Can I use my previous save after installing 1.2?

After killing Kingpin+goons, the goons respawn when re-entering the sector.

Hmm, mine was the map subfolder: JA2\Data-AR\Tabledata\Map\

I assume thats ok?

When 1.2 comes out I may bump up my version up to the latest JA2 and test it out.

I hope the mod is well balanced. Haven't played it yet, but I am willing to install Ja2 again just for this mod.

I think it is important that the balance is done well, it should not be too easy - one should not have all the nice weapons too soon, or too much ammo all the time, or too many items at all. This makes the game easy, hence there is no thrill playing it through.

Well, what can I say? Just give AR a try and you'll see if you like it or not.
So far, the feedback we've received implies, that AR is more difficult to play than regular v1.13, especially, because you will encounter more enemies than normal.

What I mean is that I usually have too strong weapons much too soon. After some (ingame) days I usually have the very best long-range and heavy-damage guns, which makes it easy to take out all enemies

Thanks for reporting this.
You're right, this is an old problem. I'm not quite sure if this is more a thing of v1.13 or of AR.

At first i thought, moving access to BR would turn me off. But my old stealing instincts kicked back in, and not really in dire need of gear so far. Though, beeing carefull with certain ammo types, i.e not wasting them, is a new and fun thing.

Hmm, mine was the map subfolder: JA2\Data-AR\Tabledata\Map\

I assume thats ok?

You mean you're copying AR's \tabledata\map subfolder over a running game? I'm sorry, but that will lead to some problems. E.g., the new SAM site will not work 100%.
My guess is, that you can still play & finish the game without running into game-breaking issues.
However, you have been warned. :vader:

Hmm no. I took a new Ja2 install, then installed 5224, then installed AR1.1.

AR 1.1 is the one that put the ShippingDestinations.xml file in the Data-AR\Tabledata\Map\ subfolder.

I was saying "hmm, everyone says it supposed to be in Data-AR\Tabledata\"
But that mine was in a Map subfolder inside Data-AR\Tabledata\

A lot of the items are not placed inside containers. They just lay on top of closed containers.
I still have to pick em up by hand though, as they dont show up in the sector inventory

Hehe. I guess, you forgot to turn off ALT+E.

Why not update to 5280 ?

Are there any specific ini settings you guys recommend for playing with this mod? Enemy item speed is set to slow or very slow, BR minimal, no enemy weapon drops, thats pretty basic. Anything else? Is double garrison size and "MAX_NUMBER_ENEMIES_IN_TACTICAL "60" a bit too much?

Hello all,

I just tried AR1.2 with r4870 looks nice but:
Why Tony is wandering around San Mona and refuses to buy weapons from some of my mercs? Should I upgrade v1.13?

Hello IoP.

No need to use a newer version of v1.13. AR is developed to work with rev. 4870 of v1.13.
The most important question to you: Are you sure you followed the installation instructions of AR?

If you want to get rid of this problem, you should try and reinstall v1.13 and AR.

If you also want to help with the development of AR:
Could you please look into your .\Data-1.13\TableData\NPCInventory\ directory and post a copy of TonyInventory.xml file?
And could you please pick v1.13 as you Mod and try, if this problem persists if you're not playing AR mod?

Clean install + unrar official v1.13 + unrar AR1.2. Tony not buying my staff was user error.
Now I'm trying to reproduce why tone start moving around but run second problem:
I can find pantsuit loretta once per game. After picking up it + load it disappears from crate but reappear after I reboot my game

i think ive found the secret room. There was something in the level that cought my eye, so i investigated.
:bomb:
Not to spoil anything, but you might want to halve the amount of gold in further releases.
That would still be plenty imho.

I've been using the 5280 build with AR 1.2 and it seems to work well. I use an edited mercprofiles from 5224 (deleting the ar-data one)with the following edit:

I really enjoy the whole philosophy of this mod, not just the cool new maps. It might be a question of whether you are one of those (like me) who love the 'sneak around, punching enemies out thieving' way of life, but if you hate to reload then that's not going to appeal. Has anyone tried slow weapon progression yet?

BTW...one bug I noticed was Jimmy (maybe important that he's a DG merc) sometimes (with AR 1.1 so far) needs to repeat an action (the first time I get a clock cursor for 30 seconds) to make it happen. When it's tossing a grenade, the first grenade disappears, but the second throws fine. Never seen that before.

Yep, you found the secret place.
Apart from maybe halving the money, I might as well put the secret entrance somewhere else - seems like a lot of people already found it.

Just some more feedback on the AR 1.1 with 5224 game on expert I'm playing.

... Even the seemingly low pricing on the DG mercs ...

Once again, Congrats JAsmine
