and better sooner than later..

Shanga's 9x39mm Spetsnaz subsonic ammo mod

Added a new 9x39 subsonic ammo type for VSS and AS Val Spetsnaz rifles. Includes a quick Default IMP equipped with a VSS for instant testing. Compatibile with JAF 1.1.0 rc2. Known Issues: This new ammo type needs to be added to the loot table and shop inventories, which will be the object of another mod. So far enjoy this as a small test (not recommended for a full playthrough). Includes Shanga's Better Description mod.

@FC, Thanks for the new patch! :)

@Shanga, Do you know if it's possible to play with your mod subscribed on Linux?

After subscribing it, I start the game, get into the Modding menu and it says it's trying to donwload the files and stay there forever.

I checked the Player.log and there is a looping message like this:

@edmondo - no idea mate about Linux, I have a feeling the new patch isn't ready for Linux distro yet, it's just too "fresh". The mod is compatible with 1.1.0 rc2 for Windows, no clue for other versions.

Didnt you forget to mention that you added the russian L10N (localisation)?

And why is the polish localisation a sub category of the lighthouse addition? :)

Some point that i camped for to mention. You guys have the very bad habit not to post the changelogs in the News section of Steam. Its no extra work, just copy and paste. So no reason not to do it.

I know that in steam we see mostly the haters but that is even one reason more to show proud what you do.

In advertisement its only to a small part about what you do the much bigger part is about that people know what you do.

So even if its a mini update with one bugfix: Post everything!

The 1.1.0 rc2 patch it's working fine on Linux and the game doing well. I'm happy with it.

I have the issue when I try to load your "Better Descriptions Mod" (I didn't try other mods, because I was too lazy to do it... ;-) ).

From the error "Encoding name 'IBM437' not supported" it seems to be something with the unity engine and the mono library. I'll search a bit more around and make some experiments and if I have something useful send it to the FC support.

Totally agree with Django here. I always say: "post it on the main page"... For god´s sake, it´s not that hard, is it? You have an update...its official...so do it !!

The Russian localizaton isnt fully complete. An update will come out next week with the missing content (for the new quests etc).

But yeah - Andreas forgot to post it as news..... NO COOKIES!!!

Again, FC made my day. I was playing and finally got into OSIM (yeeeeaaaah!), logged out and steam started updating JA:F. I wouldn't have expected the patch to be public so fast THANK YOU!

I agree with Django, show the people you still work hard. Especially with this update - the opening of the modding section is a huge thing I think. The modding button in the main menu was"greyed out" until yesterday and I think a lot of the modders just sat tight and relaxed until this is now working.

@Shanga: THANK YOU for the description mod - that's the first thing that came to my mind after reading about the soviet weopons - oh no, there won't be "user descriptions" for that for a couple of days oh no oh no :-)
I will test that after work - let me guess: I activate "modding packs" in the main menu and they are updated automaticly when they're changed? I can "turn on and off mods"? Please bring your JA2-like camera fix as a mod, too. It's the first thing I change after every patch. Not complaining here!!

I think we come close to the day where we write letters to all the gaming magazines to test the patched JA:F again and raise their rating for the game...I'll write a positive review for steam this weekend I think when I'm moody.

Weekend here I come! Oh wait...10 hours to go ... aaaah ...  :-)

@Lord - you need to "subscribe" to my mods on Steam Workshop (inside Steam client, JAF section):

Then you will see my mods under modding section ingame. And yes, you can turn them on/off as you wish.

PS: Good idea about the camera mod, forgot about it.

Made the camera into a Steam Workshop mod, enjoy:

UPDATE: I fixed the annoying camera rotation on zoom-in bug. 

Ammo dupe bug (as reported on Steam):

- i can confirmed the following ammo dupe bug: placing a weapon on ground or inside a container and reloading the map by splitting the squad and entering the map with 2nd squad generates a fully loaded weapon inside the container.

- F9 Bear's Pit - NPC Pedro has empty dialog box.

- Spigadores - when recruiting Chevalier, right after clicking "Let's go", the quest box freezes and bugs the entire game. (FATAL) 

Ignore this, seems like my mod was using some obsolete dialogue files which caused the crashes. I've updated the mod and all was fine.

Crash in F6 when coming back to Lecter to deliver the feed the bear quest. Forever loading loop:

Version of the game now is 1.1.1. Will there be any information about it?

Uhoh - I have quite a few problems with fighing since updating. It seems like my mercs don't recognize when all enemies are killed - they behave like in tactical mode.

I can't switch my mercs by clicking on their portraits quite often - I have to open and close the inventory, then it works again.

Now my merc is stuck in intercept-mode and can't loot ("Inventory not allowed when interception is activated") and I can't go back to the strategic map, too (nothing happens when clicking the button). Well I'm trapped now and rethink starting a new game - again :-(

Edit: I started a new game and it behaves normal. Please let me finish the campaign this time  ;-)

Same bug as Lord. 

Sector: Krasnodar - very laggy, almost froze (you can "unfreeze" mercs by selecting different weapon slots for some reason). 

Now I am stuck in Player Turn, can't select entire squad, yet there's no turn-based more on.

UPDATE: Moving out of the sector in Strategic View and back in (and thus reloading the map) made the bug dissapear).

I suddenly cant reload Rifles in 5.56 anymore (M16 and Sig)

@shanga

Thanks for the great mods. They really made it into 1.1 quickly. It proves you´re really into JAF. I like all of them so far, except the "Shanga's 9x39mm Spetsnaz subsonic ammo mod"... was sceptical about that one, because another ammo type also means less chance to find it.

Will give all the other mods a good review on steam soon.

9x39 was more a personal favour to Smeagol (AIMNAS guy) who was shocked VSS and AS VAL use standard 9mm instead of subsonic. Also it's more of a tech demo for future (serious) ammo mods. Or as you'd say "proof of concept".

A real mod would start by altering loot tables and adding the new ammo to shops.

Speaking of VSS... the sound of that thing makes me cringe, because the accuracy of that weapon is scary. I use an AS VAL and it's already OP, I can't imagine yet how good the VSS is. Sadly the enemy who was equipped with it didn't drop it after he became top priority target and ate 4 bullets to die.

The Problem was caused by editing weapons.json
 The funny thing ist that i didnt edit the M16 or the ammo

@shanga

yeah, thought it was like that in a way.

@andr

hmmm, maybe people who did manipulate the game should report bugs somewhere else^^ (--> edit)

It´s not just you, i´ve seen this plenty of times by now.

Imo If we change the code/data/json. files in any way and then say: hey something doesn´t work, we create confusion for the devs for no reason.

edit: i´ll open that one^^ See the"V 1.1.0/1.1.1 bugs and feedback....(+) I have modded the game" threat.

Bad asset blocking. You can shoot through those barrels, despite the fact that they indicate fullc over.
