IIRC you could not advance time in underground sectors, probably wrong and i'm mixing it up with sth else.

Nope. Avancing time underground works, and repairing does work (if I remove the condition). Would be odd if you couldn't speed up time if one of your 32 mercs is underground, wouldn't it?

I'd like to ask for three small features, probably too small to make a separate topic

Feature1
Show (enemy) soldiers energy and morale in the tooltip, if it is set to show all information
SOLDIER_TOOLTIP_DETAIL_LEVEL = 4
why i need this

Feature2
Capturing and Sending Police to prison (and other hostile civilians)
more explanation on this in capturing topic here

Feautre3
Slow/reduce Merc dying by introducing negative hp's
How it would work:
-merc hp_max=60, shot for 65, drops down with -5hp.
-looses x each turn (the old way)
-each turn x% of insta death
-drops to -10hp = 50%death
-drops to -20hp = 100%death (15 is max_hp/3)
why i ask this

That seems reasonable. Note that morale isn't as straightforward as one thinks it is (there are 4-5 several values that influence each other for mercs, and AI morale works different again). Morale influences surrender strength, but unless you know the other values of the soldier (and those of your team), morale is not a good indicator of wether the enemy will surrender or not.

The current system already does what you want. If your HPs drop below 15, a merc is dying - he loses consciousness and is helpless. As he'll bleed at that point, he'll bleed to death without assistance.
Instadeath on mercs is a bad idea imho. Your merc is already dying in a few turns. Why the need for a sudden chance of even faster death?

As of r6315 and GameDir r1738, the icons for assignments (and a few other states,like drugged, hungry etc.) are now in a separate library, an thus independent from face gear icons. Which has the added bonus that we don't need to add the same icon to 4 libraries if we want to add a new one.

That GameDir is required for that exe. Not having the lib will crash the game.

Flugente, what have you done?

Now my mercs are (from left to right):

http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/1817/dyn4.png

- drunk when wearing sun goggles together with extended ear
- moving equipment when using sun goggles only
- hungry when using NV goggles

At least those icons are shown. The mercs aren't actually doing any of this. They are assigned to squad 1.

Using GameDir 1738 and Exe 6316. Problem already happened with 6315.

These are my game settings:

- not using food system

Ja2_Options.Ini:
- TACTICAL_FACE_ICON_STYLE = 0
- SHOW_CAMOUFLAGE_FACES = TRUE

Ingame Options:
- Show Face Gear Graphics = checked
- Show Face Gear Icons = checked

I think that I found something. In Tactical\Faces.cpp starting from line 1818 the face graphics and icons are defined.

1. A matrix is used to defined the face gear.
2. The same matrix is used to define the icon for the face gear. For example my searge uses sun goggles + extended ear. Icon index in that case is 18.
3. No other options apply (food, assignment, whatever...). Icon index is still 18.
4. On line 2306 you display icon index 18 from guiASSIGNMENTICONS which is "drunk" and not the icon for the face gear anymore. Sad

edit: Too slow... Very Happy

edit2: Looks fine now. Smile

@Flugente, thx for the answers

Energy and morale.
Hoping Energy will be in the tooltip in the future then
Morale too complicated, oh ok.

Slower dying with negative hps.
Maybe its not that good idea after all.

As of r6323 an GameDir r1739,
SOLDIER_TOOLTIP_DISPLAY_ENERGY    = TRUE
SOLDIER_TOOLTIP_DISPLAY_MORALE    = TRUE
control wether energy and morale are shown. Keep in mind that morale is a bit more complicated than just that value though.

Personally I like the dying / bleeding idea (not insta-death though). An option that increases the chance of getting the dying state instead of being killed would be pretty cool. Saving guys from bleeding out is interesting gameplay-wise, while instant kills often makes me just load an earlier save. An option to alter the bleeding speed would be cool too.

@Flugente, thanks for the changes.
If you had some time to waste, could you explain how the enemy morale system works?

@krux, that is exactly what i wanted,. slower dying, less insta kills. Maybe someone will crystalize into a more clean idea/code.

Buggler added the option to move 5 militia at once in the militia redistribution screen. Press 'Ctrl' while clicking to do this.

Moving all militia works by pressing 'Shift', as I am sure nobody ever knew (I sure didn't).

We should definitly add those and many other useful things to the "Data-1.13\TableData\LoadScreenHints.xml" file. Any volunteers? If someone works on this, please use the following existing thread:

How I know with some IOv features like adding plates to LBE vest is any of modders can add such thing to stock LBE vests of mod 1.13?I know such option is easy to make via xml editor but how i know xml editor can broke some things,and do this manually-a little problem as for me.

So,can modders add possibility to attach stock plates(ceramic,titanium)to stock lbe vests(Lbe gear vest,Russian lbe vest,etc)?

Three of AFS v4.48's LBE chest rigs (the M-LBE ones) can fit plates. Not sure if I want to expand on this too quickly as I am concerned about balance - will the plates stack as the attachments are on different items? I remember that plate armour values do not stack on the same vest (that is if multiple plates were allowed by attachment compatibilities/incompatibilites).

EDIT: speaking of which, I should have the v4.48 preview for AFS done by later today.

I am talked about stock items in stock 1.13 mod.AFS,AIMNAS and other modifications-modders wish.


I maded such changes for myself via xml editor and checked in game.Plates add % armor to player and sometimes get damage.So i think it work.

Moa added various fixes today, among them this:

Flat backpack malus replaced with malus which scales linear with weight of backpack up to maximum specified in ini file. Each 5 kg 1 additional malus is applied for movement. When carrying pack in hands or inside another pocket the full malus is applied. Malus for changing stances is still 1 additional Point when carrying backpack (does not matter in which slot).

This setting is controlled by BACKPACKWEIGHT_LOWERS_AP.

As of r6413, mercenaries can now walk in formations when more than one of them is selected. If this option is on and you have selected multiple mercs, they will try to keep their relative distance to each other when arriving at their target location.

http://i39.tinypic.com/wba2b5.jpg
We order a movement command...

http://i40.tinypic.com/1570u4y.jpg
... and the mercs keep their relative positions.

Note that due to different walking speed, they might not be in formation when walking, but will be once they arrive. Should the location a merc should walk to be inaccessible (rocks/trees/other people), they will instead walk to a nearby tile.

By this, you can order your squad to form whatever formation you want, and then walk while keeping it.

This option can be toggled with [CTRL] + [Shift] + [g].

Revision 6430 (GameDir 1784) contains a new bonus for the Ranger trait.

FIRING_SPEED_BONUS_SHOTGUNS in Skills_Settings.INI is a percentage reduction in APs to fire a shotgun.

The default is 10 (possible values: 0 to 45). It's supposed to make the trait and shotguns a little more useful and gives shotguns a bonus that the other weapon proficiencies already have.

Alot of changes, but hopefully nobody will notice the difference Wink

-SGP debugging now works again (corrected some typos and one missing include).
-Memmory debugging works again (wrong types corrected)
-Laptop screen heigth macro and all references is now usable. (was 'C: y + A' 'D: B - C' which translates to 'D: B - y + A' instead of 'D: B - y - A')
-Laptop screens do not need to rerender as often then before as the laptop screen width/heigth macros works now and invalidating screen will do the trick -> almost no render calls neccessary.
-MercProfile.ubMiscFlag was used instead of .ubMiscFlag2 -> enter sector action schedule for soldiers which dont need to be insertered is now canceled as intended.does it solve the long delay on entering sector via tactical? probably not, but something is now working (differently) Embarrassed

-CHECKF(AddVideoObject(&VObjectDesc, &guiMAPINV));
+CHECKF(AddVideoObject(&VObjectDesc, &guiMAPINV));

guiPOPUPTEX is used by popups, so uncommenting lines #8485 and #13262 will probably not work. Just leave it as a known issue I guess.

I just added three new modifiers to Ja2_Options.ini:

ADMIN_EQUIPMENT_QUALITY_MODIFIER = 0
REGULAR_EQUIPMENT_QUALITY_MODIFIER = 0
ELITE_EQUIPMENT_QUALITY_MODIFIER = 0

These work just like the modifiers for militia item quality and will improve/worsen enemy item quality. Set these to 10 for a hard landing in Arulco. Wink

Changes have been added to exe revision 6535 and GameDir 1844.
