Reviving/Reheal a merc
You can revive or reheal a merc. Agent47 stupidly killed Vicki during my last run. Vicki was crouched behind a crate, Agent 47 was standing behind her, a foe in view. I assumed that he could shoot above her! But the idot shot her in the back killing her instantly :-).
The sector was cleared. So I wondered if we could alter the save. Answer yes we can.
Exit JAF. Look for the hidden folder (see Shanga Quick fix post for how to), under Win 7 :
C:\Users\...\AppData\LocalLow\Full Control\Jagged Alliance Flashback
You find interesting JSON files, especially Worlds.JSON. Load it in a text editor (not Word), I personally like Notepad++ very much, Notepad should do. Look for the merc name, for instance 'Victoria', use the firstname not the nickname :
"Victoria_Waters": {
"UnitId": "Victoria_Waters",
"SquadID": 2,
"Hp": 75,
"Items": [
"AK47",
"Kevlar_Vest",
"M16"
],
"Level": 1,
"IsAlive": true,
"Experience": {
"statsExperience": {
"Marksmanship": 10,
"Medicine": 0,
"Mechanical": 0,
"Explosives": 0,
"Stealth": 0,
"Melee": 0,
"Vision": 0
},
"statsLevel": {
"Marksmanship": 86,
"Medicine": 5,
"Mechanical": 72,
"Explosives": 14,
"Stealth": 24,
"Melee": 32,
"Vision": 20
},
"mercExperience": 10,
"mercLevel": 1
}
}
Set IsAlive to true, set Hp to the value you want up to 100 I guess. Save the file, restart JAF / Continue (game).
Voilà, Vicki's back fully healed. You can also alter other stats.
A useful trick until we get a full quicksave. Do it after you have cleared a sector if you have suffered too many casualties.
You can check each merc max HP in the units.json file folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Jagged Alliance Flashback\game_Data\StreamingAssets\Original\Data\Units
