[CameronMcDonald]

Looking forward to the next release of this mad island.

Excellent.

Within my gaming community we've been playing something of a campaign on Namalsk. We're about to start our third mission this month. The updates look VERY welcome and will certainly make a flavourful island only better!

Sumrak I love your Island. It's very atmospheric.

Did you fix problems with ambient sounds on other islands if Namalsk was turned on?

I'm modifiying your Poterya Pulsa (Pulse Loss or Losing Pulse in english), added saving system, respawn, JIP support, dynamic weather, a bit more staff were added etc). For me it is like visit card of Namalsk Island.

Thanks for report, It's because of really basic material I'm using there (on 90%), I have no idea why it is doing this I know about it, I already tried to fix it somehow, but, I was not successfull :/ And I don't want to remove this material completely, because it is doing its job well, underground is because of it much darker.
For now, solution is turning AA off (it seems, that this issue appearing since atoc update), I have to say, that I don't have this issue even with AA turned on (on my old 8600M GT).

Anyone else having problems with underground with AA turned on?

Great addon! I do however have problems with hand placed mutants on this map as they won't chase you. They simply stand still with the occasional walking animation while still in place.

Hi Sumrak - we've been playing Namalsk Crisis and loving it - you have made an incredibly atmospheric island and mission. We have run into a couple of bugs though that I wanted to mention:

1. On respawns or reloads the player who isn't hosting and is playing Peter (i.e. not Tamilka) get played the full intro piece for the level again no matter where you are, and with no way to skip it we are often killed in the 30 seconds or so that the intro is playing. Also for some reason on mission 6 when we respawned Peter and Tamilka appeared 5m in the air and were instantly injured. Also because you respawn exactly where you died you tend to die again immediately (especially as the intro is playing and you are unable to move). This makes it almost impossible to play with more than one player
2. (This might be intentional) At the beginning of each mission we lose the custom equipment we have recovered and are reset back to starting equipment, though injuries are persistent.

Other than that, we are loving the missions!

Could you add a fix so that Namalsk ambient sounds are only played on namalsk? Pretty annoying to hear all those windy noises when playing on another island.

e.g

if (toLower(worldName) == "namalsk") then {
//play ambient sounds
};
