Ladies and Gentlemen, I hereby present New Starting Gear Interface (NSGI) on request of a modder
The code is based upon the beta MP source, so NAS is integrated.
Credits for helping: Warmsteel, Headrock and smeagol
Features:
- New 21 item Merc starting gear view, instead of just 8 items.
- Up to 5 different Gearkit's definable per Merc, these can be selected when hiring an AIM merc
- Extra: my upgraded code for Merc's on assignment, no more Merc's on other assignments if you don't want them to (ini is set to default)
- OIV will just have the 21 item interface without the kit selection
- *NEW* Externalized the option to enable/disable NSGI
- New hotkey for in strategic view, Shift+W, makes merc drop ALL ITEMS
Planned Features:
- Random Kit selection for MERC mercs, this will make the system randomly select one of the up to five definable gearkits
Installation:
- Clean JA2 Install, add 1.13 files around Rev 1227
- Overwrite with Beta GameDir files
- Extract data from NSGI file to the JA2 dir (the new MercStartingGear.xml will only work with the NSGI exe so backup the old one if you want to revert)
Screenshots
Barry with all five definable kits, just chose some starting kits from other mercs
Nails with just one kit defined to show default behaviour
[color:#FF0000]*WARNING NSGI ONLY WORKS WITH BETA INSTALLS*[/color]
Updated Beta 0.4 can be downloaded from here http://www.mediafire.com/tais113stuff
*Also added a SCI 7z file based on the beta SVN + NAS + NSGI 0.3, just drop this over a default ja2 install and go*
Version history
- 0.1 Initial version
- 0.2 Moved kit selection buttons underneath the weaponbox, fixed detection of OIV so kit selection is disabled
- 0.3 Added modified xml for ini editor to recognize different way of setting assignment options
- 0.3.1 Replaced zipped default xml with correct version
- 0.4 Added externalization to enable/disable NSGI, also added new hotkey for Strategic View, Shift+W will unload ALL ITEMS on a merc compared to Shift+E
Please report any bugs or problems here!

RoWa21Definitly, thats not the latest version. Yes, that's correct. The last version of the XML-editor I used was that of the version prior to the latest release.
