Hey,

I’ve been playing on Lingor for some time now and have noticed a few bugs. I hope these haven’t been reported yet.

There are some trees growing inside houses east of Corazon. http://i.imgur.com/JSHUA.png

ARL units will appear as western units on the map (blue icons) if you do not have full information about them. ARL units don’t have radios but I am not sure if this is intentional. The ARL Saboteur is armed with a silenced micro Uzi and a silenced Makarov. However, if you switch to the Makarov the weapon model won’t change.

Venator PMC units lack radios. The Venator Escortman (SA58V) has 3 M203 HE rounds but his weapon has no grenade launcher. The Venator Machine Gunner (M60A4) has a Glock 17 pistol but no magazines for it.

When you switch to your pistol as either of the cyborgs the pistol is visible in first person but not in 3rd. This also applies to non-player controlled cyborgs.

I still accept requests from mission makers to:

- maybe add something

- change a place that you don't like

- renew a place that feels a bit strange

Maybe add some larger enterable buildings at the research lab. I think the coast to the South West of the island looks a bit strange.

If you are thinking of adding some new weapons I would suggest talking to RobertHammer and asking if you can incorporate some weapons from his packs. Namely: Uzi, Mac10, M14, M21 and P90 (for Venator units).

I have edited someone’s (forgot who, sorry) Lingor Insurgency mission too. You play as GAL soldiers against ARL rebels who also have ChDKZ vehicles. At your HQ you have Bicycles, M240 & Mk19 armed HMMWVs and a UH1Y. You should have a MiG-21 for CAS (the text will say A10) but I haven’t tested this. There are more weapons to choose from and optional ambient modules. I’ve added a loading screen which increases the mission size but I liked it so I kept it in.

However, it has four major bugs:

Despite the fact that the HQ can be mobilised and re-deployed it will not shift the spawn point or the respawning vehicles. I suggest that you do not move the HQ and if you start at a bad spot then just restart the mission.

When joining Opfor the game will probably freeze. Although, they are playable, don’t join them. No idea how to fix this.

There are no hostile sectors on the North Eastern island.

Sometimes players get a negative score for killing enemies. Also, I suspect this is related, if enemy armoured vehicles are spawned they might not attack Blufor forces.

Hopefully somebody can correct these bugs.

I am looking forward to your update. Bridges will be great!

Isn't the Insurgency related bugs err related to the mission and not the Island?

The main issue I'd like to see resolved is the ability to have Lingor play nicely with other islands without affecting sea colour. eg If I start with lingor and mana fiji, then lingor will have bright blue tropical water. If I start with lingor and podagorsk, podagorsk gets the muddy brown water of lingor.

My only request is to expand the swamp area. Massively. I'm talking mega-mangroves.

There was an OFP island, whose names I now cannot remember, but the entire south east side was this awesome mangroved area... it also had traintracks in it...

That was Tonal island. Great map.

[CameronMcDonald 146]

Nah, it wasn't Tonal, this was a temperate-themed island, with a railway.

If it's not too late for 1.2, i'd like to see some flat areas in towns for placing Warfare camps and bunkers.

also, two very small islands far from anywhere else to place temporary respawns.

:bounce3:

You could probably just spawn a platform in the middle of the ocean and use that, although it's slightly tricky.

Finally figured out the Ancient Riddle on the Island, thank-you very much to Icebreakr for all the advice else I'd still be stuck on clue one ;)

Great island mate :)

I don't speak Spanish, so I got lost after a while.

[Andy Mcnab 10]

What size in the packed kind will be Lingor 1.2 Lite (only island and needed objects + civilians)?

[supergruntsb78 67]

I don't speak Spanish, so I got lost after a while.

same here :confused:

[Infam0us 10]

???

[icebreakr 3157]

Spanish language is not my field of expertise too, use what Infam0us said ;) part of the riddle.

[supergruntsb78 67]

you could have mentioned that before, like in a little riddle to use it :p

[icebreakr 3157]

Its amazing how a mission maker can improvise in game editor to get across high river ;)

tnx Noricum, that made my day ;)

p.s. at certain times some rivers are unpassible. Take that into consideration when making missions.

But I will fix that area in upcoming 1.2

[galzohar 31]

[BasileyOne 10]

Now let's see AI go over it :D

or just island cutscene/animation improvement to more teas'in state ? :-P

[supergruntsb78 67]

all i can say is :) (nice song btw :p )

[Lonestar 11]

We solved the riddle yesterday and we had a blast!

The island is gorgeous, even more with AToC now.

Thank you IceBreakr, you're an artist. :smile:

[scw1996 10]

How do I get the Ambient combat module working in arma 2 using the Lingor map with its Lingor units?

thanks in advance.

Reminds me of getting a taxi in Jamaica actually! I would say that it is truly immersive!
