RE: Hired Guns Reinforced

<t> That's a .577 (it says at the beginning of the video - .577 T-Rex) - the guy at the end seems to be the only one with a clue of how to brace correctly, everyone else seems to have it braced on their arm rather than shoulder, and flat, no braced feet, rather than leaning into it. It's been a ...

RE: Hired Guns Reinforced

<t> SCAR L S then? Any other variants making their way in? As far as I can tell, the only visible difference (at that size at least) between the H and L is the magazine shapes, but that's just dependent on the mags, and then there's different barrels (CQC, S, and LB, for close, normal, and sniper ...

RE: Hired Guns Reinforced

<t> Given what else you've said in that post, that picture is now really confusing!!! It looks like a SCAR H S (standard barrel), and does damage to go with that look (7.62N/7.62 Soviet - yes, it can fire either given a little modification), but it's firing ammo like it's a SCAR L S (5.56) (even ...

RE: Cant leave after battle

I believe there's a message at the top of the screen that says "Sector Clear" when there are really no more enemies, although it's only there for a short time.

RE: NooB Question

You don't even need to go into the map - click on the 2nd icon from the left (helmet and crossed guns) to show the sector inventory (make sure you have the North Road selected)

RE: More Money

<t> Working with the files is not a problem - try substituting them into your game folder (take a backup, of course!) and try running the game, start a new game, then watch it crash out with an unintelligible message.<br/>

Office can deal with them (they're well formed XML) and fill in the ...

RE: More Money

<r> Notepad is fine, but makes it very hard to read (XML is meant to be semantic, and while semantically good for a spreadsheet, it's next to impossible to read for a "config" or "data" file - you can tell where the rows are, but you have to remember which column is which, kinda hard when you've got ...

<t> I've just tried using OpenOffice Portable (2.0.4) and every file I've edited gives me errors when I try to start the game (in Russian no less). I don't have MS Office at home, and certain files actually cause Excel 2003 to crash at work (Persons.xml and versions thereof)<br/>

RE: M2 50 Cal Usage

<t> Do the mounted guns have a small angle of fire within which they can be used? I've tried using them a couple of times, but I always find that the sight turns red/black flashy, as if the target can't be seen, even if the target is right in front of the barrel and just twitching on the trigger ...

Here's a copy of the system.cfg (rename from .txt) with 800x600 - it's possibly got some "funky" changes as I took my file and just changed the res.

RE: Game won't run

<t> Try this: Have a look in your Hired Guns folder for a file called system.cfg, open it up in Notepad (or your favourite text editor) and look for r_height and r_width, change them to the relevant settings and see if that works?<br/>

It appears that default res is 1024x768 and min is ...
