@ Lord Racoon
I can't even get it to let me add past six.

If will automatically add a 7th or 8th if I set Squad size to 8, but I can't add or remove them manually from Squad Management

I wonder, after the number of max people in squad is buffed, how to add new person to the squad? In the merging window there are only 8 slots, so there are just no space to add a card of the 9th merc

@Dragio Master I strongly suggest you read the mod description of ANY MOD before sub, explore the MOD OPTIONS of the mods you sub also helps to understand what the mod does
Sir Ni  [author] 16 Mar @ 7:08am 
@everyone the drop all is not bugged, read the description of the mod, I won't make it drop everything at all times cuz I hate cheating, I get that it is more immersive to have the loot dropped from the enemies instead of just a few bullets, but having all loot dropped from enemies that are not even in combat is just bullshit, I think the way it is now works well and I ain't gonna change it. As for the fists and weird stuff, IT IS LOOT, that's how it is designed by the creators of the game if you don't like it you can mod yourself or try another mod I have related to weapons, GG =)

The Drop All option also causes stuff to drop that shouldn't be dropped, like the unarmed weapons and armor of the Infected (Pantagruel Slums, Backroom of Manny's Bar) or the equipment of Van Graff.
Dragio Master 26 Jan @ 8:16pm 
Is there a way to somehow change settings for this mod ? Like turn off more enemies or turn off perks ?
Xeryx 17 Jan @ 7:49am 
@silvem, yes drops do work. Sometimes they take a bit to work.
Xeryx 11 Jan @ 7:44pm 
I also found that the Squad bag has issues as stated below. I was able to used the extended squad bag instead. So it might be best to drop it. Also the JA2 Perks is not working either. I think losing the Shush mod would be beneficial and I use the Version I can pick the amount of responses. I have more testing to do but most of the other stuff seems to work.
Xeryx 11 Jan @ 7:02pm 
In debug mode, I have received a couple of errors, one is a stack and the other seems to be a parsing error can you check them out please, and update this mod.
SilverM 24 Dec, 2024 @ 8:23pm 
"drop All" not working in 1.5.1
Findroid 27 Nov, 2024 @ 9:44am 
Yep. Mod breaks Revised Tactical Gear II...
Titanstahl 17 Nov, 2024 @ 9:36am 
Breaks Revised Tactical Gear II mod, please update, need Drop Everything feature

I wanted to confirm @Pug's bug that JA2 perks do not work.
Pug 26 Oct, 2024 @ 3:03am 
Very nice mod! Now I can get rid of the old Custom Settings mod.

I tried all the mods options. It looks like the JA2 Perk change does not work. Tried it with a game restart as well as a new game. It unfortunately won't work.
Ragewraith 30 Sep, 2024 @ 6:44am 
@Sir Ni. Ok thanks for getting back to us. I'll leave it for a couple of weeks then. Cheers again
Sir Ni  [author] 29 Sep, 2024 @ 10:47am 
@Rufafalees & @Ragewraith due to recent changes in the commonlib these features are now affected by the campaign as well, there are probably another few changes that will impact the mod and will updated soon
Rufafalees 29 Sep, 2024 @ 10:44am 
@Ragewraith I am having the same issue with the hired merc limit not working recently
Ragewraith 28 Sep, 2024 @ 8:26am 
Hiya, It seems the mod suddenly isn't working for me not sure why. I have had a break for a few weeks and just came back to play and tried to extend a contract and it said i had hired to many mercs. So I upped the limit to 50 just to sort out but it gave me same message.
S.Imyourflower 21 Sep, 2024 @ 6:33pm 
when i change the Squad 10 Namber size, but the ui donesn't change T_T
S.Imyourflower 21 Sep, 2024 @ 6:17pm 
Merc Squad Squad ui doesn't change
IvashaMagnus 18 Sep, 2024 @ 9:06am 
Tell me please is there a mod or a way to change the auto battle difficulty settings?

I don't ask how to change the number of enemies, because unfortunately this mod doesn't work for me. I deleted parts of the code, but the inventory still disappears)
Sir Ni  [author] 16 Sep, 2024 @ 9:22am 
@razvedchiki if you are using permanent's mod only because of this than you might not using it's full potential
razvedchiki 16 Sep, 2024 @ 9:16am 
thanks man, its a pity though because revised gear adds some usefull abilities like wearing helmets with night vision and gas mask and yours adds a lot of usefull stuff.
Sir Ni  [author] 16 Sep, 2024 @ 2:46am 
@razvedchiki it's not compatible, I sort the vanilla inventory, permanent don't have vanilla inventory
razvedchiki 15 Sep, 2024 @ 1:48am 
hwey, there seems to be a compability issue with the revised gear II mod, it breaks its UI.
IvashaMagnus 10 Sep, 2024 @ 9:11am 
Okay, I'll be more careful and start the game again.
IvashaMagnus 9 Sep, 2024 @ 9:09am 
Hello.

Can this mod make the mercenary inventory and the "other" section in Bobby Ray's shop disappear?
kovacspeter84 25 Aug, 2024 @ 6:23am 
Hi @Sir Ni,
I think I found a bug in the mod: there are two almost identical files stackChange.lua and IncreaseStacks.lua. The latter one seems to be newer version, it is controled by mod options. But even if I disable stack increase, the other file seems to be applied and it increases stack sizes anyway. If I'm right, stackChange.lua should simply be removed.
Doctor Sandvich 18 Aug, 2024 @ 10:52pm 
@Sir Ni Thanks, you described it very well in the options, sorry for asking again
Sir Ni  [author] 18 Aug, 2024 @ 8:36am 
@WOLK as mentioned in my other mod, this mod doesn't work too cuz I just pretend to be a modder
Sir Ni  [author] 18 Aug, 2024 @ 8:35am 
@七万个嫂夫人 no it doesn't because JA3 only considers the battle to start after the aware phase
Sir Ni  [author] 18 Aug, 2024 @ 8:35am 
@Doctor Sandvich in tactical view yes, you select the group of mercs your want to assign to the shortcut, save the shortcut and recall later, unfortunately the shortcut resets when you leave the map so you need to do it again
七万个嫂夫人 17 Aug, 2024 @ 12:52am 
Hello Sir ni, not only auto-resolve but also stealth kill didn't drop
Doctor Sandvich 16 Aug, 2024 @ 11:39pm 
Hello @Sir ni, thank you for the mod. I love the respec option, simple and magic ;) Only used once, for one skill point, but it's good to know I have this option.
Please tell me, where / how should I use the "Control Groups Shortcuts", alt to create them and control to recall them? I would have said on the strategic map (ofc), but I can't get the shortcuts to work.
WOLK 15 Aug, 2024 @ 5:59am 
Tell me, does this mod work now? Can you increase the number of enemies in sectors with it?
Sergeant-Major Hellstrom 7 Aug, 2024 @ 1:23am 
Hello. I've installed the mod, but it seems like my AIM Database tab now doesn't work. Any idea what might be causing it? (Installed the mod mid-game)
Swing 6 Aug, 2024 @ 12:39pm 
increase enemy squad multiplier does not work on current save or do i have to start a brand new save to make it work? thanks
Sir Ni  [author] 27 Jun, 2024 @ 11:22pm 
@kovacspeter84 lol you can patch the mod :steammocking: I will consider your suggestion but please do it in the new section I created or it will be lost in this chat, apparently people like spamming here to talk to me as if I cared :steambored: jk but please do in the suggestion section
kovacspeter84 27 Jun, 2024 @ 11:11pm 
@Sir Ni Hi, thanks for your quick answer. Let me add yet another suggestion. For some stuff, e.g. quest items and valuables, the default drop chance is 100%. And I think it would make more sense to keep the 100% for them even when drop chances are decreased generally. (In the case of increased chances, it wouldn't change anything of course.)

E.g. what about change line 17 from if probability == 100 then to if probability == 100 or item.drop_chance == 100 then ?
Jack Niggleson 26 Jun, 2024 @ 4:00pm 
Ah, okay. Thanks!
Sir Ni  [author] 26 Jun, 2024 @ 3:37pm 
@Jack Niggleson not in perk page, tactical map, select a merc and CTRL + ALT + R magic will happen :steammocking:
Jack Niggleson 26 Jun, 2024 @ 3:34pm 
How do you use respec? I have the option checked but when I press ctrl + alt + r on the perk page for a merc nothing happens.
Sir Ni  [author] 26 Jun, 2024 @ 9:13am 
@kovacspeter84 I will look into it, thanks for the feedback =)
kovacspeter84 26 Jun, 2024 @ 9:07am 
@Sir Ni Great mod. Thanks for making this!

Anyway, could you provide yet another option value for the drop chance setting, e.g. "quarter" (or "fifth")? I personally prefer decreasing it instead of increasing it. Yes, higher drop chance makes the game more realistic, but it also makes the progress too fast (a lot of weapons and armors too early, and if they are scrapped, then a lot of parts too early).

This is similar to the new game option "ammo scarcity", but I find weapon and armor scarcity even much more important. :) I also played with 0% drop chance for weapon and armor previously with the old Custom Settings mod, and I really liked that (rely on chests and Bobby Ray's only).
Sir Ni  [author] 24 Jun, 2024 @ 2:11pm 
@Volcanic the tabs are a problem I am trying to solve but UI is a nightmare for me, as for the sorting, you are right but I don't want to tamper with the slot sorting as well, because 1 UI is nightmare level and 2 there are things in this game you don't want to tamper with, is like voodoo
Volcanic 24 Jun, 2024 @ 1:05pm 
@Sir Ni I think I found the problem. Okay the toggle is a bit ambiguous because clicking any filter or visiting Sat View destroys the actual sorting already done (even if the toggle was "ON" all the time). So "ON" basically just tells you "any changes done from now on causes it to sort again". But yea I can always do it manually, not a big deal, but the sorting could be triggered in those cases. The actual sort problem which I had previously is caused by different item sizes I believe. If you have an empty slot before two slot weapon it causes the logic to pick the first of one slot items after the set of two slot items. So for example Hi-Power, Hi-Power, ->Peacemaker, MG42, MG42, MP40, MP40,... ->Peacemaker, ->Peacemaker. I'm not sure if this fixable (if the game does not allow null.. eh empty slots even during a sort). But yea since I understand it is definitely better than the original, thank you. But if you want to perfect just for fun, those two points.
Sir Ni  [author] 24 Jun, 2024 @ 3:26am 
@Gnoerl oh, TIA = Yoroshiku onegaishimasu lol
no problem, the mod in question might not be updated but the UI is, if it makes sense lol, anyway, I will fix mine eventually, just a bit busy with a new mod :JA3dogtag:
Gnoerl 24 Jun, 2024 @ 3:13am 
@Sir Ni thanks for the quick response. Using the other mod indeed works! Haven't tried that mod until yet due to the comments asking for updates, i therefore was under the impression that the other mod is also outdated - obviously a false assumption!

There is no need to apologize, i appreciate you continuing to update the mod and I look forward to the fix. :)

TIA = Thanks in advance
Sir Ni  [author] 24 Jun, 2024 @ 3:01am 
@Gnoerl Hello, thanks for the feedback =)
You are not wrong the UI is messed up but it's my fault because I did not fixed this yet, you can use this mod it will probably fix the issue until I fix my UI, sorry for the inconvenience. And what is "TIA!" ?
