Everything should have been so easy...
I'm trying to run the new JA2 MP Mod v1.4 (from http://ja2.h758491.serverkompetenz.net/Wanne/MP/) but theres an error on startup and I cant even get to the main menu. Heres what I did:
[color:#CC0000]1) Install JA2 (non-Gold, Ger)
2) Official patch (v1.02)
3) Installed 1.13 Mod (Installer, Release 2085, German)
4) Extracted MP Mod 1.4 contents into Install Directory (\Games\JA2\)
5) Run JA2_MP_DE_v1.4.exe
6) get this[/color]
What I also tried (same result):
- go to a friend, try with Gold version
- Install different official patches beforehand (1.02,1.05,1.10,1.12)
- get english version of Game and Mods
- googling the error message
- searching forums for similar problems, am I really the only one??
No Problems with the original game or 1.13 single player so far. May build 2085 be too old? The only MP Mod that works for me is called JA2_release_2257_de, apparently an old project from 2008 where all the server settings had to be done in the mp.ini directly (no GUI etc). All the new releases (MP 1.0 - 1.4) give me that runtime error... I'd really like to play the improved versions tho =(
Anyone has an idea what could be wrong here? I'm slowly going insane.
My System:
Windows Vista Home
AMD Athlon X2 QL-60 ~1.9GHz
3GB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450
(yes it's a Notebook)

Thanks a lot for the very fast help! MP works now and the new features (advanced weapon description etc.) sure are a great improvement!
All that's left are some minor issues... I'll just write a little list again:
1) Can I restore the original AP system or am I stuck with the 100AP count thing? It kind of takes much of the feel of the old JA2 away.
2) I used the TortoiseSVN method and now I have a kinda garbled Eng/Ger version where all the sound files and descriptions are german but buttons, stats and some other things are still English. I'd rather play a fully translated version. With the 2085 installer release everything remained intact... maybe its time for an updated version of that? I have links to a Scheinworld all-in-one release but I don't know its contents or version number... so I didn't even try it. (yes I copied ALL files, first english then german on top of it as instructed)
3) Can I set a fixed number of enemies to appear in any sector we want to play CoOp in? Old MP often only spawned like 3 weaklings in the field (after 20 minutes of Merc preparation lol). I know about the max enemies setting.
Note that this does not stop me from playing or anything. Those are just some cosmetical issues.
You guys rock! =D

you can change the number of merc in your ja2_options.ini.
Search for MAX_NUMBER_PLAYER_MERCS. To edit the ja2_options.ini use the INI Editor or notepad. If you want to load the savegame you have to change the value in the ja2_options.ini, otherwise you can't load the savegame.
