Jungle Wars: Island of Lingor

[Fox '09]

he said the 21st was the public beta release a while ago, althoug i havent followed the thread

[IceBreakr]

Well, I guess I'll have to postpone, we've spend numerous hours this week bugfixing and making stuff MP compatible... RPT errors for "missing configs" of default BIS objects is also an annoying process... for example: a single undocumented dedicated server script issue took more 8+ hours of testing & editing... :/

Things that are still WIP and not ready:
- improving satellite images with detailed data (today)
- ILS & Alice AI testing (today)
- mig21s & camos
- interceptor vest for rebels (unable to contact IceWindo for past week or so)

We will still host UGAF/SBP beta-test today (Thursday 21st) and final training for the Powershow event, but it will be a closed one. Since there are ~20 guys already testing, no further beta testers are needed now.

Expect a trailer movie for island & powershow event coming soon.

icebreakr if i could just get my hands on the map would be sweet then i can start building missions immediately.

i dont need the rest until you're ready - just the map.

Lightspeed_aust: you got PM

So, there are a lot of folks that just like to use island without units and additional stuff. So I'll release two addons:

Lingor Island v0.99
Included: new buildings, new objects, new jungle/river environment sound, berghoff vegetation, ibr_plants, mondkalb latin buildings.

Lingor Extras v0.99
Included: Mig-21 aircraft in 3 camos (1 unarmed for airshows and formation flying), GAL (Government Army of Lingor) infantry units, ARL (Armadas Revolucionarias de Lingor) rebel infantry units, Police unit, Local Civilians, Armed Civilians, "Slayers", + a new special unit that will remain a secret until the release)

A pity imho, the great thing with duala is that it comes with some dedicated addons that mission makers can put to use w/o worrying about addon dependencies (especially in MP!). Of course you can expect at least some preparedness from everybody, but we all know how well that works

Hi IceBreakr, and all people working on this project,

Are missions and/or campaigns planed with the release? Is it planed for later?

Thanks and congratulations for this great work!

[WallyJas]

You are the master of map making and ALSO the master of creating suspense!

[Lightspeed_aust]

i will be using the units and rebel infantry for this - but i can start mission editing without all of those and add them in when the missions basics are down.

but thanx for pm Icebreakr and will be hanging out for this baby.

I think seperating them would be a good idea for updates, who wants to download the whole thing over again when only the units have been updated or vice versa.

[Raserisk]

Could the special unit be the Slayer's spaceship? Or something else entirely. Can't wait to have a full on Human vs Predator war
