Edit:

what exactly is it, Buggler? Is that some form of externalisation that helps modders?
DepressivesBrot
It's a visualization of the movement costs and terrain types on the strategic map. Makes it easier for modders to spot errors.
DBrot's answer is as gd as it gets.

Moreover, modder can also directly edit in the adjustment table & then w a few more steps as stated in the excel tool, it can *almost* do a 100% conversion back to xml. There's another nifty feature (not documented) to help u w another xml but that have to b manually edited for the changes made in the visualization table (visual cues for the changes will b reflected in 'XMLAdjusted' sheet). Wink

Edit2:
v2 uploaded - included <BadSector> Import - to disable highlighting/clicking of map sector in strategic map

Edit3:
v3 uploaded - added visual cues for changes in 'Mod_ToAdjust' sheet for easy reference

Interim Radarmap Creation Fix for Big Maps
--------------------------------
- interim fix for radar map sti creation based on DBrot bigger overview code; only works when map editor resolution >= 1680x1050 & map size <= 360x360
- will revert to old radarmap generation (top left 160x160) if condition not satisfied due to current code limitations

(Superseded by Kriplo's r6652 fix, lifting the above arbitrary restrictions.) :thumbsup:

Is it possible to generate proper radarmaps independent of map editor resolution & map size?
Yes, it's definitely possible but beyond my skills atm.

This was what happened many nights ago....

*****
Mysterious Voice (MV): Hey, hey can you hear me?

Protagonist (P): mmmmmhh.... Could we talk later? It's not even daylight.... (falling asleep again)

MV: I like what you did for your website. Need your expertise to help mine too.
.
.
.

P: Can't you find someone else... I still wish to slee...

MV: Oh, they definitely can do it in a snap. But, you know... they are either very busy meddling w some good deeds or sparring w some hellish beings.
.
.

P: (groggily) okie, what's in it for me....

MV: Ahhh, now we are moving along. You will be fairly renumerated. So it' a 'yes' I guess.

[tapping on a glass surface was heard]

MV: How time flies, got to get moving. Someone's in need of me, got to go-oh. Adiosssss!
*****

When I woke up, there was a sack of silver nuggets beside my bed & a to-do list overlayed w a sticky note.

'Dun forget our deal ya! I'll be watching.'

So here I am, having splurged a bit, got to do what's got to be done.

MV: Hmmmm, good enough.... for now.

MV: And oh, I see you have documented 'Shift+R' too. You know, that is a very powerful tool for landscaping.

P: Landscaping? What is it used for? Some virtual Lego? Tell me is not something illegal, I want my peace.

MV: It's.... complicated stuff. Have fun with your new-earned fortune.

MV: (Voice distancing off) Don't spend it all on building your underground bunker cos it will be of no use in your lifetime ya....

XML Customization
--------------------------------
- Added slower <bEvolution> rates, growth slowdown will be more pronounced on higher stat values for possible scenarios like old age, spacing out nerds, plain duds or resurgence of favorite no-growth mercs
<bEvolution>3</bEvolution> - 0.75x normal rate
<bEvolution>4</bEvolution> - 0.5x
<bEvolution>5</bEvolution> - 0.25x

(E.g. if 40% chance to gain subpoints on NORMALEVOLUTION for each dice thrown, 3 - 30% chance; 4 - 20% chance; 5 - 10% chance.)

Coupled with wisdom stat, more variation in growth rates will be expected.

Well, things just don't remained the same after Arulco...

- Added random starting salaries & tweaked random stats generation. Now hiring never-before-used mercs becomes all the more likely. Get back to the game.
(Requires a new game to take effect)

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Should the game use random stats for the mercenaries (AIM, MERC, RPC, EPC and NPC)?
; 0 = do not use random stats (JA2 vanilla setting)
; 1 = full random stats for all profiles based on their "TableData\MercProfiles.xml" values
; 2 = partial random stats for any mercs that have random stats defined (Enabled = 1) in "TableData\RandomStats.xml"
; 3 = build random stats from (BaseAttribute) in "TableData\RandomStats.xml", range determined by level
; Hardcoded formula for 3 is BaseAttribute + 4 * EXP + Random(9) + Random(8)
;
; MERCS_RANDOM_STAT_RANGE applicable if MERCS_RANDOM_STATS = 1-2.
; Valid +/- range (0-50)
; For example MERCS_RANDOM_STAT_RANGE = 10,
; Stat = 80 will random between 70-90
; Stat = 95 will random between 90-100 due to 100 maximum limit
; Stat = 5 will random between 1-9 due to 1 minimum limit
; Stat = 0/1/100 will not random
;
; MERCS_RANDOM_EXP_RANGE applicable if MERCS_RANDOM_STATS = 1-3.
; Valid +/- range (0-4)
; For example MERCS_RANDOM_EXP_RANGE = 2,
; Exp = 4 will random between 2-6
; Exp = 8 will random between 7-9 due to 9 maximum limit
; Exp = 2 will random between 1-3 due to 1 minimum limit
; Exp = 1/9 will not random
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MERCS_RANDOM_STATS		= 1
MERCS_RANDOM_STAT_RANGE		= 10
MERCS_RANDOM_EXP_RANGE		= 1

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Use random starting salaries for mercenaries based on their "TableData\MercProfiles.xml" values? (JA2 Vanilla setting = FALSE)
; If MERCS_RANDOM_START_SALARY set TRUE, MAX_MODIFIER is the allowed +/- random percentage range (0-100, default = 30)
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MERCS_RANDOM_START_SALARY					= TRUE
MERCS_RANDOM_START_SALARY_PERCENTAGE_MAX_MODIFIER		= 30
--------------------------------
Lend your support to Jagged Alliance Flashback kickstarter if you like what modders & coders have been doing for JA2 where thousands (I do think I'm underestimating) of voluntary man-hours have been put into the mods & sourcecode.

I'm fine with either. Random_Stats was on since end March, just following as it is.

Like what Flugente has changed before, maybe set Random_Stats default OFF while Random_Salary default ON so as not to overwhelm players spending their time reassessing every merc on each new game.

Merc Cover Display View for All Mercs
--------------------------------
Think u got all angles covered? Think never again.

- Merc cover display view for all mercs in both real-time and turn-based mode. Multi-selection only possible in real-time mode
(Use hotkey '=' to view cover display for all mercs in turn-based mode)

http://i.imgur.com/GQjSyaN.jpg

Time to play some S**T!
--------------------------------
Note:
1. Activating display cover while moving groups in real-time mode will result in jerky gameplay due to recalculation of cover display.
2. When playing at resolution >1024x768, There will be graphic glitches for the bottom half of display cover as shown in the above screenshot. The bug should be present in vanilla too but did not manifest due to lower game resolution.

Edit:
Bananarepublic
Is it possible to also display sight range for all vieweable enemies (hotkey DEL)?

It's already possible in v4870.

Sometimes merc 1 can see enemy a and b, but merc 2 can't and i have to cycle between them to see available safe spots.

Currently heli refuel site max limit is fixed at 2 to maintain savegame compatibility. Once it's broken, will piggyback along to expand the max limit. Committed in r7214 by Flugente.

Creature Underground Sector Externalization
--------------------------------
While the usual suspects are warring above, things are just starting to brew underneath.

In TableData/Map/CreaturePlacements.xml,
<!--
This file defines creatures placement & composition for SCI-FI MODE, when ENABLE_CREPITUS = TRUE.

Fields index:
Placement
	Index			- UNIQUE number for creature site. Max 10 possible sites; only 1 will be randomly
					activated based on 'Infectible' status, mine control and not attacking its headminer.
	
	ATTACKSOURCE		- sector where creature surfaces to attack town.
					Its associated B1 underground sector MUST be defined as a habitat/queen sector.
	
	ALTERNATEMAP		- sector using alternate map when creature quest is initiated.
	
	WARPTOSECTOR		- warp destination on tactical screen exit after creature quest completion.
					Works only when in habitat/queen sector and SectorZ >= 2.
				  
	QUEENSECTOR		- come to Mama!
					
	HABITATSECTOR		- linked underground sectors where creatures will be guests. Max 255 per site.
					For dungeon crawling, dead-ends can be set; spawning will take time to fill though.

Composition
	CompIndex		- Max 50 compositions. The 6 percentage tags MUST add up to 100.
	
	MaxPopulation		- limited by MAX_NUMBER_CREATURES_IN_TACTICAL in Ja2_Options.ini
	
	Default Vanilla Composition. 
		0 - QUEEN_LAIR, where the queen lives. Highly protected.
			Reserved for QUEENSECTOR. HABITATSECTOR using Composition '0' will be ignored.
		1 - LAIR, part of the queen's lair; lots of babies and defending mothers
		2 - LAIR_ENTRANCE, where the creatures access the mine.
		3 - INNER_MINE, parts of the mines that aren't close to the outside world
		4 - OUTER_MINE, area's where miners work, close to towns, creatures love to eat [img=images/smiley_icons/icon_smile.gif]Smile[/img]
		5 - FEEDING_GROUNDS, creatures love to populate these sectors [img=images/smiley_icons/icon_smile.gif]Smile[/img]
		6 - MINE_EXIT, the area that creatures can initiate town attacks if lots of monsters.
	
NOTE:
Quest initialized by 'CheckConditionsForTriggeringCreatureQuest' in StrategicTownLoyalty.lua script OR
	CREPITUS_FEEDING_SECTOR in Creatures_Settings.ini
Index sequence MUST be the same order as the 'Infectible' sequence at 'InitializeMines' in initmines.lua. 
All QUEENSECTOR & HABITATSECTOR need to be defined at 'SectorList' in initunderground.lua script.
Non-linked sites can only be initialized at 'PopulateSectors' in initunderground.lua script on game start.
	Creatures will obediently stay in sector like the underground enemies.
-->

Now modders can be so sick to construct an elaborate underground dungeon crawler with respawning creatures before reaching Queen D.
(Previously we can only mod static underground enemies, bloodcats and creatures)

Queen's production rate is found in Creatures_Settings.INI.

Oh, crepitus can also now be domesticated and stealthy to randomly attack any player-controlled sectors in Ja2_Options.ini.
Quote:
; Crepitus will attack other player-controlled town sectors, not just the originating town. Vanilla - FALSE
CREPITUS_ATTACK_ALL_TOWNS = FALSE

All will be in the upcoming stable branch.

Dynamic Tactical Squad Hotkeys
--------------------------------
Tactical squad hotkeys are now sorted and auto-assigned to only those that are present in sector (thanks Sevenfm).

Houston, we have a problem at A13.

Battle		Squad 6			Reinforcements
commences	decimated		2, 16 arrives

[1]Squad 3		[1]Squad 3		[1]Squad 2
[2]Squad 6	->	[2]Squad 12	->	[2]Squad 3
[3]Squad 12		[3]Squad 18		[3]Squad 12
[4]Squad 18					[4]Squad 16
						[5]Squad 18

Using Flugente's xml squad names feature,

Battle		Foxtrot			Reinforcements
commences	decimated		Bravo, Papa
					arrives
[1]Charlie		[1]Charlie		[1]Bravo
[2]Foxtrot	->	[2]Lima		->	[2]Charlie
[3]Lima			[3]Romeo		[3]Lima
[4]Romeo					[4]Papa
						[5]Romeo
*[x] - tactical screen squad hotkeys

--------------------------------
Country Name & Noun Externalization
--------------------------------
In Cities.xml,
<CITY_INFO>
	<COUNTRY>
		<countryName>Gotham City</countryName>
		<countryNoun>Gotees</countryNoun>
	</COUNTRY>
	<CITYLIST>
		<CITY>

Most other Arulco references are in the EDT files, e.g. Help.edt
('Arulco' and 'Arulcan' will be used for mods without relevant tags)

All will be in the upcoming stable release.
