.kju 3245 Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) IMPORTANT: Upload to Steam workshop is not allowed! Only CUP will be in the future when ready. ============================= = Note: This project is no longer maintained! = ============================= For details read this post. --- ============================= = What is 'All in Arma Standalone' = ============================= It allows you to use all the content of the other Arma games in Arma 3 - namely Arma 1, Arma 2, Operation Arrowhead and DLCs. From terrains to weapons, vehicles, missions and eventually infantry - all your beloved Arma content available inside Arma 3. AiA SA serves as an unified base for mission designers as well as for multiplayer to allow everyone to easily join servers. It also makes it possible to use community made content from previous Arma products in Arma 3 (except infantry). ============== = Promo videos = ============== Trailer by EvroMalarkey Call for your vote by ChrzRw79 ============== = Current state = ============== By default all A1/A2/OA infantry units use A3 models. The AiA SA High Quality pack offers replacements based on community made mods. In the future Community Upgrade Project should provide quality ports of the A1/A2/OA infantry directly. Tanks and cars are missing most engine sounds and tanks easily flip over. Only BI can sort these out. Aside from those the rest works basically. There are still plenty of smaller to bigger problems. All A2/OA worlds are using the Stratis lighting and sky configuration tweaked by Fabio_Chavez. Further tweaks to come. Basic A1 terrain support is available, as well as an A1 to A2/OA classes mapping - in other words A1 missions and campaigns should be somewhat playable. A2/OA/DLC scenarios are present and are mostly well playable. The campaigns from BI itself while present are mostly completely broken, so is Warfare. =========================== = Differences to old AiA version = =========================== A1/A2/OA no longer required However 13 GB download instead (download time calculator) OA DLCs are included Simplifed the installtion and modline a huge deal - just one modfolder A2/OA infantry models no longer supported (until BI fixes the compatibility issues) TKOH is no longer supported for now - however will be back eventually Less rpt spam - goal is to get to zero Ponds removed by default Buildings and misc pbos from A1 and A2 merged by default New: Integration of ported weapons, infantry and vehicles from the Community Upgrade Project No waterline bug on most custom terrains (ponds are removed completely as BI has no solution) Preview images in terrain selection New A3 tech lighting and street lamps Adjusted object penetration and impact effects Dust from infantry and vehicle movement Correctly falling walls More organic landscape textures for Chernarus Improved A1 and A2 buildings (WIP) Improved Chernarus grass/clutter (WIP) Undersea life Falling tree sound ======================== = Planned for future updates = ======================== Terrain specific lighting (partially done) Further improve terrain surface settings Integration of upgraded and improved OA buildings by M1lkm8n, SmokeDog, CiforDayZServer (Nonov) and James Integration of SMD Sharani itself by M1lkm8n and CiforDayZServer (Nonov) Underwater vegetation Integration of MAP Editorupgrade (EU) by Lester Integration of Arma 1 Vegetation Fix by durg78 Integration of Summervegetation by Beton Integration of Lowplants by Kegetys Integration of GDT Mod Grass by HeinBloed or improved clutter/grass for Chernarus, Utes and other A1 terrains Improved clutter/grass for Sahrani and other A1 terrains Autumn version by Przemek_kondor as replacement for A1 vegetation Dry version by McNools as replacement for A1 vegetation Summer version as replacement for A2 vegetation Improved A1 and A2 vegetation models All four seasons for BI A1+A2 terrains/vegetation eventually ========================== = Credits and special thanks to = ========================== Karel Mořický Preview images in terrain selection for most BI terrains Fabio_Chavez (screenshots, more screenshots, videos) Improved terrain lighting Special Chernarus terrain lighting Special Chernarus water and underwater coloring A3 style grass in Chernarus Special desert terrain lighting Tierprot Updated penetration definitions to A3 standards Reyhard (A2 Island Fixes) Vehicle dust Lights at night A3 penetration & particles effects Falling walls Railways & pavements have physx geometry Fixed powerwires strange collapse Added penetration materials to few buildings Fixed white tree bug on Bystrica Fixed indestructible gates soju Surface settings including friction Correct impacts for surfaces Mix of A3 and A2 environment effects Small box in the upper left while playing caused by ACRE(1) removed EvroMalarkey Preview images in terrain selection for the most BI A1 terrains Picolly (LandTex) More organic landscape textures for Chernarus M1lkm8n, Bad Benson, and CiforDayZServer (SMD Sharani) Improved A1 buildings Pansyfaust Improved A2 cementworks buildings (penetration, fire geometry, working lamps, transparent and breakable windows) Improved A2 road signs (higher detailed A3 road sign models and higher quality textures) Improved A2 Revised Lamps (lighting, destruction) Improved NAV Lighthouses (lighting, flare, timing) Improved Stoplights (lighting) =========== = Changelog = =========== 2014-04-06 ---------- Changed: Improve anti roll over system for tanks.

A: No. AiA TP is part of AiA SA. Q: Does it need any other mods? / Do I need the older games installed to use this? Like with AiA? A: No - this mod is completely standalone. Q: Can I use missions from A3MP with AiA SA? A: Yes. No changes needed. More details: Both use the same class names; as such the terrain extensions and mission names are the same. Q: Can I use missions from A1/A2/OA with AiA SA? A: In general yes. However you may have to adjust to some script changes or different AI behavior. Download --- Q: Where is the download from PWS? Why does PWS not have the most recent version? A: Please have some patience. It will be available sooner than later. Q: Why does download with SIX Updater not work? A: SU has been discontinued at the start of this year. Please switch to Play withSIX and shared collections. Otherwise contact the withSIX support. Q: The download from Mega does not work or the download gets corrupted. A: Please try a different browse in the most recent version like Chrome. If this doesn't help, please use one of the download alternatives. Q: The torrent is giving me low speed. A: Probably your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is slowing down peer-to-peer traffic. Get another ISP ;-) or use one of the download alternatives please. Q: Please use the service X/Y/Z to host the releases. A: I have tried various. However the sheer size and traffic left me only with these services. Issues --- General advice: Report issues and see howTo first. Q: I am getting crashes - what to do? A: Please report them at the A3 feedback tracker. Read their HowTo on crashes first. Q: I am getting crashes when switching terrains. Please vote to get BI to fix it: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=20427. Q: For some terrains the satellite texture is bugged. A: Please vote to get BI to fix it: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=15629. Q: The community made terrain X/Y/Z still has the waterline bug. A: Please vote to get BI to fix it: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=15579. AiA SA removes the ponds by replacing them with dummy objects. However some community made terrains use custom pond objects in their own object packs/pbos. Q: Does the vegetation block the AI's vision? A: For A2+OA terrains it should for the most part; however some improvements may still be done. For A1 terrains it still needs to be added. Q: A1 objects have shadow bugs or other issues. A: Please wait for the full SMD Sharani integration. Q: Why is the infinite terrain disabled? A: It causes A3 to crash. Please vote to get BI to fix it: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=9437 and http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=8973. Multiplayer / Servers --- Q: Can I mix the standard and LITE version (client/server)? A: Yes any combination works fine. Only make sure to have for both versions the keys on the server if you use the signature system. Q: Can you make all file names lowercase for Linux servers? A: Please use the tolower command/tool instead. One way to get it is to download the A2/OA Linux server package. On the windows side LupasRename is a simple and efficient tool to mass lowercase files and folders. General --- Q: Will the TKOH terrains be added at some point? A: So far it is not allowed. BI has to release the sources for it. Q: Will the OFP terrains from BI make an appearance? A: Maybe as part of OFPIP at some point. Yet for high quality versions CWR2 (terrains) would need to be ported to A3. Q: Why are there three different versions of Sahrani? A: The South and the United version only include the lower S/W part of Sahrani. They are part of the pack for mission and campaign compatibility, as well as the subtle differences and for performance reasons.

DieTU 10 Posted March 2, 2014 ;2635162']Play withSIX support is coming soon. It may also contain the feature to use found Arma games as base for the setup (=> way less data to download). As written above... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunter Severloh 4067 Posted March 3, 2014 :459: this is Awesome stuff kju! Nice work! One question, the addons and mods we can mostly use are units, weapons, vehicles, planes, and maps right? The gameplay addons and mods would have to be configured for arma3 to work correct or is there something in AIA that enables a mod specific to gameplay to work? For example Im talking about mods like COSLX, and ACE, and other mods similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t3quila 1 Posted March 3, 2014 kju! I love this however I suggest using btsync so that we can get the latest updates: http://www.bittorrent.com/sync/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evromalarkey 150 Posted March 3, 2014 Wow! Didn't see that coming! Congratulation on release! However 18gb it's a bit extreme, do you planning to release perhaps some Lite version? Only with terrains, vehicles and weapons? For example I would really like to use AiA in our MP community, but 18gb is a little much for everybody. Anyway keep up in good work, this looks very promising! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.kju 3245 Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) @ AngelWingGamingJacob Please send me your replacement config and links to required addons. @ Günter Severloh Complex mods like SLX/ACE won't work well without modification in A3, but give it a try. Gameplay addons should work for the most part. If not, the dependencies need to be adjusted to be loaded after A3 data (requiredAddons). A1/A2/OA infantry dont work as explained in the first post. @ t3quila Interesting suggesting - thanks! I've looked into it but I am somewhat doubtful. PWS is meant to be used mainly for patching/getting the latest AiA SA version. Not being open source is a bit of a downer, and it seems still too technical for the average user. Not in terms of the setup, but the process. Imagine you have an event going, and sync forces you to update basically. There are multiple of such undesirable situations that require good understanding how to use BT sync correctly. @ EvroMalarkey > SA serves as an unified base for mission designers as well as for multiplayer to allow everyone to easily join servers. That alone makes partial packs a bad idea. Also "terrains, vehicles and weapons" probably make 80-90% of the size. See post #1, #2 and #4 for size concerns. :) Edited March 3, 2014 by .kju [PvPscene] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kremator 1065 Posted March 3, 2014 kju, does this mean the other AiA thread, and Alduric's A3MP are now obsolete? Having one complete resource like this is perfect for mission makers. Let's hope the backward compatibility is implemented by BIS. Thanks for your hard work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cuel 25 Posted March 3, 2014 They're not obsolete - if you only want the islands you'd use A3MP? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.kju 3245 Posted March 3, 2014 @ Kremator The old AiA version will no longer be updated and is sorta obsolete yes. However for now it is still usable, has the TKOH support advantage for now, and saves one from the 18 GB download, if one has the games. A3MP is still usable for those are happy with just the terrains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alwarren 2767 Posted March 3, 2014 Great stuff, kju :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kremator 1065 Posted March 3, 2014 Thanks kju. Regarding the maps only, it would make sense (and I am not belittling any of Alrduric's hard work) to have only one unified mod. That way, this would cut down on the amount of mods needed. People may disagree, but I am thinking of the community at large. Thanks to ANYONE that has helped bring the rest of the Armaverse to Arma3 ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
memphisbelle 99 Posted March 3, 2014 Thanks alot kju. You did an amazing and important job there. Looking forward now to test and see how the A2 fits to the A3 environment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4067 Posted March 3, 2014 Question, looking at the list of files on the torrent download page http://gameupdates.org/details.php?id=5668 A you have it A1/A2/OA no longer required so what exactly are we downloading? use all the content of the other Arma games in Arma 3 So is this basically a port of the other games then?, im not getting exactly why buy arma1, aram2, or OA if this mod is available, it feels as if im redownloading 3 games I already have but now work in arma3. I'm wondering on the download page it says this: This torrent has multiple files, you can choose which file(s) to download in your BitTorrent client. To me just downloading anything you want is asking for trouble in terms of files needing other files, im thinking maybe create a list of core files that are needed and another list of optional files, maybe just divide the files and put them into a groups describing what they are from and then folks have a better idea of what they would rather download then downloading an entire mod with parts not wanted. Basically giving the user options, I would do it for you if you could provide the list of required files, then from there i can categorize the list, idk just an idea im throwing out there. The option at least would provide the user with less to download if they knew what files were for what. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.kju 3245 Posted March 3, 2014 @ Günter Severloh It is not that hard, is it? No one is telling you to buy A1/A2/OA. How do you get that idea? If you want play A1/A2/OA itself, you still need to buy them or own them. AiA SA only adds the content to A3 as stated. Got it? If you already have one/some/all of the games, wait for PWS support to download way less as stated in #1, #2 and #4. The info message about multiple files is a standard info message of their page. There are no optional files. It says standalone in the mod name. It is not to split up and there will be no split up version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gvse 10 Posted March 3, 2014 thanks for the update and for your continued support. I understand that after installing the mod I can uninstall A2/OA games as long as I only play A3, correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snottus 1 Posted March 3, 2014 Great work with AiA and AiA SA! So a quick question regarding flight models and physX - do you use the A1/A2 flight models and vehicle physics, or do you plan on upgrading the vehicles to A3? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
