This may sound a bit complicated, but you don't need anything of that if you just want to play the game, and be warned that the game has literally thousands of options, and you can literally spend more hours browsing the INI files and tweaking than actually playing if you decide to dive into it. Or you can change option in lower folder (Data-1.13 has all options that base 1.13 has). So, if you want to change some INI option, you need first to check if it exists in Data-User and change it there, it will be used instead of the same option from other mod folders, and if it doesn't exist there you can add it in correct section which is defined by square brackets: The game uses feature which is called INI merging, that means, there is hierarchy of folders in the game and INI option from higher folder supersedes INI option from lower folder, so for example for default 1.13 maps it looks like this: Data->Data-1.3->Data-User->Profile.ĭata-User folder has common settings and modifications that are applied for all mods in modpack, for example it includes INI tweaks or weapon sound mod. If you plan to change INI setting in modpack, you need to know the INI structure of the game. SCREEN_RESOLUTION = 6You can also use supplied INI Editor (launch INI Editor.exe from the game folder) which does exactly the same thing but with graphical interface. Update: 7609 modpack now has Windows 8, 10 dll fix installed by default, so you don't need to install it, the game should work well in Windows 7, 8 or 10. Now if you have windows 7 or xp, you can play the game, just launch ja2+AI.exe and you will have working 1.13 version 7609+AI with original maps and default 1.13 items. Since modpack only needs the contents of Data folder (only SLF files, and possibly Tilecache folder), you can alternatively just copy contents of Data folder from vanilla game to the Data folder of modpack (without replacing files as modpack has updated versions) and you have a working modpack. Obviously modpack will not work without vanilla game files, so you need to copy it over vanilla game, replacing files if asked, just check that you have the folder structure matched, so Data goes to Data etc, not just put modpack inside vanilla game folder in a sub-folder, it will not work, it needs to replace and update the vanilla game files. Now you have a folder with clean ja2 and a separate folder with 7609 modpack. 001 file and select "unpack here" from context menu. Place these files into a new clean folder and then unpack using 7-zip, note that 7-zip will automatically find and unpack second file, so you only need to point it to. Currently trying to decide on a few different submods, but I'm thinking arulco revisited + Lev's progression sounds kind of cool.ħ609en+Modpack.7z.002the two files here because yandex limits uploaded files to 1gb size for free accounts. I generally prefer the 7609 AI modpack because its already got a bunch of the most popular mods integrated, but also because it doesnt seem to have most of the dumb shit they waste their time on with the main branch.īeyond this, I cannot speak much to individual mod setups! I tried AIMNAS briefly, which was very cool, but I don't really want to play an unfinished mod, and my mercs move at warp speed in combat for reasons unbeknownst to me, so i went back to 7609 + AI base. Good news is they are in both the main trunk, and even in the 7609 based AI+ modpack. If you're coming back in 2022, I suppose, like me, you're very interested in playing with the new models and animations. His work is still available and quite up to date, just a little harder to find now and is hosted on yandex instead of gdrive. There is also drama (but of course!) - the author of the very popular +AI 7609 branch left the community due to a spat with one of the bear pit admins for politicizing the forum over the ukraine war in typical reddit fashion. There is also a mod for strac that adds wildfire maps which adds an extra bit of challenge as the sectors are much denser and have more fortifications and traps.Īs for 1.13 related stuff, its as labyrinthian as ever and I was chuckling to myself in disbelief because despite attempts to make things less confusing for new players, it's actually ended up even more muddled and now information is stretched out across several forums, a discord channel, google docs and an unofficial repo for the latest builds. Stracciatella is still a rock solid choice for vanilla cleaned up. Hello frens, I have experimented with JA2 in the year of our lord 2022
