Features

PCM_basic

This should also run with vanilla JA2 and has less new playable characters: Darrel Jr, Perko, Maria, Skyrider, Fred, John, Matt, Calvin, Carl.

PCM_plus

This needs its own exe to run properly

It has more characters, namely Manuel and Spooky (from vietnam SOG)
It also has reworked item choices so the RPC's get cool equipment

New Version as of 03/06/09 is here

Will Gate's PCM add-on MFM added Mary Kulba, Joey Graham & Oswald Johnstone.

Caveats: let the escorted persons go off on their own upon completion of their quest, they will then join if your leadership is good. (I’m thinking Joey here, don’t let Martha see one of your mercs or her thankyou speech will interrupt Joey joining as RPC).

You’ll have to give them all fighter bodytypes in your prof.dat (use Scorpions PCM prof.dat for the original PCM people then fill in what you like for Mary, Joey & Oswald.. don’t forget their need for sleep, skills etc and make Mary 200 recruit on Friendly & Joey 200 recruit on threaten; Oswald joins up anyway).

Converted sound files so my machine plays them in game. Fixed a few of Skyrider’s files (missing) and filled in his mercedt where blank by mistake. Not MISTAKE actually. Scorpion left these blank (& some Miners speeches) so their interrupt game speeches still made sense. I prefer that their day to day speeches were as full as possible… just a personal preference. Where possible all sound files now converted to the exact JA2 format (some were too small to undergo the conversion but still work in game).

N.B. Problems with Mary Kulba… I’ll keep working on it!
