This map = Taviana - Anyone know where I can get it for A2 OA ??? )

Recommended Posts

Hi there I downloaded a Taviana Map but it say "do not use for A2 OA "...

 

This one:

 

http://ftp.armedassault.info.jerryhopper.com/armaholic/arma2/arma2_files_addons_islands/Taviana_Island_v1.0.rar

 

So I did use it and it crashed Arma 2 OA. Right downto the desk top... wow.

 

Any help ?

 

Cheers !

 

George.

Taviana is for ArmA 2 Standalone or ArmA 2 Combined Operations, if you run it in ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead Standalone, it doesn't work.
 

 

 

Hmm... that can't be right as I was playing DayZ on ArmA 2 OA back in the day.... in Taviana.  so yeah... dunno what is up there.

It's like that because the creator of the island explains it clearly, that's why I left the link there for you to read it for yourself, and to clear up your doubts, even if you've played DZ with OA on that island, you've surely followed one of those tutorials that DZ fans make, like pasting the A2 Standalone addons folder into the root folder of OA, it's something very common that DZ fans do.


So you probably pasted the folder and that's why it worked, because you had the A2 Standalone content inside OA.
 

 

I did read the first page of the linked thread. 

 

So you can't run this map on A2 OA, but you can.  ?  We played Dayz Taviana on A2 OA... regardless of how we did it this was a thing.

We can still do this?

 

What the heck is ArmA 2 Standalone ?

 

Fun !

@George_Smiley  

It seems you have not understood anything...

The map was created to work only in ArmA2 Standalone, the old ArmA2

"ArmA2 Standalone" this:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/33900/Arma_2/


This is ArmA 2 OA
https://store.steampowered.com/app/33930/Arma_2_Operation_Arrowhead/
 

But it works with Combined Operations, which would be ArmA 2 Standalone + ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead = ArmA 2 Combined Operations

And why does it not work in ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead if you do not also have ArmA 2 Standalone? Simple, because A2 standalone has objects, houses, etc, that this map uses.

How would it work if you only had ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead, doing what I explained to you before, those who play DZ cut and paste the ArmA 2 Standalone addons folder into the A2 OA folder to have all the content of ArmA 2 Standalone.

I can't be more specific than that, because if I do, I'll be penalized. It's something illegal that those who play DZ do, because they only buy A2 OA and obviously they don't buy ArmA 2 Standalone.

And to be more clear, you can't have ArmA2 Combined Operations if you haven't bought ArmA 2 Standalone and ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead. If you have Combined Operations and you only have one of the above mentioned, you've done something illegal.

 

Oh you are just talking about ArmA 2.  The "standalone" bit was strange.  I never paid any attention to the silly names they give  "sets" of titles ( combined arms, combined operations etc..)

 

I'm totally 100% legal.  Do own both A2 and A2 OA ... gave BI my hard earned cash.

I thought it was a very good from the start. Blew my tiny mind...

 

Right then, fiddle around and things might work. neat.

 

Cheers.

 

George.
