I threw together Smoke's battlesounds. Nothing too fancy.

Also, I've finally completed Doc Koolhan's voicepack. He was tricky because he had two different voice actors for JA and JA:DG. The pack includes speech, battlesounds, and an edt file. http://www.mediafire.com/?3me8t5319w1wxwl
I'd appreciate any feedback you can give.

Hell... I like it...

only thing still wrong with the pic is maybe the nose. It looks a bit too 2 dimensional if you know what I mean. Compare just the nose to the other noses on the AIM page and you'll probably smell it (ehhh.... "see it"... damn too many noses in one sentence).

Hi everyone.
Can someone do all types of Camo faces for the JADG Mercs for this project?

Hi everyone.

The original Camo Faces were made with GIMP by Jazz. I have all the original GIMP template files if someone is interested and if it helps in any way. Just PM me.

I use GIMP. If your templates have still the layers (project file xcf format), then it will be child's play to do the deadly games camo faces

@dimitri: you should update the following 3 files in your MOD with those files from svn game dir, because your files are out of date:
https://ja2svn.dyndns.org/source/ja2_v1.13_data/GameDir/Data-1.13/TableData/MercStartingGear.xml

Thanks. But after I copy\paste this file, my XML Editor crashes everytime.
Have no idea.

Flugente mentioned this problem with coordinates on IRC a couple weeks ago... at least IIRC it was Flugente, if not then my apologies...

Anyway, you need to start a new game for the coordinates to be picked up properly.

You have to use the latest XML Editor from SVN GameDir. Than it works fine.

No way.
Crashes to desktop

Maybe you have added some new weapons to the game or something like that?

Also try these;
1. Delete "XMLworkingdata" folder
2. Delete JA2data.xsd
3. Clean install
4. (Re)install .net 4.0 framework.

And a question:
Can we add more new IMPs faces to the roster?
Not replace, but adding new ones.

fuck this...
I spent 2 hours with this editors.

What did you exactly change in your IMPPortraits.XML file?

@ Dimi: I didn't overwrite an existing entry in the IMPPortraits.XML but added a new one:

		20
		220

I've uploaded my file from my short test. So best check it out if it works for you now:

@Dimitri
The "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" is almost always an error in the xml file. Last file to be loaded is the MercStartingGear.xml so you'll have to either check it yourself to find what is wrong, or upload it somewhere and let us take a look at it. Best to upload the whole tabledata folder, so if there are any other files with problems, we can find them. I may be able to take a look at it tomorrow, but not sure I'll have the time.
The error is almost always the inclusion of an item id that doesn't exist in the items.xml, though it might be possible to encounter the same thing with a merc id that doesn't exist, though I think that is much more difficult to accomplish.

Yes. Thanks for the answer.
I'm thinking so too.
RoWa21 has given me some new files from snv, and I'm sure that there are some items added in his new versions, I don't know exactly, items that I don't have on my clean version, so the XLM editor crashes. New kind of weapons maybe.
Because I've just tested it on my old files - everything is okay.

@RoWa21, if there are new weapons added or other itmes, please send them to me. Without it I can't launch the MercStartingGear file...

There's also an SCI from yesterday that includes all the stuff if you prefer those.

Is it just my impression or does this mod reduce the AIM alumni pages too? I think I remember Snake dying for instance. If so, can someone tell me if it's possible to revert these changes and remove these mercs? I liked reading that page and no offense meant to the creators of this mod or anything but I never use any of the non-ja2gold-ub mercenaries, not even the wildfire ones and in fact I don't even like seeing them in the roster as it makes it less convenient for me to browse to the one I want, particularly at MERC. Again this is just my personal preference, other than that kudos to the makers for a job well done.

sure you can hide any of the merc you don't like from AIM or MERC by editing the AIMAvailable.xml and the MercAvailable.xml file in the data-13\tabledata folder.
there is also an xml file where you can show the missing merc from the alumni site.
