Resumed work on the Item Mod.

First changes so far:
- reduced some gun weights (mostly on some of the heavy MGs, which still had weights that included bipods, so I reduced weights by 5 hg on some of them).

- fixed pocket issue with crossbow bolts (those now also fit medium general and combat pack pockets)

- fixed reliabilty on that czech AK clone

- added 3-rnd bursts on the AEK assault rifle series (according to that russian gun site, the AEk should have a 3 round burst, so it got that... guess this will save an attachment slot, might be quite useful)

- currently adding AEK-973S

Might add some more new stuff as well...

Edit:
added another LBE vest and changed the BW daypack to a backpack that can be combined with combat packs (similiar to the L.R.R.P or the sniper drag bag). There are already quite some combat packs, but the backpack department was a bit lacking in my opinion...

Edit 2:
changed the pistol holsters a little bit (basically re-aranging pockets and changing one or two... nothing too special).

Okay, another try to fix this annoying problem. The error occurs in the farm sectors around San Mona and causes the game to crash when you try to enter the sector for the second time (first entry in those sectors seems to work just fine, only second visits cause problems as far as I can tell).

The part in the source code looks like this:


STR16 pAntiHackerString[] =
{
L"Error. Missing or corrupted file(s). Game will exit now.",
};


I have not the slightest clue, what causes it or what can be done to fix it.


Maybe anyone out there has an idea, what causes the error, or how I can find out what causes the error. It's really annoying, as the sectors in which this happens can't be entered anymore (and at the moment in my current game one fled enemy hides in such a sector on the main road between Chitzena and San Mona *grrrr*).

I'm trying to find a pic of a small calibre mortar. I had the idea to add a mortar for 40mm grenades (yeah, I know, such a thing apparently doesn't exist... but it would be quite useful in game, closing the gap between UGLs and real mortars. And who wouldn't like to shoot 40mm grenades with a mortar :moosegrin:).

My web search discovered a 37mm Soviet Spade Mortar and there's apparently also a small calibre Iranian marsh mortar. So, small calibre mortars are in fact possible. Only thing is, that all the mortar pics I found around the net suck. I tried to convert the 2 inch British commando mortar from WW II, but the pic just looked awful... so if anyone out there has a pic I could use, drop me a line.


Edit:

Okay, I'll use this pic, until someone shows up with a better one. Wink

I have a few things to point out about the foregrips:

I don't think I quite understand the reasoning behind the negative bipod bonus on foregrips - in fact if anything there should be some slight bipod bonus on them, since they can somewhat function as a monopod.

Furthermore, I've noticed in the editor how foregrips give an AP's-to-ready reduction, but weapons with integral foregrips don't have that.

The idea there was, that I imagine a foregrip would be quite unwieldy when lying prone. But again, I never held a gun in my hand in real life, so this is solely based on my desire to balance items.

If this is complete rubbish, I'd fix it, of course...

Those guns with integral foregrips probably don't have the bonus, because I simply forgot to add it. Wink

Anyways, I'll now try to get my hands on one of those 40mm mortars in game to test them and adjust values if necessary. I think I might be able to upload an update either later today or tomorrow...

Don't think this is possible without working on the code.

At least there are no tags in the XML file I know of, that deal with skill progress.


Just added the missing AP draw bonus on guns with integral foregrip (though I didn't add the bipod penalty on those guns).

Thanks for pointing that out. Will have a look at that. Currently waiting for my BR order with 40mm mortars to arrive. After making the tests I'll fix the Reddot-SMR and will then upload the next version (yes, that means that V43 will finally be ready today...).


Edit:
Hmmm.... seems like there is a small problem with the mortar. The order just arrived, although it should have a range of 65 tiles, it shoots grenades only up to 20 tiles. I try to fix this.


Edit 2:
Seems like the range is somehow bound to the grenade type. Mortar shells are type explosive, so my workaround is adding new items for the 40mm mortar. You can now either buy the 40mm shells directly from BR or buy a shell casing that can be used to make 40mm shells out of regular 40mm grenades with a merge (will take some time to implement this, but I think I get it done in the next one or two hours... stay tuned).

Fixed the merges.

Also changed the gun sling pocket on combat packs slightly (including new pic for the silhouette). This pocket now will no longer take guns with size 8 or 9 (large rifles, MGs, anti-material rifles, and such things). If you want to carry such a huge gun, you'll have to use the default gun sling.

I'm also trying to rearange item sizes, so that the 40mm shells will fit into 40mm grenade pockets. But this could cause quite some trouble... (shells are type explosive, whereas grenades obviously are type grenade, and the pockets have restrictions, which item type they will take. But if I remove the restriction, some strange items would fit into grenade pockets... ah well... have to give this some thought. Maybe I'll find a solution that is managable without having to adjust each and every item size).

Also discovered some LBE items that had wrong sizes.


LBE items now have the following sizes:
Thigh packs -----> size 21
vests -----------> size 23
combat packs ----> size 23
backpacks -------> size 26

I usually just have my mechanic carry the items that are necessary for merges. It was a nice addition to be able to store the stuff in a tool box (just like real life). If my mechanic fights in a battle he would just drop the tool box rather than lug it around. All my shit was in one place. Instead of carrying a tube of glue in a vest pocket that could house numerous MORE useful items.

Not a problem, just nice to have.

I always found it rather annoying to store stuff inside other items. same was true for the old field ops armour for example... I always put stuff in there and then forgot about it... thus I simply decided that nothing can be stored inside.
The LBE items are stuffed with extra small and tiny pockets that more than make up for this storage loss, I think.

You are right on the memory loss associated with the field ops armour. I would store brak lights and camo kits in them then totally forget.

The L.B.E. items are more than sufficient for storage. I was just thinking about it when I was getting some electrical tape out of my tool box at home.
