I do hope you changed USERNAME to be your, y'know, actual Windows username. You might need admin rights to see it. I have UAC set to auto-elevate me for browsing folders so I don't remember. You could also type it in by hand and probably bypass the issue entirely, like instead of trying to browse folders just open up windows explorer and type in (no quotes) "C:\users\myusernamegoeshere\AppData\Local" ... but it's there, I swear! e: oh if you have hidden folders set to be, well, hidden, follow these steps: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1521/how_to_view_hidden_and_system_files_and_folders_in_vista/ then you can actually see them.

Explosives are completely hosed to the point they can't be used, line of sight and intercepts are just a bit strange and if the enemy takes camo and you don't (gentlemen's rules) prepare to get hosed in the rear end. Has anyone here tried a coop campaign? Does it work at all? It sounds like it would be a ton of fun, coop tactical games are few and far between.

Man I would be lying if I didn't agree that this game is slow. Probably one of the slowest I've ever played. I guess it's a good thing it is fun as hell hmm? I have a question about guns. So many of these guns have identical stats at Bobby Ray's. Should I just be choosing guns (after having selected from range and damage) based on personal preference or are there hidden stats behind each one?

Bobby Ray's only tells half the picture, you have to have one in your inventory to see the full stats, which sucks. The base damage will be changed by what ammo you load into it but that is mostly situational, like hollowpoints sucking against armour. I think it's meant to reflect the barrel length and natural accuracy of the gun, as more accurate shots = better damage according to the JA2 simulation.

Godamn this game is frustrating sometimes. I took the drassen airport after killing 2 patrols on the way from the starting zone. My guys are kind of wounded so im sitting there doctor/patienting it up. 13 Guys show up. I hole up inside a building in there. Playing iron man here, this is the following attempts: 1: Everyone sitting inside 4x5 room guns pointed at door. Gun down anyone who opens it. 1 person left outside. I sneak out to kill him. He spots my guys sneaking crouched down inside the building. Fires one round through the window, striking my IMP in the head, instantly killing him. Reload. 2: Try again. Kill everyone but 2 left. Walk out to hunt them down. The two guys are about 5 tiles away on the other side of the room, critical. IMP guy kills one. I have one merc with AP left. 75% Chance to hit the guy. I fire twice. I miss twice. He shoots Ira in the brain. Reload. 3: Same deal. Everyone sneeling covering door. Bad guys open door. None of my guys get interrupts. Guy who opens door shoots Ira, who is prone hiding behind 3 guys and on the other side of the room. One hit to the head instant kill. He shuts the door politely. Reload 3: Have one guy outside covering door to previous room. Someone walks through. 99% chance to hit. I tell him to fire 3 round burst. He fires 15 rounds, burning all his AP. Another guy walks through with dual pistols and kills him dead. Alt X. This game is really loving frustrating in the beginning when you're broke and have lovely gear...

webcomics thread posted:Bobby Ray's only tells half the picture, you have to have one in your inventory to see the full stats, which sucks. While true, most of the hidden stats aren't really a big enough deal to matter. Get what you want. If you absolutely positively must min/max the 1.13 devs have a hard-on for HK, so I'm sure their guns are just that tiny bit better in the stats. Well, I should clarify - the 'hidden stats' tend to be more or less consistent across caliber/weapon-class. So a G3 and a FAL are going to be pretty similar in the hidden stats, in my experience. Obviously a FAL and an M60 are going to be different.

A mission-based mod for 1.13 (sort of like Deadly Games) would be really awesome if done properly. I quite often get tired of the lack of tactical variety in JA2. It's pretty much always "kill all hostiles in sector", occasionally with a gimmick to spice things up. It would be nice to have some sort of mission listing with a wide variety of objectives, like rescue/extraction, material recovery, assassination, sabotage, recon, etc. and have a choice of one-off missions with a fixed budget for quick games, or a "career mode" where you can use your pay for better gear or training.

Not a single crash. EDIT: Also what the gently caress is it with Bobby Ray not stocking 5.45 mags but he has ammo cases for it.

Actually what you have to do is drag the weapon onto the ammo case and it creates 5 mags that then get placed in your inventory. Jesus christ though, there is just too many weapons now - it's ridiculous. I spend more time in Bobby Ray's than I do actually shooting bad guys. I'm supposed to be saving up for Magic, but I keep blowing all my money on matching Spetznaz outfits and other random crap.

Why all the Ira hate? early game shes a decent enough a medic and pack-mule, enough so that I don't have to worry about spending money to hire another merc for those tasks (early on I want to use my money to hire a good merc for a short while, to get myself footed in the country and also to get his weapon afterwards :v). And if you let her practice and shoot in a while, she becomes a respectable enough shot, for free. Yeah, her voice is annoying, but not enough to negate the above.

Godamnit ok this is frustrating. It seems every one of my guns is jamming like crazy now. At least 6-12 times per battle, usually with 2 or 3 back to back jams. My mercs have from 0 to about 45ish mechanical skill, more than 80ish marksmanship. Its happening with every kind of gun I pick up regardless of condition. WTF is going on? Is there like a cleaning kit item they added in im not seeing or something? Is there a way to clear a jam other than trying to shoot?

It should stop the AI from trying to run up to right up to your face with a pistol. EDIT2: Hahahhaahhaa .38 Chief's range is 2 tiles.

This is from forever and a week ago, but I use 165% damage for my explosives. So in the JA2 ini set the explosives variable to 65 (it's 100+X%, you define x) and go have fun.

I'm having a lot of problems with militia being totally worthless. I'm used to needing to retrain SAM garrisons after every attack, but the 20 guys I can put in there can't seem to win against the forces that get sent to attack them on a regular basis. I have to save before every attack, reload several times and pray. I also just got attacked in Alma by 20 troops and my 40 militia (20 regular, 20 green) were able to kill a grand total of one enemy before they were all slaughtered. I'm only playing on Expert. Is this normal? In vanilla JA I never remember having these problems.

Yeah I'm using Possum's mod, it's actually a "feature" of it. Still, its actually stable and doesn't crash at all, apparently unlike the very latest DBB build (907 I think). I went through the weapons.xml and restored pistol ranges and fixed up some SMG ranges while I was at it too. If anyone wants I can upload my changed XML file somewhere.
