Yes, the cash loss + some items requiring suitcases and others requiring tiny diamonds I feel leads to a more interesting decision to be had when cutting down a suitcase.

Hmm, 1 suitcase of diamonds worth $12.000, cut into 10 pcs of tiny diamonds worth $5.000.

Is this design intentional?

Yes,

Does it work with patch 1.3.0 codename “Vicky”?

@bagsy72 Will do it. Thanks.

We put the suitcase in the pocket of the mercenary, the connect option appears, add a knife and get 10 bags of diamonds.

What do you mean? We can´t break the big ones to get the tiny ones anymore?

After the last patch, diamonds are taken from the suitcase, but there is no longer an inventory purchase icon in the ports

Is anybody having problems cutting big diamond into tiny diamonds? I can´t see the ¨combine¨ options at all when selecting Saphires or the big diamond. Maybe is this caused by the last patch?

@Tropenfruechtchen
Could be that your inventory was full. I haven't used this mod in a long time. Think I remember having the same issue,

They appear on my IMP merc´s inventory, which is at top of the mercs´s list. So check the one merc you have on top of all them.

yeah, l don't think they turn up in sector stash. Reload and complete with lots of space on the operative merc

call me stupid, but where are the bought items?
Maybe I cant see them because my merc inventory is full?

Would be awesome to have this play well with ToG

Thanks I_van. Please do come visit again soon :)

works on my machine™, probably a mod conflict, I'm guessing something is either removing vanilla weapons or editing craft explosives.

Ill also take a look at giving it its own operation and making an addon for Tons of Guns

game freezes when I pick a weapon.. Is this compatible with current version of the game?

Can you add the guns from tons of guns mod to this. Currently they don't drop (wip) but l'm wondering if this mod can handle an added gun mod being present (or not) for display in the purchase screen.

Also note the devs released a sample mod (scrounge) that is an operation you can do. Perhaps you can look at this to figure out how to implement your mod without eating the existing craft explosives operation.

Really love this mod. It makes the diamond shipments more important and preserves a natural JA feel to the game.

- M1014: the improper spelling of "Venni, vidi, vinsi" must be part of the joke, right

+1 . That spelling is disturbing as it is the lack of faith in the Force.

- Uzi: "drive-by" instead of "drive-by shooting"? (Again, not sure. Not american.)
- AA-12: "gold plated" instead of "gold-plated"
- AK-74: "Soviet" and "Afghani" are capitalized, while other nationalities in other descriptions aren't.
- M1014: the improper spelling of "Venni, vidi, vinsi" must be part of the joke, right?

That's it for now. I hope this helps! :-D

Awesome mod! The description of the items is 100% inline with the good old Jagged Alliance 2's ones! More so than JA3's, actually! :-D :-D

I did spot some typos though:
- 5,56mm are labelled as "556" instead of "5,56mm"
- Same for 7,62mm : "762" instead of "7,62mm
- Several ammo items: "the 70's" instead of "the 70s"
- Kevlar armor: "Slowing" instead of "Slowly"
- Stick grenades: "after its left" instead of "after they left"
- Mk2 grenades : "the 40's" instead of "the 40s" (I'm starting to see a pattern here…)
- MP5 : I'm not sure if "gotten" is correct or not (I'm not a native english speaker). Also, a semi-column after "Wisconsin" would look better. :-)
- Remote detonators: "A 3 pack" instead of "A 3-pack" (… I think?)

i been putting in alot of hours on this game and i rate this mod very highly. It was a really good idea to implement a use for tiny diamonds and briefcases and it almost feels native. Good job! Nice touch as well on the "some assembly required" haha

Nice Mod!
Can you add a function that Pater Tooker can sell 1 / 10 / 100 lil diamonds?

I would if I had any clue what I was doing

Great mod. Can you add options to customize the costs? I think certain weapons are a bit too cheap. Dragunov is a prime example.

It was the Dragunov! Thanks.

I can confirm the ¨combine¨ option is fixed. Thanks.

Coming back to this, I have to say it works very well and adds to the game in and in an immersive way.

@DabHand if you were talking about the Dragunov, that was an oversight on my part. Should be fixed now.

@Zacarias should be fixed

Rebalanced the mod some, prices should be less obnoxious and feel properly tiered. Been sick and busy for like a week so I couldn't fix anything, sorry. As for ingame settings I have no clue how to do that and my lua skills are basically non-existent.

oh is it the known issue above: - You can't craft guns from an operation or have a combination result in more than 2 tiles of items, I'm working within limits.

But l see people discussing the price of certain weapons. Nope, even more confus :(

Can someone explain this to me. I paid my tiny diamonds for a rifle. Time passed and the operation finished...
Now what? Nothing in inventory/stash. People talking about crates and combining 3 items...l am nonplussed. Please ELI5

You're right, the combine option is gone...

I did it once but the option is not there anymore. I uninstalled and installed the mod and still the same problem...

You have to combine it with a knife.

I can´t see the option to divide the briefcase. Is there anything specific I have to do? What´s the exact procedure?

One Bobby Ray cries somewhere.

also +1 for
"in game options for controlling the difficulty and inflation"

Top Mod!

@I_van yes the 3 parts did the trick. Had dropped all parts to sector stash before. Thanks, works now!

Absolutely fantastic idea, great use of diamonds!

"in game options for controlling the difficulty and inflation"

+1

This is a great an flavourful idea, fitting the current game and doing something extra with the diamonds!
As James009 said below, balance should not be your primary concern. and "Consider adding in game options for controlling the difficulty and inflation."

Everyone has a different idea of what is fair or good for their game after all. I personally like games like this to be hard and white knuckle, but others are the complete opposite. If you manage to find a way for people to tweak this with settings you will please all, and save time on trying to balance overly - as people will *always* complain in their entitlement.

@MacRyan you need 3 parts and the crate within the same squad I believe to combine, if that doesn't work it could very well be a bug. What item did you get?

On the n ote of balance, I'm considering just doing 1-2 suitcases + tiny diamonds. It might be a little abstract but it would mean you still need to intercept a convoy to get higher end items, but not like 3 times when they're effectively time gated. I also will probably make a few presets you can just swap the files to + its easy to edit them yourself

Very stupid question: How do I get the stuff out of the crate? Sounds like I should be able to combine it or have something in the item menu? But there is only drop and give.

This is fantastic, good work but don't worry too much about balance, this is a singleplayer game after all. Consider adding in game options for controlling the difficulty and inflation.

IMO the high end gear should use a new currency or something else that is rare to acquire, like the chipped blue sapphires or something like that. Money in this game is easy to come by and as mentioned you can convert it to tiny diamonds. The diamond shipments are also pretty easy to acquire too.

(With Scoundrel or Negotiating Perk you can get a Tiny Diamond for 900$)

60k$ is even too cheap imo, especially on MI.

You can convert $ to Tiny Diamonds in the Church, even on MI some people have millions of dollars, so you can infinitely buy the stuff with Tiny Diamonds, this is already a big balance issue.

The Diamond Shipments are fine since you need to actively do something for getting them.

Def some fair points, it is balanced for the easier difficulty because that's what my first playthrough was on. Currently doing a commando run and so far I do agree I went overboard with some of the prices, I was probably shocked by how monstrous the AK-74 is
