Ok, I finally changed the "bad goggle check" and also the smart goggle swap. Here is how it works now:
If we are below ground:
Check if cavevisionrangebonus is < 0. That's all we need to care for down there, right?
If we are above ground and it is nighttime:
Check if nightvisionrangebonus < 0. This will also make sure that the goggle warning for the SAS mask vanishes because it has a bonus > 0.
If we are above ground and it is daytime:
Check if dayvisionrangebonus < 0 and if dayvisionrangebonus + brightlightvisionrangebonus < 0.
There might be crazy modders who decide to give an item a daylight bonus and a bright light penalty. If the sum of these modifiers goes below zero the item is crap for daytime.
The smart goggle swap will follow these rules. It will also check for the combined bonus of day vision and bright light vision for choosing daylight face gear.
Sounds reasonable? If so, I will submit it to RoWa.
edit:
taotechingSmeagol,
There is a civilian in sector: C6 San Mona (Shop keeper in Smoke's, beside Angels Leather shop) whose lines are wrong.
He states: "Quote 1", "Quote 2", "Quote 3", "Quote 9", "Quote 12", and so on.
Yeah, remind him of this bug so he doesn't forget to fix it.

Yes, from the A_F pack. Index is 1607 and randomly varies its quantity from 1 to 3 in the crate. However I teleported there by cheating and it will take some time to check it legally, too.
Edit: even with legal gaming I found the NADAs there.

Okay, Ive played a lot now and got quiet a few things I found that may or may not be a small bug. I am using AIMNAS V6 no map updates.
Before, I start p.s. don't change D2. It was great trying to take it. It was one of the greater challenges up to now. I would find it a shame if it was made easier, or keep D2 old map available please. I like your ideas for Drassen C14 though.
Or perhaps better, for I doubt you will change it back after all that hard work, would be if two seperate downloads existed one with your maps and one with the WF maps (a major selling point of that mod after all).
Okay, so not all may be a bug - but it all 'bugged' me
I) When I have over 35 wood camo, an officer's uniform, or other body-armor that is supposed to give wood camo do not aid anymore...
II) As said the duckbill did not give the +2 range bonus, and I was told this is supposed to be with polyshot, however I am using 12 gauge shots.
III) I am allowed to see Hans before I remove the lesbian out of the shop using the movie
IV) For some odd reason the AP cost when from aiming 11 and firing 19 to 10 and 20 while adding a rod & spring for the golden steyr gun (sorry forgot the type). It does not state it should do this.
V) The SUSAT scope does not state a magnification. I know you said you don't like making descriptions, but I would kindly ask to at least state the magnification, for now I have no clue. And some of your descriptions are very funny to say the least, like the exacto knife
VI) Should the exacto knife not help disarming electric traps or defuse explosive by the ways. It is a nifty little blade with plastic grip so that does not conduct.
VII) Like taoteching I found a NPC in San Mona C6 saying nothing gut "quote 11", "quote 9" and so on. However, a fellow at the hospital does the same.
VIII) Benelli shot gun I found half-way the game is worse than an itacha 34. Most shotguns are. How come those are available so quick than. It seem their coolness level may be off?
I look at the damage being equal, range of Itacha is 20 instead of 15, itacha fires faster and the 5 ap to reload makes it just as fast, and it aims quicker. Just a thought, though it is indeed a common shotgun.
IX) In the 'mess-hall' in the hospital (in the west-lower end of the hospital building) has a see through wall on its north wall. I could see an enemy passing by and no doors were open (who also face east and not north so that seems off)
X) I know with low leadership you can not get things done, but with 40 I would have assumed you can the miners would work for you in Cumbria mine... isn't it a bit odd that it needs to be higher, or is the low (38% despite liberating all of it) loyalty causing it?
XI) If you rework the maps, I found it odd that in the university in cumbria so many items were still there. Like a holster with a gun in a ruined ruim. I would have rather seen a baseball bat there. (haven't seen that one yet, actually, but saw a screenshot featuring that)
XII) Perhaps some sort of function to not get those goons of Kingpin always the drop on you. I see them walking up to me and before I can take aim, he walks so fast my merc misses and he hits me full frontal. Even if I have reasonably high level (7) I don't get an interrupt.
XIII) Scope's markmanship has been lowered to 91, this was 99... That may be a bit too high vs. Lynx, but 91 that is mean. and her text is also off, as she was a MERC in JA: Deadly Games. Perhaps stating that she left AIM because of an argument with Carp (now PR manager) would make it less annoying for her to be at MERC.
XIV) Already mentioned it once, but I would suggest it would be cool if the fire of the molotov cocktail would give off light so it shows enemies at night who stand close (2 tiles or so, nothing dramatic like a break light) to it or in it.
I hope a good portion of this was useful.

Get V7 and the complete updates...

problem with D2 was, that the AI stood no chance when counter attacking. A slight change in map layout (read as getting rid of the moat) was necessary.
Quote:Or perhaps better, for I doubt you will change it back after all that hard work, would be if two seperate downloads existed one with your maps and one with the WF maps (a major selling point of that mod after all).
Keep a backup of the map and the radar map then.
Quote:

LBE items and vests with woodland camo overwrite eachother, with LBE items having prority there. Funny enough, this only counts for woodland camo... guess this was intended by the guys who made NIV.
Quote:II) As said the duckbill did not give the +2 range bonus, and I was told this is supposed to be with polyshot, however I am using 12 gauge shots.
uhm... I think the duckbill affects the range of buckshot... not sure about that...
Quote:III) I am allowed to see Hans before I remove the lesbian out of the shop using the movie
Yeah, Hans is the owner of the porn shop... why shouldn't he be there? He even has a dialogue where he complains about Brenda...
Quote:IV) For some odd reason the AP cost when from aiming 11 and firing 19 to 10 and 20 while adding a rod & spring for the golden steyr gun (sorry forgot the type). It does not state it should do this.
Probably because the rod&spring was not in 100% condition... that sometimes causes AP cost values to change...
Quote:V) The SUSAT scope does not state a magnification. I know you said you don't like making descriptions, but I would kindly ask to at least state the magnification, for now I have no clue.
Get V7.
{quote]And some of your descriptions are very funny to say the least, like the exacto knife[/quote]
Not my fault... didn't change that text...
Quote:VI) Should the exacto knife not help disarming electric traps or defuse explosive by the ways. It is a nifty little blade with plastic grip so that does not conduct.
Not possible atm.
Quote:VII) Like taoteching I found a NPC in San Mona C6 saying nothing gut "quote 11", "quote 9" and so on. However, a fellow at the hospital does the same.
Haven't looked into those civilians yet... might do so later on... also need to redefine factions and the like...
Quote:VIII) Benelli shot gun I found half-way the game is worse than an itacha 34. Most shotguns are. How come those are available so quick than. It seem their coolness level may be off?
Itacha has the disadvantage of not being able to take a stock, and thus getting a to hit penalty.

Especially Oswald is a pain in the ass in that regard... I know... that guy is supposed to be picky... think Imps might have a good chance convincing him... otherwise try someone like Thor...

Military uses the abandoned school as barracks...

Easy solution: don't steal from kingpin in the beginning of the game. Especially not when NPCs get extra bonus through the ini setting... those hitmen are all lvl 8+

Not much of an EDT file modder... my edt tool is somehow screwed up. The values she has are the ones from the retail version...

Not doable, sorry.

Will it mess up my current game? I noticed for instance when changing something to mercprofiles.xml you have to start anew to see it - I really don't want to restart right now...
P.s. Do you also keep the sometimes different map options? (Like I noticed with a restarted once that the southern most part of Omerta has two different maps)

They never have for they come in to small teams, like 12 vs. 32 that just won't work. Personally, I love the moat, so guess I will keep that one map than.

Supposed to but my gun doesn't state difference, only when I load the red-blue ammo (sorry for missing the name here) I see a change

Sorry, my bad. I meant Tony. I can see Tony before I remove Brenda from the shop.

huh?
In the hospital there is a room you can look into through the windows. It is on the left side of the screen and the south wall of this wing. It is filled with tables and has a kitchen attached to it. So I name it a mess hall. For some odd reason I could see through the mess hall, to the hallway behind it to see an enemy running, however, I only noticed this enemy and nothing more... As if the wall was a cracked wall like you have in Omerta.

It was my one of my two IMPs but yeah she only has 20, but is not Oswald it is Carl.. and normally he is downright easy, but not even Carlos (the rebel) with 40 gets him convinced. He only says of how tourists used to come, or how he pretends the queen to get shot...

Sorry, but I have to contradict that last statement. It was never so in my retail version and update to 1.07. Here is another source for her stats, which also gives Dimitri's right Wisdom value (56 and not 67) or Carlos his poor markmanship (67 instead of 78). Some of the stats seems just to be altered by WF I gather.
smeagolQuote:blabla...molotov... blabla
Not doable, sorry.
Too bad
Will wait for the reply on the first question before I update, than I will continue to report oddities (if you like it that is and are not getting annoyed with me)

Item updates won't mess up your game. Maps maybe... to be sure, only update maps you haven't yet visited.
Quote:P.s. Do you also keep the sometimes different map options? (Like I noticed with a restarted once that the southern most part of Omerta has two different maps)
sort of... some maps yes, some others not so much. what I did for some maps is change enemy placement. So you get the same map, but with different patrol routes/campers.
Quote:Sorry, my bad. I meant Tony. I can see Tony before I remove Brenda from the shop.
Hans should only move once Brenda is gone. The only way to get to Tony is to blast the wall. and that is a viable option imo...

Never had problems with Carl...

Expert? bah... try insane... the ini settings for insane are actually playable and more an extra hard and not unplayable like the 1.13 settings that are totally through the roof...

yeah, those are the JA2 gold settings and not the WF settings...

Euhm, I think you misunderstood one question. I meant to ask if Omerta south still has its two maps with different buildings (and perhaps other places as well (after all first play through with WF)), not if you changed enemy placement (or hacked into the trees and grass of Arulco)
Okay, so it only aids buckshot... my mistake than, I had hoped it would do so for more rounds.
I didn't blast the wall to get to Tony, so that seems to be a mistake. I was simply 'friendly' with my first IMP with leadership 63 (or 65 can't remember) and I was allowed to see Tony... So, it seems that that is a bug.
As I also never had troubles with Carl I was wondering what was going on... I hope when I get there with a merc with high leadership (I had thought 40 to be enough) he'll turn around, but seeing I can now only play at night of course (work during the day) it will probably take two/three nights to get there.
I used expert to get a bit used to all the new items, maps and yeah it is still rather easy. So I'll go Insane the next time around.
Hm, I would rather have kept Dimitri lower on Wisdom. He sounds more like a 53, after all he can hardly produce a proper sentence. It feels odd a bit now, along with Scope being down to 91 and her odd Bio. ... Makes me start wanting to mod this game as well... I am still wondering if AIM-NAS makes it impossible for the crepitus to show why it is impossible to use gabby, rat and bobby's profiles to bring back mercs, or to standardize (not sure if that is possible) the assassins of Kingpin to use two (seeing there is one female) statistics with alternating voice and picture. In that case you free up 4 slots, and according to the link I gave you slot #163 till #169 were unused in JA2 gold. What are they filled up with as the WF mercs replace the others and #169 seems an odd number to me, can that not be increased? Anyone any ideas on all that?

Apparently I can not get my point across.
I know the normal sequence. Talk to Hans, he complains, find VHS, give VHS to Brenda, Brenda leaves, than you're allowed to see Tony.
Perhaps you can also blow up a wall or shoot her (I am not sure of the later, I thought Hans went hostile if you did that or the Kingpin guys anyhow...), but that is not my point:
What I report Is the fact I talk to 1st time to Hans and I get to see Tony, while Brenda is still present (!) - Thus there is no need for the VHS and this seems to be a bug.
I am not asking how you get to see Tony (p.s. thanks for trying to help, but this is not what I am after ), I am reporting the fact that this quest can now be skipped, which is a bug, outside of skipping it by blowing random walls up or shooting like an idiot people you just met.
