7.62 crashes constantly from a nasty memory leak. It will crash after it's been open for a few hours, regardless of what you're doing. Did you do much for cheesing cash? Mercs are stupid expensive to hire iirc.

Sperglord Actual posted:Two, actually - one for members of the major armed factions, another for civilian bystanders. The default is two free hits on armed people, but zero on civvies. basically yeah. If you hit that little button in the bottom corner to have dudes raise their guns, they'll keep 'em raised. It's really useful in firefights, popping around corners and having your sniper watch a location and stuff. By the way, when you enter Sagrada for all of those ambushes, did you enter by the school/stuff or the police station? Because I always entered by the police station and had to go find the ambushers.

Man, why does like no merchant carry boxes of 5.56x45? I keep having to buy up loving mini-14 magazines and unload 'em. Additionally, nice handling of that quest. I could never quite do it right. Probably because i'm really lazy.

Do you know where the dudes you hire to your base show up? like I can't find Stefan or the mechanic. (I also can't get the trader cause he died in that mission cause the game wasn't like 'HEY rear end in a top hat SAVE THIS DUDES LIFE" and I didn't realize how important he was to save. Are you having trouble finding/getting magazines? It seems that now merchants are actually carrying 5.56, even if it is just lovely made in palinero rounds, they can't seem to be bothered to carry that many magazines.

Sperglord Actual posted:Stefan Uribe is found in Cali-Cantinos, inside the church behind Rico Reyes. The mechanic hangs out in the bar in Ciudad de Oro. Yeah. I can't get anything other than 30rders for my AR-15 types for some reason. I know where they spawn originally, but I've recruited them to my base but they haven't appeared there. I am excited by all the guns and poo poo I'm getting, though it seems like everyonce in a while my mercs go completely loving dumb. THat last mission with the Jingo's was sorta wonderfully unfair, but I ended up doing a mission for the dudes in Olvega that's just a loving pain in the rear end. It's the same map as the "bushwhacked" map where you recover the gold, you start out near the trucks but not near you ride, and there's a poo poo load of dudes to shoot; but they are apparently hard to shoot because i'm not even a hundred yards from them and I can barely get a shot on these dudes in the middle of the day. Oh and it for supposedly being an 'ambush', i have no choice in where I start/my dudes are/anything which is lame as gently caress. Also your mercs should be standing around in town, not disappearing when you go to a doctor.

Give it time. They showed up for me eventually. The doctor showed up almost immediately, though. Stefan shows up in your office, right on your left as soon as you walk in. You can try calling him up on that field radio too. You can also call up MERC for mercs, and bobby rays for guns and things. Bobby Rays is a bit awkward ordering from but he does have non-lovely 5.56 and 7.62, so  . All that stuff gets delivered to your locker, which is basically an infitely huge box you can access with the radio/bar traders.By the way, do you know of a way to make the enemy move up? There's a group of dudes stuck around on the corner on that mountain encounter, who have all gone prone and basically refuse to do anything other than shoot me and throw grenades. EDIT; also about that mission I was complaining about earlier: It'll piss off the government, so make sure to scrounge up uniforms from the dead dudes if you ever wanna go into a pro government town ever again. The dudes the Blue Sun dudes have you fight also carry uniforms that'll let you walk around towns fairly easily. SpookyLizard fucked around with this message at May 20, 2012 around 06:30 |

Also here are some organizational tips and poo poo i've found: Those marked backpacks the traders sell? They don't do anything any other backpack doesn't, they just make it easier to identify different bags. I keep one for all the ammo my dudes use, one for grenades, one for traps (which can be loving murderous (show us this)), one for uniforms, one for general poo poo (radio, cleaning kits, extra medkits), one for alternate weapons for my dudes and one or two empty ones for carrying cool poo poo back to the armory. 40mm grenades can be stacked ontop of each other to save space. The game gives no indication as to how many are there unless you bring up the info pane, however. Loose ammo can be carried in stacks of up to 100 hundred. This is good for ammo that doesn't come in packs of fifty, like shells for your shotguns and rifle rounds. There's also a sorta bug where if you unload the ammo from a crate it'll be like 500 rounds in a stack of 2x2 but you can't add any ammo to it. You can however add ammo to the crates. Also on healing dudes: quick save before talking to the doctor. If the character disappears off the map after having them stay with the doc, reload. They may only show up if one of your mercs has line of sight to them, so you may wanna see to it that no one goes to the doctor alone.

bunnielab posted:Also I keep seeing (and buying) .458 Socom ammo, has anyone found a gun for this yet? Yeah. HK416 variant. By the way, those G3A3's loving own. Hardcore. Also, I skipped out on that mission because it frustrates me that I'm supposed to 'ambush' dudes but I don't actually get any like... preparation time. Just here's a map, shoot some dudes, have fun. Though I wish I had that's some goddamned nice loot, elephant and all. I should probably go back and do it. More protips: Claymores explode are not directed explosives. They just go boom every which way. Additionally, pressing the buttons on the remote detonator does not require time/anything. If it's in a mercs hand (even if it's before it's in their "hand"), you can press the detonation buttons and everything on the selected channel(s) goes boom). Be wary of these two facts. Also, don't try to open your locker mid combat. Stay off the radio during combat. Trust me on this.

You can handle that whole thing with explosives, by the way. For whatever reason, C4 and Claymores don't like being set off in sympathetic detonations. So you can drop a bunch of claymores there, on two different channels, hit the one group, when the next dudes come in, hit them, victory. Also, I just finished the game. I think i'm gonna start up a new game and actually see the entire civil war through this time. And maybe do your kinda thing with not hiring dudes, and just using free mercs.

Clearly the solution is to do all of it. Ambush 'em with claymores, snipe the survivors with some .50 cal terror, and shoot up the rest of the dudes. Suppressors are broke as gently caress in this game by the way. When you start getting 5.56 and 7.62 suppressors it can make missions hilariously easy.

Also you can go to a bartender ask them to check your locker. It's right under the lets trade option. Useful for before you get the field radio or if you gently caress up and throw the radio in the locker. By the way, today's protip is that you can put a MAC-10 with it's stock folded in a holster, and it draws just as fast as a handgun. Use this knowledge to your advantage. Additionally, you can fit most subguns with stocks folded in the first chest LBE OR the best ammo pouch, the one that's 3x2 with no dividers. You can fit a lot of guns in that. A lot of shorter barreled weapons, like subguns or G3KA4's or those SA58 OSW's into those slots. They'll draw MUCH faster than taking them off of your shoulder. Admittedly you may not draw their stock but that takes a very little amount of time. My current game everyone has like three or four guns on them because of this.

Make sure none of your mercs can be seen, by ANY dudes other than Nunez. Quick save, and wait till it's between 2:30-3:30 (I've made it work between those hours, personally). Pop him with his own gun. Quick save beforehand, quick load a few times to make it work. If it still bugs out, enter/leave town try the next day, etc etc.

Which was really frustrating. More protips: Hold shift to make the speed up the movement of the camera. DrPop posted:How do you get people to fire RPGs and other stuff? I have Rob Yu holding a loaded RPG but no targeting options are available. You should click the button all the way on the bottom of the shooting options, (the largest bullet), and then right click on some place unoccupied until it says "launch". That's how it works for underbarrel grenade launchers and the M79 and China Lake. I figure the RPG's are pretty similar. EDIT: Additional important protip. If you go into your 7.62 Install Dir > Ini > Bluesonmod.ini, you can disable random encounters. I think it's "EnableEncounters" or "EnableRandomEncounters". It can make life a helluvalot easier. It may feel like cheating (it kinda is), but that's up to you. There's a bunch of settings to tweak in there, some require a new game, some don't.

It's in the safe at the army base. Also, I'm fairly certain gear is tied to that Current Game Level thing, like Jagged Alliance's "Coolness" level. If you want to cheese money, you can up your starting money in the .ini file, but that means a new game. You could also dump some cash in the bank and up the interest rate too. Also, the badge that Paquito gives you and the permit that Stefan Uribe gives you open up extra inventories for the traders, which generally carry no body armor/LBE gear (anything under misc), but have piles of good guns, ammo, and gear. They've gotta be in your inventory and it gives the dealers an extra conversation option. Or if you really give no fucks about like progression and just wanna gear up your squad with the raddest guns, you could cheat and use the dev shop.

That's how that mission is supposed to work, Bunnielab. SOmething like that anyway. Also, you can only arm grenades in your 'quick access pockets', the pockets that are on the main interface bar. (it's not obvious btw) You can also just hit "remove bodies" and it drops all of their loot. Their money immediately goes to your wallet. You can also set it so that the militia costs are automatically paid out from the tax fund, if you want to keep that money seperate for whatever reason.
