mate, we can't adapt Gaston's samples to Simon for instance, since they both are completely different RPCs, who can easily co-exist even in the same squad. that would look (and sound) non-professional and amateur, at least 
in fact, there is no prob to create a .doc w/ rough translation of ingame e-mails and other gameplay hints, like a guide-to-hire for the new characters.
to tell you the truth - i had the same prob while testing the MOD for the first time; i didn't have the russian ver of the game then, and the first thing to do after the crash-landing was - as usual - to wack the pilot. guess what happened - the moment i punched him, that loco pulled out his gun and chopped me to pieces i really feel for ya, guys 
but, like i said before - the MOD's creation took so long that we simply cannot afford ourselves to release halfa-job. throwing in a .doc w/ hints and walkthroughs,instead of full-scale translation, will be exactly doing a halfa-job. and we DO care 'bout our reputation.
so, we really count on you guys to help us create something we plain cannot. like authentic audiosamples

mate, that's awesome, but... but we're fresh outta Dutch characters  sorry... :whoknows: however, if u happen to find any native French, Latino or British, that would be an enormous benefit for the MOD

SHADY JOB ENGLISH GUIDE - SPOILERS
Intro
I thought if we all kicked in, we can unravel a lot of this. Post what you've discovered (additions and corrections) and I'll edit to reflect.
Fixes
Delete all NOMAP files in folder DATA\CAMPAIGNS\SJ.
Apply Roman's patch. Fixes various things. See his post of 29/9/04.
Integrated Weapon attachments
* MAC10 - suppressor
* most sniper rifles - sniper scope
* Steyr HBar - scope and bipod
Combinables
* broken collimator + optic unit = collimator which replaces rod and spring. Goes on most weapons except LMGs
* armour + webbing = armour with pouches. Increases armour rating and allows ceramic plates (if patched), gas mask and first aid kit to be worn in armour
* Xray device, can & string - no change
* extenders - disabled

aight
lets make it this way : one of us (me or COBRA) will send you Simon's audiosample in russian so you will at least get a clue how he's supposed to sound. then i'll get ya the complete eng.text so you'll b able to proceed w/ the recording.
2drop bear
mate, i really hate to spoil it for ya, but i'd wait another month if i was you lemme finish the translation so you wont b wandering in the dark as u do now.
anyways, i'd like to clear the picture a bit :
1. u can indeed find 2 collimator parts at the junkyard sector (the one is a broken optic and the other is a broken collimator,; u can get 'em combined for a functioning collimator which acts like the original rod&spring)
2. LMGs mostly non-upgradable since they r already an uber-weapon (large clip and low AP burst-cost, 5-6 shots per burst). i hope our guys will fix that in a next upcoming patch, cuz right now RPK, PKM and HBAR are weapons of choice, virtually beating 9 outta 10 ARs in the MOD. creating LMGs compatible w/ collimators and las-pointers would make it a cheat-in-law
3. armours are upgradable w/ vests, thus making it possible to place medkits and other groovies in the "pouches". be aware though - ceramic plates can b placed in the armor only BEFORE applyin the vest on it. once the vest is combined w/ the armour, no ceramics can b added. this is a subject to fix, but right now this is the way it is.
if u have any other questions/dilemmas concernin whatsoever, dont hesitate to ask

@ Lupus. Thanks, but I'm too obsessive to stop a mod once I've started. Also, its sort of realistic to have language difficulties if you're operating covert in a foreign country. Then again, I do have Ivan and Igor along for the mission.
That said, it's a good enough mod to play again and again, so I'll give the english version a try too when it's out.
Re the weapons, I agree about the LMGs. I like the mod overall, but the high damage values are a problem IMO. The problem with such high damage values, especially with critical hits, is that most of the weapons do more damage than you really need and lose their individuality. One of the appeals of vanilla JA2 was that weapon chices really matter, eg do I go for the extra damage of the HK21 (despite its weight and high AP cost) or FN FAL (despite its few bullets per burst) or do I go for a C7 for its low AP cost and many bullets per burst (despite its lower damage) or do I go for a sniper rifle for its accuaracy and damage (despite its lack of burst fire). The guns here are all so powerful that it really doesn't matter what you decide to use. I'm using a mix of Steyr HBars, G3A3s and FN FALs - the last 2 with Talons, but could have finished easily with the M4s, the first of which I picked up in the start sector.
