The left side of the JAPE window contains a list of all the editablecharacters in the saved game. Characters with a * beside their nameare the mercenaries on your team. Click on the name of character, andhis/her statistics will be displayed on the right side of the window.
You select one savegame slot at the beginning of a new game, and the game will stick to that slot throughout your playthrough. The game will also make sure to save before you leave, so you can rest assured you will always be able to pick up at where you left.

Basic Wildfire support is present, with most of the data differences externalized. You needto have JA2, Wildfire and this conversioninstalled to start a Wildfire game. It is implemented as other mods, so you canstill play vanilla games too.
It was quite easy to hex-edit save files for JA and JADG, because eachmerc in your party has a fixed address for his/her name, followed by allattributes, inventory items, etc. But I think this is no longer the casefor JA2. The last time I looked at the save file for JA2 (demo version),merc names were not stored in plain ASCII text, and possible locations forattributes or items seem to be different everytime you save a game. Gee,I wonder why the designers of JA2 need to take this kind of precautions.I mean, who are they to assume that some of us may actually want to hacka stupid game file.... ur, never mind. ;-)But seriously, I wish there is an "import character" option in JA2, where Ican start a new game with the same (god-like) custom merc from the end of mylast game.--Nai-Chi"Are you crazy?

I am just starting a game with FN P90 and H&K C11 for my Custom, set thespecialties to Stealty and Night Ops.I zipped a saved game once and it was around 500k, not too bad to sendas an attachment.

It would appear, that once a clean save is achieved, laying roads settles down and few(er) errors are encountered. If you lay a large section of road and try to save, you will spend frustrated ages sorting the errors out.
Some tilesets have debris that will tile together to form carpets and other floor graphics. With these, you must place each part individually. Loading your brush with these graphics will only result in the editor laying these at random. 2ff7e9595c
