@Hawkeye,

no idea about my ESC-Error above?

I made a fresh installation (Ja2Gold1.12 + VR full), but the same if I tried to engage new mercs during the game.

Because of this I load a savegame in the version bevore and tried to engage mercs from AIM or MERC during the game for the first time in the test: ESC-Error!

Taurus CT-30 is a bit weird. It is classed as a SMG, but has only single fire mode. It should probably either have full auto or be reclassified as some kind of carbine rifle (probably has full auto capability from 10 seconds spent on google ). Also it has damage value of 36 while other .30car weapons have damage value of 29, so that should probably be same-ish.

Edit: CT-40 seems similar, single fire only SMG with damage 31 which is also probably too high. So might be more of those Taurus SMGs.

Maybe it is not a bug per se, but my kid asked why Miguel has a rifle while he is imprisoned?

I have a feeling that's fixed already in the SVN.

Cannot there again...

@Hawkeye,

as to my problem above: Perhaps this will help to resolve?

I played now inventory/attachment old/old,

Ja2_options.ini: READ_PROFILE_DATA_FROM_XML = TRUE (Henning etc. are now mercs.)

No problem!

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but I did both a forum search and google search and couldn't find it.

It appears as though weapons aren't being delivered by BR, i've got my settings so that shipments won't be stolen, and I get things like attachments, armour and ammo but I've ordered a couple of guns but they haven't turned up, is there a setting anyone is aware of to change this so I can get my weapons as I'm not playing on drop all and a certain someone in my team would be real happy with the shorty shotgun.

; Should the stealing from shipments (in Drassen this is Pablo) be disabled?
STEALING_FROM_SHIPMENTS_DISABLED = TRUE

; Set the chance in percentage of whole shipment lost from Bobby Ray
CHANCE_OF_SHIPMENT_LOSS = 0

Thanks Sevenfm, but as I said I already have my settings set to TRUE and 0% chance of shipment loss.

I don't know the code mechanics of shipment stealing so maybe it's just one of the numerous 1.13 bugs.
In my games with these settings shipments worked correctly.

I better put it in here, item choices get really wonky. Im now at 86/86 Progression and attacking an sector with elite guys and i noticed that the guys not wearing any armor.. ???
Heres a picture of a sector i assaulted before with unselled loot:

As you can see the Equipment is pretty crap. The weapons are crap too.
And now here too:

This cant be intended right? In this rate i never will find any AEKs or ANs.

Is this only with my game? Do i have something to check? Camo is not working, i had it since the beginning but never mentioned it

I see on your picture several NVG's, spectra armour and high level weapons.
Have no idea what are you talking about.
If soldier has no armour, someone should check his settings on the map.
Enemy soldiers have all kinds of armour and other equipment in their inventory tables.
Enemy gun progression is based on real world, so there will be no AEKs or ANs, it's not stock 1.13.
In the next release you will be able to buy AEK guns from BR and you should be able to buy many rare guns from Tony in actual release, including AEKs and ANs.

1 Spectra Vest? 4 NVGs? 6 ExEars? For 24 Elites? Shouldnt Elite guys at least wear Kevlar Vests? They are clearly underequipped...

Well the problem is that i have the feeling that the enemys dont even try to stop me.

Most likely a map problem - bad soldier settings or equipment. Have to wait for Hawkeye to review soldier's at map.
Option SOLDIERS_ALWAYS_WEAR_ANY_ARMOR is enabled in VR, so any enemy should have at least some helmet/vest/pants.
As for NVG numbers, the game decides randomly when to give NVG to soldier unless the soldier is manually given equipment by map maker.

Why do you have that feeling? Enemy is not shooting at you?

About the secret sectors:

N16 was pretty surprising though as i scouted this sector with my Spy In those 4 sectors all soldiers should be equipped with top tier gear (NVGs, Headset etc..). I killed 1 Elite in N16 to get his uniform, he had a rocket rifle (Finally some "Higher Tier Weapons" ) but also no armor, so i guess the whole sector is also like the others

I sorted the items so the item count dropped from 1392 to 1271

ARMOR! But the guys here only dropped HP Ammo and FINALLY some RPKs and 5.45 (HP;() (All weapons were loaded with AP, but i mentioned already few posts in the past

Well i guess you can put it like that big grin they dont wear armor and i one shoot them with purple ammo and silenced p90 big grin Its easy that way becouse only a few soldiers have ExEars & NVGs, so they dont see each other in the night.
