~Jungle Strike
Tips and info.
Most of the following was found while playing the Demo Cd-Version
of Jungle Strike.Although it should be very useful to you in the
full version.
To destroy tanks. Fly around to its blind side and while it is
turning. Fly around it a few times in a 360 degree motion and while
you are right at the back of the tank and the tank still is only
turned 180 deg. Fire 3 hydras into it this will destroy it.
NOTE : Never take on a tank while head on, only do this if your
armour is at full strength and that you have rescued Roz.
The tanks rapid firing rate is very fast.And your firing rate will
only match it if you rescue Roz.
Also once you have rescued Roz in the first mission the firing rate
of all your weapons are increased.
For example :
Gun - The firing rate of your Gun gets VERY fast.
Missile - Instead of firing one missle when you press the fire button
it will fire four in a row!
Hydras - No noticable change to this except a slightly speed increase
in firing rate.
Always choose Roz. As your Winch Woman because she will enchance
your weapons (described above). I don't know about the rest.
~Another Fancy Manouver -
When you're fighting head to head against a tank and you are getting
heavily battered,
1.Hold the Down key for 10 seconds.
2.Press Down and right together this will actually turn you round 180
degrees.
3.Now hold up for about 12 seconds you will fly away from the tank
and out of its gun range.
Also the Helicopters in Jungle Strike look like the heli you flied
in Desert Strike. Were they leftovers from Desert Strike the
Americans forgot to destroy? We'll never know.
~A Landing Tip
~-------------
When you drop people off at the landing site.There is always a person
that shoots rockets at you.He will miss because your heli is on the
ground.
~General Problems Answered.
I play the Full CD-ROM version of the game. With a full install,but
the FMV is very jerky with 3-4 pauses between speech.I own a
486DX2 66MHZ,2X CD-ROM drive,4mb,Soundblaster V2.
Kevin Replies :
I had this problem with my second machine which has excatly same
spec as above.
On the box the game says it needs 2x Cd-Rom Drive,4mb ram with 3mb
free extended.The only way to solve this problem(I found) is to
copy the whole of the CD onto your hard drive.Remember the
game only takes up 275mb out of nearly 600mb of CD.So you only
need to copy 275mb to your hard drive.It is done by doing the
following routine.Please note below the hard drive is C and the
CD drive is D.Also make sure Smartdrive is loaded with the
CD-ROM caching Module loaded(it only takes up 2k of conventiona
l memory).Also I don't know where Jungle Strike is located on
the CD so I am assuming that it is in a the Jungle is only
directory on the CD(There one thing on the CD).Make sure
you are at D:\ prompt:
XCOPY D:\JUNGLE C:\JUNGLE /S /E
It will ask you if Jungle is File or Directory on the target.Press D
and now sit back and wait.Make yourself a cup of tea and a macroon
because this will take at least 10 minutes on my 486DX2 66mhz it only
took only 11 minutes.Once this is done.Reboot your computer to Unload
Smartdrive,setup sound for Jungle Strike and play it as usual.
The sound,FMV and music should play as normal with no stops.
The above solution is the one I found,there may be others,like
having a fragmented drive etc.
Viola!!
I keep running out of weapons!:
Kevin Replies : Blow the circular mine shaped cones litterd around
the playing area.These should reveal different iteams to either
help you on your way,eg:replenish your ammo,amour etc.Also when
you find Roz your rate of firing increases.This is described in
this file.
It gives me a Out of Memory error when I start the Game:
Kevin Replies : You need at least 573K of Conventional memory to run
the game and 3mb of Extended memory also to run the game.
I get a message Could not find Jungle.Dat whenever I start a new
campaign.
Kevin Replies : The problem lives within the Path File.Just type the
following: Path=C:\DOS;C:\JUNGLE;C:\WINDOWS.If you don't play the game
much and want to create a batch file that will do the above & start
the game for you.
Use the following configution:
Echo Jungle Strike Batch File
Path=c:\dos;c:\jungle;c:\windows
Jungle
Name the file j.bat instead of Jungle.bat this will shorten
the name and in the Jungle Strike directory instead of typing
jungle to start the game you just have to type in "J".
Scrolling is slow and doesn't seem to look smooth?
Kevin Replies : Well,I looked at your problem and seems that
Jungle Strike is like that.I can't do anything to stop it.
Even though Desert Strike had better scrolling.
The shadows are all weird colours!?
Kevin Gorasia : Another Bug I found in Jungle Strike.You don't
notice it too much on Jungle Terrian,but on other types of
terrain it looks pretty weird.
