In other words.....You want a new game?

Is there any interest in organizing the item IDs in the XML Editor to fit more appropriately?

Such as all the pistols are grouped together, then shotguns, then rifeles, ect?

New Question 2:

2: If this is done, will this crash the game in any way? Like, do certain things HAVE to be certain IDs to function? I understand that all item selections for EVERYTHING would need to be changes to reflect the newly signed ID #'s. But, seriously, is there any interest in that at all? If I do it, will anyone actually care?

Why would you want to do that? I'll admit that I'm not all that savvy so I don't know exactly what would be possible to accomplish then, that's not already possible now. All that I can see that it'd lead to is that it'd be easier to find stuff in the Map Editor. The XML Edtior can already order things in a variety of ways by simply clicking on the tab you want stuff sorted by. Sorting weapons by Weapon Type would for example only take a simple click on the correct tab.

Smeagol used an identification rework by alphabetical tags in the XML editor. There are loads of stuff that were not reworked because the original items mod was added too through many different modders.

cant hope for something big (like using Crysis engine for ja2, duh) so i'd go with new attachment and detailed magazine system.

this is just what i've been thinkin:
1. weapons are no longer restricted to their magazine, so magazine capacity varies based on the magazine you insert INTO the magwell (a specific area in the new attachment system), in another word the magazine is an attachment as well;

2. detailed magazine's gonna be like keychain, right click, and you find each individual cartridges it contains and switch them around. for example, for linked ammo belt you can set up for tracer, ball x 4 then tracer; for shotgun, you may go for lockbuster then 00 buck x 4, etc etc. you may do this mannually or with certain key combo.

if that's too far fetched, my second choice will be big maps....scale up the current map so each tread is no longer 10 meters.

thinking of it, if we could just get all the projects and features done that already have been started and planned out, there probably wouldn

What does that mean? He ordered the game to resort items based on alphabetical properties when running, but the XML was untouched?

i know something like this must already be in the code in a rudimentary state, but could use some reworking and expanding. and i know we do have the necessary coding expertise here to do this.

Blowing up generators to disable automated defense systems (Turrets, alarms, etc)
Burning grass and trees to eliminate cover (Perhaps with the fire spreading randomly)

don't know if it can be seen from this animation, but i throw a grenade into the high grass, parts of the grass catch fire and the grass is destroyed, other parts continue burning but are not destroyed. In the next turns, the fire would spread. This is now on a small scale, on a large scale, it could be all sorts of awesome.

learn AI to react on dead bodies

i wish see in ja2 1.13 -some sci-fi weapons from doom universe maybe be great,there is some good stuff

i do not know if this is possible but one really nice feature could be getting attacks from parachuting enemies
