Concept

Goal: demonstrate transferring content from Elite is possible and identify major areas which need to be covered when converting basic content types

What to do:

* Convert Desert island from OFP:Elite - Done

* Convert T55 from OFP:Elite - Done

Prototype

Goal: check transferring bigger and more complicated content

What to do:

* Convert Everon from OFP:Elite, cover it with satellite map and single surface layer

* Create a a basic soldier types (ordinary East/West rifleman) from ArmA or determine what should it be replaced by

As a result, a basic version of the Everon island can be used in the mission editor

Alpha

Goal: complete transfer of all Cold War Crisis content needed for the campaign

What to do:

* Convert Desert Island, Everon, Malden, Kolgujev, and cover them with surface layers

* Convert or replace all vehicles used by the campaign

* Convert or replace all solder types used by the campaign

* Convert Cold War Crisis campaing, fix any issues which make the campaign unplayable or not true to the original vision

Probably need to add some stickied engineering threads to discuss general content development, ie a thread to discuss common characters development, one for common weapons, etc.

[raedor 8]

Yes, definitely. I'll (or someone else) add them as soon as we're starting with the "real" work.

hmm who exactly is working on this?

[the_shadow 0]

i can say it´s not me....

[Jahve 0]

hoz and Planck are i think. They got it ingame textureless.

[berghoff 11]

So one thing I would like to see aswell is a GUI with OFP 1985 theme, will this be in the project too in later stage aswell?

I don't see it in project milestone.

[raedor 8]

Currently we're waiting for the SVN repository from BI, nobody really started working on conversion beside some testings.

Well i just made CWR_Music.pbo.. guess what it contains

I also noticed ArmA has some remixes of OFP music but its a bit to techno for a game that plays in 1985.

[raedor 8]

Jep, the music definitely has to be ported, too

[berghoff 11]

Is there any form of update on this project?

What is status of SVN?

When is first phase starting? After euro release or sooner?

It has been quiet in here lately ;-)

(waiting eagerly to walk again on Everon )

[raedor 8]

"Behind the scenes" some people are already working a bit on their own (testing island conversion from OFPR to ArmA), I did some config "remapping" which has lately been released by Q within his OAC project.

The SVN server is on the way, BI knows what we need/want and is working on it for 1-2 days now.

[berghoff 11]

Ok thanks. Good to know.

Just curious, does this project have a deadline? Is it just done when it's done?

[raedor 8]

We don't have a deadline. A deadline would imply a prior tool release...

[berghoff 11]

There are only milestones to achieve so no deadline.

[raedor 8]

We're at prototype stage now...

[berghoff 11]

Ohhh next step include main Islands from Elite.

Seems the project plan gotten a little update:

* Find a way to share BI tools with the Cold War Rearmed core development group

* Get Elite content from BI

[raedor 8]

First post is updated.

[berghoff 11]

Is someone already working on the data pipeline thing? Or can this only be achieved by getting BI's Filebank tool? Would be nice if this could be tested before real work starts.

hoz was working on a batch, afaik. As said somewhere else, we'll definitely check FileBank as soon as we have it.
