Cold War Rearmed² : Demo 4

Recommended Posts

Running anything else? CA_ addons sounds like a missing or altered file in your game install.

Contest is over with no winners. :p

Please see the first post for the download link of "Drachenfels Island" - a tiny spot near the Malden Islands.

Background:

Last week we talked about stuff from the old days and someone mentioned Drachenfels, made by a back then rather unknown guy called Edge.

It seems that the island is not even available on the web anymore but I found it in my crates and so we decided to quickly port it to CWR² - just because we can and have nothing else to do (allegedly).

We hope you have some fun with it, CameronMcDonald surely will as we included a variant of his damn FlagfightGuns mission. :rofl:

If we should do so eventually, can you shoot it anyway? This might be the humane option since I fear it might be facing neglect from you once you get your hands on the beta.

Regards,

Hey, I'm new here, though I've been playing Arma2 for several years. I don't know if this is the spot for this or not, so move it if needed, I don't mean to repost if this has already been covered. I recently just downloaded CWR2 and was playing with it and found that there were a few sound irregularities. Most notably for the weapons already incorporated by BIS. When using weapons such as the M2 HMG, M60, PKM, and M249 I found the sounds new and amazing. But when the AI used them they used the same base sounds used by BIS. I usually play with multiple addons, that sometimes may conflict with each other, but I went back and tested it with the base Arma 2 w/ CBA, and CWR2. Same result. Is this an issue on my end or is this a bug?

Welcome aboard :)

Our weapons use all the same sound, no matter if fired by AI or not. Actually it's not even possible to define different sounds for AI and players. Using other Mods together with our Mod always can be a bit problematic though CBA should have no influence at all.

Possibly the mission was arming its soldiers with weapons that were not cwr2 weapons?

Technically you could.

There are firing modes that can be set so that they are only available to the AI. In those you could define different sounds.

Sadly, I'm not having much luck downloading the part 1 of 4 (the 3.5 GB item). Armaholic worked on it all day yesterday to no avail. The German site was projecting only 3hr DL time (instead of 8-9 with armaholic) but got stuck at 27%. The links to the download at the French and Armed Assault sites seem to be broken. Has anybody else successfully downloaded from these sites recently? Is it possible they have got "stale" or something?

ANTHROPOID: Those links still work. It's possible you had a connection hiccup that broke the download, which has happened to me before. If there is a torrent option for the latest beta I would recommend you take that as it is the most break-resistant means of downloading, though some hosts will let you pause/resume downloads on browsers that support that such as Mozilla Firefox. Sidebar, do you take your username from the operation that killed Reinhard Heydrich during WWII? If so, well done.

Have you tried to disable your anti virus. I was in trouble downloading VTE 2,4 GB. after 480 MB the download stopped. After several failed tries and retries I disabled my AV program and was able to download the MOD without problem.

If this utorrent process doesn't work, I'll try loosening up the AV security a bit and see if that helps.

ADDIT: Success with utorrent. Now for the other chunks.

I too often have problems with downloading huge files, presume that it's AV here too since I never had any problems before switching to ESET.

Have you tried to use a download manager already? I use either Free Download Manager or JDownloader for any large downloads.

New version of the mission package uploaded. See first post for link.

Most important update is the demo campaign which should have the missions fixed now. Also has some nifty cutscenes now.

Also all missions have now taskhints shown, no matter with what difficulty setting they are played with.

As always: if you find problems report them here, by PM or at our Bugtracker (preferred).

We also appreciate if you share your feedback about the missions with us: Were they too easy, or way too hard? Let us know, only this way we are able to make them enjoyable for everyone. Just thinking 'what a crap' and move on doesn't really help anyone. ;-)

Thanks Wolle. Utorrent took care of it for me.

I seem to recall having a questionable experience with a 'free' torrent application in the past so I hadn't used one for a while; but another guy recommended utorrent and it seems to have functioned fine.

This is a fantastic mod guys!

Yeah the only thing with uTorrent is that you must be careful not to install any of the crap that comes with it. Other than that it's one of the best clients around.

Seem to have my new Comrades in Arms approved loadout setup and ready for Sunday's coop, except for one small glitch. I get the following error once I'm loaded into the Main Menu. Probably a simple matter to fix:

Cannot open object

cwr2\general\cwr2.signs\cwr2_sig_barmenu2.p3d

Might even be a non-issue with respect to impacting game play? In case it is useful to help me diagnose it (and because I'm so proud of having got this many new mods to play together!) my mod list:

Arma2

Arma2 OA

BAF (Lite)

PMC (Lite)

Blastcore WarFX

RH Pistol

RH Smg

CWR2

CBA

CBA_A2

CBA_OA

RUG DSAI (Dynamic Sound AI)

TPWCAS (Suppressive Fire)

JSRS (Jarhead's sound mod)

CoWar (just a bare minimum version of it with lots of the somewhat more conflictual stuff removed)

GDT Grass mod

Thirsk island

Kuik Winter camos

Mk4 HUD

True User
