Hi, I was wondering if anybody managed to get AR to run alongside with any of the last 'Increased Team Size Mod' releases.

I tried 'JA2_increasedteamsizes_r8234' + 'SCI_Unstable_Revision_8218_on_GameDir_2321', but the adventure ends in the rebel basement where the conversation refuses to trigger if AR is enabled - the game gets stuck at that point.

Hope this is the right place to ask.

Where did you find AR1.4 1.1 patch? I can't seem to find it.

edit.

Found it: http://kermi.pp.fi/JA_2/Mods_v1.13/Arulco_Revisited/v1.4/Stable_Release_2014/Patches/CVB/

Are you sure this works all the way? This is for stable release of 1.13.

Hi Sam, I would have posted links but since I'm a noob forum member I wasn't allowed to.

I can't say I'm sure ''all the way'' because I only spent a few hours testing and then I got distracted by something else ...

I was testing with instant win cheats so currently can't really make a statement about tactical combat mechanics...

What I did test successfully so far:

I've met up with the rebels in their basement and then unlocked Tony (with previous versions tested I would get stuck in the rebel basement/script not kicking in; none of the Tony Quest NPCs would even spawn). Was pretty exciting to see Tony offer some new items.

After cheating some $$$ and checking Manuel + Maddog are in the AR locations there was an excursion to Alma. I remember I would have to fix Manuel/Maddog/Pablo + Bobby Ray mechanics by editing files manually so this should be the AR patches working correctly. I always have an urge to disable the stat 'devolution' on Larry and Moses and set it to 'none' in 1.13....

Some time and an enemy General were killed while waiting for about 50+ MERCs to arrive and then everybody hated each other 'cos I forgot to disable dynamic relationships. If dynamic relationships work - that means more new 'trunk additions'/mechanics/etc are available.


***There was one glitch, but I think it is not related to this mod combo install - the advance time function stopped working. I had only one merc squad in Arulco at that point; the party was traveling between zones. IIRC I entered an empty sector view wanting to change something in an inventory not thinking about the party zoning. Went back to Arulco map. Advance time stopped working. Saving at that point would make that particular save 'unplayable' as you can't fast forward time. Just reloaded different save.***



Ideally I should have tested more quests/sectors/mechanics before getting 'distracted'... but I was really excited about this and I thought I should share my find at that moment... When I have less things on my mind I definitely wanted to look more into it.

Tried to test a bit more and one thing I notice is that you want to avoid having a lot of Mercs/Teams in one sector in tactical view, as it will most likely crash the game. With 26 Mercs split to 26 teams it would crash after maybe 10 seconds.

Reloaded, made 3 teams and sent out the team of 6. Then tried entering tactical again with 'only' 20 Mercs in the sector and it all seemed to work fine. No big deal imo, but worth knowing.

Also, I think the weather display on strategic map doesn't work, every tile is just always grey cheeky
