Talk to Fidel and he gives the quote in my signature

Thanks, anv

Thanks as well, that clears some things up . I also noticed that dialogue's likes/dislikes NPC are triggered in npc dialogue scripts. Gives me a few ideas.

Uploaded another soundset - Smoke, for battlesounds used most already done ones by steggieav (from this thread):

Bob's edit


Bonus - Tex


Changes:
- added voicesets for It, Bernie and Ears
- added battle sounds for Elroy (previously overlooked somehow)
- added some hate talk to Spike, Boss, Leech, Rusty and Sidney
- fixed wrong ammo in Weasel's equipment
- added some cheap knives to Mouse's and Elroy's kits, so they can make use of their new traits right away
- unlocked extra banter dialogue for some mercs (quote 45)
- added new gargantuan MercOpinions.xml, containing 255 opinion records per merc. Most new ones are 0 by default, I changed those for buddies and foes to 25/-25.

Holy cow, they look awesome! Superb work!

Wow! Very nice job, Bob really needed that change!

Files added to GameDir r1661. Good work. Keep this up, and we have to think of a way to expand the number of profiles sooner than later :-)

awesome portraits
Bernie seems to look a little bit younger than in DG. What about making his hair a little bit more white color to make him a few years older. what do you think?

ps: anv: any chance to see pops next

How about just raising his health, his agility, & strength a bit (talking about small changes here) and mention in his bio that he has been doing some fitness to get into shape again for some fresh young girlfriend?

Job well done (once again) anv!

If you don't mind, could you tell me what program you use to extract the JA and JADG sound files? Are you using the program that was mentioned earlier in this thread (didn't try it because someone said it added glitches and sound defects to the files...)?

@Thor : You might have meant it as a joke only, but I think your idea about Bernie is good! Actually I think all the mercs stats should be a little different than in DG somehow, and this should be reflected in their bio (also their choice of traits).

?

@RoWa21: Sure, it's not that much to choose from anyway.

@Thor: DG mercs have bios about half as long as average JA2 mercs, and lack additional infos, so there's room for improvement.

@Charlie_May: Yes. I didn't notice any glitches except occasional patter at the beginning and the end of some battle sounds, but those are easily removable and battle sounds have horrible quality (11kHz? Come on!) anyway.

I like the pic, but I also like the idea of improvement of stats & bios Anyway, great job you did again, anv! Above all, thanks!

@anv: I like the white hair bernie, seems to fit much better. good job.

Still looks like Bernie's been nipping some rejuvenation juice to me. Hand him some whiskey and 20 years of smoking. Or just make him look 10 years older. Bit more droopy and wrinkled.

@ Slax: Haha, looks awesome to me, think it's your imagination, Slax!

Someone just give this man a job at Full Control for JA: Flashback portraits, already!

5 years of smoking/10 years/20 years

Well children, I think we all learned a valuable lesson here.

I like the 20 years smoker bernie best

Thanks, just uploaded the "Bernie" (the smoker) to the 1.13 SVN GameDir.

It's complete then, all mercs from anv now have soundsets: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?6zdp1matsnaj4jl

Some fixes should be made in MercProfiles.xml btw:
- Hector has bad MouthY coordinate (should be two numbers higher)
- Stella has Fox as a hated merc (should be Hurl)
- shouldn't Reaper have Shadow as a buddy merc?

And of course thanks a lot for more new mercs anv!

BTW if we're talking about improving the bios, there are some AIM alumni texts that might be somehow changed to reflect the current situation. One that is most obvious for me is Larry's where it mentions Leon being dead while he's now at MERC .

Fixed. Reaper has Blood as "learn to like" too (oddly, he lacks quotes 51 and 53). Also enabled last merc05's voice set, changed some GenderQuotes and made the laziest possible attempt at fixing Larry's alumni page.

@merc05: Great another set! If you plan on continuing producing them, I already scrambled foundation for Pops, Wally and Eli's sound sets, so I'll probably release them with their portraits. That leaves Raffi, Lance, Wink, Carp, and Mitch, with the last ones being probable AIM material (Mitch is overall good merc with fantastic wisdom and medical, and Carp has almost reasonable stats and AIM desk assignment in his bio), and the rest being MERC cannon fodder.

Gents, i downloaded the Bernie+It Merc pack and placed it in the 1.13 data directory. But when i access MERC It and Bernie's Bio is there,all the stats are zero, their names do not appear and they are un-hire-able. What did i do wrong?

Maybe forgot to start a new campaign?

Yes!! Thank you!!

@anv & merc05: thanks for your work. I am currently uploading the Hector soundset and the fix.

EDIT: Upload done.

Great! So there are more mercs coming. If you feel like not bothering with doing a sound set I'll sure help .

Thank you very much, great mod!! Really missed some of those whacky guys from JA1

Fantastic, anv!

Hi all,

I have been playing this game non stop for almost a year now and just want to thank all of you guys for the great work!!

Now on the topic,

Can someone please tell me where can I find Manuel, the RPC? I'm closing in on Meduna and haven't seen I'm yet...

Someone mencioned Chitzena but I never saw him...

Thanks

Edit: I'm using WF maps on 1.13 if that makes any diference.

hi, i think here is chance for add a equivalent for or raven from warsav pact region,something like former nember from omon or spetnats units[marskaman/gunslinger or field medic/akimbo weapons]wp equivalent for raven & fox quivalent from asia region be fresh wind in the air ...

You know they are looting those mercs from JA1/DG, not conjuring them out of thin air, right?

Kerist , a post from wolfie not involving a demand for obscure guns ?

In case you missed it, anv.

Pops


Wally


Eli


Jimmy's edit


Changes:
-added voicesets for Pops, Wally and Eli

another awesome work, thanks anv!

I will commit them later to svn gamedir.

Really nice profile pics again, anv!

@all: I just uploaded the new mercs.

Nice! Must say that Pops is hardly good for a fleshwound, though

What's his age?... old f*ck! He's really tricky... As a merc on his own he can't manage and as a deputy in the team he is a huge risk with his thirty-or-what-is-it health... But his Marks and remarks are nice!

Lol Pops with camouflage ^^

Sorry to bother you all again.

Could someone help me find Manuel?

By the way I'm using WF maps on 1.13 if that matters...

Thanks

He should be in but I guess he isn't placed there in WF maps. So you probably have to edit him in yourself. But I'm pretty much guessing here since I have never played WF maps outside of AIMNAS.

Is it easy to edit is location? I have never tried doing something like that...

So far I have only been enjoying the great work of everyone here...thank you all for that.

Is there some kind of tutorial or quick reference that I could read and try to edit his position?

Thanks

To my knowledge you need to edit a file called MercProfiles.xml. The correct one is usually in the Data-1.13\TableData folder, if you aren't running any mods. Manuel should have a profile listed there and there you should find sector coordinates for him listed as well. Change them if you wish. X-coordinate 1 means sector A, 2 is B etc. and Y-coordinate should be the sector number.

And somebody correct me if I'm wrong but you ALSO need to edit the sector you used in that XML file in map editor. There should be a tab for civilians and then you can choose Manuel's id number (should be 229) to place him in the map.

Edit. Of course the other way around. X is the number and Y the letter..

@GFox

Thanks for the reply.

I'm using the stable 1.13 4870 with WF maps and the mercs from this thread.

Will try to do it later... Wish me luck lol

Worked like a charm!!

Thank you GFox
