i have my iov_929 instaled on rev 7616,this ver have trouble with specific magazines,excample 9mm 32 round magazine[gun not relase magazine],also this is outdated for today svn builds,my hope is if devolopers of iov mod have some trumpf card in their hats ...

As edmortimer pointed on his webpage bug with ammo mags ocurs because ammo must be sorted by numbers in item.xml! So that means that 9x19 32 mag size must have id number something like 356 not 2526! Tested myself with trevor using Owen mk.I gun, gun or mag not disappearin, an it can normaly load or unload! Only solution is to edit items.xml file and correct mags id!

Not in items.xml, but id's in magazines.xml should be sorted.

IoV 929 works only with 7609.

For 4870, you need IoV 925 which uses it's own exe

Any instructions on how to correctly install IoV 929? I have JA2 1.13 7609 installed, i downloaded the iov 929 data folder, pasted it into the JA2 folder, but i don't know what to do next? This folder you guys shared is just the data folder, there's no vfs configs or anything, is it supposed to be like that? I have no clue if just copying iov data folder to game folder and starting ja2.exe is it, or do i have to do something else? This is incredibly confusing.

If you are using clean 7609, it should be enough to unpack iov 929 at your Data-1.13 folder, overwriting everything.
Warning: there are bugs with magazines in this mod, for example 9x19 32 rnd magazines don't work properly.
This is fixed in new Ja2+AI release (which is not available yet for public testing).
This mod will work even with stock 7609 ja2.exe, but there will be bugs like disappearing weapons.

Oh ok, wasn't aware that you had to overwrite the files in the data 1-13 folder.

Are the bugs game breaking or is it possible to complete the game with them?

Also what magazines make the guns disappear and how?

The mod should replace some default files or it will not work.

Should be possible with regular saves and avoiding broken items.

As far as I know, at least 9x19 32rnd magazines are broken, also some players reported crash when using some lockbuster ammo.

This mod is early beta and is not supported by developers, so it's all for your own risk, don't expect much help from 1.13 community if something goes wrong.

Thank you for all your support. I've got a couple more questions though, if you don't mind. Is there a way to see the list of all the guns of 1.13+ IoV 929? My xml editor gives ma a string error when i try to use it after copying iov files to data1.13. I usually checked the amount of guns by going to the bigitems folder and looking at the guns files but that probabaly doesn't show them all
