I got my JA2 [Download] from Amazon. Yeah, am a pervert but it was only $2.50 and no tax with instant delivery, so..
The game happened to be 1.12 and worked fine but when I installed 1.13 mod and tried to play JA2 1.13 vanilla I got a bunch of issues:
- first and most noticeable is ammo mismatch. I can't load .38 AP into 38 special but they gladly go into 9mm guns. regular ball .38 works as expected. Shotguns cannot use buckshot but they are happy to use .357 magazines. HP magazines become AP when loaded and ball ammo becomes HP. I looked into xml files and they seems to be fine.
- second: I cannot train militia in Drassen even though the loyalty is already 80%.
- third - dropped items and dead bodies may disappear after save/load. I found SKS, kevlar vest and colt commando on the very first night. I picked up SKS, saved, then picked up other stuff and got my squad wiped out next day and went back to this save.. Dead bodies and stuff on the ground disappeared without a trace .
Do the symptoms look like there is an easy fix for it? I'd love to have high resolution and improved AI of the 1.13

Thank you Dieter!
I've tried to uninstall/delete the folder and install it all over again - with the same result.
I got the mod from here (mirror 1 English) http://ja2v113.pbworks.com/w/page/4218334/Downloads
and JA 2 from the location you linked - Amazon had a sale in December.
It seems like the game does not use XML files at all cause in the files all ammo of the same caliber has the caliber ID. I don't know if there is any other executable to run to finalize the installation - it only unzipped the files into my Jagged Alliance 2 folder.

ok, some good news: from vfs.txt in my \Profiles\UserProfile_JA2Vanilla directory
[3.08124] : file "TableData\SpreadPatterns.xml" does not exist
[73.7964] : file "SPEECH\037_108.gap" does not exist
[332.346] : file "TableData\Map\A9_0_ExtraItems_Experienced.xml" does not exist
[332.381] : file "TableData\Map\A9_0_ExtraItems" does not exist
[360.662] : file "SPEECH\037_000.gap" does not exist
[579.728] : file "SPEECH\051_000.gap" does not exist
[625.345] : file "SPEECH\051_027.gap" does not exist
OK, probably not so good

I'll try that. I wish vanilla JA2 with new AI, graphics and Drassen attack would work though - 1.13 has quite a learning curve to it.

Not that much really, especially since most options are optional. Should you have any options that you really can't work with (like the new cursor, go to options, second page, and remove the check from "Use NCTH"), do ask here and we'll tell you how to disable it.
