No. Do some research before you touch anything, especially if you plan to do it manually instead of using the editor. Saves us all a lot of time an trouble with figuring out what causes the error afterwards.

Hey Smeag, would you consider expanding some firearms on the 8mm mauser ammo? It's lonely having only 3-4 guns using it. Razz

Also, how about a short suggestion threads in the board? Might make things easier when one's suggesting something.

Any proposals for interesting 8mm guns?

Like the idea of breaking up this single general purpose thread btw, gotta see what smeag thinks about it.

Hi, I've been playing AIMNAS for few days now and I have to say that it's awesome!
But few things confuse me:

1) How are laser sights working now? In 1.13 they had some kind of effective range, but now they only have "to hit bonus" ... yet they still have some range effects mentioned in their descriptions (like that rifle LAM should have longer range than the basic ones).

2) Mining income seems bit too high. I have now Drassen, Chitzena and Alma (50% loyalty) and I make 60k each day. It

Long-time lurker finally surfacing to the forum so let's start with "hello everyone" Smile

Then, the obvious: Smeagol - a big THANK YOU for your mod. Simply put, I dropped almost all other games I used to pay since I discovered this piece of beauty.

OK, now something I discovered in this version:
- 40mm mustard gas grenade somehow got type & stats cloned from 40mm stun grenade.
- MG43 and HK 121 both accept trigger groups yet are still marked as "full auto only" so you can't set them burst mode (which part is wrong BTW?)

And finally - anyone has any idea how to make my mercs throw grenades/breaklights at least half as far and precise as militia/army does? Not even to mention throwing them through the windows or over fences... (I have the "high angle" option enabled).

[edit] Okay, first problem solved - I am an idiot apparently. :s

Rephrasing another question: when is the DCA supposed to happen? The first time I had it was right after I conquered Drassen, however, now in the lasts games that did not happen. Also Deidranna only states to send her elites - and I do get a small squad. Need I conquer Drassen as 2nd city to get the massive counter attack. I did notice that as I allow for reinforcements out of town to appear, she uses up two reinforments battalions (though not such great in number as the DCA) when you attack the harbor and/or mine.

Another thing I noticed which I can not explain. I have a IMP Machinegunner. He is equiped with an M4 Ares Strike. I found myself a Bren LMG. The later one has the greater damage and distance, so I added it to his gear and gave it even better attachements than the Ares Strike (as in better laser sight) back peace is of course different and rest the same. Now I have almost 50% chance to hit with the Bren LMG in comparison to the Ares Strike trying to hit something at a distance the better laser sight should work. Any idea what is causing this, as in what am I missing?

Did you check how good your IMP sees? Also remember that CTH is an estimation, as your IMP is a rookie, he doesn't really know if he can hit or not. When they get experience and wisdow they'll know better. Also the best avg laser range modifier is hidden at the moment because of a bug, so you don't know them without looking outside from the game.

Hoi All,

Have a few bugs to report, some may because of AIMNAS but some may not so I will post both locations.

1st bug is regarding Kulba's. I cleared Drassen and set my squad leader by the front gate prior to moving the Kulba's to the gate. At the gate Archie gives his spiel and tells Edith to hand over the cash. At that time the EXP rewards for the quest is handed out an I had four soldiers level, each give a little speech. When they are done Edith goes to the last person who spoke and not the squad leader in front of her. However the last person to level was a sniper on top of the roof so Edith runs around to the sniper and drops the money on the game then the game locks up. I did this twice before since I had a save of the game after I killed the last tango. 3rd time I moved everyone to the ground and Edith was able to give the sniper the money.

2nd bug I feel is because of AIMNAS. I have a Bombardier/Demo guy carrying kevlar helmet and vest, jeans, Colt SMG .45 with 3 clips, M79 with 2 grenade pouches on legs but only nine 4mm grenades and a lock pick, canteen and 1st aid kit. Granted his STR is only 61 but that should not equal him being at 150% carrying capacity.

The reason why I think this one is due to AIMNAS is because he is carrying 4 40mm grenades that turns the M79 into a BlunderBuss Shotgun; shoots pellets short distance instead of launching a grenade. But he has a stun grenade loaded. I was playing with it and fired the stun grenade and when I went to manually reload it with a 40mm HE his carrying capacity dropped to 70% or so. So I tried it again but when I manually loaded the same HE his carrying capacity did not drop.

3rd bug is the game pauses. A lot. It only pauses for 2-4 seconds but when it does the cursor goes away and you can't do anything then the game resets and the cursor reappears and you can continue to play.

Thanks for all of your hard work.

Check this link.

I tried the two different guns from the same position firing at the same enemy. I simply switched the guns and tried this several times. The Bren almost never hits, whereas the Ares Strike hits about 50% or more even, despite the 150% larger range of the Bren LMG.
As he is a rookie I assume him being off with one gun is about the same as the other, but the difference is just too large. And he seems to estimate it pretty close to the real deal (he is lvl 4, wisdom 76 - so certainly no pinpoint accuracy).
Your link leads out to night goggles by the way.

DOH!

I just took a closer look at my Bombardier. His overweight capacity isn't a bug after all. Something that didn't stand out all the other times I looked at him was the weight of the 40mm Shotgun Shot. At a whopping 10.1kg one would question how a gunner would be able to aim the damn thing. Problem solved. Now I need to spread the ammo out.

Taking a look at that... the ammo isn't supposed to weigh that much....

Edit:
Weird... can't find anything wrong with it. Each 40mm buckshot round weighs 0.2kg,at least that's what it says in the xml editor.

Dunno if it is different in older versions or not. Logi posted a pic of the heavy 40mm grenades some time ago.

I double checked and I didn't have 4 of them, I had 3. All in the right leg harness, 1 on one upper pouch and 2 in the 2nd upper pouch. Pouch holds 8 nades total. Two pouches, one per leg, 16 possible nades.

For XML-Editor, open XMLEditorInit.xml and change Data-1.13 to Data-AIM

For the MercProfileEditor, it's File->Choose Directory. If it doesn't want to load the first time, copy the required files from Data-1.13 to Data-AIM and try again.

Hoi Chummers,

Found a bug again with the 40mm Buckshot. First I can't manually load the 40mm Buckshot to the M79 GL. The work around this is to use the mouse icon to fire, if it is empty then it will take the 'next' round, trick is to make sure the 40mm BS is in the 'next' slot.

The real bug happened when I tried to manually load the 40mm BS repeatedly into the M79 then I tried to load a 40mm Stun Grenade, each time I got the IMP saying cool or whatever indicating that I loaded but neither round loaded.

I was doing this in the Strategic map and next called up the Laptop (wasn't sure what some of the STOMP traits were) and correlating to where the M79 loaded out screen was, on the laptop screen there was a highlighted 40mm Buckshot round. I clicked onto it and it immediately Crashed To Desktop.

I don't know if it matters but I was playing this from a USB-stick on a little Atom powered Netbook (just to see if it worked and how stable since my twin is taking the USB-stick back with him to Zona).

Thanks,

Eastwoodaen
