@key Your mercs are fabulous. "Creative Accounting" however seems to take few days to show up and the results seemed underwhelming. Vinny and Flo made some 300 bucks per shift and needed a lot of pills. It looked like the ability costs more resources, than it producedś.

Thanks for the reports, I'll try to find out if there's an issue with the perk.

@Ric - just ran into this issue myself. Recruited Vinny, got him to Mfumu's mine but there was no option under operations for 'Creative Accounting'. Got into a fight soon after and Vinny died, but the operation showed up after the fight. Maybe it shows up after a while or after an event on the said sector? Go figure :D

Your Mercs are simply awesome! Thank you so much! Unfortunately, while Echo's special operation works, Vinny's refuses to show up for me. At least at the first mine (H7). Am I the only one or is this due to 1.5?

Ah, Vinnie! Awesome, thanks for adding him.

@Lucjan: it's voiced (based on JA1 of course), actually there is info about this in the description, see:
"Contains:
- New Merc: Vincenzo Massimo (voiced)"

Is this voiced? @Key your description are missing this information ;)

Major update:

- No more perk icon duplication on mod reloads
- Improved the Creative Accounting operation to ensure Vinny participates
- Moved the needed pics/icons to the UI folder to eliminate some warnings
- Also there is an old_UI folder inside the UI folder with the old portrait/body pic for those who preferred that one

update:
- added new icon for Creative Accounting, courtesy of Witzzard

No issue, hope you've recovered. And yes, it's possible evermine might interfere, although I've not used it

sorry i couldnt reply earlier since i was in hospital. I am using the evermine mod too so maybe thats why the operation isnt showing up

Just added a screenshot here in the mod pics to show how/what operation you should see in a mine sector with Vinny

@hakansherif Just checked, and it's working for me. Can you describe the scenario where you experience it's not working? Are you in a sector with a mine? Is Vinny there?

Ok, no prob, I will check

i dont know if it was working before since i subscribed to your mod after the patch, i just assumed it was working before:P

@Morianthi Sent you a friend request, hopefully we could exchange link in private messages afterwards?

@hakansherif Hmmm, interesting. I though it was still working, need to check. So it was working previously and now it's broken?

Looks like the perk is broken after the last patch

I think my messages are getting blocked. Any idea how I can send you the dropbox link?

Oh. The link's getting removed. Add this after www dot dropbox dot com: /scl/fo/vxd7ynr5jx823bpr2sses/h?rlkey=eh9lcfufamg90cyptvv7iasz1&dl=0

Let me know if the link works.

Don't expect too much. There's only so much that can be done with what we have. Here's the dropbox link: {LINK REMOVED}https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/vxd7ynr5jx823bpr2sses/h?rlkey=eh9lcfufamg90cyptvv7iasz1&dl=0

Sounds great! Yes, please share and I will post an update (with kudos to you of course). I am also really curious, because if the quality is improved with this, then it opens up the possibility for other mechs from Ja1

Done. I think I've improved the overall quality of the voice files, except for the few 1-word voice files starting with ATT-Yo that may need to be redone from scratch.

@key I'm in the process of removing the background noise and improving the volume quality of his voice files. They're still in a different file format as of now. But once I get everything done, I could share them with you if you want.

Voice is edited Ja1.

@Morianthi Happy you like it!

I love this new (old) merc and his creative perk! Great addition to the team.

You write that he's voiced. Which voice are you using?

@BlackWater821 : You are welcome!
@Morianthi : He is.
The perk adds an operation to mine sectors if Vinny is there. It 'finds" some random pockets of money in the ledger.
Yes, it should be safe to mix - if there are issues, please tell me.

Good stuff, thanks mate )))

He's the JA1 guy you mentioned? Looks interesting. I could see him as my new local mobster to replace Boss Blaubert. I'll station him there using the movable militia mod. :D

And what does the new perk do?

Btw, it is safe to mix your mods uploaded in Nexus with the ones in Steam, right? I'm asking since some of them interact with each other. Thanks.

I've been thinking about Reuban (there's already some excellent graphs done here :https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3011941183&searchtext=reuban) However the voice recording quality from JA1 is at times very glaringly worse that Ja3 standards, so there's that. The other thing is, it is very labour intensive bringing back a merc from Ja1, much more so than a Ja2 merc even. But let's see what the future brings :)

perfect.. missing so many of the crooked veterans ^^ any chance of adding Bruce "Skitz" Bonner and "Unusually Ruthless" Reuban? Would fit well with your Razor into a psycho squad ;)
