@arab dont forget to check the new 3.0 ;)

it's back

Attention: this is now a legacy version, 2.05 for those who do not want to start a new save game

It's back :)

woo

ok l just restarted but will again..again. One thing that made me assume you had broken out the wounding is l just did the first few sectors in Ernie and didnt get bleeding once myself or the enemy.

Thanks for choosing rato's mod :)

Sorry, it's just the description that is outdated. If you could, wait a few more hours so i can finish the weapon mods to start a new game. So the enemies will have it too. Thanks,man. I will also do the modularity when thesw bugs are finished for good

I'm going to restart, and can report anything l see tonight. However first it looks like the mod is now split. Are you planning to upload the wounding and explosives companion mods soonly? :)

Oh, cool. I will give it a try tomorrow.

Hey arab, I have devised a fix, could you test it for me, please?

@dagobert. intersting that it seems to affect the game even after i uninstall the mod.

@rato, i started a new save, the first night fight works just fine but the second one leads to "
blind enemy bugs"

and actually before this update, i notics the enemies not be able to spot me in the free move phase but the night fighting turn base phase works just fine

Hey guys, thanks for letting me know about these bugs. I will soon look into them.

I have the night fight Bu now too. First encountered in the Butler Mines Ghost Quest.
Immediately afterwards in Camp Savana.

Enemies don't take any action at night. After their "Fee Move Phase" they just stand around.
If you press "end round" the PC calculates 3-4 seconds and then it's the player's turn again.


If I then load and wait until daybreak, all enemies are fully active and behaving normally.

I have no clue whats the cause of this. But at one of your changes. Since I have a fresh savegame, it's pretty sure the last patch from you.

turned out it's the game that's bugged. i started a new save with your mod and it works just fine at night. i uninstalled all my mods and load back in an existing save, the night fight bug still exists

@arab that's really strange, let me know if you find it is caused by my mod

Dagoberto, I am thinking of a transition fix, will work on it when I get home

So I cheat my way up to jail (Good Place).
Then I'm through with GOD Mode.

All works.

Sniper Snipers properly and no freeze. They have the right ammo on them.

What you should conclude from this is that not all changes are savegame safe, insted require a new game.

they won't detect my squad at all at night and after i trigger the combat, they won't move as they are "blind".
tho, it might has something to do with other mods, im testing it now with a new save.

Do you mean at detecting your squad? Or shooting and missing?

im happy that the 5.45 and 762 54r are gone. the logistics are complicated already as they are.
tho, the new update seems to makes enemy blind at night time.

When I get home I will see if there is a way to make every npc unload

@dagobert wow, I'm sorry for this. I was hoping it wouldn't affect unspawned enemies. I hope this also doesn't break the range on enemies with snipers with the scope update

@lifeline
Thank you! It was based on all our discussions on the topic

Great update on the wounding system.

On the subject of "new calibers".
I ran into a bug now that they're gone.

"Good Place" the prison had snipers with Draganov.
They are now catastrophically broken in my "old" Savegame.
At the time of the update, I was not yet near the prison.
Nevertheless, all snipers are spawned with Dragonov and the "ERROR CODE" ammo.
As soon as they wanted to shoot me with their rifle, the game froze because the weapon was invalid.

I've now started a new game to see if the bug also affects new saves. I hope not.

At least now the AK-103, AKMSU, RPK and NDM-86 have the correct calibers

Yeah, @Ghost, i thought it was cool having them, but they were not adding anything gameplay wise and generated a lot of bugs :/

So pity we lose the new calibres... It seems the loot table need some fix for more 5.45 and 7.64x54R😟

*any mistake when uploading

Shaped charges have less damage and the cone is a little narrower. The modularity will probably come tomorrow or monday

I have removed the new ammo if I am not mistaken, remember to unload your weapons.

What was the shaped charge nerf btw? I already use a mod that makes the cone very narrow which feels sufficiently balanced already.

I like everything this mod has done so far. Every time its updated its reading my mind on what features l'd like to see.

But I can see why you would want to modularise it.

wrt the ammo, yeah its still got missing icons. Feels like its an unnecessary frivolity distracting from the real meat of the mod.

If you remove it, will it break guns that have it loaded?

As I'm sure you've already read from my last words, I wouldn't regret it if you took them out again.

The munitions logistic in this game makes it feel completely out of place. And even though it's realistic...

Just rename the PKM74 to PKM. This version also has 7.62WP in real life.

Personally, I can live with the wrong caliber for the Draganov and AK74. Because everything else totally ruins the flow of the game. But of course that's just my opinion.

You can craft them, too. But to be honest, I am considering removing them. I wanted to check with everyone, to see their opinions.
They were not even made by me, originally, so Im not very sure how to correct their bugs.

My opinion on the topic of new types of ammunition (5.45 and 7.62x54R).

1. They are bugt because the inventory pictures are missing.

2. It feels strange to me. I've found 3 PKM74 so far but don't have nearly no ammo to use them. But I swim in 7.62WP ammunition. And If I mod the PKM to 7.62WP, then it loses 40% durability with a 60 shot mag.
Exactly the same with the Draganov. Found one on LARRY at camp. First happy then disappointed. Because even a month later still 0 ammunition.

Maybe it would be good if there was one in the Legion every now and then with an AK74, so that you at least have the chance to get ammunition.

Or you make the ammunition feature optional...somehow.

Ahaha, upvoted for the flashbang description alone.

@rato: glad I could provide a useful idea while being pedantic

@rato
Stop and bandage. Especially when using increased enemy mods.

I agree with everything @Dagobert stated. Same goal is accomplished when I increased the enemy count. But when I add this mod in, the game play its a much slower. I like some of the overhauls here. But being this mod has spread out overhauling a bunch of areas. (still just my opinion) It now puts me in a choice, do I want to use this mod or the other several other mods that conflict with it.

We all love to mod our games as we see fit for ourselves. Imo, having these overhauls modular give the player more freedom to pick and chose his/her way to experience this great game.

I love the bleed mechanic.
For me that is the key selling point of your mod.
I just gave all my mercenaries a small medikit. problem solved

But since wounds are dangerous now, I have to play differently. Much more careful.
Just like "XCom Long War Mod" back then. I really love having to pull back to a better position from time to time.

In Vanilla I'm so "good" that I always storm forward, knowing full well that one or two wounds don't matter at all. This change your mod dramatically... PLEASE leave it that way!!!

Yes, this makes the fights longer. But that's what makes your mod so different from the vanilla experience.

@ghost, I don't know, there were some bugs,but maybe some time I look into it

Modularity will come soon

Hey troch22, thanks for the feedback. Do you think it's a slog in terms of always have to stop and bandage? Or the penalties are too much?

Another +1 for a modular split of the overhauls. For me. The bleed mechanic was fun at first. But now the game just feels like a slog.

Also, can we get the SKS rifle back from SunmakerXD's mod?😉

Good idea!

Yeah, a lot of the decisions that were made in the game were for game balance, not realism. Of course in real war, there is no concept of balance, in fact it is said that if you are in a fair fight, you screwed up.

I would at the least split bleeding and environment damage up. Make your frag cause the bleeding while the HE does the environment damage, that is actually a fairly standard concept in games of this type (the more effective Anti-Personnel grenade doesn't wreck the environment). This has the effect of making each suited for a different task, might still suggest shrinking the HE AoE as well as right now its a little too good at blowing stuff up.

Correction, the US military concussion grenade is the Mk3A2, not 32A.

Its actually possible, they have a obj damage modifier, in JA is fun to destroy whole walls and other cover. A big area grenade seems interesting with the risk of mishap, but I think it would be too op. Players are 6 and enemies are, well, many, so AOE tends to be too strong

Addenda - by 'more powerful' I mean 'more likely to f-up the enemy during battle'. Ukraine likes to use drones to drop frag grenades in Russian trenches.

Like most weapons, the different grenades have roles they are best used for, and are less effective outside those roles. The frag is a 'defensive grenade' in that it should (as noted) be used when behind sturdy cover so you don't get wounded by your own weapon. The HE is an 'offensive grenade' in that it is safer to use while advancing because it doesn't throw deadly fragments around, and has a smaller lethal radius.
