Yeah, Wildfire is made by a oval office who really didn't know poo poo when he modded.

And no, I'm not bitter SF picked up his mod while our excellent and completely original Urban Chaos mod was ignored.

I just found an interesting quirk. In my latest game, I resigned Ira to permanent militia duty, and pumping out roving militia patrols. One of them attacked the capitol's outskirts, and managed to take the sector. I moved my mercs into there to captalize, and showed up at the same time a counter-attack came. The tanks were still there, and much to my surprise - were counted as militia units. They tore Dedriana's troops apart like nothing.
Yeah, when you take Meduna and train milita you'll have tanks on your side; 1.13 addition that kick rear end.

Speaking of Fidel, he's just gone and loving quit on me. He claimed he wasn't getting enough excitement/kills, despite having blown a Redshirt's loving head off on the previous mission. Plus there's no more unequip/reequip glitch to get round his "I won't move or change targets until this guy's loving DEAD!" schtick. Ah well, I've gone with the :canada: cliche Smoke, eh? Maybe he'll be as good a Marksman as Fidel.

1. Fidel, IIRC; needs at least a 1.5 or 2.0 kill quota per mission; this includes missions where he is off duty/training/sleeping/patient so he(and others like him) are kinda hard to keep around. He also might've just carried a lot of money and made of with it for shits and giggles.

2. Put a knife in the offhand and when in battle screen mode, right-click on the knife to switch place with the main gun to make him able to move again.

You can have crazy rear end prototype guns that were actually made and fired by humans for fun, and have it still seem realistic enough. But having a minigun is probably too far out there. I kind of agree with them, at least with the main branch.

Me too; I don't want loving miniguns, vanilla rocket rifles or the eraser guns from Dedrianna Lives in JA2; if anything just make them sci-fi only.

In my efforts for creating an all-girl game, I've noticed that the best combination is a female IMP with some mechanical and good marksmanship, Raven, and Spider.

Actually, Raven does pretty much all the killing. Give her an M16 with a scope and she becomes this unstoppable rape machine early in the game.

Can't you just hire Vicky for mechanical needs?

I think normally you're supposed to be able to take a total of about 50k(most of it in the abandoned nearby mines) but no, the car isn't usually there.

Wildfire is a pretty lovely mod though so I don't get why you're playing it but whatever floats your boat. :)

Because it's a pay for mod that got officially supported when there was another much better mod that actually completely change the campaign instead of just adding more guns and enemies, Urban Chaos.

Also, the creator of Wildfire is an arrogant dick.

Props to you man. You made one hell of a nice mod :)

I'm trying to do something much, much smaller than anything you guys did and it's so difficult I'm near giving up. My hat goes off to you.
Don't get me wrong; I didn't do much of the programming poo poo. I mostly designed guns, helped Rude Dog set up the asylum characters and made some of the simpler maps(and several that were unused).

I also made my own mod on the side, Gideon's Mini Mod but it was pretty horrible; I need dudes telling me what to do. ;)

Oh, and the dude the character Rude Dog is based on is a loving idiot. He was the biggest annoyance with the team by far and the fact that he got his self-insert in the game still annoys me.

Don't remember "Rude Dog" but I'll take your word for it that he's a retard.
He's the first recruitable NPC you meet in the game.

Anyway, you did a good job on the guns. Which maps did you do if you don't mind my asking?
I mostly worked on Russian guns(as that's my forté) and the maps I did were mostly military bases and complexes; don't really remember where they ended up.

I don't have the unused maps still but they were for the Drassen replacement but after I had done them another dude figured out that we could do several-story buildings so we replaced my maps.

quote:

I'll cruise around and see what kind of work you did on that mini-mod as I'm always interested in what people have done. You should also consider releasing the unused maps you did if you still have them.
On that mini-mod I did ALL work but I'm not sure if the files are around anymore. It wasn't much though, I uniformized the guns(so that a country wouldn't have weapons from 20 different countries, essentially removed almost all NATO guns), removed the rocket rifles because they're dumb, switched up an NPC or two and raised all damage to make combat really lethal even in late-game.

You need a guy with, IIRC, at least 50 leadership and a non-hostile personality to talk to Conrad. Once again, IIRC, the order is Direct>Recruit for 5500 a day. Say no to this and he'll go down to 3300 a day.

drat, why do I remember this without having played the game for over a year?

As such, I won't install this mod. More mercs is fine but keep the dead dead and reinstate those that actually fit in such as Kelly, Boss, Spam, Rusty, and Spike. You could also reinstate Vinny, Leech, Jimmy and maybe even Postie but they'd be M.E.R.C.s, nothin' else.

I have Scully on my team, and when I heard him go "please...let it not be Mike" I thought it was because he was scared. Nope, Scully got the kill shot and was all :emo: "...he was my friend"

This is insanely effective when you want to enter a room full of dudes. With names like eagle fearball it's strange that the game wasn't developed in Japan.

After finally beating JA2 1.13, I then went on to play and beat the original. The second one is a better game, but the first has this pick-up and play, instant gratification appeal for me. It would make the perfect game for a portable console these days.

Speaking of the counter-attack does anyone remember an old total conversion mod called "Urban Chaos". I remember younger me playing that game and finding out the hard way that all mercs start out naked. No weapons, no armor, nothing. I thought I installed it wrong. There were also around 20-30+ enemies per cell. It was insane and to this day I can't see how anyone could possible beat it.

I wonder what ever happened to that mod? It was MASSIVE. Almost all cells were replaced with a huge sprawling metropolis that you could go indoors and everything. Even had a subway system.
I worked on it(old version, stopped modding when the source came out because gently caress that poo poo) and yeah, it was loving insane. It had some blemishes(some of the voice acting, the Rude Dog mercenary, the kick-in-the-balls start) but it were by far the best pre-1.13 mod ever released for that game.
