I had a little dispute with the Kingpin goons in C5 last night and after the smoke cleared I found all the ammo donkeys in Franks bar. Intended or a leftover from testing?

I found another small issue.

Item ID 480 - 5.56 SCF mag is marked "SciFi" while item ID 2371 - ammo donkey for 5.56 SCF is not.

Doesn't make sense to be able to buy the ammo donkey for 5.56 SCF ammo if you can't buy 5.56 SCF ammo.

Also I would propose a rename of all the ammo boxes from "Ammo box, " to ", Ammo box". At the moment it is impossible to see the difference between certain ammo types. Also the boxes don't line up nicely with normal mags. After the rename they are next to their corresponding mags.

Here is an example - before:

after:

Looks much better now, no? Smile

Reversing the calibre and "Ammo Crate," it is so simple and effective. Why didn't I think about this when I was redoing the ammo crates in UC-113NAS earlier...

yeah, I might actually do that sometime...

atm I have other work to do though... adding RAS versions of M16 / M4 variants (and changing the attachment slots of the guns already in game accordingly... the current guns like the M4A1, Colt Commando and such will now only take 2x and 4x Scope and basic lasers. If you want better scopes and lasers you need to add a rail kit).

say smeagol. do you also have some "special weapons" or unique guns planned for AIM, you know, models that perform exeptionally in one special role, that are more versatile than all others and of which you might only be able to get one or very few during the course of the game? you know, just to make it more exciting and maybe get a reason to do some quests or visit some especially difficult sectors?

or mabye some sort of special

hi folks
sry if im a bother
1st of general info, i have the unpatched/standard german version of JA 2 WF

i just downloaded the singleclick installer in the 1st post and i thought it would be an exe file or something like that...

anyway after unpacking the .7z file i get loads of files and my best idea was copying the whole directory into my JA2WF directory, so far so good everything worked fine, i saw an awesome new BG in my laptop Smile

, mercs got updated weapons and all in the recruitment screen

prob is when i try to create my avatar merc the speeches are messed up, when i choose a male char i only get access to 3 voices and the 3rd is female, when i choose a women i also only get 3 voices and out of them only the 1st one works, other 2 are mute

now im quite certain this is all due to me owning the german version so do i need to install a language pack 1st or rename some files or did i fail the entire paching progress all together? oO
there aint even a readme file to go by Sad

anyway some advise would be appreciated Smile

1. Welcome to the Pit, ern3sto :wave:

2. No version of 1.13 or any mod based on 1.13 is supposed to work together with (retail) WildFire, no matter what language. They're all based on vanilla JA2 and need it to work properly.

Vanilla= the ordenary ice and software (here the latest official) JA2

It's called WF mod since it is JA2 1.13 with WF6 maps (and mercs)

The original WF6 is much tougher.

Unfortunately Brot is right. 1.13 Mods won't work with retail version of Wildfire (the one from iDeal Games // Zuxxez). You will need to get your hands on a JA2 Gold version (could be more or less hard to get, but should usually be available at a bargain price IF you can manage to get your hands on it... I bought mine for like 3

Added rail conversions of the following guns:

Colt SMG 9mm
Colt SMG .45
M4A1 -> M4 MWS
M16A2 (was M16A4... the A4 will get a new item) -> M16A2E1
Bushmaster M4A3
.50 Beowulf (the non-rail version now has a carry handle)

also added the MK18 Mod0

Guns with carry handle will only accept 2x and ACOG scopes. Also the amount of lasers will be limited to Laser Sight, Reddot Lam, Insight Lam-200 and AN/PEQ (so basically no more Rifle LAM on those guns... if you want a rifle LAM, you'll need to get a rail version).

Rail version weigh 0.1 more and are slightly harder to repair (-1 to repair difficulty) and of course will take a bit more attachments, but otherwise are exactly the same.

Actually, for B. you will probably want either the 1-click installer from here, as the one you are pointing to above is about a half a year out of date, or Tais' single-click installer from here, where the Wildfire one already includes AIMNAS.

Quick question. I've been playing through with AIMNAS and love it (Thanks for your hard work!) but I've ran into a weird problem. I have "WHICH_MINE_SHUTS_DOWN" set to 0 and yet the Drassen mine shut down. I had a save from before I got the notice, so I reloaded but it didn't do any good it still shutdown.

Any ideas or ways to reverse it? Smile

Also I would propose a rename of all the ammo boxes from "Ammo box, " to ", Ammo box". At the moment it is impossible to see the difference between certain ammo types. Also the boxes don't line up nicely with normal mags. After the rename they are next to their corresponding mags.

There is a very specific reason why I didn't do it that way. I remembered today when I worked on the XMLs in the editor. And The reason is really rather simple: It is much more convenient, when the editor sorts the stuff alphabetically (this way all ammo box items are neatly sorted after magazine type items...). This makes it much easier for me to mod the stuff. Thus a renaming of those boxes probably won't happen, sorry. Sad

Maybe I shorten ammo box to A.B. or something...

I've seen this happen as well, and I expect it's a problem with the executable, not AIMNAS per se. I think the only way around this in a current game is to hexedit the save.

See silversurfer's post in another thread for details.

I doubt it. In the linked thread, it looks like the issue has been found and that someone was working on it, but when exactly that trickles down into a version of Tais' SCI is anybody's guess.

Whenever it happens to me, my solution is always to sell off everything not bolted down and then take Alma. Very Happy

@Smeagol

I was pretty sure that you need this "Ammo box" string for searching and modding. That's why I didn't want to remove it completely although from the picture we can clearly see it is an ammo box.
Well, it doesn't bother me anymore because I already renamed mine but for the other players it might help if you rename them to something shorter. Smile

This is caused by a bug. It's already fixed in the latest code revision but that doesn't help players who started their game with a bugged exe. If you are into hex editing you might try my solution which I posted over here:

http://www.ja-galaxy-forum.com/board/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=262256#Post262256

If your mine is already shut down (doesn't produce anything anymore) you might need to check "fShutDownIsPermanent" and "fShutDown" as well. If you only have been warned about the coming shutdown the solution that I provided to Logisteric should do.

edit: oops, there already was another page. Very Happy
