Hi.

I've been recently playing game JA2 1.13 and whilst I use the most recent build (8681) for a 'vanilla' 1.13 experience I was wondering if there was any weapon mods for the latest revision of the 1.13 mod and another question is if it's possible to play Wildfire (maps) in the latest build.

I've been playing Jagged Alliance 2 Gold - 1.13(8338)_beta+dbb_iov_929+its+arulco_revisited_v1.41_eng (Arulco Revisited) and have been having good fun with that with usually no problems but what I really would like to do is basically just like above but with wildfire maps, weapon mod (IoV is very good in this) and latest SCI-builds.

Is there a way to do this? As I can't figure out myself

It wasn't clear at first but I've done it and I must say that it works like a charm because it doesn't seem to be buggy and it's got a lot of WTF moments, which is great (enemy AI is great in TAC-screen also in game fights). Thanks for the hard work put into it, I imagine it must be great doing it.

However, I'm trying to get the maps from the SVN to work with the older versions of the game I believe is from another website (Name, is: 1.13(8338)_beta+dbb_iov_929+its_eng) because it's got the IoV mod, but I can't get it working it shows me old Wildfire maps not the newer ones with more detail, but the IoV weapon mod works fine.

I am wondering 2 things; could you please explain to me what I'm doing wrong (why won't Wildfire 'new' maps work with '8338' build?), and is there any (weapon) mod planned for 1.13? (that would be nice)

(and thanks for the reply earlier )

Okay, understood but in the meanwhile that's just what I did. I've tried to 'tinker' with 'it' and had some results.

I've tried and managed to, get Jagged Alliance 2 Gold - 1.13(8338)_beta+dbb_iov_929+its_eng working with Wildfire 6.07 maps. This is how I did.

I downloaded Ja2 1.13 IoV from https://jagged-alliance.pl/plik625/ and installed this into a directory.

I downloaded from your SVN Wildfire Maps, put the 6.07 version in the game directory. (Data-WildFire6.07 & UserProfile_JA2113WF607) I did not copy over file Ja2.ini, I left the original in because this doesn't matter, files are the same (copying I believe brings errors but the Ini Editor updates the file Ja2.ini by itself I noticed I think)

Now I started playing but got a few errors along the way, first being off that I noticed that the maps were old maps, but remembered your ReadMe, file from (JA2 1.13-Wildfire6.07 Maps ReadMe) and edited the *.xml files back to their old versions.

This has made the... everything work with new (6.07, I think) maps, but I've encountered new problems along the way.


A crash regarding something like ''getarmsdealerittemtype... 1962.adf 0'', but managed to I think fix this by adding the following row of lines at the end of vfs_config.JA2113Wildfire607.ini

[LOC_WF607_7z]
TYPE = LIBRARY
PATH = Mods/Data-WF607.7z
MOUNT_POINT =

Which I thought solved this problem, which happened on the tac. map, so I played on but.

Got to Ira and when recruiting her the game would crash.

So I fixed that by copying gameinit.lua from Jagged Alliance 2 Gold - 1.13(8338)_beta+dbb_iov_929+its_eng\Data-1.13 to Jagged Alliance 2 Gold - 1.13(8338)_beta+dbb_iov_929+its_eng\Data-WildFire6.07, replacing the original file and after which in game I could recruit Ira with no crash.

Now at the airport playing game with Drop_All and getting some weapons/money.

Will possibly play the game on and perhaps update here if this patchwork stays waterproof ea. in working order.
I've managed to achieve the results through research ea. reading a lot (of various posts) through the web and trying out myself. (a couple of times)

Uhm, thanks for clearing that up above though Surf.

Edit, the Airfield in Drassen is accord to 6.07 maps but as soon as I move down into the town the town, with the cafe is of old maps. Not working 100%, alas.

Edit #2, coming back some time later, I find out that on a previous install of the game (8338, same as above basically) the maps work everywhere seemingly but I don't know if this is due to way of install order or just 'luck' but one thing is that somehow it works, and I think by following the steps above there is some chance that it will work as desired.

Got two versions of the same but an older installation of it works, don't understand fully but as long as it works... I'm a happy camper. Maybe useful instructions for another one who wants to tweak around with.
