YOU GOT MY EAH

Nice job with the voices!
Now with Vinnie, I have my New Yorker team. Yo.

One of my "LearnToLike" mercs!

Thanks!

Images Updated. Original Face Image Quality changed, Updated and used.
Created Voice lines with the original voice from JA2 since she barely had any.
So the voice lines are 99,9% created by me (only 3 edited ones are from JA2)
Full voiced now! Hope you will enjoy. :)
Should these lines appear in other mods then you will know that they were definately taken from my mod.

OK thanks

Hi. Unfortunately not yet. Her in game voices are VERY limited and some of them even unusable so I'm trying to find a workaround for her. :)

Is it me or is Ira not voiced yet?

I mistyped, I meant "these changes shouldn't actually mess up a save". ^_^
Thanks a lot and sorry again that this is happening to you.

OK will try your suggestion again. Thanks

Ira, Monk, Stealla, Jabari, Lynx and Amanda I didn't touch after their release (except of adding a steam preview image). The others I mainly updated the images. Megan I changed the models face and hair as also Flo. The others I leftt the models the way they were.
Buzz I only gave her the psycho perk yesterday after a subscriber asked for it.
These changes should actually mess up a save though cause they are only based on the mod itself. :/ You subscribed a mod that does system changes of some short?
Anyway, if you have my mercs activated but didn't recruit them in your squads, just remove them.
The next time you will enter the game it will say that mods are missing but you will still be able to play and after a few saves it will see that you didn't use the missing mods and stop saying that something is missing. :) If you had recruit them however, it would be interesting to know if the stats that show up on the AIM page also changed on the merc or not. :)

I've noticed when the mercs bug out became dummy. His & her prices, stats would messed up randomly for sure, the only way to distinguish them is from the load out.

I'm wondering too. But somehow ira & monk work in existing save only. But the rest not.

Just rechecked the screenshots, the perks of my mods are still there but the stats and images seems to have been changed for whatever reason.
Since they are still working in a new game it definately has to do with compatibility to other mods you subscribed. I guess you subscribed to the other ones after you had mine in your game already and that's why they got overwritten somehow. Still doesn't make much sense to me since every mod has it's own folder in which the data is.

It's not a bug from my side. It's your save that is messed up.
If you also compare the cost and the stats of my mercs to the cost and the stats of the ones you declare of being mine, they don't match.
Which means mine doesn't appear in your save for whatever reason anymore while others you activated are shown as dummys. You can see for yourself (as example) by Amanda:
- she costs 4190 in your new game and has regular stats
- the bug one in your save game costs 7370 and has all stats on 100
This alone show that it can't be any of my mercs.
The same thing with all the others I suppose since in Megans (Sparky) case it's exactly the same.
I think that some of the mods you subscribed from others messed your save up and pushed previous mods out.
You seem also to be the only person out of 319 subscribers (in Iras case) that has this problem at all. Very sorry about it but there is nothing I can do.

"- deactivate my mods from your game and leave the game.
- Unsubscribe from my mods on steam.
- Enter the game.
- Leave the game again
- subscribe on my mods
- then enter the game
- activate the ones you had in your save game before under the mods menu (not new ones you subscribed after)"

I already tried all this even before i'm posting for help.

Yes i've using few others mercs pack from different author but all working good in existing save game. Hope you will investigate the bug and fix it, cheers )))

Apparently all the "dummy" was came from your mods i'm 100% sure. Let's see the screenshot below, as mods author you knew each mercs from your mods start with what perks and equipments.

It can be the case that they don't exist on steam and that's why the game can't find them and replaces them with dummys.Normaly it shouldn't mess up mine since they are all still here and I only updated them but you can do tthe following to see if it helps:
- deactivate my mods from your game and leave the game.
- Unsubscribe from my mods on steam.
- Enter the game.
- Leave the game again
- subscribe on my mods
- then enter the game
- activate the ones you had in your save game before under the mods menu (not new ones you subscribed after), then load your game and see if they work again.
I hope this helps. :)

Hi @Blackwater821 What I noticed on the marked merc in your savegame is that the dummy you selected has all stats at 100 which means it is not one of my mercs since none of mine has that.
I also see that at the save game are other mercs there too that wasn't created by me (Julia, Benji and so on) which means that probably some of the mercs you had activated and have in your save game, are deactivated in your new game.
It can also be the case that the author of this julia, benji and the other mercs you subscribed took them down from the workshop and due to that your savegame was messed up (it happen to my friend and me in our co op game with one merc that was posted at the workshop the first few days but got deleted from the workshop by his author a couple of days later).
Please go to the mod menu and see what is activated and what is not.
Then check if the mercs you had in your savegame are still on steam.

It make no sense if we need new games to add extra mercs..

Hi author, after some testing it seem like ONLY Ira Smythe & Victor Kolesnikov in your collection is save game compatible, the rest not. ( Dr. Margaret Trammel, Mary Beth Wilkens, Megan Roachburn, Amanda Schmidt, Jabari Abanda and Deedee Bombastic. )

In new game they all working as it should. Perhaps you should check if something mess up?

Another question: Did you subscribed to any other mods recently and activated them that might have caused the problem?

Hi Blackwater821. Very sorry to hear that. :(
This happen to me and a friend only at the beginning after the release when we subscribed to a merc, it's creator took down after a couple of days. Mine are all online and even I updated megan, mary and deedee in between, I never touched Stella (margaret) or Jabari anymore except of one time when I had added a steam preview image to them around a week ago. I think this goes for amanda too.
All my mods are still online and will only update them again after the mod tools are released if we should be able to add their original voices, otherwise I won't change them at all.

Did you try to create a new game just for testing to see if they appear correctly? I had one time that one of my save files got corrupted, so I was happy I had saved extra and had also autosaves aswell, otherwise the co op game from my friend and mine would had been lost.

Not sure where the bugs came from, i can use Ira Smythe & Victor Kolesnikov without problem only.

The rest A.I.M mercs all messed up as "DUMMY" and no bio, so far i've tested and resubscribe them one by one and restart games but no luck : Dr. Margaret Trammel, Mary Beth Wilkens, Megan Roachburn, Amanda Schmidt, Jabari Abanda and Deedee Bombastic.

@Right on Butch! I wrote this in her responses aswell! ^_^

YOU'VE GOT MY EAR

Thank you for this. Ira was a "good learner" so I suggest to push her wisdom to top levels, maybe tuning up agi and decrease dex a little should fit the legacy better. Other than, a good job indeed!

Very nice to see classic JA modded here. I made a collection of mods that bring back mercs and other things from previous games.

Please, let me know if you want me to take down your mods.

What is IMPortant to note is her scouting gameplay. So maybe she should buff surrounding snipers or have a special abilities going alongside Livewire's one for detection. Maybe less performant, though : Ira doesn't have a PDA, as I'm pretty sure she gave it to Hamous so the damn battlefield bystander finds his own way to Ganrd Chien (in an ice-cream truck, yes.)

Ira always was one of my militia trainers and with time got very good with it. Will see if she joins my current run later.

She was also a fast learned like Flo that one could easily make to great mercs during the game. :)

Who would've known Ira had so much love. What a great throwback! I think I liked her because she was a free merc, like Miguel.

Thanks a lot for the nice comments guys. :)
I'm working on new images and renders for all my released mercs to make them look even better and closer to their original pictures (even it is quite hard since the old pictures quality was VERY bad). If you enjoy my creations please give me one thumbs up.
Currently working on 3 more mercs while also testing the possibilities of the editor to see if I can improve things further before the mod tools reach us in mid august.
Also intend to release a few totally new male and female mercs down the line making them available outside of the AIM page as also some original full voiced imp based characters after the mod tools hit us..

With higher skills she would cost more. So you/we can train her again. Most official returnees fall back to their JA2-self.

She should have better marksmanship and skills. I trained her well in Arulco.

Keep up the good work. Of course another two gun kid, but it fits with the game. ;)
Thanks. For her and others.

she has the imp female 2 voice until then. :)
I created the face out of her original image but less mean looking

Great job!
I assume no voice yet, till the modding tools are released?

Wow, that's actually a decent picture of her... looks like her from the old games.
