Subject: UC-1.13 Public Beta Discussion 1 (2009/10/29 to 2010/10/16) Posted by Wil473 on Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:12:53 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message Sorry for taking up so many threads. The use of multiple in-line posts, and multiple threads for Mod release and feedback is something I picked up on one of the bigger Civilization Modding sites. This is the thread for comments, feedback, bug reports and general discussion on the Urban Chaos-1.13 Hybrid. Enjoy folks.

(Nice to see you too Scorp5001) EDIT : It's installed and working using VFS , player speed seems rather fast though ? Subject: Re: UC-1.13 Public Beta 1 Posted by Wil473 on Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:15:31 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message Thanks everyone, and it is good to hear from you too Scorpion. Sorry, I left 4 of the 5 ...Turn_Speed_Up_Factor settings in Ja2_options.ini on maximum speed. In testing I wanted to speed up the non player turn movements. I have it changed for the next release already, hopefully it will be an enhanced graphics pack instead of a major bug fix. Just need to sit back and see what needs to be adjusted.

Who couldn't understand this better than Scorpion? So it's probably the right moment (and surely no fortuity ) for writing official post No. 5001 and congratulating just now. I don't want to be an exception: My respect and congratulation Wil (also @ your co-helpers) for the public beta release of the Urban Chaos-1.13 Hybrid! I'm sure you'll give many JA2 fans worldwide many happy hours! Thank you and best regards; Schein Subject: Re: UC-1.13 Public Beta 1 Posted by Randok on Sat, 31 Oct 2009 18:29:56 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message First thanks for Hybrid. I have problem.

I done Quote:Extracting the Needed Files from the Original Urban Chaos Mod 1) create an easy to find folder named "UC Target" 2) copy the ja2.exe file from the 1.13 install into the "UC Target" folder. 3) launch the original Urban Chaos installer, and direct it to ja2.exe in the folder named "UC Target" and run. This will unpack all the original Urban Chaos files.

My life is now (almost) complete! Apart from changing the speed, do I need to change any other INI settings? Thanks Vermin Subject: Re: UC-1.13 Public Beta 1 Posted by Wil473 on Sun, 01 Nov 2009 15:03:18 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message I'm not yet aware of any other adjustments needed. You might want to bump up the effects of the HAM settings (I have them on less than half power). Or you might want to turn them off as I believe was default for SVN 1.13. The only one you shouldn't touch is the Crepitus one, leave it off.

The only thing I noticed is the missing "ja2_mp.ini" file inside the profiles folder of the mods. On startup it complains about the missing file.

Thanks and thanks again Subject: Re: UC-1.13 Public Beta 1 Posted by rattus on Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:12:12 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message Okay, bear in mind its a loooong time since I've played JA2/UC! Nothing significant so far! 1) UC start video doesn't play although Pay Intro video is set to TRUE. 2) E-mails are from Enrico instead of Dunlap (I think this might be a UC issue). 3) Laptop is tiny and hard to read (my eyes aren't good!) regardless of resolution. (I think this may be a JA2.exe issue). Regards Vermin Subject: Re: UC-1.13 Public Beta 1 Posted by Wil473 on Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:08:03 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message Looks like there were a few things I forgot to note in the FAQ, thanks Vermin. 1) For some reason the UC start video doesn't like 1.13, thankfully it doesn't end the game at that point. 2) That's something that needs to be externalized Progress is good on the next version: - implemented the shotgun choke/spread pattern stuff from the SVN 1.13 - Two shot guns that use detachable magazines, Saiga and the SPAS-15, now have 6 round capacity and new magazine graphics (based on the slighly curved KAC PDW mags). Six round capacity was selected as a compromise. - Changed the shotgun reloads so that the cost is approx 7AP/shell loaded (except for the box magazine loaded ones) - Got around to producing LAM + optics sighting complex Big Image graphics - Multilated (MS Paint and Corel Photo-paint) the three AUG A2's into the barrel and component kits needed to convert between all three versions. Now you can tell at a glance what each conversion kit does. - I've added some new magazine graphics: -- Kaerar's 9mm doublestack mags as .45ACP doublestack mags (added a pair of chubby pistol Page 4 of 203 ---- Generated from The Bears Pit bullets to the corner, left colour as is) -- Kaerar's 9mm doublestack mags have been darkened (20% gamma in Corel Photo-paint, and added a pair of pistol bullets to the corner) -- Edited versions of the original Urban Chaos 7round .45ACP pistol mags have been added for all in-game .45ACP ammo types -- Heavily darkened (shiny black) versions of the original Urban Chaos 7round .45ACP have been added to reperesent 9x19mm 8round pistol magazines -- finally got around to fixing the FRAG-12 Big Image graphics (I cut/paste/streached the 40mm Smoke grenade into a shotgun shell shape) -- The above mentioned 6round 12guage magazines So far it all seems savegame compatible (even with the addition of some magazines). Subject: Re: UC-1.13 Public Beta 1 Posted by dbonar on Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:49:07 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message Not working at my end. The Data-UC folder has a zip file that 7-zip says needs a password. WinRar doesn't ask for a password but it can't open the file either. I've copied this folder (with its seemingly compressed file) over to the working root of JA2. The game starts fine but crashes on going to the tactical map saying it is missing a tileset. Subject: Re: UC-1.13 Public Beta 1 Posted by Wil473 on Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:11:37 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message Why is the 7-zip program involved with "Data-UC" folder? 7-zip is only needed to decompress the Hybrid's folder "Data-UC113" where nothing should be password protected. "Data-UC" is the data folder that contains the original Urban Chaos "Data" folder's files, and should have been extraced by using the original Urban Chaos installer.
