it's like that one payday 2 mod that made gambler funnest

had to remove all perks from assistant that branch off from apprenticeship as it is checking your character data for an apprenticeship which you don't have.

thanks for for letting me know I'll look into it

Rolling the apprenticeship perk from the assistant tree is causing constant errors

Through multiplayer hosting, then you can pick your class.

Okay, but when do you become 'the mercenary'? I'm only seeing the usual 3 vanilla classes when I start.

as of right now they are only available to players. adding bots would require a overwrite of every single location type in the game making it incompatible with very popular mods like Stations From Beyond. For that reason I don't plan on adding bot support.

I may have too many job mods going (overwriting each other), but not I'm seeing this- where should I be finding the mercenaries, the standard HR interface?

ready for 1.0 now.

Now do the flashbang dance ! Poggers mod ! It is a shame Blue's server on SS13 failed !

I kept the complete randomness, every perk has the possibility to take a slot. Generic perk or Specialization perk.

Its working now. In relation to the update, does all perks have a chance to give a generic perk? Or only the new "luck" tree? Way i did it on my fix was exactly like the new vanilla trees, with a row on top exclusively for random generic perks, and the trees were unchanged.

I had a buddy install the mod and it worked fine for him. Let me know if the fix is still giving you issues.

I might have an idea what it is even though it is not happening to me. Try it now.

Installed and reinstalled new version, but the mod cant be enabled due to
'sprite "Mods/Mercenary Job/Mercenary/MercTalent.png" not found!'
I checked, and the png is on the right place. Am i the only one with this issue?

alright should be ready for the new perks, however I did keep the old starting item pool.

I actually already have an updated version in a mod jam. I can patch it right now as I got home from college recently.

Hey, would you give me permission to upload a patched version for the talent rework update that just came out? I'll link this mod in the description.

I have been taking an extended break from the game, but I might update it in the future.

In relation to the next update, which will revamp talent trees, how will you handle generic talents? Had idea of them being chance related events, rather than being a random perk from a random tree. Something along the line of 1% to instakill without turrets, 10% to deal double damage, that sort of stuff.

For the dropping items the way it works is you actually start with 3 of the same item that decays instantly on round start dropping a random item. Unfortunately it doesn't drop that item in your inventory but on the ground instead.

Just wanted to let you know that when they spawn in, they seem to drop 3 random items onto the ground.

Great work, though! Thanks for the awesome mod man.
I can tell there was a ton of work.

Is it possible to have the personel recruiters at bases also generate npcs with the Mercenary job? I'd love to use this in Single Player.

unfortunately no the ragdoll idea does not work as the list used for the random perk picking only works when attached to an item. The reason we didn't let each merc have the item is to prevent boosting other crewmates with the item and creating a god squad.

Welp, i tried to test it but having to complete an mission every time is time consuming. Isn't it possible to give the item and let us use it ourselves, as well as getting it when we get the skill or ragdoll for a few seconds, rather than completing the mission?

it just gives it to you you should never see it. That item spawns in your inventory and is instantly used which gives a random perk.

Oh. We never got an item, didnt even know we needed one.

honestly I am unsure but since it is the most radical change to the game it is fairly reasonable. since the way the job gives you your perks is a new item that is given to you upon a successful mission which uses the vanilla XML stuff. I have no idea how LUA for Baro changes these things so if there is a fix I wouldn't know about it.

LUA causes issues? Any possible fix?

that means you are using LUA for baro and that might be the issue.

I have Warden job mod and neurotrauma surgery, which adds a surgeon job. Is that the problem? Wouldn't it get perks only from vanilla?

I tested it earlier this morning and it worked with no errors, however it was the only mod I had running. Nothing is overwritten in the mod either so it should be completely fine to use with all other mods. Unless those mods add something like a new skill and overwrites all the vanilla classes.

We already had it installed for a long time. Maybe it needs to be higher up on the load order?

one limitation of the mod is that at time of creation enabling any new class mod that modifies perks would not work without a game restart. When you enabled the mod did you restart your game? Same goes for everyone who is playing with you or joins the server, They also have to restart their game with the mod enabled for it to work.

That's not working, at least not on multiplayer. My friend and i choose a perk, complete a mission and it still doesnt change.

once you pick the perk you will get your random perk after that level

How do you know what perks you have? mine just says "random perk x", even after changing level. Is it only when you complete a mission?

yea that is just some compression stuff just ignore it. The red text is what you have to worry about.

Console says "Could not compress a texture because the dimensions are not a multiple of 4 (Path to Mercenary/MercTalent.png), size 119x119"

yep, some perks are dead perks if there is a prerequisite.

on first screenshot you have true potential but no clown college perk, so it would be useless?

a genius

poggers

Lol, guess that's what I get for being half asleep when I did it. Thanks for letting me know.

You spelled Dualspecops wrong in Merc Item, you spelled it with an E and not an A

roll the dice
god, midcore, or useless.
adds more random in my random and i enjoy
