Version 1.9.2: Alarms


Today we release 1.9.2 which is a minor feature update.

These are the following new features:


  • Alarms
    • In a scene with hostages, alarm sirens are located around the scene. If a militant sees an enemy he will try to sound the alarm. After the alarm sounds they will try to kill the hostages to prevent them from escaping.
  • Improved AI
    • improved stand-off, take cover and flank behaviours
    • changed buggy handling of door opening
    • AI closes doors to take cover
    • improved smart chase function
    • improved hostage behaviour
    • AI uses more accurate targeting data
    • Grenades only thrown when there are a group of soldiers, or when the soldier is behind cover. Also, less grenades are thrown in easy level
  • Improved icon flash when your merc discovers a new enemy
  • New type of scenes with long buildings
  • More art work: promo image, new Ben Dabi portraits.
  • The player can continue to move around the scene after the battle has finished

Also, many bugs have been fixed since last version.

Game saves are compatible with previous version

Hey Ed, nice to see that development is going on. I could do some testing but at the moment I do not have the time to play a full campaign. Could you provide some save game files of situations that are important to be tested? For example if you consider hostage rescue missions an important subject for testing you could provide some save game files of a campaign at exactly this point and with a specific weapon layout.

Hi Petf, 

There's not really any specific things to be tested. 

You could try this game save - it's just at the point that you can do the hostage quest: www.astronautz.com/gamesaves/s9_0165.bin

Also, this is one from the same campaign, but more advanced:

Also, there is a now "hostage" selection in the quick battles.

Send me an email if you need a link to the full version of the game

Thanks for those files! I've just sent you an e-mail.
