Bought this game during the steam sale and it's absolutely fantastic. You can get a one-click installer here rather than downloading Tortoise because you're not going to be changing the source so who the gently caress cares: http://www.ja-galaxy-forum.com/board/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=172234&page=1#Post172234

rapidshare.com I'm playing sci-fi mode and as a result I'm in the mines. gently caress these bugs. I'm running out of ammo fighting them - I didn't realize I'd have to be prepared for 6 or so screens worth of these fucks. I've got Tixa, Alma, and Drassen...I'm thinking about re-starting and not playing sci-fi anymore. The mines are the only thing sci-fi mode adds?

Georg LeBoui posted:By the way, now that I'm attacking towns and all that, has anyone ever attempted to form a SWAT-like team that can quickly storm through a building? Or would this be impossible on the JA2 engine? The enemy often isn't in the buildings, though. When they are, I've found its much more effective to blow a hole in the wall with TNT while having a couple of snipers waiting for the hole, and then storming the building with the semi-auto 40mm grenade launcher. In other news I just used the semi-auto 40mm GL today and its loving awesome. So are mortars. It took me about 20 hours to get the heavy weaponry but now that I have it, this game is even more awesome. I just wish bobby ray would sell more than 1-2 mortar shells at a time.

Wait, how many IMP mercs can you get? I thought you only got one?

HoldYourFire posted:With 1.13 you can get six (one for every voice set), by re-entering the activation code into IMP's website. Wow that seems really cheap. $3k for a merc with customized attributes beats the hell out of hiring a team of dudes, seems like it would mess with the balance a bit. Good to know for playthrough 2

physeter posted:I've never been able to figure out how to effectively use auto fire in 1.13. I know how to switch the modes on the gun, but it seems like my merc will either shoot just one bullet (waste of AP, potentially getting himself killed by a counterattack), or if I click frantically, he might randomly unleash anywhere from 2-6 bullets. right-click to add bullets (and AP) to a shot. Drag it around to cover an area.

sentientcarbon posted:Yeah, I started a game up before seeing this thread, and I'm up to Meduna, so I don't want to lose my saves by switching to a new version it will update your save-game for you. I was using 2285 or something that wasn't the newest version, and it updated.

Huszsersvn posted:If you're feeling particularly ballsy, you could try to steal into the northeastern sector of Alma in the dead of night, kill everyone without sounding the alarm, untrap and unlock the warehouse doors and then chopper out with bags full of rifles, attachments, grenades, fuel and armor. Why would you do this when you can set a bunch of TNT to blow the gently caress out of the walls and break in that way, guns blazing?

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:But, they're extra bits of downloadable content that we have to pay for... it's the very definition of DLC regardless of whether or not it's available as a pre-order bonus somewhere else. Various distributors give you special bonuses for having unique pre-order content, and since those bonuses are usually advertising assistance it's pretty helpful for indies. Selling them afterwards does not seem like as terrible a crime to me personally. But I'm on the dev-side and have had to make this kind of stuff so I am probably more sympathetic. But seriously, can anyone get me a screenshot of Miguel? I work with him in real life (as in, the guy they modeled the face after who used to work at Sirtech) and seeing him in JA2 amuses me and seeing a smooshy 3d version of him would be hilarious.

FirstPersonShitter posted:So I got JA2 to check it out and it is just really confusing me. All my dudes run around backwards and I have no idea how to move the view around. Or how to put the game into windowed mode. tap alt - if you alt-tab it'll stick the alt key down, which makes your dudes moonwalk at increased AP. You can move the view around with the arrow keys or by mousing around the corners of the screen. I don't think the game has a windowed mode?

Fonzarelli posted:I literally haven't changed him from the starting pistol. Ohhh man is it because i picked up some ammo off the ground and it like, took his gun out of his hand? The game is wicked obtuse and the UI takes a ton of learning. It gets really good, though I find it's easier to just play and learn and when your guys all die and you gently caress up, just start a new game. When you're in the small UI (shows the 6 portrait slots as opposed to the one and the whole inventory) you need to have a gun in the top of the two slots that show - if you're holding an object with the gun underneath, that means you have your gun ready but are holding the other object in your primary hand. You put grenades, binoculars, wirecutters, etc in that slot to be able to use them instead of shooting your gun. Throwing a grenade without doing that will make you throw it without it being a weapon. Also, this is related - moving things around in your inventory will frequently cost you AP during turn-based mode, so try not to move stuff around that is unnecessary during that time. Moving objects to your back slot (sling) and your hands will not cost AP.

I named my IMP Kickass the first time I played, and use the voice where he says "That could have been bad, but I have some Kickass Karma" whenever a shot lands near him, and ever since thats all I roll for IMPs, because it sounds incredibly lame.

6IMPs, All Mortars, All the time. No close combat weapons so keep you team spaced out enough that you can drop a close range mortar to hit people trying to melee your team.

My first time playing JA was with "drop everything" and I tried it without it and it isn't the same. I don't sell things in sectors before I leave unless I'm short on funds so I don't wind up completely breaking the economy, but its nice to be able to pick up NVGs without buying them all
