I think it is more then that, I think the LOS rules don't work right, and they don't want the camera showing it

a number of times I have seen where I should have a nice clean LOS of site to the target only to be told they can't see it

look at this shot from the weak soldiers to Jabby, there is nothing in the way, from other side

I think you misunderstood me, I meant, if I was hiring, none of these guys would be able to make my team, you need to at least be as good as I am, or have some skills I don't have, and outside of running for speed, I was pretty well trained


Yes, I did misunderstand you, sorry. You wouldn't hire me either because I am a lazy slob but in HG you might because I am a cheap date.

Status: offline 		Since this is a wish list, and most of the game's severe issues are tweekable with MS Excel I rather wish big:

1 - Hired Guns SDK. Look how much new content there is for JA2, imagine that with Hired Guns engine

2 - True Night. I miss JA night ops wearing NV or UV goggles that increased FoV, please give us true pitch black night with light coming from lamps and fire, and NV goggles that effectively increase FoV.

3 - more craters and furniture with goodies inside.

4 - Use of crowbar and lockpicks to open stuff.

5 - Implement the "Jump" action so we can jump over fences and other objects. (it is already mentioned on game files, maybe it's half-way implemented)

6 - Fix the tree top remove feature. Currently the GUI button does nothing.

7 - more interactable NPC's with more missions that make us fight over previously conquered areas.

8 - interactable NPC's that can be hired as mercs or sell/buy goods.

9 - allow us to exit a sector while on the tactical mode by reaching the sector boundaries.

10 - craftable stuff, like molotovs, weapon upgrades, and all sorts of other enhancing devices.

All these were available on JA2, so this should have been part of the original sequel requirements and maybe already partly implemented.

Status: offline 		1. Good luck with that. The reason there is so much new content for JA2 is that the modders working on it have all the original JA2 C++ source code.

2. Don't forget to ask that the pysch test allow you to get the Night Ops trait, which it currently won't.

3. The game already has furniture and crates with goodies.

6. The remove tree top button does work. It just doesn't work as we'd like it to.

Status: offline 		1. A SDK would be enough to create new mercs, storylines and sectors. There were very good mods for JA2 made before the source code was given, and that was done both by tweeking as we are doing with HG, but also by using the world editor tool to design sectors and such.
The JA2 source code gave the ability to improve game features, like the %hit thing and most notorious the JA2 multiplayer MOD.
Those would be nice to have on HG but I would be more than pleased if I had new campaigns with diferent sectors.

2. that's another bug that needs fixing and that I'm hopping it can be tweeked by editing Excel files, so I didn't include on my wish list.

3. I meant more, there are not even close to enough craters with goodies on this game. (fixed on the wish list now)

6. what does it do then? I don't see any change when I click on it... maybe I'm missing something there...

It does focus on a merc when you double click their picture on the left gui. Or did you mean permanent focus/camera follow as they walk? Yea I don't think that's available.


Yeah, and I finally figured out that if you quickly double-click on any of the F1-F6 keys, that will also focus the camera on the merc's location. Life is good again. I still wish the treetops would actually disappear when I tell them to, but you can't have everything.

It makes the trees translucent when you hover the mouse over one, but it doesn't actually remove the trees.

Status: offline 		Someone wished for an ingame screenshot tool if I remember correctly... well it seams this game doesn't stop surprising us because it already has a working Screenshot tool!

It saves 6.7mb .bmp files with my current PC resolution of 1680x1050 in a folder named Shots located on the main Hired Guns game folder.

It works by opening the console with ~ key (left to "1" key) and then typing Screenshot.
This obviously ruins the shot because it displays the console, but then I decided to press all keyboard keys and made screenshots, not sure what key did it though, I'll check it out tomorrow, but now need some sleep.

PS: be warned that the quality of the shots is not great, but good enough to display ingame tactics or bugs.

there looks to be a bug with Interrupts, you can get one, and then on your turn, you have no APs, also most times you do get one, you don't have any APs to react

It would be nice for it to show a trajectory so you can see if it is going to impact an obstacle. This would help a lot when trying to throw grenades into windows and doors!

Status: offline 		Maybe a character panel should be added to show the various skills the Mercs have in the game and actually give us an idea of how the skills can actually work or affect the game? The Mercs description are just too vague and im trying to think that those descriptions are just telling stories.

2. Hunting and looting for equipment hidden in lockers, crates, etc.

3. The second merc company and second on-line store that was in JA.

4. Miss the great battles inside the buildings and sub-basements of the original JA.

5. Tracking of missions & kills by each Merc.

6. Canteens, that when used replenish fatigue (blue bar).

7. Quick Save button, allowing player to save at any time.

2. Tree toggle needs fixing.

3. Range indicator or % to hit marker or both

4. Add visuals for weapon upgrades (Silencer, GL, scope etc...).

5. An option to not watch all of an enemy/allies turn would be nice (watching 20 natives run around in circles getting shot at for 5 minutes every turn is a bit tedious).

agreed, i thought it was just my graphics card

-> Add visuals for weapon upgrades (Silencer, GL, scope etc...)
you mean other than the little "indicator light"? you mean actually show the upgrade in the picture? hmmm, that's a lot of images to have standing by just in case someone adds a silencer...but anyway

->Range indicator or % to hit marker
i like this so i don't waste my AP on low probably shots, but i don't like it as it might detract from the challenge if you ALWAYS knew you were going to hit a target.

O there is a text file that tells you tips and tricks of the game in the game directory and i think when you go to the game section in the start menu.

Check in UI\resources\weapons a lot of the icons for weapons with upgrades already exist. But I did also mean for them to show up in 3d battle as well.

I'd prefer some kind of range indicator as it is less of a detraction from the challenge but I'd rather have anything than nothing.
