1985 Nostalgia XMAS atmosphere ArmA2+CWR2 Domination for Winter Kolgujev and Malden

[csla]zerxen2 · May 17, 2011

With finally a little free time I dig up my last year effort and extended my XMAS domination mission collection for some new tweaks and most importantly a complete XMAS themed Winter Kolgujev domination mission with CWR2 mod (and it's fantastic winter units). It is just a little enjoyment that I put together for our (me + two friends) for our LAN server, but would like to share if maybe someone else will like it as well during the holidays ;)

PS: I know that I am still using older Xeno's Domination 2.6 version, but is is right now scripted/tweaked by me to a point when I would not had the time to port it all to a higher version in time before holidays, but I think the feature below make up for it (and I manually scripted some of Xeno's higher version features manually myself like the optional avoidance of satchel charges only radio tower damage).

Christmas/Winter centric features:

Permanent SNOW FALL + FOG during the mission to have a deep atmosphere + in Malden also custom environment sounds, that is why the file is a bit bigger.
All CWR2 infantry units are using Winter camouflage (see pictures below, great work from CWR2 mod team to release this)
There are Christmas presents under a tree for your team, but be careful, if you fail to protect some girls in the base, you will loose the presents.
Custom Christmas carol music in intro + if you enter the Christmas party house.

Plus all the features that exist from the main project of my custom ArmA2 Domination Malden mission:

CWR (Cold War Rearmed) Mod setting creating the best nostalgia atmosphere for the old Operation Flashpoint 1 from 2000 (now called ArmA: Cold War Crisis).
Integrated zorilyaâ€™s Garrison Script 1.5.2 to have even better in buildings town battles.
New selectable mission parameter allowing you to have choose if you want radio towers destroyable not only by satchels, but by anything. Enabling anything to destroy them hides their map marker so that at least you have to find them and not only point an artillery on them.
New selectable mission parameter allowing you to have ArmA2 rifles available (including Javelin), by default it is off as this is still 1985 CWR2 and I want this mission to be primary still good old 1985 CWR2 and no any modern warfare toys playfield, but if someone wants to have some fun change, it is available for you. No Arrowhead weapons btw as desert skins are definitely out of touch with Malden.
Created and added OFP/CWR2 soundtrack player to the â€œStatus Dialogâ€, when activated the original OFP 16 track playlist is played in random order indefinitely to get the best OFP 1985 atmosphere in coop. (NOTE: Find â€œMusic ONâ€/â€Music OFFâ€ buttons in "show status" menu)

REMARK: I advise to try first with the default mission parameters I set as defaults. Malden mission with start time during night, Kolgujev start during day. Also with main target illumination turned off by default to get the snow terrain of Kolgujev a chance to help you in the night.
