Hy guys,

maybe a few of you already know, that you can play the Unfinished Business campaign with 1.13 and most of the UB-Mods (Vietnam, Shady Jobs, ...) with the latest features of 1.13. There are more than 40 UB mods that have been ported to work with 1.13.

Here I will give you a step-by-step instructions to get Unfinished Business and the additional UB-Mods running.

1.) Install JA2

2.) Get the latest GameDir files from SVN. You can use the tool "TortoiseSVN" to get those files. Just connect to the following URL and download all the files in a temporary folder.
https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2_v1.13_data/GameDir

3.) After downloading copy/paste the files in your JA2 installation directory and overwrite any existing files. The download from the SVN GameDir already included the 1.13 "Unfinished Business" campaign. Just be sure to have the folder "Data-UB" in your JA2 installation directory.

4.) All the UB-Mods are additional and optional downloads. You can also get them from SVN. Download in a temporary folder. Here is the url:
https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/branches/Wanne/UB_113_Addons

5.) Once the download is finished, copy the MODs you want to play from the "Data-UB\AddOns" folder in your JA2 installation directory "Data-UB\AddOns" folder. Once that is done, you also have to copy the profiles from the "Profiles\UserProfile_UnfinishedBusiness\Addons" to your JA2 installation directory "Profiles\UserProfile_UnfinishedBusiness\Addons" folder.

6.) Now you are ready to go. Just start the "INI Editor" (INI Editor.exe inside your JA2 installation directory)
a.) Select the UB Mod you want to play from the "Select JA2 v1.13 MOD" Drop Down List
b.) Select the correct executable (plain 1.13 or 1.13 UB, or you can even select the proper Map Editor executable file if you want to start the map editor) from the "Start Executable File" Drop Down List
c.) Click "Start" and the game (or the map editor) will start
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/34560718/INIEditor_UB_Mods.png

7.) Most of those mods only work with "Old Inventory and Old Attachment system". So if you start a new game, you should NOT change this option in the "Initial Game Settings". Just use the default preselected option for "Inventory / Attachment". See the screenshot below:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/34560718/UB_InitalGameSettings.png

Now a few screenshots from different UB 1.13 Mods. Have fun.

Wow, thanks RoWa. I think many of the regular JA2 players have not tried these mods (like me), so I'm looking forward to test these out with the new and cool 1.13 features. Thank you!

nice work thx alot
I always waned to play shady job, but i didnt like low resolution
now i can give it another try

EDIT: bug reports
dont know maybe i did something wrong at installation but here is my problrem
after you run the game, black screen and back to desktop

1. shady job EN didnt work using ini editor
2. ja2_ub_5520.exe dont work at all (not even vanilla UB campaign) so I was using ja2_UB_5423.exe
3. when i tried to edit ja_UB.ini i set
;******************************************************************************************************************************
; 1.13 - Unfinished Business
VFS_CONFIG_INI=Data-UB\Addons\Data-Mods-Shady-Job\vfs_config.UB_Shady-Job-EN.ini, Data-UB\VFS\Temp\vsf_Config.UBTemp.ini, Data-UB\VFS\Temp\vsf_Config.Temp.ini
;******************************************************************************************************************************
at this point i got short tone and kick to desktop
4. then i found small error in vfs_config.UB_Shady-Job-EN.ini
PROFILE_ROOT = Profiles\UserProfile_UnfinishedBusiness\AddOns\Shady-Job\Shady-Job-EN should be
PROFILE_ROOT = Profiles\UserProfile_UnfinishedBusiness\UB\AddOns\Shady-Job\Shady-Job-EN

5. now i can run the game and i got green interface from shady job and shady job music in menu, but campaign is still from vanilla UB


EDIT 2 I fucked up at installation apparently somehow, dont know how my profiles got stuck in UB map
I will try to find solution and post it here if i found one...

EDIT 3
I found traces of UB map in profiles in
vfs_config.UB.ini in JA2 map
PROFILE_ROOT = Profiles\UserProfile_UnfinishedBusiness\UB
but if I run vanilla UB 1.13 and create save game it saves in different map
C:\ORIG\Profiles\UserProfile_JA2113_UB_EN\SavedGames

i got lost in all different maps and paths in ini files,

Question:
1. does this mods require original UB installed?
2. Set JA2UB v1.13 Campaign.exe - is it working and which ini files are affected by it?
3. What revision of SVN repository is recommended, maybe i am running on to old or to new one. (i have 1534 JA2 and 5541 addons)



OK I got everything working.
You have to do exactly what ROWA21 said in instructions and everything works. With 1534 JA2 and 5541 addons revisions and ja2_ub_5520.exe. Run game with INI EDITOR!

My problem was because I always export my SVN revision to temporary map, so I can keep old exe files and such. In that temporary map I had old ini files, Set JA2UB v1.13 Campaign.exe and alot od other stuff that was in old revisions but got deleted in newer ones. That files caused troubles. E.g. 1543 revision doesnt contain ja_UB.ini file at all, that file i had in my svn export map and in JA2 root map.

So my advice- clean SVN revision; dont export it at all, just copy map with all SVN related files in JA2 map and then copy Addons and Profiles. You dont need original UB instalation or UB CD. Just clean JA2 or JA2 Gold.

Good that you got it working Wink

1) UB installation isnot required. Latest version of 1.13 SVN GameDir contains all needed files
2) This is obsolete and noz working anymore. Just use the latest version of the INI Editor to start ANY UB mod.
3) The latest version. At least exe revison 5520 and latest SVN GameDir files. So dont forget to update from SVN.

there were some further problems
shady job closes after you create IMP merc and close laptop screen
if i try to play game with only AIM mercs first sector is OK but second sector is closing time again
(note when i tried old vversion of shady job i remember that from first sector you could go only north, while on this version you can only travel east on tactical map)

i will report if i found solution
did somebody else manage to get shady Job working?

BTW; seems to me that vietnam is working OK; other MODs look just like vanilla UB; RU an PL version of Shady Job also dont work for me


EDIT:
I reinstaled again
now PL and RU versions of Shady Job is working
I managed to come to second sector in PL version not in EN (one to the east of landing one)
creating IMP merc still cause error
i noticed that in AIM mercs if you use old inventory setting Thor have for weapon infant spit- NADA no graphics. Weapon is working in game. If you use new inventory he got HK once and some auto pistol second time.

@bambusar: there is a big chance, that the shady job and other ub mods are not 100% ported to 1.13. It seems some xml files are missing and then the mod uses the default ub xml files. For example that could be the reason why you could travel in the wrong direction.

Either I did something wrong, or SOG69 is also screwed up. The items are a mess, I got a crash when trying to remove a 10X scope from Gaston's M24 (with the picture of a Mosin-Nagant). Also, the normal JA2 mercenary salary system was being used (don't know if the UB one is implemented at all), and MERC had a double for Stogie with no text on his description.

After the crash I changed a few settings in the INI, but now I can't get the game running. Assertion failures at gamestart. From the looks of it, these mod ports are completely FUBAR, or require some veeery specific settings to run properly. I seriously doubt I did anything that would've caused the crash, but if that's the case then these ports are pretty bad, to be blunt.

RoWa, do know who made these? Or are they "straight extracts" or something similar taken from that one Polish project mentioned a couple of time last year (IIRC)? Anyway, they clearly need more work. Unless these are not even meant to be played yet, in that case just ignore my ramblings. Smile

those mods are work in progress and are updated to 1.13 by Inshy and Jazz AFAIK. But I think currently no one is working on it. I dont have the time to rework and fix it. maybe some ones here on the forum would like to fix the viernam mod and also the shady job mod? anyone interested?

As far as I know Shady Job was primarily a translation job from Polish to English by Inshy, no technical or game edits were ever made due to it being created with hex code. I hope that's not the case but that's the impression I got.

@hawkeye: You are speaking of the original shady job. Yes, this was a translation from polish to english. But we are talking here about the port from original UB shady job to 1.13 UB shady job.

Hey Roman, I wasn't aware there was such a port, I thought the current Enlgish version of Shady Job was still just a translation of the original. Is Inshy working on a 1.13 version now?

I did a mistake, works fine now thanks.

But i got another problem, don't know if it fits the topic.
I played UB 1.13 but Morris didn't drop the launch codes at the end, so i couldn't finish the game.
I tried several reloads and other things, but he just won't drop them.

Try to steal it while Morris is alive. Use stun grenades or melee until his stamina depletes, then ctrl+click on him. Use first aid on him if his status is "dying" because you can't steal items from dying guys. If else fails use "gabbi" cheats to get required item. There is a key combination for cycling your item in your primary hand. If you don't know how to do it; type "GABBI" while pressing "CTRL" key. Game will show a message if you do it correctly. Then press "ALT+W" till you get your item. If you cycle too much press "SHIFT+ALT+W". Details are here: http://ja2v113.pbworks.com/w/page/4218351/ja2_and_1_13_hot_keys

Finished JA2 1.13 (4552) recently and now I want to play UB with 1.13 enhancements. I have 2 different installations of UB 1.13 mods installed. Both are up and running.

1st intall (SVN 1.13 1557 w/ 5520 exe + SVN 5541 mod add-ons) follows instructions on this page but I can only run UB with old items and attachments. Game freezes with new/new selected.

2nd install (1.13 4870 + UB 1.13 1.5) follows the directions from Legion page. This install works with new/new selected but does not have the latest features of 1.13 SVN. Also has a lot of Polish text in game which is a minor annoyance (Can this be fixed? If so, how?).

Is it possible to play UB 1.13 SVN (1st install) with the new items and new attachments (new/new selected)? 1.13 has spoiled me and I can't go back to the old items/old attachment system. If this is not possible then I will play UB 1.13 with 2nd install.

Solved! Playing UB 1.13 on stable build 4870 with UB Hybrid 1.5. Fix to Polish text was to delete "BinaryData" folder inside "Data" before copying 1.5 files to 1.13 folder. Just finished several hours of gameplay and not issues so far. Hours of searching and reading post in forums led me to final solution. Thanks to all the modders and play testers!

The cold must have clouded my mind. I was talking about JA2 to Unfinished Business exporting. I know it was possible with the vanilla games.

Edit: So to repeat my question, can you play with the same IMP(s) through the original Jagged Alliance 2 and Unfinished Business in 1.13?

Hey Everybody,

Been lurking here for a bit, just finished my first 1.13 playthrough and am looking to play unfinished business.

I followed the steps outlined by Rowan to a T. Installed fine, game loaded fine, and proceeded until I shut down the laptop after hiring mercs and doing whatever else.

At that point, I get the following error:

Assertion Failure [Line 8695 in .\mapscreen.cpp]

Funny thing is, any information I can find about .\mapscreen.cpp shows that line 8695 is blank.

Anyway I'm not sure if this is the right place to post bugs, but if not please let me know how to properly report this. I put in a real effort to debug the problem but I wasn't getting anywhere so I figured I might as well post. The SVN I copied over is the same one linked to in this thread.

I made many changes to the ja2options.ini, which may have played a role in leading to the error. I'm happy to send my .ini file to anyone who might be able to help me with this.

Thanks everybody for their hard work on 1.13 and integration with UB.

Probably your exe version and game files are of different versions. Can you tell us your exe version you are running? Also welcome to the pit :wave:

gaaa I figured out what I was doing wrong.

Ok, I know it was dumb, but I spent a lot of time poring of the Ja2options.ini file in the "Gamedir\Data" directory, so to save time I just copy pasted the file I made in the "Gamedir\Data-1.13" and "Gamedir\Data-UB" directories.

Bad idea.

There are many UB specific parameters that are set in the Ja2options.ini file not covered in the separate UB_Options.ini file (such as starting location and voice files for NPC's). So I just had to spend the time manually changing each parameter I wanted to adjust in the INI file so as not to upset any settings which would cause UB to self destruct.

In case anyone out there is silly like me and thinks this pasting your existing INI options for 1.13 into the UB folder is a good idea, IT ISN'T! lol.

On a side note, I did notice that the two files do not appear to be the same version, i.e. there are a few options available in the 1.13 Ja2options.ini that are not present in the UB Ja2options.ini. Just throwing it out there in case someone that cares is not aware.

Looking forward to playing the expansion! Also loving many of the new features in this latest SVN.... ok I don't want to feed my mercs or anything but widescreen resolutions are cool Razz

Hello, I followed all the steps and recommendations from above and I get the following error after the intro:

http://imghub.org/w1srwo.jpg.html[/image]

The files are up-to-date, but I cannot figure where the .cpp files are located. Previously i tried ja 1.13 with hybrid ub 1.5 PL (it had a seperate source folder with all c++ files) but there is no source in this one. Any ideas?

You need to use GameDir revision r1583 or older. r1584 reordered XML-files and needs new binary >=r5763 source. GameDir still contains old binary and therefore it doesn't work before rebuild.

I assume you use an old/incompatible ja2 ub exe file. I compiled my own ub exe and game works fine.

Parkan had same problem. Now how can we solve that?

  • Document this problem in instructions
  • Remove UB-binary
  • Update UB-binary more frequently
  • Ask SCI persons to compile UB-binary
  • Ask SCI persons to archive older revisions for UB. e.g. r1526 to use with ja2_ub_r5520.exe.
  • Other solutions?

Ty DepressivesBrot for building more binaries.

I assume you use an old/incompatible ja2 ub exe file. I compiled my own ub exe and game works fine.


Could you send to Depri to host or host it yourself for us to d/load ?

I'm way ahead of you. Could someone check if it works though?

I can confirm that exe JA2_6105_UB.exe works on my machine (Vista)

There are warnings but the game doesn't crash at startup.

What I did:
Update the 'Resources' from https://ja2svn.dyndns.org/source/ja2_v1.13_data/GameDir and copy it to the JA-folder.
Update the 'UB_Addons' from https://ja2svn.dyndns.org/source/ja2/branches/Wanne/UB_113_Addons
Copy the folder 'Data-UB\Addons\Data-Mod-SOG69-Vietnam' to the JA-folder.
Copy the folder 'Profiles\UserProfile_UnfinishedBusiness\Addons\SOG69-Vietnam' to the JA-folder.
Download JA2_6105.7z from https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=013a6926eac52083&id=13A6926EAC52083!202 and extract to the JA-folder.

Start the Ini Editor with : 'vfs_config.UB_SOG69-Vietnam.ini' and 'JA2_6105_UB.exe'

What might make things easier to set up would be pics here of the various folders contents , cause sometimes even I've forgotten how things are set out ?

Ja2 folder
mod (whatever it is) folder
anything else relevant .


Easy for you geeky nerds who do this all the time ... (yes you Depri Smile )

Would it be helpful to our growing band of warriors out there ?

I did this, but when I launch SOG '69 I get a missing file error for MercStartingGear25.xml

I dropped the downloaded game directory right into a fresh install of JA2 gold

@darkmajor: you used an old ja2 ub exe file which does not work with the latest gamedir files. you have to compile your own executable from the latest source or wait for someone who does the job for you.

So DepressivesBrot's latest exe is still too old? So if I have to compile one my self could someone give me a guide? Or is that too much too explain?
