Just tried it and it works perfectly. Are you sure that you are modifying \data-1.13\faces\10.sti and \data-1.13\faces\170.sti ? Also starting a new game is a must. There is probably a little oversight somewhere. Check everything carefully again.

Okay, will do, but tomorrow.
Possible that i overlooked something, i was installing, reinstalling and testing quite a lot the last days and maybe lost track somewhere.


And thanks a lot for clarifying the VFS structure Smile

It is not really a bug but since you entered mercs from Ja 1 you need to change or add some info in the Alumni section

Don't know what i'm doing wrong.
Have 2 versions installed:
1) JA2 -> JA2 v113 6063, no mod, in both Data subfolders are the faces installed. Started new game, but still what i call "hardcoded" Monk+Shadow
2) JA2 -> JA2 v113 6221 -> AFS 4.47, in all 3 Data subfolders are the faces installed. Same than above.

I'm playing 6201/1698. Not sure if this is a bug, but loading times have increased dramatically since 4870. Especially when opening/closing a sector's inventory, or when starting or ending an "auto-resolve" battle between the militia and army.

I think the latter has to do with the new "Equip militia with guns/armour/etc." feature.

This problem has existed forever (pre 4870), but is still present.

In sector H10 (a cache), there will be an inaccessible Sniper Scope. Additional problems with the crates in the sector occur as well (can close/open multiple times to get multiple sets of items). The cause of this problem is in the map itself in that the Druganov does not accept a sniper scope. Either the sniper scope should be changed to a PSO-1/3, or the map load function should handle this error condition in a better fashion.

A quick workaround is to add the sniper scope as an acceptable attachment to the Druganov, then the map loads and operates properly.

Pseudo-bug, tested with revisions 6023 and 6221:
The animated *sti files, as well as the A.I.M. roster pictures (not the one in the biography, the one when viewing all mercs) of Monk and Shadow are hardcoded into the exe(?) and won't be overwritten by *sti files placed into the Faces folder.


Fresh install solved the problem :whoknows:

Another problem that has been around forever, but is still present.

If an explosion knocks a merc to the ground (lying down), he/she may not return to be able to do anything (change stance/move/shoot) until turn based operation ends. Trying to make the merc perform an action results in the spinning clock cursor. The merc in question has APs and energy.

Possible contributing factor, more than one merc affected by he explosion.

Could you please upload the savegame + Inis somewhere? Best would be one savegame directly before and one after the explosion so I can check what happens when I try to do something with a merc.

Also, my militia aren't using the weapons in sector inventory. Instead, they start off in each battle with no equipment, and only pick up stuff laying within reach on the ground. Militia is next to useless! Mad

militia Ai seems very stupid or broken.in tactical only few militia man can made moves or attack all other militia can do nothing and sit on their asses.if command them to spread out the spread and after that still do nothing on their turns.so during tactical battles when i command with my mercs-militia is useless.they become handy on autoresolve battles nothing more.

Maybe it is possible to add them i script with Search and kill during tactical combat?

Thanks a lot Smile

However now i'm curious how this happened. When creating new folders i don't set write protection, windows (at least usually/as far as i know) also doesn't. And i do install in a mod-friendly folder :whoknows:

Same game revision: is it really a bug or is it simply "all energy drained" ?
I had the same with explosives on one instance, and on a different with H2H hits. The merc couldn't do anything, because energy was drained and didn't recover for a very long time (something like 10-20 turns, don't remember exactly). Outside of turn-based energy recovers quicker than during turn-based.

Sometimes a file/folder being copied from a write protected source (e.g. CD) keeps this attribute when copied elsewhere.
So maybe the file to be written to is from your vanilla install CD or has been protected in Depri's SCI or some such.

Hm. I made a JA2 installation and simply copy that for fresh v1.13 installations. A necessity that arose quickly last week, thus i simply blame the SCI :whoknows:

Yes it has. With good reason, as we have to loop over the entier inventory 3 times for every militia we create. That includes auto resolve.

A bug causing them to forget equipment was fixed recently, you should probably update.

Militia are as dumb or smart as they always were. They use the same AI as the enemy, nothing has changed there.

Almost all my battle with milita goes like: my merc defending,and only few militia made some actions, other milita siting and do nothing.sometimes during defences or attacks from 20 unit of militia only 5-6 can act other sitting and dying.Tryed to command to them-not big work for this.it need some fixes really.or add them command serach and kill?because no commands work besides-spread out,get cover,lay down,and retrat perhaps(never used it so)

try to position them (by calling them to you with merc wearing headphones) near the side of the map where enemies will enter the map

in my experience they always all fight, if they dont have weapons they try hand to hand combat

only problem i se is that they shoot over heads of friendlies way to often so if you place them close together they tend to shoot each other in the back while aiming to at the enemies

i have no idea what could be the reason for not doing anything at all and just staying put

in options ini file you can try to set

WE_SEE_WHAT_MILITIA_SEES_AND_VICE_VERSA = TRUE


and restart the game, maybe that would help a bit

I understand that.I will proved all what you need for 1.13 stock mod when i get to it.about 4870 i said that such bug appeared in 4870 too and in unstable releases.it often appears on my playthroughs


WE_SEE_WHAT_MILITIA_SEES_AND_VICE_VERSA = TRUE

it always set to true adn influences only on player vision of milita

- Nothing
When I shoot the enemy everything is fine ( sound, fewer bullets ).
When I shoot at the ground, wall, etc. .. (no sound, no fewer bullets).
This situation is when there is no fight.

When a player's turn, and I'm trying to shoot into the ground is CDT.

Revison 1715 with 6258 exe
  • When hiring someone from M.E.R.C. the gear cost doesn't get substracted from the account. A.I.M. does work in this regard.
  • The order of the biographies of the 3 new natives is wrong.
  • On a weapon an removeable attachment A, and an attachment B with the flag 2< are present. Attachment B can be transformed into an attachment C, which is also 2<, but is listed as incompatible with A. Performing this item transformation strangly ejects C from the weapon, not A. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

    Edit: To make is less abstract, in my case backup iron sights get ejected, if i flip them up while a incompatible scope is attached...
  • Skills_Settings.INI: changing POSSIBLE_AIM_CLICK_ADDED_HANDGUNS to 0 doesn't have an effect ingame.
  • Items.xml: Setting PercentReloadTimeAPReduction to negative values does only work if it's present on an attachment, just on a weapon doesn't work.
  • Items.xml: In a exchange with silversurfer he said the tooltip for is wrong, positive values act as a penalty, not a bonus.

Do we fix the description or the code in this case? I have no idea how many modders use this tag.

It should, unless your 6201 exe was built with odd builddefines. Depri's SCI should be ok.
