overpowered stats and talent, boring

That's a nice preset, thanks. I will check in game.

Pants = "EquipmentDrMangel_Bottom",
PantsColor = PlaceObj('ColorizationPropSet', {
'EditableColor1', RGBA(80, 30, 14, 255),
'EditableColor2', RGBA(189, 171, 149, 255),
'EditableRoughness2', -128,
'EditableColor3', RGBA(11, 31, 50, 255),
'EditableRoughness3', 127,
'EditableMetallic3', -69,
}),
Body = "EquipmentDrMangel_Top",
BodyColor = PlaceObj('ColorizationPropSet', {
'EditableColor1', RGBA(80, 30, 14, 255),
'EditableColor2', RGBA(189, 171, 149, 255),
'EditableRoughness2', -128,
'EditableColor3', RGBA(11, 31, 50, 255),
'EditableRoughness3', 127,
'EditableMetallic3', -69,
}),

Spider is my favorite cheap Merc from JA2. What do you thnk about updating the preset? There is very good Body and Pants preset that allow to change colors EquipmentDrMangel_Top EquipmentDrMangel_Bottom, it will give results similar to the amazing image you have (white gown and light blue shorts and long sleeve) e.g.

I would also remove the green aids...

Hmmm, next time I update her I'll try to remember and check this

Hi @key could you change/remove callout that spiders uses when in stealth mode: the long "yeeeeeeesssss... " In JA2 it was used when merc was tired and for spider it does not fit the stealth.

What about using "Yes?", and "Hmmmm..."`SelectionStealth` (the short yes?)

Major update:

- No more perk icon duplication on mod reloads
- Converted and reworked Field Surgery/Field Treated perk to UnitReactions
- New Field Treated icon
- Moved the needed pics/icons to the UI folder to eliminate some warnings
- Old portrait and body are available in /UI/old_UI

@KeldorKatarn : that's a fair comment. It usually boils down to available voice samples and/or possibility for AI voice generation. So sometimes it's either a moody voiceline or silence :(
This is really a limitation of not having actual voice actors unfortunately...

Her response to being clicked or given an order is sometimes moody, despite her morale being normal or high. Same with Lynx and others. The moody response should only happen at low morale

It can happen, yes.

Her mitigations are:

Hire either one of these mercs: Vicki, Static or Raven

Is it normal for her to refuse to join at game start?

@Folioman: If I'd be a jerk, I'd just say: Git gud!

Bit I am not a jerk (not always, anyways), so let me give you some pointers:

pro primo 1) one of the best things you could do is learn more about (file/content) search / regular expressions - in this specific case you should have e.g. a good file explorer (e.g. Total Commander) that gives the ability to search the content of the files. And then search for a (relaitvely) unique string/regular expression, e.g. in your case for the string 'Larry' (maybe start that for filenames) and e.g. 'Health' in content of the file or whatever. In your case this leads to JaggedAlliance3Modding-main\Data\UnitDataCompositeDef\Larry.lua
or even for your purposes maybe:
JaggedAlliance3Modding-main\Data\VoiceResponse\Larry.lua
as this contains the voice responses which you've found cool.

Thank you key. But I knew that already...
The question is, in all that lua files mess, where are the mercs and their stats ?

@Folioman: Are you aware of this source resource? https://github.com/THQNordic/JaggedAlliance3Modding

By any chance, do you have lua files of Larry to edit with Notepad ? I have all the AIM Mercs lua files but not the ones of the free Mercs you may get while playing... especially Larry addict who always surprises me by some of his punchlines :-)

Thanks for the info on the Nexus, I will need to check those then.

FYI, I am using Notepad++ to edit the files directly - and really use the Mod Editor sparringly - exactly because of the SoundID re-generation.

Ha, I remember of course (name is the same I believe), and you sure are persistent about that wilderness perk :)

Thanks Key, you were right ! Something in the last game upload messed with some mods.
Remember me on Nexus ? I'm the one who wanted my Doctor Houston like this:
https://ibb.co/6yJVFHW

To let you know, your Flo and Spider on Nexus aren't working anymore, you'll get the "mannequin" on the Mercs roster if you use them (at least for me...)
And if I want to change the look of your Merc, I must do it step by step... head then body then hairs etc. and not by downloading the whole Model directly.
I noticed it with your help but also when I changed Flo clothes for *military green" shirt and skirt with high heels (you remember ?) but not changing her head and her voice was still there.

And I gave all Mercs the special Perk "Nazdarovya" !
I think they all have the right to take a sip from time to time ;-)

Thanks again for your help and your Mercs !

(I'm still hoping that you'll create a Merc with a special Perk that may allow the team to rest as if there was a Bar but in wilderness !)

"Change her without losing her voice?" care to explain more?

If you mean changing in the Mod Editor - then yes, the Mod Editor has a tendency to re-generate the soundIDs, hence you lose the reference to the voice files. (This is why I generally avoid the Mod Editor or use it sparringly - if you don't touch stuff that tirggers a re-generation, you might be ok)

Hi Key. Why can't I change her without losing her voice ?

thanks for Donna, but can you maybe change her clothes? the medical coat ist a little buggy and dont really fits in the perception.

Distortion? I though you said a bit too erotic... Let me check, but again, this is stock Ja2, I did not change anything, and I am afraid if it is distortion, I am not a big sound wizard to correct that ...

@Key : the problem is not the word "yeeesss?" in itself, the problem is the sound distorsion, that is very disturbing to hear !
Can you solve ?

Hi, that is a very specific complaint :)
While that is stock JA2 voice line (I have not changed it), if you are annoyed with it, your best bet is to open the mod in the mod editor (accessible from the JA3 game itself), and open this mod, and remove that line.
The sound id in question is 438904438200, and the text is "Yes?".

Hi, I really like all of your mercs. I have a problem with this one though. I don't like Spider's response when she is selected. That very long "yeees" is a bit too erotic for my taste. Other times she sounds like a proper doctor. Is there a way to take out just that one line? Thanks.

Thanks for this. Spider was always a must on my JA2 teams. Much obliged.

I have now explicitely added a property to not show up in the shop, please report if this helped.

Ha, good catch, thanks benden! Let me check how to restrict it

Just spotted a bug with 1.3: Spider's trauma kit in Bobby Ray's !

Woah nice 80s hair, very appropriate!

@InTheGhett0 you mean him:
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3042111013

Not to be "That guy" but I'm missing my boy Razor Lamotte.

Need me a psycho that isn't Fidel. And I feel like Nails and Meltdown need Razor to make a proper threesome or weirdos.

Thanks for the mods man!

Both the steam workshop and nexus version work.

Access to nexus is blocked....

So only the nexus version works?

Of course there is :)

Looks outstanding. Is there voice?

I believe I've found a workaround for the upload, it should be finally corrected. Thanks for the patience!

I could upload the corrected version to Nexus (https://www.nexusmods.com/jaggedalliance3/mods/186?tab=files) , you could use that one until I figure out how to upload here.

Hmmm, stupid Mod editor keeps overwriting my changes, cannot upload to steam the corrected version of the Trauma Kit :(

I get that. However, we're at JA3 economy...

Yep, they are, nevertheless these are JA2 values (daily rates), and generally I try to be as faithful to Ja2 as I can.

Thanks for your efforts, I like both Buzz and Spider.
But they're too expensive.............

Nice, medic, medic ...!!!!

Kudos to @Timmeh for his ideas/work on Wounds.
