Isla Duala

[neven 14]

Thanks for the quick reply!

Why would u require one island for a mission on another? :)

My thoughts exactly. We're gonna use a different class of soldiers. Though we were also using the MIGs too from Isla. :( We're still learning, so our plan is to not require any mods really, (except for ACE). Though if need be, we may want to use a soldier class. For the story line in the mission, it makes sense to use the Molation.

I'm glad you like Lingor, try repalcing brg_africa.pbo from Duala 1.95 in @lingor\addons, so that AI in the thick foliage won't be in serious advantage anymore ;)

Hey thanks for the heads up on that! They constantly are kickin' my assssss. :D

I tried to download "isladuala_island_v195_lite.7z" from your site but the file is corrupted(yes, I tried to download it multiple times), could you please check it ?

Thanks. :)

whos DFOR? says they are friendly forces on the notepad

[sweguy96 10]

DFOR = Duala Force, maybe? Like KFOR in Kosovo.

Hi Ice,

congrats for great update!

Unfortunately when I take AH-1z for a flight over duala I found a little bug. He is missing agm hellfire. I checked it several times and problem disappears when I turn off the duala mod. Anyone else have this problem? My mods collide with each other or is it duala-addon bug?

EDIT: Hmmm strange... I downloaded map again and now everything works correct :)

good point, but UN forces are on the page already

unless its a NATO thing

[icebreakr 3157]

Ask Noricum about DFOR ;)

e0s888: *gulp*... can someone confirm that issue? I would need to release a hotfix or in that case v1.96. Problem is that I'm on vacation (island research lol) for a week starting this Monday ;)

[derdoe 10]

I tested the new version with several Cobras with ACE, ACEX and there were no issues with Hellfires missing, didnt test without ACE though.

Hrhr... DFOR = TFOR duala conversion (Mission by bon_inf)

Love the new update! Good work as usual, icebreakr.

Especially love the new bridges!

Sure will do some missions around them.

_North = [268655,268660,268653,268650,268649,268651,268763];
_South = [269190,269187,269185,269184,269186,269193,269192];
{ ([0,0,0] nearestObject _x) setDammage 1; } forEach _North;

nearestObject IDs for them, if anybody is interested. ;)

Thanks for the update Icebreakr.

I am having one small issue. I am using vanilla arma2 (1.09), and I have installed the new 1.95 Isle Duala, but the Zetaborn units still dont work for me.

I get the message "Zetaborn requires version 1.5 of application..."

[icebreakr 3157]

Funkman: check that you don't have zetaborn.pbo placed somewhere else? New version should work with 1.0...

I'm taking a week leave (island research *hint) so I see you guys in a week.

[Funkman 10]

Thanks Icebreakr, I double checked everything and the Duala folder had extracted to the wrong place. It now works like a charm.

Thanks again.

eggBeast, do I just place the .pbo file in the folder? Is that all I have to do to get the Evolution campaign?

Nice video. :)

The GITSEvolutionSomalia_RACSV2.isladuala.pbo goes into your MPmissions folder, all other addons you need (see eggbeasts link) go into a modfolder you have to add for yourself.

Incase you dunno how to setup modfolders: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/modfolders

[Funkman 10]

Oh, so there's no SP campaign?

[-)rStrangelove 0]

Evolution is a capture the island (CTI) MP mission which can be played for days if need be.

It's not a campaign.

Also, any MP mission can be played as a SP version if you just open a MP LAN session for yourself and start up the mission.

few problems with the zetaborn right now:

- pulse rifles are extremely inaccurate, dunno if this was deliberate or not but shots go extremely wide even though my crosshairs are dead on target

- tanks function well but flip very easily, most zetaborn tanks are not lost to enemy fire but flip over at high speed, also the heavy tank could use a damage boost as it cannot stand up to the M1

- 07 and 09 spaceships dont seem to be able to fly Ai controllled and crash almost immediately, mothership works fine though

more of a suggestion than a concern but the zetaborn red tracers are too easily confused when fighting NATO troops, perhaps make then yellow or blue? also i personally think the X09 would work better as a plane than a heli could recreate some ID4 dogfights if the aliens had fighters of their own.

- added two small concrete parking spots for planes on scramble alert

What is it exactly? Where are they located?

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

:D My suggestion actually. All it is is a small piece of concrete at the end of the runway, on both of the major airports. Essentially a place to park 2 fighters where they wouldn't be in the way of any landing aircraft, and where they can take off immediately after starting their engines. If I ever get off my arse I might have something to spruce the pads up a little bit...

we keep the AC130 there so it's out of the way but ready to take off using the full runway - a very useful apron addition - cheers!

drop into our squad area to chat about the mission funk - we can sort you out

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

Most air force bases in the U.S. have them AFAIK, here's an example from a reserve base in SoCal.

^ That's what prompted me to suggest it in the first place.

I haven't had much time this past week, but I'm trying to create a "living" Duala. The aim is for the player to be able to drive around and just be a spectator to the happenings on the island. So far I'm focused on setting up the drug smuggling den on that SW island. Vixena? Can't recall the name of it. I could drive (not even play) around Duala for hours. It's simply fantastic.
