@neyros

Hey, your mod works fine! However, it overwrites itself into the Russian version of UB. I'm really curious what's in those E-mails and what people are saying to me and stuff. Any chance of a translation in the near-future?

Thanks!

Well i hope you will, in the preview it is said players need to analyze and choose the right options to make NPC's co-operate. But since i don't understand Russian that's gonna be very hard...

Yeah. I'd really like a translation. I started the game, but I don't even know my mercs skills,
and I think I accidentally chose Iron man mode. :rolleyes:
Which made it hard right from the start. You guys might've gone over the top with the mustard gas grenades: in my first battle one of the elites threw two (in the same turn) right next to 3 out of my four mercs: WHAM! All three of them instantly dead. And my IMP was a 90 health merc!. Watch those guys with the nades, I'd say!

Oh, and don't forget to tell Breammator and Tailor that they did a really good job on those faces, imo. :ok:

Yeah, more kudos to this mod man!

Wodan, hope you recuited the chopper-pilot hehehe...

It's got some of the best weapon-sounds in all JA2 history. Just load or unload a clip WOW!

And being able to put gasmasks and NV goggles in your armor is pretty cool aswell. This mod futures upgradable armor aswell people!

Those faces are from Manga/Anime i guess?
Anyway, a translation is really needed! I know what i'll be doing this weekend :naughty:

Those APC's really are to much man... They cut you up in pieces! I was totally shocked when it unloaded on Raven and Scope AND killed them both in one turn...Did you guys ever thought of equipping them with a machinegun instead of a Multiple Rocket Launch System? Kinda evens the odds since it's almost impossible to sneak up on these things...

Also noted it is sometimes not possible to pick up things from the inventory screen. Things will be blacked out as if they were on rooftops or behind a closed door, or out of reach in inaccesible terrain. Guess it's a bug of some kind.

@Neyros

Could you answer some questions here? I found what looks like a underslung flashlight, but there's no weapon it attachs too (maybe on shotguns, but i don't have any) Also found what looks like a bipod, but this too doesn't fit any weapon.

I got the current weapons at the moment:

M60E3
H&K MSG90
Steyr Aug HBAR-T
Barret M82A1
FN P90

*update* OK i found the M40A1 and the FN Minimi SPW and they accept bipods. Still curious about the other gadget though. Also the Steyr Aug HBAR-T has no burst-fire sound.

Any weapons have integrated attachments.
M4A1 - integrated grenade launcher, SVD - integrated optic scope, MAC-10 - integrated silencer, etc. Just see weapon's images!

It looks really great but the language causes a lot of problem like identifying items, interacting with NPC's, reading mail and so on. An english version or at least translations of the descriptions would make a big difference. maybe it's hidden here under the dead link: http://ja2.ru/preview/preview.shtml?/preview/end ?
It's playable only b'cause the game itself is so familiar. Top score for sounds and colours Wink

WOW! For those of you guys that hasn't tried this mod yet, you are really missing something.
Even though the lack of translation makes it more difficult (forget about NPC unless you brush up your russian really quick Very Happy

), this mod has a great feel.
It's not for the faintheated, thats for sure, staring at an APC in the dark is probably the last thing you do before getting hacked in small pieces.
The sounds are awesome, the guns are great, the foe's are lethal, combining things that you don't know what it is, is really rewarding when you succeed.
When my IMP snuffed his first APC, that was such a great moment and his shout topped it all :diabolical:
Make yourselt a great service, go for "Shady Job"

Well, hopefully they'll still release some sort of english version. I don't think they would have to re-do all the .wav files, but at least anything you have to read.

I agree. I'm just on a killing spree now, but you can see by all the messages in the tactical screen there's a couple of quests in the game. Untill some translations are released i'm just sticking to kill em all style gameplaying. I'm still running into new weapons hehehe. This mod has the best guns and tools&toys ever :bandit:

This mod is awesome. Having way too much fun. Although the first time I ran into those APC's was not much fun. Very Happy

But seriously, the weapons, sounds, maps, and the new NPC's (although I can't understand them; reminds me of using Ivan back in JA1 & DG) are all top-notch and very well done. :naughty:

2) Why does Gaston and Stogie both sound like the chopper pilot? I've tried extracting their sound files and modifying a couple other things but no luck yet.

3) What are the english names of the hireable NPC's?

4) Not really a problem, but just out of curiousity, why do weapon stats change so much from mod to mod? For example, the AN-94 Abakan.

p.s. I gotta stop lurkin' so much. Oy! :rolleyes:

The feedback sounds great, and I'm itching for the English version so I can dig into it! (Fluent in English-only American, and yes I know I'm lame :headbanger: )

@ Neyros --> After checking the preview link, I must say great job on Shady Job!

Could you guys patch the 7.62x54 ammo thing? Every Dragunov i unload has it's clip gone to regular 7.62 ammo. Now i got heaps of ammo for my M40A1 but nothing for my Dragunov...

Also my game crashes when i talk to one of the Gunrunners in front of the door. :bawling:

Since first seeing the preview, I have desparately wanted to play this mod, but I don't want to even try without an English translation, because I know I'll just get too frustrated.

Any word on when we might see something Neyros? I know you said you intended to do an English version, please just give us some idea...weeks?...months? :whoknows:

hiho

shady job is nice ...it would be nicer in english Wink

online translators suck for this job
but its REALLY fun to play in ''hack and slay'' style
maps are solid
weapons are nice
apc idea is really nice!! has a lot of potential

only some minor bugs i found- as it seems to me: svd(dragunov) and gba-y have munition problems...seems like apropriate mun is not defined
and it seems some teleporters do not work
too bad, that invasionvalue is not set....no enemys try to recapture sectors...would have been a nice addition

but overall - well done - GRATS !

greets bone
