All in Arma (AiA) - TKOH/OA/A2/A1 merge with A3

[disco.modder 116]

;2589483']Not really. Due to BI changes there is way too much broken in ACE unfortunately.

Im curious, which particular changes dramatically effect ACE's functionality? Im guessing the inventory system is one.

Missing folder names on Campaigns/Scenarios, is this a common issue and will it be fixed up at some point?

[MANTIA 55]

Problem using A2 units in game. A3 units are working correctly.

I don't have a AiA_DisableA3Content.pbo and I never removed the AiA_DisableA3Content.pbo? from looking through the threads I understand that this should have been in AllInArma by default?

Hello BI Community. I'm new to the whole modding side of ARMA. I actually usually stayed in Campaign and Scenario's on ARMA 2 and AO until ARMA 3 showed up and made me enjoy the editor, multiplayer, campaign, etc. Then I found AiA. Although I have a question which has probably been asked so many times it's ridiculous, but I was still wondering. If I put an ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead Scenario into the ARMA 3 Mission folder, then loaded it up inside the ARMA 3 game, would it work? All times I've tried I've been met with sad, bitter defeat when they failed. So until .kju starts (hopefully) working on the Standalone of this amazing mod (Seriously, editor is fun enough for me XD), is there any way to make Scenarios work?

Is the issue that ARMA 2 units will not show up at all? Because that is caused by not going into AiA -> Core -> Addons. Then (preferably cutting and pasting it somewhere else) getting rid of "AiA_ActivateA3Models.pbo"

Any idea what this error might be with namman2's Caiman MRAP?

Works fine in A2, but this error pops up when used with AiA in A3.

Kju us it possible to add lights to cities in all arma 2 vanilla maps?

[.kju 3244]

I would know how I would - BI needs to release documentation finally on lighting..

[VodkaAssassin 10]

Hey .kju, have you decided which type you will persue? Standalone or the other options?

[SeeRed15 10]

I was just thinking, Arma 3 doesn't work too great on my lower end computer, so how hard would it be to port Altis and Arma 3 into Arma 2?? If it's even possible...

[eymerich 11]

@Kju.

first of all, thank you very much for your hard work.

Just a consideration: I have noticed that chernarus has gone pretty unplayable to me because of stutter and lag (especially when Flying over forest).

I don't thing it's related to AiA since the first release of AiA were much more enjoyable to me (less lag in chernarus). My guess is that this is related to the graphic effect added in the time by Bis.

Am I wrong?

Nobody is going to do any backwards porting.

After posting in the A3Map pack thread, I began a conversation about porting other maps using AIA. Many people probably wonder if you can play other maps and yes you can, there have been some people I've read have done this.

My personal findings so far were:

Clafghan

Esbekistan --------bugged by a black line across screen

FATA --------bugged by a black line across screen

Sangin desert/winter

Anyone else care to share what they have managed to use aswell using AIA??

If you are wondering how to do this, use PW6 and make a collection and add the maps to that collection and load the game. Proabaly best doing it without a heaps of addons like units etc, because the load time can take some time.

I think that relates to the infamous "pond error" but I could be wrong.

Another trick in PWS is just make a collection for each map... @CBA_A3, @AiA, @Clafghan. Reduces load time and lets you easily keep different mods like units separate for each.

[spookygnu 563]

yeah good point on the load time thing! I'll do that!

the "pond bug" has been fixed, but you need to do some work yourself. You will find detailed instructions in the text file "Remove problematic ponds" in this location: @AllInArma\A2OAPondFix.

I confirm that e.g. Thirsk and Caribou work without any errors while previously I'd get the disturbing floating pond bug on these maps.

[spookygnu 563]

i'll have a look at them then.

First I need to figure out where that bloody tool ends up in my pc (mikero's extractPbo). I got it last night and the bloody things installed and disappeared.

[gvse 10]

on my system (win7 64bit) the installers put everything in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mikero\DePboTools\bin

Once you set all the paths in the bat it's not enough to just "run it as administrator," as i had to simply click "open." Then it does its work and the process takes up to a few minutes. Good luck!

@kju:

Ive just realized that AI do not occupy buildings (e.g. the A2 large industrial shed), and when I point point the cursor at buildings I do not get the option to send my AI teammates inside the structures. To be clear: the same structures are fully enter-able in A2. Is it another limitation of AiA or some conflict on my end?

How can i use A2 units on AIA? i downloaded 0.20 in Play with six but i cannot use A2 units, when i select them appears an Arma 3 unit, an i don't want to place them together i want to make a mission using TF86 Seals with Arma 3, or the USMC Arma 2 units

[zach72 1]

@Ckrauslo

read the first post and follow the link to the wiki.

by default A3 units are enabled. You can't have both so to get A2 units you need to change stuff.

[Ckrauslo 12]

Thanks...

How do i manage to use weapons after doing this? now he doesn't use any weapons, not even Arma 2 weapons, and when i place in the editor an Arma 2 Weapons Crate he can't get the weapons from it

@Ckrauslo

Don't use dev branch.

[nozkin 10]

Hi, I'm having a small problem when I install a new map. If I install (using PWS) any other old map and then I save a mission, I can no longer load that save, even if I made the save after installing the new map. I get the same result even on Altis and Stratis. The game loads fine, but when I actually get into the mission after loading it tells me mission complete. I'm not using any other mods. Any idea what's causing this?

[Tike 10]

Is it possible to use Arma2 Mods? If yes, how?

Edited January 9, 2014 by Tike

[pulstar 55]

I think that depends on the mods themselves. Try adding the (full) path to the mod's folder in the commandline for AiA shortcut

[Ckrauslo 12]

@.kju i don't even know what dev branch is man
