7.62 Hard Life

I'm pretty sure I dont have it on and I'm lvling up my experience just fine.
Only thing not leveling is camouflage. Doesnt matter if I press yes or no to ambushes it just doesnt lvl up. Good think I upped it to 85 from the start.

It only raises if you press yes.

When do traders restore their money?

"A Group" for the government, have to go to rebel camp to see their version.

Check your failed quests and tell me whats there.
If nothings there screencap your active questlog.

No failed quests. Here is the quest log (like I said I haven't accepted either faction's version of the quest, or even asked about it without reloading, yet). The briefcase quest is actually finished, but I was attacked by bandits looking for it after I gave it to the recipient.

...

You need Blanco's card on you when speaking to the banker.

So I shouldnt start the mine unless I have mad dosh? I have like 50k right now.

Also I need to get explosives for sevuelo or whatever his name is,, but I can't seem to find a trader to do it.

Also what is this trading nonsense? You mean I can make money by doing things other than being a murderhobo?

It's a quest item. It's impossible to not have it on me.

You can take a small loan of up to one million dollars.

Have you tried the only chemist in town?

Oh right you need to secure the base first.
You can get the quest from the small guy in PV.

I didnt even know the town had a chemist. Well shit, thanks man.

Who's the small guy?

Apparently I got the banker killed at some point during that mission where the gang holds it up. I have a very string feeling that this is going to bite me in the ass, also the swat team never fucked off either. Am I going to have to load a save?

took me fucking 10 hours to get to the mine level, finally understand how to play now

...

Yes.

CIA

I just do the Olvega-Santa Maria route, it's pretty proffitable, you can make around 7k to 10k selling all the canisters and is a short route.

Where is the guy I'm supposed to off in the mission "A group"? Searched all over town, waited a couple hours, nothing. Can't find the rebel guys in town either.

Shit, reloaded my save from the robbery mission. Looks like I have some stuff to do over. That sucks, at least I picked up a hunters license when I was in town. I have discovered the bipod, life is good.

Its in the nature of the game really. Theres so much shit to know to do it right. I had to restart like 4 times until I got it right.

Well for me it doesnt. Done 6 ambushes now and avoided like 10 and its still 85 just like at the start.

No idea whats up with that tbh fam

Need to try ironman next time, maybe it will work opposite then.
Whats the benefit of experience btw?

Post your raifus, I want to see what you guys use. Having a hard time choosing mine.
Been using the m4a1 a lot , like to knife / engage in close range so its pretty gud.

...

I talked to every named NPC and none of them offer quests. Do I need to increase CGL?

Ask barmen for news, what you need is to raise your professionalism. Or do some story missions.

Is that the one that the puerto viejo hunting weapons guy sells? Or am I mistaking it?
I really like marksman rifles too but I really hate that most of them cant be cleaned without the kit.

Any quick way to raise profesionalism beyond "do every quest"?

OK so what the fuck do i do
just starting
someone give me a guide

Don't know if you hate new players so much, but a copypasta about what the fuck this game is about would be pretty helpful.

...

You run around the jungle and kill niggers, then you sell their shit, then repeat.

Should i even attempt to get these guys who are escaping?

You can get it from hunting store but he sells it for twice the market worth.

Dont fail every quest helps too.

The pastebin not enough?

Yes.

For the first time, i actually killed the patrol fucks who run away
they were both facing a wall so i could actually sneak up on them and bust a cap in them

What are the keys you can find in Sagrada for?

I seriously hope no one here sides with the commie spic guerillas.

I wish you could flip the visor up and down on that helmet in the game.

The feature is there but its commented out apparently because it doesnt work very well.

Just checked, we have the model for the open version, maybe somebody could get it working. I found a way of getting magnifiers to flip but it's kind of a pain since you need to open the guns info window and right click on it there maybe it could work the same way for the helmets? It's just a simple item swap after all.

Its literally just an uncomment.

It literally isn't, have you tried? There is no entry for the open version of the helmet in armourinfo, you would have to at least create that as well.

Just tested it myself and the open version doesn't even show up on ivanov.
I just wanted a nifty visor

Eh, fuck me then

I thought you were shitposting, or vastly over exaggeration the amount. How important is the mine? I still haven't met the other guy who can buy ore, the one other than the drug baron. At least I think I havent.

...

Mandatory if you play the independent route, extremely useful otherwise.
Rico is in Del-Reservo

Shotguns are good for this as well.

Anything I can do about this or am I fucked?

Did you pirate it?

Just cleared the base, can I safely store my stuff in the boxes/safe around camp or should I stick with my main stash I have going?

Nope. This is actually pretty late in my save game and I've been there before.

Also, I went to give the folder/information to cyrus lond in Puerto Viejo and was attacked, he got away. Should I reload or just be happy with the loot I got?

Usually this happens with an older version of the game but apparently it some form of script corruption that still exists in the current version.

The easiest method to fix it is creating a Mods folder in the root directory and then put into Mods\Data\Actors\Monsters the files stand_idle_free_01.azp and 220_alvarodefensa.azp you can find in HardLife.zip

Reload if you dont have the secret documents on you.

Reloaded and gave the card to the banker. Haven't spoken to Lond and I'm back at the base. Should I wait for that guy to show up or go kill lond?

Go kill Lond, the "Tourists" drop some really high tech gear.

Good to know I can fix it.

Where are those files in hardlife.zip?

...

Gear is very nice, now I have two of those secret documents as well. Bug or intentional?

the files definitely aren't in the zip, but in data/actors/monsters from game root, first one is named like it should be in 177.azp archive and the alvarodefensa archive is in the same dir as the 177.azp.
how would loading the same animations and models from the mods folder fix the scripting issue?

the game randomly tries to apply the wrong animation set for an NPC

I can find 220_alvarodefensa.azp but not the other one

as i said, im fairly certain that it's inside 177.azp archive since thats where the animation defs are stored
tbh im really surprised if the game actually loads loose animations without packing them all and replacing the whole archive
tbh im even more surprised if the fix actually works

How do I actually open an azp archive then? 7zip won't do it.

you need Total Commander to open it
here volafile.io/r/9vv9tbcm I just uploaded the specific version for 7.62

azp.exe or the TC plugin lel from the modkit

Can you just upload the file I need?

My ford is overloaded by 125kg, send help.

Really though how do I stop being a packrat?

Get the base, unlimited storage through the trader.
You can also just use the boxes

Talk to the weapons dealer in Sagrada

I found a police car in a random encounter but it looks like its engine is busted, anything I can do to fix it because pushing this shit is out of the question.

Push it ;^)

:^(

How do I contact the AIS?

Sagrada, the building in front of the coppery

Do I talk to Maria? She doesnt wanna talk to me.

That means you dont have enough proffessionality

jesus fuck me
*proffessionalism

I found out that you can get small gold sacks from the village head of Villarado, you have to refuse the Gold Medallon and the unique pistol as a reward when you complete Seven. These small gold sacks cost 700 and it can be sold to the Con Artist in Olvega for 2k to 3k.

They sell for even more to the toy seller.

The one in Campecino?

It doesnt matter if you refuse the rewards fam.

Is it just me or does most of the fun in this game come from learning the absolutely ludicrously clunky gameplay?

I don't even mean this as an insult, it is legitimately really fun learning how this buggy, clunky, unintuitive game works. I have about 15 hours in it and am having a blast.

Ye its the joy of the masochistic puzzle of figuring out what works intuitively and what requires fiddling to accomplish what you want. Its kinda like the joy of breaking the game for your own amusment except youre trying to make it work instead.

Nope, that pretty much it.
We should work on a trading list, I know the qaut in the forest camp will by booze from you. Now I just need to find the place where I can buy bottled for the cheapest.
Also will a quest take you down to the rico fag who will buy your ore? I dont wanna waste a trip down there just to talkto him. I got cleared with the bank for a small loan and want to start making some real fucking money.

You can radio in a guide from CdO afair, never used the feature myself so theres that.

I hope you blasted that jew in the head with swastika bullets

any chance we can mod in some AI improvements?

The AI is set to 80 IQ as to not blow your CPU.

You can set it to 100 IQ and enjoy the framerate drops and added suffering.

Well maybe when I get a new pc. can't go any higher than 100?

Im not sure what setting it higher that 1.0 does tbh fam

There is a trade guide in the steam forums, but anyways.

Olvega:
-Buy: Vodka Canisters (Bartender)
-Sell: Cocaine and Pills (Bartender), Small gold bags(Con Artist)

Santa Maria:
-Buy: Fuel, it's dirt cheap. (Con Artist)
-Sell: Vodka Canisters, not the best place to sell but it gives decent income and it's also a short route. (Bartender)

Sagrada
-Sell: Commie books, Vodka Cannisters (best place to sell them) (Con Artist)

Somebody continue this, im off to sleep. Feel free to add and change stuff.

should i just murder all of these people

Well, do you want to?

sure i mean they shot first

Go nuts then. Just keep in mind that if thats happening due to a glitch you should reload.

Just keep in mind that as soon as you kill the last cop, the CGL is instantly set to 8 and faction warfare begins.

JUST

send aid

Just Pepe, posing by his pile of dead niggers.

Oh shit I just found something out! Hold down your left click when you are firing full auto and you will see a red bar, your guy will sweep that area when he fires.

You drag it to the direction you want to sweep in, forgot to add that.

Didnt I put that into the bin?

I don't think so, unless its been updated since I read it last. You may want to put tactical stepping, rolling, and all that other nonsense in there too.

Oh, one more thing to put in there. You know that cop car you told me to push? Fuck you I found an exploit.
As long as its in the blue ring you can enter the local sector and reposition it there, saving assloads of time by "leapfrogging it" sector to sector.
I was in villarado and I noticed I could swap it out, despite it being in the jungle out of the sector.

You dont need to reposition to do that fam

Is this the dreaded dead nigger storage?

Well, go to your key and click on it.

Pepe says, as long as you do a job you love. You will never work a day in your life. And Pepe loves his job.

Seriously, I chose him at first because his name was pepe and it made me chuckle, but I love this faggot. Bullets just bounce off his fat smelly mexican hide as if they are repulsed to enter it, and he mows down wave after wave of Jamals with his shotgun.

Found the doc for the base but he isnt giving me his mission. I already got the trainer. Should I do more missions?

Try getting the mechanic first.
