Hi everyone!
We, the VdM from the german JA2-Basis, have after four years of development just released our UB based mod "Back to Business"
Features:
- 144 maps
- a very different and complex new story that continues the saga of JA2 and UB
- lots of new NPCs, RPCs etc.
- lots of new weapons, items
- many new and unique quests
- new tiles
- and yes, a new monster! 
- long gameplay guaranteed!
- Size of download 60 MB
Please follow this link to see the news-page of the JA2-Basis:
http://ja.gamigo.de/index3.php Broken link, if you have an updated one, post here
Link for direct download is:
http://ja2mods.de/downscript/download.php?id=50 Broken link, if you have an updated one, post here
So far, "Back to Business" is available only in german. But the mod is based on the US V. 1.01 EXE so compatability is no problem.
Give it a try, even if you do not understand the german language very well!
Regards
Sinclair

Okay, I just had a quick word with Sinclair. There are a few specific files that need translating.
Firstly, most of the 'Files' data is located in 'files.zip' in the Campaign Data directory. These are mostly HTML docs that need translating.
I am currently working on those, I'll post the individual files when ready.
NPC-scripts, emails and itemdescs, are of course in the .edt format.
NPC speeches are not voiced, so its just the text itself that needs translating. Some of them give vital quest clues though, so care needs to be taken when working on them.
While I am currently hard at work trying to get the stuff translated, I just want to point out that I won't promise:
-a release date
-compete and final translation of the whole game. (I'm a bit of a sh!t in this aspect, with me often not having enough time/motivation to see things through. I'll do my best of course, but others are welcome to give the translation a shot too just in case I don't deliver. I know this is crap, but I'll do my best Occasional kicks in the arse by other posters are more than welcome. 
-a perfectly accurate, mistake free job. Hey, I'm only human, so if there is something that does not sound right, give me a shout.
So do not celebrate, thank me, rely on me or read too much into this. I'll give it a go, that's all.
Ta!

@30.06 seller:
Sorry, I must have been mistaken. I thought it was the bloke up in Grayvalon, but Sinclair tells me that he does not stock 30.06. My bad.
@bra: rofl. No clue, squad tent?
@Merc Regenschirm: That is the M.E.R.C umbrella that is given to all their troops. It is part of the promotional gift war that AIM and MERC got themselves into, with each side trying to outbid each other with freebies. (Che-flask, Sam Garver knife, Flo-watch, MERC brolly). Oh, the umbrella also doubles as a weapon, so if you want to, you can wack the enemy with it...
@Anita: What is her location again?

Oh wow, thanks, I've never seen so much money in my life. Okay, here goes... See the oil-transfer terminal down by the sea? The owner has got a huge amount of cash stashed away in it. But, he has extensively boobytrapped the whole structure, so, one mistake and the whole structure will go up in smoke!

Bra and Teddybear are just for decoration. The bra is there because there was a bra to be found in JA1!
More spoiler for the Oil-Terminal Quest ahead:
read it only after talking to Anita!

Go to Laroche and put some pressure on the chap. He might drop some sort of info on how to get round the boobytraps.

I have polish version. I can not start. Error "Cannot init FONT file\LARGEFONT1.sti Hello,
Randok - you need to install B2B in the same directory where is your JA2UB PL. After that everything works OK - I check it.
BTW. Zajrzyj na nasze forum internetowe http://jaggedalliance.pl/forum/ , ktore jest poswiecone JA (tam tez jest instrukcja poprawnej instalki na nasze UB). :ok:

EDIT: Oh dear, wordfilter . Replace the asterisc with a 'u' when copy&pasting the URL into your browser!!!
Tentative pre-release of two files. The official readme and files.zip
Both will probably still contain one or the other mistake. Sorry about that, just point it out and I'll update.
http://www.lytinwheedle.f*ckyouanddie.com/
Ignore the website, it does not have any content at all, its just a placeholder, filedump at the moment. Thanks to f*ckyouanddie.com for hosting.
Lastly, I mailed Sinclair the stuff, so if he produces a different version with corrections on his own servers, it will replace this current release asap. I don't have much bandwith, so my links will go down when my allowance has been reached.
To all those going 'FYAD... wait a minute, this rings a bell...!', Yes, I've got stairs in my house! PAK CHOOIE UNF!
The translation of the rest will come in bite-sized bits and pieces throughout the month. A proper, full English release will come out when all work has been completed. Before that, individual files will get posted to give people a slight clue as to what is going on in the campaign. (The story is a great deal better than that of most other PC games ).

@ Mr. Headshot
I've noticed the sometimes erratic damage done by single shots too. But as it does not happen all the time i call it the "luck factor"
@ bula:
Toggle SpoilerTransfer to the island: Search the palace in Catalina for access to the basement.
Palmtop and datamodule are parts of an item that requires 5 single pieces to be put together. With palmtop and datamudule you already have the "data processing" parts of the device. All you need now are the two "data collecting" parts and an item for connecting "data processing" and "data collecting" parts.
