"JA2.1.13 Remake Mod for JA3?"

any hope of this?; Wed, 26 July 2023 22:27

In years past when I was a regular on this board, I had zero training or experience in computer science. But after I retired from academia in 2014, I eventually decided to take a couple of years of course work at a local community college and actually worked as an unpaid "apprentice" (more like slave) on one legacy game update project (C++ . . . well ACTUALLY C, but it had been updated to compile as C++ in VS). So, I now have some foundations in the technical sides of modding.

It seems fairly obvious that the degree of "moddability" possible in JA2 will never be possible in JA3 simply because the source code is not likely to ever be made available. But maybe much can still be accomplished?

I am not suitable to lead such a project, but I am happy to follow and I would be delighted to help for as long as it took to bring such a project to fruition; not like full-time or anything, but 10 to 15 hours a week is definitely doable.

What say you Bear's of the Pit?!?

Is it even possible?! Can old Grogs learn new tricks?!

Saving issue

Game needs long time to save; Mon, 24 July 2023 19:31

Hello everybody!

After installing Windows 10 and Unfinished Business on my computer there is a problem with saving games in Unfinished Business. I started a new game where it normally should run very fast. I'm in the second sector and I get a delay about 5 seconds until I could save a game via alt+s or ctrl+s. When I load a saved game it's very fast instead.
So I also tried saving and loading on my old savegames in JA2 1.13 where I'm shortly before Meduna. There it is no problem to save or load the game. I read somewhere that a savegame which is far progressed in the game could take a bit longer but like this it doesn't make any sense.

The reason why I installed Unfinished Business is that I want to try out some mods like B2B soon but when saving is like this it's useless. For being able to play the Jagged Alliance games at correct speed in Windows 10 I use the 3 .dll-files (ddraw.dll, libwine.dll and wined3d.dll). When I don't have the three .dll-files in the gamefolder saving isn't better in UB. I also tried to delete and reinstall the game in another folder (because of possible issues with x86).
So my question is: What can I do to have a normal saving time in Unfinished Business? Maybe someone has another good hint here.
I heard from the software SoftPerfect RAM Disk which I'll maybe try out.

Greetings

Is it okay to just update JA2 1.13 and never upadating AIMNAS again?

I'm sorry these might be a newbie question. I really love the game, please help.; Thu, 20 July 2023 12:52

Recently there's a new version of JA2 1.13 and I don't want to erase my AIMNAS save game. Is it okay just to update The JA2 1.13 mod and not updating my AIMNAS submod?  Or should I update my AIMNAS submod again for my mods and submods to work properly?

Is it worth it?

Is JA3 worth buying?; Thu, 20 July 2023 00:44

I know we are in a world stage where everyone is a critic. But in general, is JA3 worth our money?

Let's start a list of small tips you wish you knew when you started:


- You can turn a firstaid/medkit into medicines via rclick "salvage" and and viceversa (vs refill on kits)
- You can turn a pipe bomb into gunpowder vs combine with a pair of wire cutters (useful for making ammo)

Attacking From Starter Island; Tue, 18 July 2023 09:59

Has anyone got a opinion on best place or even the easiest place to attack the mainland after capturing the island? Just wondering if there is a best way to fight and roll up the enemy on the mainland. Its my next step in the ongoing war.

Without pause/tactical break it's impossible to be strategic

desperately need pause/tactical break; Tue, 18 July 2023 06:12

Impossible to be strategic with my squad without the ability to pause and give orders.

now I look with nostalgia at having Malice ready to slit a throat, Lynx on a roof ready to shoot the approaching guys, and my alter ego cleaning close quarters with bursts from the most silent FAMAS G2

Missing JA2 Mercs

List of JA2 (Vanilla) AIM and MERC mercs that weren't featured in the game; Mon, 17 July 2023 21:34



The list of vanilla JA2 mercs that weren't included in the new game.

The ones I've noticed so far:

AIM : Buzz, Stephen, Lynx, Cliff, Static, Nails, Danny, Spider, Trevor, Bull, Malice

MERC: Other than Tex, none of them are in the game, only Biff and Larry has been mentioned by name so far but I haven't seen them yet.

Weird that they placed Mouse from JA and Tex from MERC into AIM merc list.
