Arulco Vacations
a mod for JA2 v1.13 r7435 b7609
Arulco Vacations is an overhaul mod of the JA2v1.13 mod, which is an overhaul mod of JA2. AV started out as an innocent tweak, and grew into the monster that wrecked havoc across 4 states. Basically, it is a vacation from the vanilla linear game play, and includes everything I can fit into it. I borrow heavily from past mods - ideas, graphics (I'm terrible at graphics), and have had contributions from many JA2 modders and players who have done things better than I could have. Anything I'd like to see in a game that I play . . . is what AV is: a version of JA2 I want to sit down and play for 3 months or so before modding it some more. Now that this release is out, that's exactly what I'm going to do. <fingers crossed>
* Enhanced and enlarged gear kits for all named characters
* All maps re-designed for v12
* Many new items & weapons
* Re-designed picklists for Enemy Weapons & Items
* The Queen has new priorities
* More garrisons and new garrison compositions
* Re-designed patrols and patrol routes
* Revamped Sector Coolness ratings system
* Revised Item Coolness ratings system
* New A.I.M. character available for recruitment
* New M.E.R.C. characters available for recruitment
* More recruitable characters in-country
* More interactive shopkeepers
* New Character Backgrounds
* Greatly enhanced original Character Backgrounds
* More money to begin your regime change efforts
* More Facility Types
* Improved original Facility Types
* More Facilities on-map
* Modified Morale & Reputation system allows hit-and-run & raid tactics
* Detailed Militia profiles with Skills
* Refashioned Town Loyalty design
* Expanded Morale & Loyalty system
* lots more things --
-- so get ready for a fun vacation in a war zone!
YOUR MISSION: Overthrow an evil dictator, meet interesting people and have a little fun in the sun. Basically the same as the vanilla game, just more of everything.
YOUR TEAM: You and your squad of professional mercenaries possess the training and equipment to carry out your mission-- and some of you might even survive.
THE ENEMY: The army opposing you is as well prepared for war as you are. Their weapons and strengths will match or exceed yours. Do not underestimate them.
Arulco Vacations is designed to be used with a clean install of JA2 1.12 with the stable v1.13 r7435 b7609 installed on top of it.
If you have the unofficial r7769 patch you can install that after the b7609 install -- but it is not necessary so don't worry about it.
Using any other release, build or update is done at your own risk. I have not tested this with any other release, build or update.
Arulco Vacations v12
Install Directions
It is designed to work with r7609. It will not work with the development builds.
The Step-by-Step Instructions for a Clean Install
1) Install Jagged Alliance 2 v1.12
2) Install JA2 v1.13 Full Release 7435, overwriting all files.
3) Install JA2 v1.13 Update 7609 for Release 7435, overwriting all files.
4) Run the zPatch.bat file found in the main game folder.
5) Extract Arulco Vacations v12 VFS Install Package, overwriting the ja2.ini file.
6) Download the latest release of Sevenfm's +AI executable and place in your main game folder.
7) Create a desktop launcher icon for Arulco Vacations pointing to the "ja2_7609en+AI" executable, and using the included AV icon in the main game folder.
. . .
8) Start game, enjoy, kick ass.
The Default Game Option Settings included in Arulco Vacations are what is used when I mod and play, and what AV is designed around. Please set these up as you like when you start a new game. I use the latest +AI executable from Sevenfm as I play and mod, and I highly recommend following his updates on that project.
Ten (10) IMP voice sets are on by default, 5 Male & 5 Female

Version 1.04 of Arulco Vacations for JA2 v1.13 r7435b7609 is ready for download!
Arulco Vacations v1.04 is a massive tweak of JA2v1.13. v1.03 brought all new gearkits for all named characters, new maps, new items, new Enemy picklists, new priorities for the Queen, new garrisons, new patrols, new Sector Coolness ratings, new item Coolness ratings, a new A.I.M. character, more cash to begin with, new Facility Types, new Morale & Reputation system, new Character Backgrounds, all old Character Backgrounds greatly enhanced, more Facilities on-map, and more of lots of things. v1.04 adds enhancements to the new backgrounds, adds more new backgrounds for your I.M.P., adds a major enhancement to the relationships of every named character, adds more new maps and enhancements to previous maps, extends Kingpin's area of operations outside of San Mona, connects the gun smugglers to Tony as part of his operation, extends the Hick family to have 'cousins' in Cambria, has the terrorist Jasmin recruit his own militia brings medics, mechanics and radio operators to the Arulcan Army, adds food and other civilian items to all the new town maps, gives new battle orders to the Arulcan Army, adds a new female I.M.P portrait (the Wildfire "Ira as I.M.P." portrait), adds 76 new sector loadscreens (most of them done by my graphic artist friend, D.G.) upgrades many of the NPCs, and much more! There are a lot more strategic decisions to be made by the player -- get ready for a vacation in a war zone!
Use a clean install of JA2 1.12 with the stable v1.13 r7435 b7609 installed on top of it, and v1.04 of Arulco Vacations installed over all of that (overwriting all files). If you have the unofficial r7769 patch you can install that after the b7609 install -- but it is not necessary so don't worry about it. Using any other release, build or update is done at your own risk. I have not tested this with any other release, build or update.
AV v1.04 is available from the download page of the Arulco Vacations blog.

4th & 5th Female I.M.P. Voice Pack
Thanks go out to "merc05" for creating these voice packs! Arulco Vacations uses them as the 4th and 5th Female I.M.P. voices. One has a slight British accent, and the other has a Eastern European accent. They occupy the slots previously assigned to the 6th and 7th Male (Russian) voices. If you are using the 6th or 7th Male voice in your game, or you have modified Ja2_Options.INI, MercOpinions.XML, Backgrounds.XML or MercProfiles.XML then this Add-On will break your save game (and change the above-mentioned .XML files). If you are not using the 6th or 7th Male voice and you have not modified Ja2_Options.INI, MercOpinions.XML, Backgrounds.XML or MercProfiles.XML then you can use this Add-On without problems. Simply extract the files into your main game folder, overwriting all files. If you want to save the 6th and 7th Male voice set then read the Add-Ons page for more info.
With this voicepack add-on Arulco Vacations now has 5 male and 5 female voices for I.M.P. creation. This voicepack is available on the Downloads page of the Arulco Vacations blog.
Once again, Thank you "merc05"!!!
P.S. as a bonus, a slightly updated EDT file for Hector Alvarez is included -- just a simple spelling fix for his speech bubbles.
