This is great! I need an IMP version of this lol.

Mod works just fine with 1.3 patch just letting others know. love this mod.

Troch22,

I have over 2,200 hours in JA2 and a couple hundred in JA3 and I have to say Boot Camp is my favorite merc so far. You have done an amazing job with this character. This one has made me laugh more than all the other combined. Please keep up the good work, it is very appreciated.

best merc IMO =)

Yes @Furin I couldn't agree more. It was an oversight by me when I upgraded Boot Camp with voice. Yes, I love the climbing quotes.. I bet you a jelly doughnut we love the same quote!

Just saw you made him lower level and gave him dire warning, good change! Will make him more affordable in the long run. This merc really needs to be enjoyed right from the beginning and is wasted on militia training only. Whenever he does the climb quotes it cracks me up. Can't quote my favorites here for obvious reasons....

ok will tell u when i reach fleatown :D

For the books sounds. idk to be honest I don't have an older save with Hartman.

do i need start a new game or can i use current save file?

Super small update..

added inventory sound effects for picking up and dropping any custom books
(previously it was silent) Full details are in the patch notes.

Hi guys,

After some helpful feedback with Shuri-Sama and some re-evaluation. I have released an update for Boot Camp.

Some highlights..
Marksmanship 76->86 adjusted to bring in-line with other mercs in the same tier (elite average is 85 not including DrQ)
lowered starting level 5->3
This has multiple affects. You will be able to acquire more perks for him. And his salary increase per level is less. It will be similar to other merc in the same tier (elite)

NOTE : These changes will not take affect in a current save game

Many other changes... Full details are in the patch notes.

Have a good week. And a new merc will be released this Friday.

@ZravanRaven nah he doesn´t fall every 16 meters.

Is this Joe Biden>?

Hi @RoadDog,

Thank you. You can message me on discord. same name TROCH22

Awesome Work! Also i am planing something simular for my mod to give a voice from a movie but dont know, where to start. If you find the time to give me some idea and what program you used to record i would appreciate.

Why is this not the top rated mod of all of the workshop mods already? This needs some marketing!

Lets move this over to the bugs discussions..

his costum books only gives +1 stat instead +2 like in the description of them

WILDMAN v2.0 with 1,034 voice line is now available. You can get him here

@TROCH22 really? You forgot about it? I subscribed to Peter Koch´s yt channel so I never do (he played Swede Johansen in the movie, he´s older now but as big as then!).

Cool that Wildman project of yours. Looking forward for the release.

Hi @Zacarias Satrústegui,
Noted! I forgot about that movie, think I'll download it a for a viewing. My list of ideas for new projects is pretty big at the moment. Once I re-publish WILDMAN, production should speed up a bit. WILDMAN is the equivalent to 5 voiced mercs. He has over 1,000 voice-response lines.

@TROCH22, if you need some ideas for future projects, it came to my mind another famous sargent from a 80-90´s movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091187/characters/nm0000142

Think I read on discord she's working on it for a public release. It's just lower on the priority list. But I do agree that the repetitiveness gets annoying

Hey Troch, looks like Audaki is not going to release his voice response repetitiveness mod again, could you make something similar but for a general use? After 100h listening the same acknolegment starts to get annoying...

Hi guys, small update today..

Reduced voice-response repetitiveness
(similar to Audaki’s reduce voice response repetitiveness)
the following actions have been altered
unit selection and auto selection voice-response -49%
unit order voice-response -33%
unit group order voice-response -31%
unit aiming voice response -50% (was already at -40% prior to this update)

Enjoy your week

Great job ! Can't wait to see Pvt. Pyle

@Zacarias Satrústegui
Thank you. I sure he will get your troops into shape. Click on the doughnut. It's just there for giggles. Had an idea for it.. maybe in the future.

@Harry_Krishnaa
np, glad we got it sorted out

@Furin
Haha, Nice! Thank you. More mercs to come.

@Lion of Judah
screenshots and paint.net is all you need. I do have a custom ReShade that enhances the image quality. I might release that one day.

Played today, holy **** this is great, so well done, thank's!

Hi could you please give me an idea how you did the avatars? Which software you used? Thanks

Hey @Otherguy,

I love the work you did on all of your mercs. Each one is top shelf quality!!

Thank you for the kind words and checking out Hartman. I hope he serves you and the troops well.

Enjoy your week
-TROCH22

That's amazing! Gonna try him for sure.

Nice !!! Now he speak to me !
THX a lot ... one of the best mercs in Workshop!

Man, I can see good old Hartman in the browser but I´m still all broke because the Adonis/Army offensive. Nonetheless at least I could ¨phone¨ mr. Hartman and I could hear how glad he was when I reached him. I´been looking every time of the profile (what´s with the doughnut??) and it looks like briiliant. Congrats for the first voiced mod and for the hard work. Can´t wait to hire him and put the little militia maggots to work!

Hey @TROCH22

First of all: I have to congratulate you for the release of your first voiced merc! I know how much time is required to accomplish it on a certain quality level and I really appreciate the work and effort you have put into this project.

Combined with his custom perk, "Gunny" looks like a very solid package to me. I will definitely add him right into my roster. My militia is already looking forward to get motivated ;)

I hope you are going to enjoy the rest of your well deserved sunday.

Best regards from rainy germany.
Your Otherguy

Just released a small patch:
Boot Camp's voice (english) is now working with any selected language in the game.
Thanks to @Harry_Krishnaa for reporting the problem

Nice THX .. Iam realy excited. want to hear that awesome greetting (already read ;)

I put a ton of time in this update with as much detail as I could. I mixed a custom greeting that I can't wait for you to experience!!! Please let me know what ya think.

My goal was to provide a complete and quality merc mod. This project was a big learning experience for me. Especially on the audio side of things. Rendering and mixing source files, ect. Working with set lines is harder then it seems. Finding a proper category for it. And then plugging them into the game. Especially when I was working with 300 plus lines to choose from. If I made AI lines this would have been so much easier.

When I work on the next merc I'm going to find better source files if I don't use AI lines. It was hard to find a good source audio for Hartman. And even then I had to remove all the background noise and ambiance. I did the best I could and some lines might need to be touched up. But I'm very happy with the end results and I think you will be to.
