I can tell you that at least during my playthrough of version 2.8 (so I guess until the NCTH preview release) there were some hardcoded sector names, including the 2 airports (Drassen and Meduna), Orta, Tixa and I think a few more.

Use this only if you know what you are doing, ie. you understand why Tais labels the release Unstable.

Yo wil, AIM guys start with weapons instead of UC gear (air travel approved).

Edit 2: Razor has Marksman instead of Sniper, was that intentional? Or do I have the wrong XML?

Dieter, you are looking at the wrong XML, sort of, look inside the Old/New Maps sub-Data folders.

Yo wil, not sure if this was always the case, in A10, when you have a merc close to the top / northern edge of the sector, and you scroll a little north, the visible screen repositions a little south of where your curser just was, it "hops" or "snaps" a little lower, and this is totally repeatable, I just did it over 30 times using cursor keys and mouse pointer, staring at the effect with fascination.

Edit: Link to save game is here, I use MAX_NUMBER_PLAYER_MERCS = 32 in case this is useful.

Edit 2: A Skorpion vz.61 fits into a revolver holster pocket, not sure if this was intentional, in the past only small pistols, like a PM, fit into a revolver pocket, the vz.61 is more of a machine pistols, has even a folding stock, should be a little too bulky for a revolver holster.

This one looks like an .exe issue. Which of the three supported exe's are you using?

When opening a container with items that have ownership, I get the "there is nothing here" and the "I found something" voice dialog, in that order. I have not checked with containers which don't have ownership items.

Edit 4: I can't remove a muzzle break during combat, I have full APs, it says I don't have enough APs. Alternatively make the muzzle break water proof, so that I can swim with it.

Edit 5: The KAZAK-5 Russian Class II Vest (white) is still so small that I can put two into a large side pack pocket, all other vests are much larger, I need to carry them in my hands.

Also may be attached to Nail's Leather Biker Jacket for extra protection.

Edit 3: When I have a RIS Bipod and a RIS Foregrip attached I can take a Grip Pod hover over the RIS Foregrip and left click which will successfully attach the Grip Pod to the gun even though it already has a RIS Bipod attached. I also tested with an empty slot which works correctly, meaning you cannot attach the Grip Pod to a gun which already has a RIS Bipod attached.

Checked, and the Grip Pod does have the RIS Bipod and RIS Foregrip in its incompatibility list. Likewise, the RIS Bipod and RIS Foregrip have the Grip Pod correctly set in their incompatibility lists. I haven't had time to check in-game though.

Updated the Micro-Uzi to also have 30 round magazine capacity.
