There's part of fence behind the blind wall from the shop in Cambria (G9)
The fence serves no purpose its just really annoying trying to climb on roof of the building, mercs keep going over the fence instead of climbing the roof.

There are some minor issues with starting gear, I had some Mercs as well missing some items. I think this is not a game breaker, but it is messy. Could be Rev 5718 maybe Rev 5720 runs better but everything above rev 5720 doesn't work with AR. I guess we have to life with that.


What does that mean? I tried to launch the last SVN version with AR and it worked.
Does it means that it is not working as intended? Just do not want to waste my time and realize that game is broken.

Congratulations for the excellent map works(sais Azazel).
Finished the mod in latest version, novice, many problems encountered that have to do with 1.13.4870 not with your work...
Manuel in D14 is unfinished work. The fights in San Mona are bugged, Darren sais we forfeit the match. Chitzena has no enemies to fight with (was that intended?). Bugged dying enemies on roofs, not falling. Miguel and Carlos won't join after 5 towns, old or new. Some crashes related to using explosive charges on doors or using HE rockets with the rocket rifle too. There might have been a problem with my installation, as i uninstalled 2/1 Metavira, then installed 1.13 and the 1.4 version of the mod.
Thanks for giving me a reason to replay.

AZ75- I'd recommend a reinstall, Some of those are 'generic' bugs but it sounds like your getting way more of them than you should.

Parkan i'm not an expert but from my experience Item mods like AFS do not work with MAP mods because the item #s placed on the map are not correct any longer.
it also means even if it loads since many of the items have not been added into the maps all the non-bbyrays stuff tends to be unavailable.

Awesome mod!! I found a bug in the attachment of the guns specifically the Russian guns. I cannot attach the Kobra reflex sight on any of my favorite AK-series assault rifle. I think the problem also goes for the same with Russian submachine guns and other weapons. The new aiming option does not reflect the old one. While using the the new aiming option, Leech cannot hit the side of barn with Kar 98, despite having best attachments, plus he's few feet away from an unsuspected enemy. It's as he's suffering from fatigued eyes. I'm trying to get Kobra reflex sight fix, but I cannot find files such as Items.xml or Wespons.xml in Data-AR folder.

but I cannot find files such as Items.xml or Wespons.xml in Data-AR folder.

That's because AR uses stock 1.13 items. So they are rather in data-1.13 folder ...

I looked into Attachments.xml file under Data-1.13/TableData folder and checked 998 which is Kobra reflex sight tag in Items.xml. I matched the tag to attachmentIndex>998 which correspond to number tags that matches to the Soviet Bloc weapons. Everything appears to be normal. What am I missing?

Hello

1. As reply to:
Vince7403
You *can* play AR on new revisions, but it takes some work. You'll have to reorganize the XMLs according to the instructions here: http://www.bears-pit.com/board/ubbthreads.php/topics/313737/New_feature_Class_specific_gun.html#Post313737

Then, use the enemy/militia item choice XMLs from 1.13 gamedir 1591 or newer and place them in the Inventory folder.

I haven't seen any need to place xml files into different folders, it seems that all the files that come with AR are already correctly named and placed for the current latest unstable gamedir.

However, you do have to change MercProfiles.xml - copy 1.13 part of the file over AR file from uiIndex 244 to 251 inclusive (that's new DG mercs, without it you will have blank mercs in AIM with no name and no stats)

2. Tropical, Road @ C2 has a bug - left light is misplaced (at least in my playthrough the left gate to the encampment is not lit, but there is light in the forest to the northwest of it)

Hmm, never have problem with those. If you loot San Mona you get plenty (four or more of big kits and several small). Especially in version 1.4 they placed extra medkits because they were pretty rare before (but still after you get your first bunch, you never run out).

First off, great mod! JA2 is one of the only games I can run on my POS laptop but this mod along with 1.13 makes it more than bearable! I'm running the latest version of AR and SCI_Unstable_Revision_5718_on_GameDir_1572. I've just cleared Tixa but after saving and reloading my game, I can't move my mercs without the game shutting down abruptly without any error message. Does anyone have any clue if this is from an unstable version combined with AR or if it's a bug in JA2?

If this is completely unfixable, what would you guys prefer to play, latest AR with stable 1.13 or latest unstable 1.13? Some of those features are so tasty after playing stable 1.13 for so long.

Bugs or inconviniences:

1) To west of Estoni there is a warehouse with loot. It containts "ammo belt" which is an item that looks like a shotgun clip, and contains ridiculous amount of ammunition (like, hundreds of thousands of rounds). It is worth $ 640 000!
2) There are still houses that have problems with placement of doors and containers. For example, in Cambria there is a house where after you open a door you cannot get out of the room because it blocks the only way out.

If you decide to play with the latest stable version, keep in mind that it isn't fully compatible with the Deadly Games mercs addon, which is stated otherwise in the AR documentation. There is a game stopping crash which happens when you receive a buggy email from MERC.

I am playing latest unstable now and I have zero problems. Sure, crashes happen (so far, I'd estimate about 1 crash per 5 hours of play) but none of them are unavoidable (gamestopping).

Recently found the Arulco Revisted mod and am very interested in checking it out. Quickly ran through the sectors of Omerta and am liking the new scenery. Thanks for all the time and effort put into the mod.

Was just wondering ... the Arulco Revisited PDF suggests not using more than 75,000 starting money. The Arulco Revisited Guide also suggested hiring a team that will get you by for two weeks without steady income. When I started an Experienced game, I started with the normal 35,000. I'm wondering what would be considered "balanced". Is it recommended to start with more than that; ie., $70,000-$75,000 for a "balanced" game. I realize the recommendation is "hard" but most other mods are enough of a challenge for me to play "experienced" so I wanted to at least start with that.

Thanks for any help/suggestions.

It's probably best to pick what works for you. Personally, I ignore suggestions such as those and give myself heaps of starting money. Some people might think that wrecks the experience, but I prefer to play around with the better mercenaries simply because I find them to be the most interesting, personality-wise. Besides, I've already played through with some of the less experienced mercenaries such as Biff and Reuban, so I think I deserve it.

If you do it right, you don't really have shortage of money in the game, no matter what you start with. Going to San Mona you already get ~$30000 for quest, fighting and selling loot to Tony. Then you can hire Kaboom for ~4000/14 days and he will earn you $5000/day there.

If you make effort to loot enemies, especially elites (very much possbile at night if you have patience) then you will have lots of loot to sell to Tony or with Alt+LMB (those leftover armors and facegear do stack up to a nice amount).

Don't train militia in Omerta from the start, so that you don't pay for that - you don't really need militia there anyway but if you want you can always do it later when you have at least two cities's incomes to support that.

Try to attack small patrols (6 people preferably) at night - you can loot every single one of them for big cash in at Tony.

You can do extreme fighting every day. Just leave Kaboom on the ring so he doesn't have to undergo a LDR check to enter the building.

Can Kaboom actually win the fights? He has 'hand to hand' but his strength is only 87. I would have thought he'd take quite a beating. Why not use Griz, Bull or someone with Martial Arts?

Ohh its just one fight a day? Not three like the Kingpin initiation quest?

Or open your own entrance ... :bomb:

Yes, right, it's just 1 fight per night after the kingpin quest.
And Bull and the others you mentioned are IIRC more expensive than 4000/2week, so kaboom would the most cost efficient boxer ...

I believe they aggro on you if you "open your own entrance". And I don't know how to have more than 1 fight per day (I thought it's possible via delaying the third victory but it doesn't seem so). Strength is 87 but other stats are great too (like Agi, Dex) and he's insanely cheap.

Pls. elaborate a bit which version of what exactly you are using ...
In recommended setup (AR on 4870 stable) you need a barrel kit to transform a gun. Just use this like any other merge.

You are right! Sorry for not mentioning that!

I installed the game,
then the
"Deadly Games Mercs with all speech for 1.13" version 3,
and last the
"Arulco Revisited on Revision5702".

The game features degradation of weapons, among other things, and merchants sell replaceable barrels.
I can't seem to find how to change them from the weapon though.

Also I can't mount Kobra reflex sights on AK weapons... :'(

If I remember correctly he was west-west-south of drassen.

In AR bobby ray will be available later in the game, if I remember correctly this does not include skyrider, so he should be in the game.
