I tried it, it works great!
not too much micromanagement, but before moving the troops to a mission, having to plan how much food to carry is really funny.
my mercs are always at about 95% max weight when starting for a mission, lol.

Still there is a bug with canned vegetables, it makes some soldier eat all canned food in inventory in automatic. I usually find myself with some soldier at 100% food and no more canned vegetables in inventory.

Now we need another feature like "camping", that allow the mercs to sleep confortably outside of cities and bases.
What about making a facility in each sector called "camp" usable only if the mecs has the camping kit that increase resting in the sector if "staffed"?, and if not staffed, the mercs sleep very bad?
It would simulate the building of tents etc...
It will have to be decided if making the "campmaster" a single merc that enhances the resting quality in sector, or having every merc carrying his own small tent and use the "camp" facility to sleep confortably.

Thanks for making this game so enjoyable, and as always,
thanks for your time.

EDIT:
I like the new refill menu, but seems odd that when I click "Refill canteen" all canteens in sector get refilled, and when I click clean weapon, only the selected merc weapon gets cleaned.

it should be:
1)refill all canteens 2)clean weapon (as now, but correct the sentence)
or
1)refill canteen 2)clean weapon (leave the sentence as is, but make only the selected merc canteen get refilled)
or
1)refill all canteens 2) clean all weapons (change the sentences and make all weapons in sector get cleaned) <- I love this Razz

Would make more sense (to me), if we'd use 3 options there:
1. refill (all) canteens
2. clean equipped weapon of currently selected char
3. clean every gun of squad (that is above x% dirt)

Because sometimes you may want to not waste a cleaning kit on a seldom used side arm or something.

guys, you have forgotten something important. after a healthy meal - as you sure have heard mr Gordon to complain - it's impossible to get bacon from between your teeth. without proper instruments, we should add. so, there must be toothpicks! and it opens a whole new world of micromanagement. what kind of pocket should there be for toothpicks? and sure it is wrong to manage with just grey, one-size-fits-all toothpicks. just like with ammo, you should need some red ones and some blue ones after different meals. and for some special toothpicking there should be green and white and pink ones. and it would be wrong to keep toothpicks of different colour in the same pocket. and what about king-size toothpick-packs that will last you the whole way to the queens underground shelter?





doh...






just finished a game of vanilla JA2. it really was like a breath of fresh air. did i miss 100AP? no. new inventory? no. traits? no. roaming militia? no. new chance to hit? hell no. only things i did miss were vehicle inventory and j-shortcut for climbing.

I don't like unnecessary micromanagement, but who decides what's necessary and what's not?
I feel carrying food and water as important as ammo.
I feel having to manually feed each merc unnecessary.(in fact they do it by themselves)
I feel camping material necessary.
It is just a matter of opinions I guess.

Ah, and in your army experience, the soldiers decided what food and where to get the food they carried around?

I can see myself in that army:
"today I will carry some chinese food, yay!"

@madwolf: I am unable to produce the bug you reported with canned vegetables, for em the auto-eating works fine. However, I fixed a bug concerning the removal of items from stacks in r5467. If your exe is older than that, that could be the reason... other chance would be if you have a very high number of food points for the vegetables in food.xml, or a weird value (no in 1-100) in .

Suggestion:

How about food and drinks will be consumed automatically by individual merc like those in Mount & Blade? We only put items into their packs and let them do the consumption.

In real combat missions soldiers will bring their own combat rations. The amount of food depends on the length of mission. Sometimes they will even hunt in the forests for food.

The principal is, whenever the mercs are outside, they will automatically consume their food items they bring alone as time passed. Get rid of unnecessary micromanagement, a normal healthy person should dine in about every 8 hours in which making sense that we usually eat 3 meals a day.

When the mercs are garrisoned, there is no need for the player to manually manage the food for each individual merc since it is assumed there are kitchens and mess halls for them to eat. When inside a town or a city, the huger and thirst bar can be automatically refilled.

Attributes of food and drink can be treated as ammo crates actually: purchased in bulk in reasonable prices, can be dispensed into smaller items for carrying ease, and can be consumed primarily in an automatic manner.

Below are some thoughts regarding the relation between gameplay and food items:

Higher quality and varied food choices = morale booster/Mercs are slower to get tired/Faster speed of recovery from wounds/Health status increase exp.

Poor food quality and combination = morale gets lower more easily/Mercs are faster to get tired/Hard to make long range missions on foot.

Constant Hydration = morale booster/bonus fighting or traveling in desert regions.

Ehem....

They already consume food automatically when they are hungry.
There are already facilities that can be staffed where emrcs can eat (see Alma barracks for the cantina). However, they do not get food on their own.
It is the basic way with this feature to buy food and put it into mercs inventories, yes.

Some food increases morale, other food lowers it, see the -tag in Food.xml.
If low on food (or way too high), you get penalties to sleep, energy reduction, assignment effectivity, maximum possible morale and, in severe cases, a chance to lose health and strength.

The Food level is lowered depending on your actions, travelling uses much more food.
In the desert, your water consumption is even higher.

So I can happily report that your suggestions are already implemented Smile

I'm sorry, did not read through the tread before posting. Thank you for your work and patience answering me.

BTW, can a food item be made to replenish the hunger and the thirst bar simultaneously? (Of course in different ratio)
It is because many solid food contain fluid or liquid, especially within those fresher dishes. Canned vegetables contain much water too. Could it be possible so that you don't need to drink water in order to rehydrate.

Yes, you can. Look at Food.xml. Food can restore both food and water points, soem items, like vegetable juice, already do that.

did not meant to offend anybody - it sure is fun to try and make a great game even better. still i do not think this eating thing (and some other modifications) fits the spirit of JA as i see it. why?

IF it was a regular army then catering is not a platoon commander's problem. even not company commander's. ok, in JA there is an individual group without official rear service. so, if some of my men complains the second time (as the first time could be some misunderstanding) about missing food, i'd have a serious talk with Miguel and probably shoot his kneecap to avoid this happening again - just like with Pablo when things disappear in airport.

BUT those guys are not conscripts, they are mercenaries. who by default do not need being hand feed. they should be able to take care of themselves and for that they get good money in hard currency. (ok, not so good money for Dynamo and Shank if you decide to keep them, but they are locals and have their own means.) sure, there are desert and swamp sectors with no food around - but there are marching orders: we will leave at 8 pm, we'll be in a desert for 3 days, be prepared. and i seriously think it should be sufficient.

... The auto-feed starts at -25%. I will not externalise that value, because I WANT it to be negative. This results in auto-feeding being suboptimal. This results in the player paying attention to his mercs and giving them lunch breaks being more effective. Micromanagement should have benefits after all.


While I agree that micromanagement should have benefits, we cannot forsee how modders may use the food feature in the future. (I am just making stuff up now as an example) For example someone may mod an addiction to a substance like Spice from Dune as a food and may need to change the -25% value.

Flugente
I will not externalise all te penalties, because externalising this

	INT32	bThreshold;

	UINT8	ubStatDamageChance;		// percentual chance to receive damage to life and strength
} FoodMoraleMod;

FoodMoraleMod FoodMoraleMods[NUM_FOOD_MORALE_TYPES] =

	{ -10000,	-50,	-3,	-80,	-75,	100},	//	FOOD_STARVING
};


would result in a lot of variables...



While I agree that this is a lot of variables and fairly complicated, we externalized comparable things in the past, like movement cost between sectors or garrison patrols, you can use these examples to externalize the food values.

I am not trying to disrespect you for your food code, I like it and I think it is a good feature. I am trying to help you support your feature by making it more accessible to modders, meaning other people can use what you did in other ways in the future.

For example the new attachment system was really not envisioned as a molle extension for LBE gear, however Smeagol saw the opportunity and implemented (or he wanted to) a new system for allowing the player to highly customize LBE gear.

The original intention can be re-used by others in the future for things we didn't predict at the time the original feature was implemented - the code transcends mere existence / survival by allowing customization.

Yo Maalstroom, good point actually, the need for sleep is different for each merc, meaning the merc profile allows to customize how much sleep the merc needs, maybe a "need for food" tag could be added to the merc profiles?

But back to my post, while I respect Flugente's work, and I am working with him on some STIs over PM, and I agree that externalizing this feature will be a lot of work, I want to emphasize the long term benefits of externalization - you just can't beat the benefits you get by allowing modders to change the parameters of how your code works.

that is handled by need for sleep - send razor and gumpy together as mules from drassen to san mona - gumpy will arrive well fed while razor wille arrive starved and thirsty for taking in all his food and beverage while he was awake and waiting for gumpey to wake up

i sorroly tested that - for a mulesquad 'overload*need-for-sleep' should be roughly equal for all mercs or those who sleep less will burn through their supplies, while those who sleep all day won't.

In the latest build, I have 5718, is there a way to disable this if you start a game with the option enabled?

I wanted to try this but as I'm testing out Arulco Revisited and that mod is not officially compatible with the latest release. Essentially the maps are different and they don't have the water availability entries so you can't refill canteens, forcing me to buy water like crazy from bars.

Essentially I would like to turn off the food system in this game without restarting again.

It was decided a few months ago that certain features can only be turned on/off when starting a new game. This feature is one of them.

The only option to switch ingame is via debugger (simply set gGameOptions.fFoodSystem to FALSE, it is no problem codewise to switch it).
An alternative solution, if the water problem is your only concern, is to add the corresponding values to TableData/Map/SectorNames.xml: the -tag is the relevant here. Either copy those from the trunk, or fill in according to your own wishes:

Flugente

Maps/SectorNames.xml now has the new entry 2 (UINT8). This determines the water quality:
0 - no water here at all
1 - drinkable water (rivers, water supply from houses)
2 - salt water, can't drink that (until something gets implemented...)
3 - there is water here, but it is poisoned (swamps and polluted sectors)

I believe Patton said, "we will not need food when we are winning, we will eat the enemy!" I'm not sure if he meant it literally.

Survival food doesn't have to be too disgusting, actually. Lots of wild plants are edible and some of them don't taste that bad, though some are toxic if you don't cook them right. The larvae of the Central American ox beetle is actually the most nutritious animal protein known, and tastes vaguely like shrimp. It is kind of freaky though - imagine a maggot the size of a grown man's thumb, with huge menacing pincer jaws, that tastes vaguely like shrimp. Of course, it's a lot harder in the desert.

Also, you can make ice on a clear night even in the tropics using only an insulated, tall-walled vessel with some water in it. It works much better if you also have thin plastic sheets, like kitchen wrap or garbage bags. The wonders of science!

IoV928_exe5345_full plus patches 1 and 2 (contents into Data-1.13, usually works just fine)

The earliest exe version that had food was r5411. Naturally, for features like food, prisoners etc. you need a fitting exe.

I am not familiar with IoV, but wasn't it a item-only modification? If so, it would be enough to simply use the current exe, but use IoV's items and adding a few items from the GameDir trunk (like food).

They began adding insignificant stuff since 922:Quote:
1. Sight ranger of day / night from 2/1 change to 3/1. In other word you can see 30 grid at day, but at night just 10 grid.
2. The change to ratable. For example, "20" meet is 120%.
3. New ITEMSIZE confine is 0~54. For more shape and size magazine and frag and other item.
4. New malfunction type. Example a new M16 jam same a Damage 60% AK. But a 100% AK have 0.4% jam chance.
But we are want getting better this programmer, jaw just only before auto shooting. Because only check for a jam on the first bullet. We hope check for a jam in each one bullet.

Hmm. Does that mean that IoV, since several years, keeps a separate exe version, into which they painfully merge every commit we do, just to maintain 5 small differences between the exes that could very easily be externalied options? And that this is the reason people have such problems if they want to play IoV with new exes?

4 small differences, sizes are an option already Smile
1) Should be an option, or just set the values separately in the first place
2) Should just be another tag - we have several instances with percent_x_bonus and _x_bonus already
4) Not sure what exactly that is, might be the only real feature that needs an option
5) Would just be a line or two in the armor code - I wanted to look into that anyway.

4) If they were really able to cause jams in autofire, that would really be a worthy addition, atm we don't.
5) Not sure about this. Armour plates in LBE gear? Unless you reserve special slots in your LBE for this, you could stuff 10 plates into your vest and be a tank.
