Invasion 1944 Info Thread

Without question, the graphic effects of Armed Assaults will be very fantastic. Sure anyone who could play it will leave away from the games based on old engine after trying the new game for some time...

[Winters 1]

Hopefully it will be easy enough to port phase1 to ArmA without too much effort.

[OFPCAT 0]

Just a personal suggestion, please release the current stuff based on OFP right now even if the Mod hasn't been totally completed. I think it doesn't matter... We could fully understand that and appreciate all stuff to be released...

So you could fully concentrate on your Phase 2 game to be based on ArmAssault asap...

[JdB 151]

Do we HAVE to keep repeating ourselves

(Notice the missing "?")

"It will be released when it's done"

We also said a while ago:

"We are aiming for an OFP v1.96 release"

OFP v1.96 is still the most current BIS release.

[Winters 1]

Send me your best WWII mission

...either a singleplayer or a multiplayer co-op, and it will be tested by the team for inclusion in the mods release. Use only I44 demo units so i can easily convert your mission to use the current units.

Good Luck

[Winters 1]

I received a few PMs' regarding the missions so i thought i would clarify.

Only use I44 demo units/islands/objects and BIS stuff as well. The mission/missions that we like the best are going to be included in the phase 1 release with full credit given to the author/authors. I cannot accept any mission that would require the user to download additional addons for.

What's the point of having a mission that's not even made on your new island

[JdB 151]

What's the point of having a mission that's not even made on your new island

We have some MP missions on BIS islands too

They're well suited for WW2 era missions as they lack any signs of real technology except for some computers and other small objects.

There are 2 tank and 2 selfpropelled gun types available for the german side (you can use the demo Tiger for placeholder). As well as of course the 251 halftrack.

[Winters 1]

Because the other islands are fun to play on as well. not every mission (except for the campaign) will be on Oosterbeek. Suppose you wanted to do some mountain fighting? the new island wouldnt work for that, Kolgujev is the island i would use. Or maybe you want to fly around in C47? well the new island doesnt have an airbase because there wasnt one in that area but I44 sicily would allow you to do one.

If someone made a mission that wouldnt need to be on a specific island (patrol or mech infantry fight in the open) i can easliy put it on the new island if they wanted me to.

Winters, not sure whether you've made such commanding type of German APC in the current Mod ? If not, whether could you guys help me to config such vehicle? I made one based on your original demo pack for personal amusement but the cannon installed on the APC couldn't be fired... I have no idea how to fix it...

Yep, class it as a machinegun, that's basically it

[OFPCAT 0]

Many thanks, AtStWalker, that'll very helpful for me! I think I could even put rockets launcher for the vehicle now...

[AtStWalker 0]

nice to heard it OPFCAT

[belgerot 33]

So how are things? I hope there has been interest in the mission-making.

[Winters 1]

I've received several e-mails expressing intent to make missions.

[jarvo9 0]

Was just reading up on the operation and was wondering, will there be any other aircraft, along with the C-47, Horsa and Waco? Such as Tug planes for the gliders like US C-53 Skytrooper,Halifax,Albermarle or Stirling. Also any aircraft from the bombing berfore the operation? The Lancaster and Flying Fortress was used as well as multiple fighter/bomber escorts.

[JdB 151]

Making an entire fleet of aircraft for a 3 minute cutscene...

(hope you can "guess" the answer from the previous sentence )

Some information about Phase 2 will be revealed in the mini-interview we are having with [ArmedAssaultCenter] (content subject to possible change).

For a serious discussion of Invasion 1944, please visit our IRC channel @quakenet #inv44

[belgerot 33]

I'm really excited to hear that Phase 2 will be discussed more, looking forward to that mini-interview.

The only planes being included so far are the Dakotas and Gliders used by the 1st Paras'. Since ground combat is the emphasis for the campaign planes were not a priority with the exception of the transports.

That's cool m8, didn't mean to sound greedy. After reading about the operation in detail, it got me wanting to know more about your upcoming release.    So i started my own little mission about Lt. Gen. B.G. Harrocks XXX Corps executing ground operations out of Belgium and meeting stiff resistance before reaching Eindhoven.

1.Good luck

2.Little question:Will be there some WW2 civilians?In interview was only something about dutchs

[JdB 151]

Sadly we lack the immense professional gamestudio to recreate Europe entirely during the 2nd world war. We've been making Market Garden, which means that any civilians will be native people from the Netherlands, aka the Dutch.

We're using BIS civilians for that.

For german friends we translated this interview.
