JA2 1.13 Mod
Jagged Alliance 2 mod | Released Apr 28, 2008
The Jagged Alliance 2 "1.13 Mod" is an engine modification to the original JA2. Among many other changes, the AI has been vastly improved, a new difficulty level, windowed mode, support for resolutions up to 1024x768, a New Inventory system, and much of the data has been externalized. The mod does not change the original maps or storyline.
Key features can be read by going to the homepage wiki, but here is a rundown:
AI: They'll out flank you, and climb the rooftops to come after you or to kill you from a distance with Sniper Rifles.
Externalized Data: Enemy patrols, Movement costs, shopkeepers, army compositions, garrisons, and more has been externalized. The major feature here, is item externalization. The original game was limited to 350 different items, that cap has been removed and all item data has been externalized. Now, there are over 1000 different items in the game, and many of those are weapons.
JA2_Options.ini: The options file for the non-modder (Current release also includes an INI editor to simplify things even further). This file contains options to control many different aspects of gameplay and speacial features. Here, you set how many IMP's you're allowed to hire, whether or not AIM Mercs die while on assignment elsewhere, the detail level of enemy soldier information available to you, how fast militia are trained, whether or not you can train them to move about freely, and how often you want to experience weather in the game. For a complete list, you'll have to check out the ini file.
New Inventory System: The New Inventory System uses LBE's (Load Bearing Equipment) to expand and change your merc's Inventory. Standard equipment slots now include a Gun Sling, and a Knife pocket in addition to the normal Armor and Face Item Slots. All other equipment slots depend on various different vests, thigh rigs, and backpacks that you can pickup or buy. The system may seem complicated at first, but many visual indicators help you to know where you can and can't put your gear. The new inventory system allows you to carry a wider variety of equipment, but in some cases less quantity than the original inventory system. The original 12-slot inventory is still available, and you can choose between both systems when starting a new game.
Bobby Ray's: Bobby Ray's now has many different filters and sorting options, and there are 4 levels of gear you can choose from when you start a new game, they range from Normal to Awsome level where all items are available at BR's from the beginning. A great way to try out those hard to find favorite weapons.
Other features include:
- Weather effects, rain messes with your aim, and Lightning can reveal your position in nighttime combat!
- Full Auto-Fire in addition to Burst and single shot weapons.
- Chance To Hit indicator above the targeting cursor.
- NEW M.E.R.C. Mercs from UB (Unfinished Business)
- Roaming Militia Patrols.
- Give orders to Militia during Tactical Combat!!
- Vehicles have inventories.
- Increased number of possible Tilesets to 255, UB Tileset pack downloadable as an option for Modders.
- New Map Editor supports the externalized Items and expanded tilesets.
-UB style IMP generation, No more questionaire for pseudo-random abilities.
- Grenade launchers with Burst capability.
- Items (typically armor) that give Camoflauge bonus.
- Capability of readying a weapon without firing it (Raise the weapon one turn, save a few AP on the next when you fire at your target, and also take advantage of Sniper Scope vision range increase)
- IMP Files are now stored by name, and instead of using XEP624 or 90210, you can type in the nickname of a previously created merc, and automatically have him added to your team!
- Tool tips have been added to give important information about items without having to right-click on them to see the details. You can even get information on equipment the enemy is carrying!
- Added a number of new ammo types and explosion types such as tracer ammo, and explosions that cause spreading fire.
- Soundmanager now supports MP3 and OGG sound formats

In combination with the MULTIPLAYER MOD of course ;)
This is the best and most needed mod on earth! Thanks, thanks, thanks!
There is an updated EXE available for download from the home page, version 2112. It's just a replacement EXE for the game, no installer or other files required if you've installed 2085.
I've uploaded the interface pack 2.0... There is also a patch located on the home page (just an updated exe that fixes several bugs). Enjoy!
Hi! Great news! I have been tracking this mod for quite a while and it definitely rocks! I love your mod guys, keep up the great work. Cheers
I just uploaded the latest release installers, so they should be availabe some time tommorrow.
This mod page is somewhat dead and no longer updated. I wouldn't use the package they have here, get it through SVN instead, and install the beta 22 .exe from the Overhaul dude over on the Bears Pit forums.
I haven't had much time to update this page lately. The 1080 release turned out to have some serious bugs in it. While the posted release here is more stable, it's extremely old. I'd do as Theshodan suggests and either update via SVN, or find the latest available download from the bear's pit. A new official release will be coming soon within the next month or two, and it will be posted here. The new-inventory and multiplayer functionality will not be a part of that release though unfortunately, they will remain in beta as seperate downloads for quite some time.
hehe, always wanted too use the .50 at soldiers, armed with 9mm handguns :P .
It's a little late to be posting these now, so I'll make sure and get them linked to MOD DB again with the next release. You can still grab the current release from Khelle.de linked on our homepage though.
