Is it VIP text written under question sign on Balaime sector? I think it will be better If it is on Top of everything.

You know that you can toggle the troop display on and off, right? So no, it stays the way it is.

I know now that it could never work between us, as much as we wanted to, it could never be! Not because you're a rabbit, but because you're black.

If you want, you can donate to me. This will not affect how and what I code, and I will not code specific features in return. I will be thankful though.

could you please specify how to do that?

If I click show militia/enemy (Z button) text goes under ? sign. Same happens if I click Show Teams& Enemies (T button). Look at previous screenshot. If i do not click anything text disappears. see below

Hmm. Apparently that does not work. I guess I should play this game again sometime happy

Anyway, won't change it. This feature and thus the logo might get a revamp, but given my current speed that is likely more years than months away.

I bet the question mark is a .sti file or a frame of a .sti, after all its from vanilla.

If so 1st workaround is change the questionmark to something which does not cover VIP marker that much,
2nd workaround is to change vip marker to something which is recognizeable with questionmark on top,
although i would not bet as much that also the vip marker is a .sti

Would it be possible to add second chances with generals? Like they'd go to another enemy controlled town the first time they escape, then Meduna the second time.

My ideal implementation would be generals that flee to unique heavily defended bases. So, you can still take them out before Meduna, but you're going to have to go through a very tough battle. Obviously an insane amount of work, but a man can dream.

I guess i found an error.

In a sector where a general is present, there are always four elites as bodyguards created during initialization, no matter how ENEMY_GENERALS_BODYGUARDS_NUMBER is set in the ja2_options.ini file. As one can see at the bottom of game init.cpp, there are some of these lines:

SectorInfo[vipspawnsector].ubNumElites += 5;

One elite for the general himself and four for his bodyguards, which is the default value. ENEMY_GENERALS_BODYGUARDS_NUMBER apparently only refers to the number of elites that follow a general around in the sector. I guess that is not intentional, and the ini value was created after the init function was coded.

When bodyguards are assigned the game will only assign up to the number defined by ENEMY_GENERALS_BODYGUARDS_NUMBER. So if ENEMY_GENERALS_BODYGUARDS_NUMBER is 2 for example we'll only have two bodyguards.
However we will still have 2 additional elites that shouldn't be there and have nothing to do. If ENEMY_GENERALS_BODYGUARDS_NUMBER is greater than 4 we may not have enough elites to assign as bodyguards. Yes this isn't good. Fixed in r8680.

Tested a lot with different items mods or difficulties or map mods (wildfire for example)this feature.And i want to say this feature kind of broken.Because each battle where those generals appear during fights their turns freezed and they do not do anything so only ESC helps.
It happens a lot during first landing in omerta in a9,and in other sectors as well where they appear.
