@Tobias, what is the source code written in? I may be willing to resurrect this as a side project, although I've never modded this game.

@ Tobias JFYI I might just give it a shot, updating your mod for the community's sake, and it will give me some practice using the mod editor.

I solved my problem by learning a little lua modding.

I disabled this mod but the entry is still showing in menu.
See: "
1. Start a game.
2. Open the COMMAND menu (bottom-left in Satellite- and Sector views).
3. Click on the Mod Menu (CS) entry." How I can disable this point from menu?

sitll work for me

if you start a game and get this " mod loaded with errors "
just go to Options >> Mod Options
turn on > off > on anything in custom setting mod
Apply it
Work for me like magic

Still work!

Please resurrect THIS(strictly) mod!!
This is the best mod for JA3 players. Which improves the quality of the game with simple actions. Whoever is trying to make a similar mod now, they are not very good at it!
Thanks

This is what people want make this work!

It does not work again.

In my game the mod works again. I do not even need to reactivate it again and again. No problems.

@Matt: Why not upload it to the Workshop?

Go to my mod "Modern Military/Spy/Crime Movies Team Part 2"

on top of the description you find a link with a 1.5.1 working Custom Settings as a temporary Fix.

Still no signs of life, could the Mod who working on this please give us an update.

When this mod quit working I quit playing. I hope they get it updated soon. I like to customize my games from the beggining.

"this mod still works right? before loading a game just click on any custom setting, activate then deactivate it and click apply. and then the rest like more militia, bigger inventory still works."

Yeah this was what I've been doing all the time.

But I'm too happy to hear that modder is still working on it.

Glad to here this mod is not fully abandoned.

Hello all, any alternative to this mod or to possibilty to drop weapons or ammo with 1.5? I want to play from start again, but not without these possibilites. Thx

A modder is still working on the NEW WORKING 1.5 version. Just have a little bit more patience

that's good news, looking forward to having it

I already predicted this back in 1.3 that Game Devs drastically changing the APIs and killing mods! I stopped playing after 1.4.

I am feeling a little orphanned by the death of this mod. But yeah... I get it. It was too perfect, too many great options for any new gameplay. I imagine how hard it must be to keep it up to date. Hope someone can make a new version soon. I would gladly offer help if I was any good at it...

A modder is still working on the NEW WORKING 1.5 version. Just have a little bit more patience

damn then, a great mod that will be greatly missed

this was THE mod of the game, any news on a new working version?

That sucks, all the features of this mod were stuff I wanted for my playthrough.

this mod still works right? before loading a game just click on any custom setting, activate then deactivate it and click apply. and then the rest like more militia, bigger inventory still works.

TEMPORARY FIX not working ((((((
max militia is still 8.
drop chances are definitely not 100%

ehhhh.
waiting for a new modder.
but IMHO this settings just must to be in original game settings.

Hey THIS is great news!! Could we get the Modder's name so that we can look out for it?

Guys there is a DIFFERENT modder who is currently working on this mod, and he will release the new version, working perfectly with 1.5 . Just give it a little time, I am sure the new updated mod will be released soon.

In the meantime - here is the TEMPORARY FIX:

There is a temporary fix version created by Toni on the discord you can obtain here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TRHEWoU-1N4Y24LXuF6pUjw9qgCJLJYK/view

You must unsub from the workshop version, and manually install this in \Appdata\Roaming\Jagged Alliance 3\Mods

Greetings Tobias. Could you please just point me where are the officials files in Packs, to change the number of militia you can train and the number of Mercs you can have in one squad.
Thanks in advance Tobias :-)

The only things I liked to change were the numbers of Mercs you can have in one squad, and the numbers of militia you may train.
Fucking 1.5 patch

@Matt_x_DELTA-Sniper Falls Sie den Post vom Modder gelesen haben, wird es KEIN Update seinerseits geben. No more updates from the modder.

Guys, there is a modder who is already working on the updated version, fully functional for JA3 1.5 !! Just give it a litte time, I am sure it will be released very soon

stringbound is right mod still working even with 1.5 and some blabla file not loaded error to get rid of by pressing ok, also have to do the "apply trick" by changing some value in the mod options and clicking apply. And yes, need some separate mods for certain functions. I'm still not satisfied with 1.5, still hoping in a fork of this mod

Alas, this mod does still work.You might need some separate mods, to get certain functions, but basically, the mod is still functioning..

The main reason I used this mod was to change the starting money setting so I could get my preferred team from the start. Is there any other mod that does this and actually works? The "Million" mod appears to be broken, judging from the comments. I want the money to be available when I first use A.I.M. (before deploying), and I don't want to use a cheat.

is there any alternative for this mod? it had everything what we need

Echo, you might try this one, https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3110286852
or the full package from the same author. Works slightly different, you'll get random extra amount of enemies, depending from settings it will be something like x1-x2, x2-x3 or so... No exact numbers are given, up until you count corpses afterwards that is.
I like authors scripting approach, so far no option had to be set exclusively prior new run. you don't like values, change them anytime, and on next battle you will see changes working.

Really sad to hear this mod was abandoned. It was my favourite mod and probably the only one I really needed for the game.
Is there any other mod that increases the enemy squad size?

The mod still works for me but it has to be turned off/on every time you load the game. It's not on by default.

Sucks that it's been abandoned. It's the best QoL mod out there.

Unfixed version seems to be partially working. Like fixed one :) With unfixed, enemy squad size works fine with me. So far, only issue that is not game breaking mind you, that inventory sorting works... sometimes, and sometimes not. If there is a pattern I don't see it yet. Settings that don't reliably save for me, are inventory options. Mod seem to give you the least problems If you deactivate all mods, restart game in clean/modless state, than activate your modlist again, restart game, again, and start your new run. That's about all about those options that need to kick in with new game, otherwise you won't be able to use them. Drop rates and enemy squad sizes are like this. Either works from the start or don't work at all. Until finding alternative, this will do, because it have to.

ANYBODY else has this issue?? Enemy Squad Size mulitplier does NOT work with the fix from eharper256 ??

I'm sad to see this has been abandoned, it's a great mod that has been working well for me - thanks for all your work on it!

I'm curious to know what settings will be incorporated into the 1.5 update? Is there a chance for a simplified version to be updated for 1.5, just the QoL features that can work with the new update?

Enemy Squad Size does not work with the fix from eharper256.
ANYBODY else has this issue? enemy squads are small like default. enemy squad size multiplier just doesnt work in my game.

Does the author not post the corrected version of the mod because he is offended by someone or simply cannot make corrections?

The temporary fix does not fix my issues. Turning on/off - apply, then turning on/off - apply one of the options before loading a game doesn't work either. Yes, I both unsubscribed and deleted the file from my app data/roaming/jagged alliance 3/mods folder, then put the file suggested by @timmythebat into the folder. I still have the same errors.

(The error is graphical/interface related, it seems. When on tactical map, some merc's pictures are missing, and those say +3 with a target icon, show they've leveled up, have no action points, and non of their perks show in the boxes along the bottom of the screen.)

I did use the in-game merc editor to mess with stats/perks of my squad, but this error predates my using that mod. In the past when I got the error, I could shut down game, relaunch doing the turn off/apply and turn on/apply to a setting in the mod settings and load a previous save to get around it. That no longer works.

What's the Condition And Repair setting for? The condition of item you found?

Could You add the Game option to have show merc badge to always/combat/never ?

@makan247

I've never seen my crits at 100%, sounds kinda nice, for a while at least.
I have not used the enemy force multiplier.
It might have to do with the variable in the file AdvancedSettings.lua called Combat.AimCritBonus

@timmythebat

Thanks, I am using the temp fix I downloaded from GDrive. I never used the original version to begin with so I never actually subscribed to this version. The bug I am experiencing is with the temp fix.
