1.13 version will be reasonabley soon (much better all round). I will also release second version of the 1.07 maps only, without the factions so much (but what would I call it then?).

1.13 SoG'69 Hybrid is what's eating my time right now; guess I'll park it for a few days.

@ Will Gates: impatiently waiting for your 1.13 version!

in the meantime, some more observations:

why do the armed civilians get hostile in the night, even if you were in the sector for the whole day and eliminated all enemys? and in other sectors, where you have full control and own militia, they don

Will you said you needed the feedback. Didnt have too much time with it though:(

1.Experienced a nasty tearing sound upon arrival( only heard it once but I thought my soundcard smoked away:))

2.The civiliand are ok, but tend to play "catch" with the bullets:)

3. 800x600 I cant wait for that

4. Are the South American guns gonna fit in the 1.13 chaos?

5. Lol Mauser, you are getting guns dropped? I have only seen ammo dropped in Omerta:), looks like the handtohand and steal comes into play yet once again:)

Great mod Will! Will this be compatible with dbb mod Im currently using with 1.13?

@ Wolf00: Error? Please explain a little more fully, thanks. Like to make it as good as I can.

I'll make update of all maps this weekend. I have decided to put all factions in locked rooms etc so it's up to you to let them out or not; couldn't get rid of them entirely as they are half the point after all.

Ah I see. Go shopping at B-Rays for extended descriptions...

Mauser: as Hans would say "always ze same story, nothing but komplaints". But seriously; Cows coz they ammuse me. I'd like a greater selection of creatures but my animation skills aren't good enough.

Apart from magnetic factions is it a thumbs up or a thumbs down?

Hmmm - seems like I'm getting a different experience than Mauser - So far I have conquered Drassen, Chitzena, Grumm, half of Cambria and 3 sam sites (and one special cache). So far only Grumm mine has had repeated counterattacks - Drassen was only attacked once by 8 soldiers which the militia just handled with no losses - each sam site has also only been attacked once (I'm at day 49 - so I'm slow). Armed factions have mobbed around me, but apart from one group going hostile at night, none of the others shows any hostility at any time (unless I attack them of course). Am I missing something?

@Mauser
Are you getting major counterattacks and large scale conflicts?

@ Olddog: no, not really. was waiting for a couple of days at central SAM for enemy forces to attack, but all that happened, was that multiple patrols just stacked at the sector below and sat there for over a week. the sector is now populated by maximum number of enemys.

i am currently circling around them, trying to attack from below and removing this threat for good.

i had a couple of normal attacks on drassen mine and on chitzena, but noting the militia couldn

I had a strange experience in Grumm Mine - was training militia and moved a new merc into the sector. As soon as I went into the sector My training mercs were spotted and all the civilian including the mine manager attacked. After a reload I trained up my militia to help with the inevitable battle only to discover that only 2 civilians attacked, both dispatched by militia and now I can move about that sector night and day with no problems.

Mauser; if I recall rightly you started your game on Novice? I never tested on that setting. The mod is designed for experienced and expert in the 1.07. In the 1.13 Novice is great fun and everything happens as it should. Also as you started the game without my binary data you are missing a lot of the sense I tried to create in places and the confusion I deliberately sowed in others. You would need to start new game to see it all properly... to which scroll up a bit for link to fixed maps.

Factions are either stood stationary where appropriate, in a locked building or some other form of blocking device; or as far away from the likely action as possible. There are a few exceptions but for the most part they are out of your hair so to speak. Improves pace of combat some. Also removed are the flare mines at doors and a few other "doh" traps. Minor adjustments to this and that.

& in answer to an earlier question why is the enemy at A9 Omerta half asleep. It's a balance thing the game does all by itself and i'd rather it didn't but there you are. It feels 12 enemies is too much for the player so softens them up automatically... you can set their health but not their energy levels and that is the bit the game reduces typically. Again in 1.13 this is not so much a problem as the balance is higher anyway especially on Insane vs. Queens Pool of 4800 & upwards.

Basically in 1.07 a number of patrols are missing because there are 10 or so sectors which have a garrison which didn't before. You notice it more on the easier settings that's all. Not a problem in 1.13 for the obvious reasons.

Stand by for upgrade. I'm about to upload small 1.22mb Upgrade.
Features:
2 new Exe's (Queen's Offensive & Defensive Queen), both have counterattacks working properly!
3 new Map.Bin's (Novice, Normal, Expert)
4 better maps (I hope I have cured the sleepy guards of Omerta effect)

Probably best to keep a copy of original download exe & map.bin in a folder called "just in case" or something but I'm 96% sure the new stuff works fine.

Downloads of MFM 1.07 just went to 100. Slightly less uptake of the fixed maps and upgrade. I'm also happy with general response so far. Keep playing JA-heads!

Now closer to 300. I am pleased. Been enjoying playing the damn thing at last too. 1.07 Expert; Queen's Offensive; & only just holding on. Playing Novice on 1.13 koz I'm still not used to the slightly smarter enemies. Both better than I'd hoped kids. But now is the time to say goodbye. I leave this job (& e-mail address) on friday & that will be that for a while. I've had a blast. Also time for credits whether you want them or not. The following people helped in no particular order and in varying degrees from in depth "how to" stuff and good advice all the way through to simple encouragement and enthusiasm (when it's all going wrong this is vital so don't knock it!).

Ramfall. Rudedog. The Scorpion. Khorr1966. Bearpit himself. T-Bird. MM. Scooly. Len552. Lalien. Lynx (RIP). Lockie. Willywonka. JJeffrey. An anonymous guy (his choice). Various others sorry if I've lost your tags. There's no such thing as a truely solo effort. Thank you all.

It's not totally permanent I hope. I'll be back. Just don't know when etc. As for real life stuff; it's all for the best reasons. I have a great new girl. Great new job starting soon. Moving back to my favourite town where many of my friends still live. It's all positive. The only negative is the ability to see my kids as ex-wife refuses to meet me half way to exchange them. Will mean a lot of driving for me but will be worth it. It's the begining of a new age. (well for me anyway)

It's an attitude I've arrived at best summed up by an old quote from somewhere and is at the crux of what real democracy & debate should be.

"I strongly disagree with everything you are saying; but I'd fight to the death for your right to say it."

Marko: you need everything I made for 1.07, various updates and then the 1.13 conversion download. Sorry it is a complicated procedure but it was the only way. All tilesets and similar (maps, npc stuff) are in the 1.07 download. Simply copy the files you need into 1.13 data area. Some err "basic" instructions included with 1.13 conversion set. If still stuck get back to me.

Hello Will

Correct me if I'm wrong:

1. install original ja2
2. install ja2 v1.13
3. install ja2 mfm
4. install fixed files
OK

But i have one problem with my install CD ja2 GOLD. I can't start because some files of TILESETS folder are missing. It is possible to get that files (whole TILESETS folder of original ja2 GOLD).
my email:herba222@yahoo.com

or anybody elese

This doesn't look right to me. You will need install mfm over your GOLD. Add the various fixes etc.

Then Install 1.13 over a different copy of GOLD. Add the various MFM bits you need from 1.07 (not everything by any means). Then add the last stuff in the 1.13 conversion kit. Remember to also copy the alarm sound file over as I forgot to include it in the 1.13 release.

I'm think I'm confused now. If I ever do more work on this mod I will make a 100% stand alone 1.13 version.

You can run MFM in Normal JA2 or 1.13; the choice is yours.
In normal JA2 version you get a few toys which don't appear in the 1.13 version.
However in the 1.13 version you get the unlocked militia in Omerta; Estoni; San Mona etc.

I also made a version of the mod for the old Russian 800x600 exe but never released it as it was maps and characters stuff only... there weren't any complex editors that worked with it which was a shame koz otherwise it would have been my chosen format.
