Jagged Alliance 2 - Urban Chaos Mod

Excellent Total-Conversion Mod for Jagged Alliance 2

Urban Chaos is a first-rate mod for Jagged Alliance 2--and if you like that game and have played it through, what's not to like about essentially getting a whole new campaign to play for free?

You need to have JA 2 installed already on your machine, so if you want this and don't have a copy, go buy one first.

Then download the mod installer by clicking the "Download" button in the "Demos Available" area to left.

Be careful to follow these instructions (taken from The Bear Pit, where you can find a lot of information about JA2 and mods for it.):

Jagged Alliance 2 Urban Chaos Install guide
By Eisenhower (edited for our users by costik)

Follow these steps and you have Urban Chaos installed in no time [Wink]

1. Make sure you have a full clean install of the English Jagged Alliance V1.03. Clean meaning installing JA2 into a new, separate folder. Like C:/JA2_UC. Note: If you kept the game installer when you bought and downloaded it from Manifesto, just start the installer again, and instead of installing the game to the default directory, choose another directory for it. When installation is complete, use this second copy of the game for the Urban Chaos installation. You will not need to "activate" the game again, if installing it on a machine where your original copy is activated.

2. Download all the files of Urban Chaos in one map onto your Hard Disk (just click on the Download button in the demo area at left to do this). Extract the files into a directory.

3. Run UC_setup from this directory. Follow the instructions on the screen. It will ask you to locate your copy of ja2.exe--navigate to the folder where you installed the game fresh (not to the one that contains your original copy of Jagged Alliance 2, unless you don't plan to play the original version of the game ever again). Ignore the text that says that you will be able to run the game from a desktop shortcut (don't do that).

4. After installing you will have to install QuickFix 2. (If you don't do this, the mod will crash your machine after the opening cinematics!) Get QuickFix 2 here.

Unpack it with an unpacking program like winzip or something similar. Place the Prof.dat file in your /Data/Binarydata folder. Overwrite the old file.

5. Launching Urban Chaos:
A) Go to Start -> Programs. And find the JAModsquad group. A screen will appear and take you to to a menu where you can choose between:
Play Urban Chaos
Exit Urban Chaos

B. If the above Play Urban Chaos option returns you to desktop instead of running the game, go to your Jagged Alliance 2 folder and double-click on JA2_UC.EXE . This will also start Jagged Alliance 2 Urban Chaos. NEVER CLICK on JA2.EXE or use its desktop shortcut (you can make yourself a new one pointing to the good exe if you like).
