Missions & their solution

[JackintheBox]

A long time ago R@S gave me a good solution to this mission.

When you arrive in the city, kill the armed civillians(saiga shotguns),
those are his buddys.
Then just let time advance while on the map screen and you will get a battle note when he enters the sector. Just waste him then.
Its kind of a work around, but the mission is coded shoddy to begin with and just a pain to complete like the devs wanted you to.

How do i start the main mission? I've talked to the guy near the hotel, but nobody seems to know where the target is at. The only person with a mission is Loyd, do I have to accept it to get things rolling?

@freedom5515

you talked to the russian guy near the hotel?! then is the main mission started.
check you mission log

the mission you get from Loyd is an side quest. more side quests can you get in the bar if you talk to the bartender.

Second or third "Tang" mission, you're supposed to retrieve something from the mechanic Jose, is he/are they- all supposed to turn hostile sa soon as the item is turned over????

[the_Brain]

I think so. Otherwise it would be a bit too easy.

[Badbru]

Yeah true, but the last Jingo's mission was exactly that: go to this place, talk to the guy, come back and tell me what he said. Seemed like poor scripting to me. If you're supposed to have a fight there why aren't they hostile immediatly upon entry and you "retrieve" the item from the guys cold dead hand...

I just wanted to know it wasn't because I'd taken stuff from the boxes or entered a room I wasn't supposed to and didn't break the whole next chain of missions.

Badbru, coincidentally, I just finished the Jingo "Truce" mission today. I assume that's the "last Jingo mission" you're talking about in this thread, which seems to have changed topic a bit.

SPOILER ALERT! I've searched for how to hide spoiler text. No Joy. Can someone refresh my memory? In the meantime, I'll space the following text down so if someone doesn't want to know, they can avoid READING it.

POSSIBLE SPOILER:
The "peace negotiator" told us to come over to talk to him. I ignorned him in order to tactically depoying my mercs. Nothing happened while I was doing this. My mercs were able to walk around freely as long nobody got too close to the "peace negotiator". We even planted a few mines on approaches to our positions, where the Jings couldn't see me!

As soon as one of my mercs got within a few meters of the "negotiator", the Js went hostile. After the battle ended, I got the same instructions to report back to Billy Bob.
