Those downloads are falling like pantyhose from a five-dollar woman!

BREAKING NEWS - VENGEANCE: RELOADED NEW BUILD NOW AVAILABLE

'The Wanton Winter' edition is now available via GITHUB, please navigate to the bottom of this thread for more info.


https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/2b4a/f7ygtuupra8xdih9g.jpg

For those who prefer a Single Click Installer you can download our latest complete Beta English release (just extract this over a fresh JA2 install, no 1.13 files required. That's it, ready to play):
https://www.mediafire.com/file/yibw3k0fn5zv5ci/Vengeance_Reloaded_Wanton_Winter_Jan_2024_English_Full.7z/file


https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/9657/pn01s5qd3mtmzs3bg.jpg


Alternatively a download from the Bear Pit's Kermi mirror is available here:
https://storage.rcs-rds.ro/links/4729f8d6-f44b-42b7-aa3e-e0ddc6deead6?path=%2FJA_2%2FMods_v1.13%2FVengeance_Reloaded

When playing Vengeance, ensure you use the JA2_Vengeance.exe - Using the normal ja2.exe will not work, and will corrupt your data!

It is also highly recommended to turn off all antivirus software when playing V:R (and most other JA mods for that matter) or set an exception for JA2_Vengeance.exe. We discovered even programs like Avast can cause issues, crashes or even prevent you saving games at times.

If you are a Windows 10 user you will need to use the Win10 fix outlined here below;

https://thepit.ja-galaxy-forum.com/index.php?t=msg&goto=349351&
and available to download here;
https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2_v1.13_data/GameDir/Docs/Windows%20Compatibility%20Fixes/Windows%207-10%20Fix.zip
It's important that PerformanceFix.reg points to location of JA2_Vengeance.exe, not just ja2.exe.




Thanks to all team members, contributors and those playing and providing bug reports and constructive feedback

Finally, ini options have been set to provide a challenging but fair game environment with the intention for balance.


Also with VR having more than a few extra features, we also needed a few extra keyboard shortcuts, listed below:

- Ctrl+D - skip interrupts for this merc only (original interrupt system)
- Ctrl+Alt+D - skip interrupts for player team (original interrupt system)
- use [l] key to raise your weapon or binoculars then right click to scan
- use [u] key to manually unjam gun*

*Due to 1.13 having so many gun jams an unjam feature was added where mercs can attempt to unjam their weapon. Enemies also have this ability and it is bound to be a common sight on the battlefield. We recommend keeping LESS_JAMS ini option set to TRUE, unless you want repeated veiws of your team and opponents unjamming their weapons, especially at the start of the game when Arulco's army has poor quality guns.

If you find the game gets stuck with a never-ending stopwatch animation (usually during the enemies turn) we suggest hitting the Esc key, this can sometimes break the deadlock and continue playing.

Hi, it keeps sayin smackw32.dll file is missing, which is not, because this file is just there. But its ok for me, I guess I am gonna wait until the final version is out anyway. I hope, its not going to be forever, because this finally looks great and I appreciate you stick with the old fashioned inventory too. Thanks

Issues with smackw (which is mainly for front end movie animations) could be just an install error and is an old problem, but not one I've heard for a while. Try installing your base game first and give it another go, or alternatively someone maybe able to upload another .dll file.

We may well have a new SCI soon with an updated exe for some of the more common bugs showing up on the boards. We have tried to cater to old and new players alike and personally I'm not a fan of the new inventory system, but at least having the choice keeps everyone happy most of the time.

Not entirely, Anv's full time work in the games industry takes up most of his time but he's been kind enough to fix up some old stuff that was broken or unfinished which we're eternally thankful for.

A changelog would be good, but we haven't done one for years. I might piece together a few notes or what I can remembers been fixed or added.

Most mods tend to remain Beta to the end of days, so you might as well give the Beta a go. Most of our .exe updates seem compatible with old saves to some degree, but it's not guaranteed. The more people playing and reporting bugs will only improve the latest version.

fix: camo/stealth from face items should be applied correctly

Added modular barrel merges for Aug HBAR, A2 and CGQ versions so you can switch between each dependent on barrel choice

A number of map borders were updated

More facegear graphic updates

Item size fix for .30 car mag T

A number of NADA items nuked

JSD's corrected for well

Added barrel kit merges for HK 417 as well as AG36 launcher attachments, HK417 barrels can be used to swap barrel (to cool down weapon)

XM84 Stun Grenade fixed

Fixed Beowulf ammo type magazines

Beowulf upper converts M4A1 into .50 Beowulf rifle (also for C-Mag variants)

****Known issues****

*Crashes when assigning tasks from vehicle
A few reports have highlighted crashes when traveling via vehicles and then assigning mercs to tasks or using sector facilities. It is suggested to have all mercs exit vehicles before assigning them to other tasks. Do not assign tasks while they are still in the vehicle. This is not a definite fix but seems to limit the chances of crashes.

*Old Bloodcat ambush bug still present
Being ambused by Bloodcats can sometimes lock up game. Progress has been made with Flugente find some stray code. Seven FM is looking to integrate this fix to see if it puts this bug to rest for Vengeance: Reloaded.


*Ultimate Fighting Contest bug still present
It has been recently reported that the old bug where Kingpin heads toward the boxing ring and then stalls has reared it's head again. This is an old bug that plagued Vanilla, and was thought squashed, but sometimes occurs. Best to ensure you save before talking to Darren or initiate the ultimate boxing fight.

*Some snitches still refer to Vanilla NPC's when reporting.

*It has been noted recently that there can be issues relating to newly recruited mercs arriving by parachute later on in the game, sometimes the plane flying overhead sound can be heard but no parachute animation plays and the game goes into a strange loop or you cannot assign your new recruit. It is suggested you try and save your game before this happens, as usually you will need to come out of this looping game and reload. Usually the issue disappears once reloading or you can move mercs to an adjoining map to have them appear in game. Another option to break this loop is hitting the Esc key. In fact hitting the Esc key whenever the game locks up can sometimes be an easy way out of a number of issues.

Hello Folks!

Coming back to JA2 after being away for FAAAAAAR too long!

Does the Vengeance mod require the Experimental Project 7...?

Am I correct in that it adds more to SevenFM's mod, or...?

No, you don't need to add the Experimental project. However Vengeance does use a few (more than a few!) of Seven's features, as he is coding on this mod.

sevenfm: Thank you very much for the update. I just finished altering a bunch of settings in the JA2_options.ini from the Data-Vengeance directory. Will this update overwrite those settings if I install it? Also, are there any new adjustable variables to that JA2_options.ini...? The reason why I ask, if there aren't any new adjustable variables, I'll just backup my modified JA2_options.ini and reinstall it after I install the Vengeance update.

Also - the update has two compressed files in it. One file's larger than the other. Could someone summarize for me what the difference is between the two files? Is the larger file more experimental, or...?

To everyone who has contributed to this endeavor: thank you for all of your hard work! It's hard to take in all of the amazing additions that have been made to the default JA2. There's a lot to be proud of here.

@Kyle
There are no new settings as far as I know, so you can use your options file. I would not recommend installing new version on old gamedir, instead better make new installation over clean vanilla ja2 in a separate folder, and copy your settings there. You can also use winmerge if you want to check for changed default options in new SCI.
There are no compressed files in VR SCI, it's just one archive file that you need to unpack over clean ja2.

make sure that all files from the .7z are unpacked to the main folder (some files need to be replaced) and start the game with the ja2_vengeance.exe. I had the same message today happy

When i start the game using ja2.exe i get the error:

Using vanilla Ja2.exe in 1.13 folder corrupts game data so you need to reinstall the game.
Why are you running ja2.exe when this game uses it's own Ja2_Vengeance.exe? It will not work even if you use stock 1.13 ja2.exe

Hawkeye, I would like to introduce myself and also thank you very much for your mod! You see I sadly am a widower who sadly lost my wife and my children in late 2017. This game and your mod got me through some extremely difficult times and allowed me to focus on things besides my loss. I found it one day after not having played JA2 for like 10 years. So thank you for all your time and effort it is much appreciated!! Also, I have always been a Paradox Interactive player for like forever and have modded them just as long. I have as a hobby been practicing and modding this game or learning to as it is a bit challenging. If you need any assistance I gladly offer my services to assist you in your mod. Warms regards Stavian

Thanks Stavian, glad you liked it and the work from Scheinworld, Anv, SevenFM, Kazuya, Exurok, DepressiveBrot, Ed Mortimer and a host of other developers that made this project what it is.

I've messaged you privately if you want to read more.

will cheats ever be included? or did i miss something, or is this a deleted feature?
love the mod btw, nice work, thanks happy


The most thought question i have on JA2 is, what exactly is the difference between Cheat Level 1 and 2 because in uhh... 1.12 and up you only have cl 2

Early on in development the team decided to withhold the cheat feature, one of the main reasons for this was to encourage play testers to report bugs and evaluate balancing better. Unfortunately the GABBI cheat can compromise the game's integrity, and no one wants to seek out bugs that normally wouldn't appear without cheating.

This may change in the future as Vengeance has been around for a couple of years now publicly, but we are still searching and destroying bugs when we can find them.

BETA 5 Changelog (11th July - 2nd Jan 2019)

CODE & GENERAL GAME


default Ini settings changed
lowered MAX_STRATEGIC_ENEMY_GROUP_SIZE to 20
set MINES_SPOTTED_NO_TALK = TRUE
less aiming in heap firing mode
lowered prone cover effectiveness

set TILES_MOVED_PER_BONUS_TOLERANCE_POINT = 10 for better suppression tolerance balance

Ja2_Vengeance.exe r1969
r8596 Fix: throwing knives disappear when hitting corpses (by Flugente)
suppression: better integer calculation of AP loss
don't show "blow up" in transformation menu for grenades/explosives with 'flare' flag

r8586 fix: release exes could crash when hovering in the save screen (by Flugente)
r8589 fix: invalid edgepoint selection (by The_Bob)
small code improvements

r8581 fix: deleting a face with invalid pointer leads to first mercs having Skyrider's face (by Flugente)
r8582 fix: face gear was not shown for non-IMP mercs if their face index wasn't their profile number (by Flugente)
don't allow drinking from canteen with status 1
r8583 fix: when Larry changes profiles, several stats are not properly copied; when Larry changes profiles, Goodguy is always copied over (by Flugente)

<PercentStatusDrainReduction>: better integer calculation, always use at least 1 kit point
voice taunts: fix for using last taunt variant
check that " LAST" file exists before playing custom last sound to avoid warnings in log files

r8136:
Fix: Get Item assignement: if no valid gridno is found, let the game find one upon loading the sector instead of risking a

wrong gridno assignment
Fix: When dropping an item in strategic inventory, height values are not set
Fix: When looking for a valid gridno to drop items t via strategic inventory, WORLD_ITEM_REACHABLE is not reliable, as

updated map topology trumps this. Instead rely upon finding a valid gridno once the sector is entered.
Fix: when searching for a new item dropoff gridno, search for new height too
Fix: if items are spawned mid-air, the player cannot retrieve them

r7995 bugfix: Reinforcements: Parts of roadblocks were resurrected after reinforcements death (by navaroe)
r8100 fix: sometimes items moved by the MOVEITEM assignment are left unreachable
r8050: When displaying a merc's maximum assignment points, factor in backgrounds values.

r7988:
Bugfix - POWs' activity level being overwritten

Bugfix - mercs treated at facilities should not use mercs' medkits
Bugfix for facility patients not detected as being in a facility
Bugfix - iBurstAPCost was ignoring half of its calculation due to extraneous semicolon
r7724 Bugfix: When using a vehicle to move to an enemy sector mercs will force exit the vehicle. In this case the team panel sort order was random depending on which merc was last selected. This problem occurred because the sort function for the squad was not called for this scenario. It is now called whenever a merc is added to a squad. Because of this the call for the sort function was removed from function SetAssignmentForList(). We do not need to call it twice.

r8354:
Fix: if merc cannot complain about his equipment due to being asleep or on duty, retry an hour later
Fix: in AIM bios, show max life, not life at start of game
Fix: typo resulted in AIM mercs not refusing job because of hated mercs present when they should do so

r8384 fix: crash when loading a savegame repeatedly due to initialisation flag not being reset (by Flugente)
r8380 fix: crash when entering combat without any mercs in sector on duty (by Flugente)
new function: NumPlayerTeamMembersInSector (returns how many members of a team are in a sector - only intended for OUR_TEAM!

POWs not included)
r8385 Fix: deadlock on ammo creation popup
r8391 Fix: When reading in Skills_Settings.ini, NUMBER_OF_MAJOR_TRAITS_ALLOWED_FOR_IMP is now limited by min

(NUMBER_OF_MAJOR_TRAITS_ALLOWED, MAX_NUMBER_OF_TRAITS_FOR_IMP - 1)
r8395 Fix: If troops spawn at the very northern edge of a sector, we often barely see them, and cannot target their head or

torso. To stop that from happening, do not spawn there. (by Flugente)
r8397 fix: game info display showed incorrect levels for BR
r7337: If <BloodiedItem> is set on a blade, the blade weapon will be replaced with the specified item when a person is hit with it. (by Flugente)

r8399

HourlyLarryUpdate:
initialize fBar for each soldier
check facility instead of hardcoded sectors

fix tracer effect for single shot

Hi Hawkeye, Great mod! Question for you if you could help me out. I'm trying to make some update to the "XML Editor" but these updates aren't carrying through to the game 'JA2_Vengeance." Any tip?

I'm hoping I'm not saving the update correctly. For example I had difficulties getting my updates to the "INI Editor" carry to the game, but discovered that I needed to change the default drop down "Select INI-File:" from "Data-1.13\Ja2_Options.INI" to "Data-Vengeance\Ja2_Options.INI"

Any help you or anyone can provide would be great.

Hey Sub, unfortunately the XML editor is broken, and has been for some years, it shouldn't be used for Vengeance, or any other mod for that matter. The dev team actually faced huge issues with this program after it corrupted a lot our data during development. If you want to make any xml changes, you'll have to do it the old fashioned way with a text editor such as Notepad +.

I'm not too familiar with the ini editor I'm afraid, and suspect that's a bit out of date too. Again best to just edit your changes in a text file, perhaps not the easiest or prettiest way of doing it, but arguably the most efficient.

Hawkeye, thank you so much. There's just one more fix I can't figure out:

-Changing the screen resolution from default (1024x768) to 1280x600. I only know how to update this via the "INI Editor" (looking to avoid using as it could cause added problems). Thoughts on were else I can more safely update?

You can change the game's resolution by editing the Ja2.ini file with a text editor, it's near the end of the file. This file sits in your parent folder (not the Data-Vengeance folder.)

Hello guys and girls !
I am trying to start a brand new VR game but i am having a problem, hopefully a little one. It's the exact same problem as in message #354147, on Page 1 of this thread. Can't find the missing SLF. How can i solve this problem ? I am using the latest download Feb 2021 and the r2730 exe as per instructions. If i am doing something wrong, i am not aware of it. I don't want to reinstall from the zip again, since i have already made my changes in the INI.Editor. I just can't start the game. I hope that there is a simple solution. Also, while i am trying to replace the JA2 exe with the r2730 renamed one, i get a message that it cannot be done because JA2 Gold is open in another program. No such thing though. Only things open are the VR INI.Editor and the web browser.
