X-Ray Device/Motion Sensor recipe?
Solved.; Mon, 20 January 2025 14:49
Ok, minor question about that thing because it's at least 20 years I don't use it..
I found the following list of items:
Fumble Pack + X-Ray Tube + Gum = X-Ray Device
Gameboy Display + Copper Wire = Display Unit
- - - - - X-Ray Device + Display Unit = X-Ray Detector
Is this correct?

Removing resolution check at game launch possible?
Sun, 12 January 2025 17:12
Hi,
I'm trying to use Stogie's (thanks a lot! [1]) german translation together with cnc-ddraw to achieve pixel-perfect integer scaling.
My monitor is 1920x1200, so ideally I'd set the resolution to 960x600 in the JA2.ini.
However, the older 1.13 based exe that VR uses still has the resolution check enabled - it throws an error when the resolution is not supported by your monitor (which is true). This check does not exist anymore with 1.13 since 2021.
Is it possible to somehow run VR (DE exe) without the resolution check? Then I could enjoy pixel-perfect 16:10 with VR instead of 4:3 (I'm using 800x600 now in the JA2.ini).
Thank you!

Cambria loyalty PLUMMETING super quickly
Fri, 10 January 2025 19:05
My loyalty in Cambria has plummeted in very little time.
It was over 40%.
It is now 0%.
This happened in a few hours (substantially less than a day, I think).
* I have trained 20 militia in each of 3 Cambria sectors (I am now unable to train militia).
* I found and returned Joey.
* Cambria has never been invaded (since I liberated it).
* I have killed all bad guys in sectors adjacent to Cambria.
I can find nothing in the log to explain what is happening.
It is day 6.
I have liberated only Drassen and Cambria.
I had a couple of mercs healed in the hospital, but of course, they would not help me now.
I loaded an earlier save, with my loyalty at 10%. In the time it took for me to walk some mercs through 2 Cambria zones (I think 6 minutes of game time), it had dropped to 0%.
What the heck is going on?
Thanks
Possible Spoiler
Oh. Maybe this is it.
The hospital insisted that I pay CASH.
It would not take payment from my balance.
So, I handed them cash that I found in the mine in San Mona.
It does seem like loyalty began dropping shortly after that.
Had I not found that cash, I don't know how I could have paid for hospital services.

Forgot How to Map
Cannot place an NPC; Sat, 28 December 2024 20:30
I have placed vehicles on the map before (a few years back) and have seem to forgotten how. The gasoline tanks I place show up, so I know the map transfered, but no Humvees. I have looked online and followed the PBworks infomation, to no avail.

WIP:
-M1887 lever action shotgun
-Standard DP12
-Chiappa Triple threat
Guide to install:
The official way, extensive guide:
For this method, follow the guide of creating a new item and simply use the big guns STI, MDguns STI entry, the Items xml entry and weapons xml entry provided above
http://ja2v113.pbworks.com/w/page/4218349/Item-Making%20Tutorial
The alternative, lazy method:
Toggle Spoiler
The fastest way to put those guns ingame would be to replace an existing one. For this example we will replace hk caws with tokarev 12. Find the gun you want to replace in the items xml and weapons.xml, (located in data 1.13/Tabledata/items/) the caws is number 33 . replace all the lines by the one provided above (in the stats section) but let intact the following: uiindex, ubclassindex, ubgraphicnum. Ubgraphicnum is the number of the picture used by the game, the caws is 33. so rename the big gun sti provided as "gun33.sti" (for this example), and paste that new gun33 sti in Data1.13/big items. Then open mdguns.sti (inside data1.13/interface) with a sti editor, go to picture 33 and replace it with the tokarev12mdguns pic provided.
Note: if you are using Lobot animations, try to replace a similar gun so that animations are consitent.

Maybe this is a new situation
I am not using the most recent version 1.13 but rather 2850 stable; Fri, 13 December 2024 03:17
Hi folks,
Long time no post, like maybe 10+ years. So now I am onto Win 10 64 bit 1760 GT RTX card. It works great for everything including JA2 in its much dumbed down version. The problem I am having is I can't edit my IMP stats with any current editor. So I would like you all to reach into the mists of time and tell me where I might find a still working editor for v. 2085. Yes this is before all the fancy features got added, but I am trying to EASE myself back into XML coding. And I would like to finish my first game under 2085, since its before the NCTH system was introduced. Hell its missing most of the features of Ja2 1.13 4780 or stable version 7069. But I would like to be able to work myself back up to the point where I could actually start writing my own code again. Every little step I figure out is a MAJOR victory for me. So if you have links to tools going back to 2000 - 2007, I would love to know where they are.

UPDATE: My mod is alive and kicking!
Tue, 19 November 2024 19:07
Hello crew.
I got burned by mapping and couldn't make anything for almost 3 months. Two months ago I resumed working and I'm proceeding at a slower, steadier pace reaching 65 maps done, basically half of what I need.
Currently I'm tackling city sectors, the ones that require the longest work. I'm happy I didn't go for huger maps than 160x160, but all in all results are worth it.
Long story short: The possibility to release the mod for Christmas is long gone, but I could make it for Easter.
(Well, let's get back to work!)

Interested to hear if others collected stats in Dead is dead mode
