Description:

– Mod for hosts of Hired Guns 2 – Mercenary Campaign (64bit).

Main Features:

• [COOP1-15+]
• ~100 unique, hand-crafted, story-linked jobs
• Progress/Gear/Vehicles/Money saved to the host
• Hire players/AI to strengthen Tanoa’s new leaders, or just to raid supplies!

Other Features:

• 70 Leader missions, 28 ‘Personal Jobs’ (supply raids and Final Mission), 4 taxis,
• Interact with voice-acted leaders to lead a mission for them, and hire a team to carry it out,
• Money-List highscores,
• Ambient civilian populations to hire for missions,
• Multiple teams can play different jobs simultaneously,
• Custom squad-building GUI,
• Headless client optional (Werthles’ Headless Module built in but not essential to run),
• Alternate units possible for each enemy faction (re-write unit class-lists and rebuild).

Backstory

In a moment of CSAT weakness, leaders across Tanoa rose up to expunge their CSAT oppressors.
CSAT will be back, and in force. The only way to unite Tanoa before their return is to strengthen these leaders against the spectre of anarchy.

Mission Style

• Assassinations, demolitions, total eliminations, deliveries, detonations, escorts, defences,
• Slowly increasing difficult,
• Jobs can be taken from any leader,
• 10 jobs per leader,
• Respawn at any leader’s home once you have met with them,
• Raid weapon caches, banks, steal vehicles, helicopters, planes with ‘Personal Jobs’,
• Cannot pay for more ‘hired guns’ than you or the Tanoan Leader can afford!

– Uses iniDBI (thanks code34) to load missions and to save progress/gear/vehicles/money and some technical information like the missions in progress, top earners and who has joined the host in the mission and when.
– Only the host needs to run this mod, but it doesn’t matter if other players do too.
– Run on the hosts/dedicated server as a normal mod, not a ‘server mod’ in the dedicated server configuration.
– This means you can allow vanilla clients to join the server.

64-bit Changes:

• Hired Civilian AIs will now fight for you correctly on dedicated servers.
• Mission now can take advantage of 64bitness!
• "inidbi2" is now used instead of "inidbi".
• Don’t mix up the 32bit only versions! Use the 64bit mod with the 64bit mission file and the 32bit
• Updating the original would have meant potentially damaging saved progress files.
See here for how to transfer progress between the two mods.
• Works on both 32bit and 64bit game versions.
