@Arulcish Lion,
I am on the point of winning the last sector for the second time.
I have opened every chest and desk.
But I have only two mortar shells again,
one in sector E 5/34 (ca. 50 %!) and the other in sector B 4/3.
I made every sector in order to find more mortar shells.
but in vain.
You should change this IMO in a patch!
I have beside this two laws, one out of a chest and the
other after a fight.

@Arulcish Lion,
You are glad that I am here again?
Fan is a fan of this mod!
And I am pleased that you are moving and a new patch is released.
A question:
I'm able to get Boss after winning 28 or D 9 (laboratory), after 9 sectors.
I ever try to recruit the better mercs at any time in this mod. But so early now.
You have changed this or this is an error of mine, isn't it?
In any case I'm happy.
Another question:
You have changed some maps but not the sectors b1-b3 or c1-c3.
There is a sector where I am placed with my mercs at a small
spot beside a wall and one small, small opening in it,
occupied by the enemy, with mines layed out ( ? ),
perhaps C 3?
Very, very hard job even in NOVICE. I have to heal my mercs over more than one day.
In one game Jack dismissed me.
No change?! P. E.:At this time in the game I wish to
have more mercs than 12!

Quote:You are glad that I am here again? Yes, of cause.
It's a pleasure to see that there are players of our mode. 
Quote:You have changed this or this is an error of mine, isn't it? We didn't change this in last patches. Hiring mercs is connected with the game progress. It's not related to capturing current sectors, but (as I'm right) with a number of sectors, quests complete and enemies killed. I think it might be about 10 sectors per one level of hiring mercs, but I'm not sure.
Quote:Very, very hard job even in NOVICE. I have to heal my mercs over more than one day.
In one game Jack dismissed me.
No change?! Yes, it isn't easy. Maybe there where changes, but they didn't make it easier.
We won't change sectors heavily, cause we like them to be like in JA1.
Jack can dismiss you if the temp of the war is too low, or the results are awful.
Quote:At this time in the game I wish to have more mercs than 12! That's interesting. In my opinion you can fight with 5-6 mercs and you'll have 6-7 mercs for healing and repairing.

@Arulcish Lion,
I've seen now that it becomes some better:
Ivan has thrown a grenade and he hit the enemy at the point.
This will made C 3 some easier because Ivan and others have thrown till
vers. 0,45 like children in nursery school. Only mercs with skill THROWING
had been better.
I only fight during the night, after the first 15 sectors with 11 mercs.
Only one is behind the frontlines, training guards.
If there is somebody to heal or something to repair, they do it during the day.
And I save very often.
By now, during repairing, there happens an attack in sector D 9 with 22 enemies.
Because of saving I load the save before and awaited the attack with my mercs
and won the fight.
Without this I lost this sector.

Perhaps you understand now:
I loved the hand grenade RGD-5 in vers. 0.45 and former versions, but not that in vers. 0.50
(range of action and effect: p.e. enemies behind bushes after bridges with the "old" RGD-5; but now you can forget it.)
It is possible that you only changed the picture, isn't it?
The attacks? I counted three or four attacks after winning one sector during my pause for repairing or healing the mercs. I had known this circumstance in former versions after winning D 9
p.e..

I understand and I hope you'll change this again.
Everybody can do what he want.
"Blitzkrieg" I ever fight to win the spring. But then...
There are sectors later you cannot fight "Blitzkrieg"
since the first versions of METAVIRA.
You don't need such remedy. To many fights with militia is
nervous. It takes a long time!!!
How long did you repair things and heal mercs?
Half a night and a whole day because my parties attacks
ever together.
And surprising:
It happened some times that I wait for an own attack at
ca. 21:00 Uhr and a short time before there was an enemy attack
and I could not attack in this night because of the time was
over to enter the sector. That's new IMO.

@Arulcish Lion,
my impression of more attacks is a result of chance?
After playing this mod five times till vers. 0.45?
I have to believe it.
But not this: RGD-5! My impression is that my mercs throw this grenade very short.
300 : 400 g: You know that this is 33 1/3 % more?
If you can throw with 300 g 10 m, you now throw 400 g only 10 m minus 1/3 of 10m: 6,66 m!
3,33 m less!
That's not mathematic, only counting.
Now I know why my mercs throw so short distance.
100 g seems to be only a little, but the calculation shows the result!!!
I have to dress my first merc with the assault vest with it's few pockets to find out
the position of the enemie cowardly hidden behind bushes after small bridges.
Sorry for now. I like to write to you, but
many greetings to your team leader. I like to play vers. 0.45.
More healers now? Thank you. I don't need them.
Excuse me, you are the modder and I like to play or not.
If I don't play, you don't konw it.
Better, I write to you, isn't it?
But final a good news: Thank you for the mortar shells. Now
I have two mercs more at the end of the game,
precisely: all mercs.
And in this heavy sector with the small door in the wall at the
beginning in this sector, I can use a mortrar shell.

Quote:my impression of more attacks is a result of chance? Our coder says so.
Quote:If you can throw with 300 g 10 m, you now throw 400 g only 10 m minus 1/3 of 10m: 6,66 m!
3,33 m less!
That's not mathematic, only counting. Not so easy. The formula is more difficult.
I think, the difference between maximum ranges of throwing 300g and 400g should be about 4 tiles for a normal merc.
Quote:I have to dress my first merc with the assault vest with it's few pockets to find out
the position of the enemie cowardly hidden behind bushes after small bridges. That sounds right. This vest is for this purpose. In original JA1 it was without any pockets but in DG some pockets were added.
Quote:If I don't play, you don't konw it.
Better, I write to you, isn't it? Yes, of cause. It's better for us to have recall about our mode. And it's absolutely normal that some of them are negative. Really, negative opinions may be even more useful, then positive.
It's a pleasure for me to communicate with you.
Quote:And in this heavy sector with the small door in the wall at the
beginning in this sector, I can use a mortrar shell. That's good.

Sorry, I don't understand this "4 tiles".
Can you use another term?

Quote:Is it intentionally that when guards fight bandits no loot is left behind? Yes.
JA1 was interesting in many different aspects. The lack of good items was one of them. In JA1 you had very few really good items for your soldiers. Every good pistol was like a Christmas present. We tried to copy it in our mod. It also makes our mod different from others - where you have great guns and good items from the very beginning. During the test we discovered, that after battles between guards and bandits player often receives items better, then you have. Good guns, ammo, armour... We've decided that it breaks the game balance.
Quote:Where can I see weapons stats (like damage)? It's really hard to decide which weapon to take without knowing any details In JA1 you couldn't seen the stats. We think that many visible stats make the game worse, especially if you have a lot of items. For example, 10 variants of AK-47. Which is better? You study 20 parameters of each of them and try to select. It's a wast of your time.
So, the official answer is: you do not need them, you just need to know which gun is better.
If you do not use "tons of guns" it's rather simple. Colt is better then SW. Beretta is better then Colt...
With tons of guns it's a bit harder. Usually, later your receive the gun - then better it is.
Unofficial answer: If you really want this you can open ttx.txt file with the exel or any other program. I use LibreOffice Calc.
Quote:- Is there a chance that the missing voices will come? Or is this due to a technical restriction? Who's voices? Have you downloaded the sound files for mercs, Jack and Brenda from the topic with the information?
If you've done this, I can say that we give you all files, we have. We'll try to place at your disposal more content in the feature.
Quote:- Is the alternatve story (with Robby Ray's weapons) already working? No, it's not done yet.
Quote:- I had a bug where Brenda went missing I've PM'ed you. Wait for more details.
Quote:Thanks, great mod! Thank you. It's really pleasant to have players.

Weapon Damage
I see what you are trying to accomplish, makes sense. I picked tons of guns, I guess that's what made it complicated.
Voices
Some mercs don't have voices, most annoying is that all IMP voices are missing. I installed all additional files and patches you are offering.
Brenda lost in action
Savegame were I am stuck trying to save the trees
http://www.sendspace.com/file/9vziw9
Savegame earliest to the event described, she is already missing. If you check the event log on the laptop you will see she was kidnapped and rescued.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/a3392z
Quote:I'm afraid I do not understand the situation well. So:
1) You have captured the lab. The quests with the lab was closed and you received your reward for the sector D9.
Sector D9 was under your control. Brenda visited D9.
2) The enemies attacked the laboratory (D9) from the north and met there your mercs.
3) The battle started. It was a long battle which wasn't finished till the sunset.
4) At the sunset about 21:00 (or 20:55) Jack told you, that Brenda is kidnapped and the quest started.
5) You won the battle. Found Brenda on the small island in D9 and brought her to Jack.
6) Quest "Find and save Brenda" (or smth like this - I don't remember the quests title exactly) is finished.
7) Now you need Brenda and can't find here.
Am I right?
1) Yes
2) I don't know from direction they came, but it was a big wave.
3) Yes, exactly
4) Yes
5) Yes
6) Yes, I got the reward
7) Yeah, the trees are infected with an illness and I would like to bring the flowers to her, but she is nowhere to find. She is not in D4, D9, G11.
Would still be great if I could rescue my game, I went for the last sector but it's too hard. And I can't spend more time gridning as the trees will die.
Cheat Codes
I wonder why Cheat Codes don't work? Would have helped me out to at least finish the game although Brenda is lost.

Quote:I picked tons of guns, I guess that's what made it complicated As I remember, with "tons of guns" there would be pares of guns with very close damage and range, but with different pictures, descriptions, ammo types and some other parameters which are not so important.
Quote:Some mercs don't have voices, most annoying is that all IMP voices are missing. I installed all additional files and patches you are offering. You want to say that IMP characters and mercs who were in JA2 (Grunty, Fox, Malice, Buzz, Ice...) have no voices.
I think, it's not a problem of the modificitation - it's a problem of the installation. How did you install the game? I mean JA2, not the mod. Do you use English version of JA2, or German? Or smth else?
Do you have disk version& How many disks there are in it? Or you've downloaded JA2 from the internet?
The modification should use existing file SPEECH.SLF. But you could install the game without this file or it may be placed somewhere where the mod can't see it.
Quote:Brenda lost in action Thank you for your message. It's our mistake. Thank you for it.
I've downloaded your saves. I'll think, what to do in your situation in a couple of days.
Quote:I wonder why Cheat Codes don't work? They are disabled by default. Please, run the game with a key -cheats and you'll be able to use them the same way as in JA2.
