All in Arma Standalone (AiA SA) - A1/A2/OA content in A3

[.kju 3244]

@ RX8Toxic

AiA SA does not use "CUP units" - they are just dummy classes anyway.

AiA SA units use CUP weapons by default now.

Check the CUP thread for docu on classes.

Hi, is there a chance you will include the Phantom or the Tornado for AiA?

Please help:bored: This happens to all maps.

I know it's not too ontopic, but I wanted to download AiA SA from Mega yesterday. It show 78% but finally stop and no more percent. I had some business, so I just close the browser, because I found Mega didn't download anything to my PC. Now I wanted download again (from the begining) but Mega just show "starting" and never start counter.

I try to download something else from Mega but it said an error message "getFile error"...

Can anybody explain how Mega works? Is it download somewhere 11 GB to somewhere yesterday and now it want to continue, but it can't?

How can I reset Mega to download AiA SA again or any other file? If there are somewhere a 11GB junk file, how can I delete it?

Edit:

I found a 9GB file under the Chrome folder. It's probably that. Can somehow force Mega to continue, or can I just delete this file?

@ bardosy

Maybe try to install their browser extension.

Otherwise try to google for it.

Sorry, this turned out to be a conflict of addons, I'm busy reconnect addons to identify the conflict. Thank you for AiA - looks perfectly!!! :inlove:

[DaViSFiT 21]

Ehm i got the october version and now i put the 07.01. hotfix update over it, is this correct? having 494 files in the addon folder? Hope so, this full to patch to hotfix with all over the place different dates and names confuses. Would be cool to have a "Full Update" everytime there is a fix or whatever.

I now have big problems with the serverkey/bisign files. Server dont load up, if i delete the serverkey AiA_TP_2015_01_01.bikey the server run, with it it crash. :( Someone with the same problem?

=============================

= Note: This project is no longer maintained! =

=============================

tl'dr

Unfortunately I have to announce the end of development and support on my behalf

for all AiA projects. If someone wants to take over, contact me/go for it (APL SA).

Reasons

I want to briefly outline the reasons in the following - mainly to give insights

to those donated money to me to get to understand the decision and situation, as

well as to those who care about the project and want to know what's going on.

For more context and background check this and that post.

In short it is simply financially not viable to continue - the various projects

(working for BI (A3 Rearmed, DayZ SA), SIX networks (withSIX), the different AiA

versions, Iron Front in Arma 2/3) were an attempt to fund the development of a

complex game mode for Arma 3.

Sadly all these attempts have been unsuccessful - by large margin. It was not even

enough to sustain the work on these projects, let alone to generate a surplus of

money to cross-finance the game mode. So I have no choice but to stop.

More details for those interested:

• The effort behind all this is massive - even my deep insights into arma modding,
  my professional software engineering background, partial automation and use of
  advanced tools it still takes lots and lots of hours.
  While the modding alone takes much time due to the sub-bar level of the arma engine
  and tool set in regards to modding, there is also testing, release management, lots of
  user assistance, support and team communication.
  This is work for a regular full-time day job, which it has been for me for several
  months; or actually something for a team of people/professional company with paid
  staff.
  

• Unfortunately there was just limited progress at the end of the year.
  The background here is I invested almost two months to assist the CUP team to
  get the first release out, trying to improve the collaborative setup for the team
  and to handle all the inquiries to join the project after Dslyecxi's promo video -
  meaning lots of 1-to-1 communication.
  As side note sadly not much has come out of this - partially due lack of leadership,
  giving people instructions or work to be done, yet overall its very challenging to
  find dedicated people..
  

• With BI shifting priorities during A3 development and as a result no longer improving
  backwards compatibility of the engine and the work on A3 Rearmed getting stopped,
  it made it very hard to make AiA an usable platform.
  As we can see over a year later since the source model release, its a very time
  intensive progress with only very few people up for the challenge (major kudos to
  Reyhard, Alwarren, Varanon, Chairborne and a few others).
  Sadly even despite fairly popular support BI could not get convinced to put
  more resources into improving backwards compatibility of the engine. At least
  much thanks to Dwarden and pettka trying their best!
  

• Donations and patreon didn't work out - you can read more about the outcome here.
  

• To do is a hobby is not longer viable for me - I have been modding ofp and
  arma for almost ten years; like many others, I have put many many thousands of
  hours into promoting, playing, modding to improve this game and environment
  around it.
  With one difference - most people have moved on or have given up a long time ago.
  Only very few people remain by now - their dedication, skills, sharing and work
  is essential to this community. With more and more stopping the impact will be
  felt (actually is for quite some time if one looks closely or talks to people
  outside this forum..).
  Arma is just too much of an obscure and poor environment for modding (official
  tools, workflow, custom scripting language, engine limitations, etc) and the lack
  of backwards compatibility in A3 that makes most of the previous community made
  content obsolete or very labersome and tedious to port over. It seems most
  people have not realized these effects, or have accepted to what is available
  or the old crowd are no longer playing anyway..
  For me personally I haven't been playing Arma for over 3 years, except for a short
  time in some competitions during A3 alpha.
  This is mainly due to my arms injury and having to dedicate computer time to
  modding over playing, yet also as the PvP scene broke down finally completely
  after A3 alpha and my team, as well as many others, are not happy with the A3
  gameplay and performance..
  

Future of the projects

So what does this mean for the AiA projects - basically there are these options:

• As all projects are open source and APL SA someone else could take over.
  The complexity, scale and overall effort makes this quite a challenge though.
  In case someone is really up for it, I will try to upload all my WIP data to shared host.
  

• Eventually AiA might get superseded by CUP (or other projects) and become obsolete.
  

• AiA goes into hibernation eventually going defunct by one of the patches from BI
  (unless someone else makes a third party fix).
  

Donations

On a separate note I want to thank sincerely everyone having contributed via

Patreon or PayPal!

Unfortunately it didn't work out in the end, yet I hope you are happy with what

I was able to achieve. Again my full appreciation to your support!

Personal future

I will keep this very brief.

1. CUP
   The current plan is to support them still until the end of the month to ensure
   a smooth transition.
   .
   
2. IFA3
   Unless BI, X1 and DS get their act together to make a DLC for A3 possible,
   I will only be able to assist the IFA3 team by building the patches; other than
   that they are on their own from now on.
   .
   
3. Game mode
   In case I still find a way to fund the development, I might give it a final try.
   .
   
4. Arma modding
   Aside from the above my time with arma has come to a close. Good times, bad times.
   Time for the next chapter.
   

Acknowledgment

Thank you everyone who assisted me with the projects the past years and showed

his/her appreciation!

[serjames 357]

Very sad to read :(

[hannibal2210 1]

Very sad indeed to read through this, I hope all of your hard work and commitment to these projects does not go under-appreciated as they have been essential blocks of the modding community and for Arma's ongoing development.

Thank you for all you have done so far with AiA and the CUP

[1212PDMCDMPPM 200]

Thx for AiA !

Without it, I would have quited A3 a long time ago.

I wish you all the best for your future project, whatever it is.
