Think of it as an alpha release. Stuff doesn't work. Stuff's unfinished! You get what you get.

Thing is, I made a real major change in item ordering. Unfortunately at the time I did that, the xml editor didn't support item swapping for some xml files, most notably the impitemchoices... thus all imps got weird starting stuff and in order to fix this I removed all special gear from traits. I wanted to add new stuff, but after thinking about it a bit, I decided against it.

Look at it from this angle: Imps are dirt cheap, don't require regular saleries and come with very good skills. In exchange for that, they come with lousy gear. I think this is fair game. If you want good gear, hire A.I.M. guys.

And yes, covert/spy trait isn't fully supported yet, obviously due to the fact that I have very limited time to actually play the game to test the stuff. I mostly only feature stuff that is actually tested in game (one of the reasons I didn't add NCTH yet, because it takes forever to get good values for it...).

But now those IMPs are somewhat dead weight in the landing fight, so imo giving them some low grade gear and maybe raising their default price in turn shouldn't be out of the question.

If you are referring to the facility danger, you can change that in FacilityTypes.xml.

yes it is a related to facilty danger,data 1.13/tabledata/maps/facilitypes.xml ?

Please, use team members equipped with AR-s with handling 12 (most of AR-s have this value) and do not use sniper scopes, xml values for sniper scopes will follow shortly. I would also recommend removing all other attachments (lasers etc.).

Please, use the advantages of seat and prone stances for easier aiming.

P.S. I hope Smeagol has nothing against this discussion as I do not want to hijack this tread and all the experiments are based on AIMNAS. Smeagol, just let me know if something is wrong.

I see your stance, that maybe they were a bit too good before. But the way you describe it sounds like you're getting rid of the baby with the bath water.

You don't find it ridiculous that all the IMPs all spawn with a 9mm pistol no matter which skills you choose?

I think there's a middleground somewhere in this.

I've just come across the MOLLE LBE and after 5 mins figuring it out I have to say it is bloody awesome!

Here's the much anticipated XMAS release of my AIMNAS/Bigmaps mod project.

Note: It is still work in progress and would also still be in closed beta if it wasn't xmas.


This means especially, that:

a.) You can't play a full campaign with this.

b.) Maps contain no items yet.

c.) Civilians are rather basic (no equipment on kingpin goons for example, as a certain someone who was responsible for this vanished at the start of the month...)

d.) Some (or better... most) quests don't work properly, so handle with care...

e.) Several new features are not implemented yet (no food, no NCTH, no Zombies...)


Okay, with that out of the way, let's see what the mod does contain:

1.) Bigmaps for around 60 maps (!). That's right... that's almost 4 complete rows on the strategic map, including Drassen and San Mona (unfortunately not Chitzena, just didn't have enough time to build another city... each city map takes at least 10 days... so it would have been another month at least to get it done...).

2.) Several new items (guns, lbes, grenades, etc...).

3.) Support for Overheating.

4.) Support for Dirt System (though disabled in the ini... I found it to be quite tedious micro management which basically required just another press button after combat routine... if you're into this kind of 'realism' feel free to re-activate it in the ini... gun cleaning kits are still available in some starting kits, mostly mercs you'd expect to have such an item have it... while dirt is disabled, these items obviously are useless, just get rid of them...)

5.) Support for Scuba Diving feature.

6.) Support for tripwires, claymores, fragmentation grenades.
