Playing the 1.13/UC hybrid at the moment and it's great!

There are just a few things I haven't quite figured out yet:

- how do I get rid of dirt in weapons (which I think is a horrible pointless feature just to add more micro management)? even when I use the colt cleaning kit it sometimes repairs the gun (but makes it worse in some cases!) but it doesn't get rid of the dirt...

- is there a way I can give orders to mobile milita, i.e. attack this sector etc.?

- where is tony? I met him the first time round and my history log says he's in sector C5 but I wanted to visit him during the daytime and I can't find him? he was in that top right building I recall?

- I found some grenade launchers that enemies dropped, and they also carried grenades but I can't load them when I'm trying to use the launchers...

- shift+b drops all the heavy backpacks - but isn't there a shortcut to make the mercs automatically pick them up again after combat?

- that whole colt/AR15/twisted barrel/half a real weapon modification goes above my ahead... what's the point and could it be done in any easier way?

thanks for the help!

- Use CTRL+. to invoke screen which is used to clean guns. To clean every gun in team you need to have cleaning kit with every merc. You can disable dirt via .ini.

- No. You can call reinforcements at beginning of attack.

- CTRL+SHIFT+f unload guns, remove attachment and pickups backpacks.

- Twisted barrels are used to transform .223 into 5.56x45mm. One of the NPCs will give tip to raid cheap .223 based weapons from Danubian forces and hints about twisted barrel locations.

thanks IoP!

two more things I'm still having trouble with:

- I've got the GDI decoder attached to the laptop but I can't read the diskette I found with Mike (and where is Agent X anyway?). How do I use the diskette with the laptop?

- This guy in Sheraton who sold me the Hummer said he'd provide me with free petrol if he has any. How do I get it when I talk to him? How do I know if he actually has any?

AFAIR there are some fake diskettes. What you have in hand is probably a fake.

Not every diskette has some crucial data in it. Maybe what mike carrying was an old ms-dos 6.22 boot disk.

Tony is not always at home. You can change that in your "Ja2_Options.INI" if you want. Look for a parameter called "CHANCE_TONY_AVAILABLE". The default is 80 (percent). If you want him available all the time set this to 100. IIRC this is only processed once per game day so don't expect him to show up immediately. Wink
