Converting OFP to ArmA

Recommended Posts

I've been seeing units that have been converted to ArmA from OFP. So far I cant find a place that tells how to do it. Has anyone got a link to tutorials or knows how to converts cars, tanks, aircraft etc to ArmA from OFP?

Thanks,

There are atm no comprehensive tutorials. It has been all learning by doing and trial and error. It really depends what kind of addon you are planning to convert. Wiki is some help, but there are huge holes in it.

I guess you would need to rewrite the configs and redo the texture paths. Once you get that working I dont see why you couldn't have it converted. I've never done it, only retextured ArmA units.

I believe you can't convert OFP human units as they use a different skeleton in the ArmA engine, and therefore wouldn't work.

I've seen a fair few mod teams having imported OFP addons into ArmA. Maybe they could say here how they did it?

Someone has taught me how to import the AS-1 Tank smile_o.gif, once I've finished learning I'll look into making a tutorial. Might as well give back what the community has given to me wink_o.gif

It depends a lot on what you are doing.

Scripts and "plain" config projects like "ECP" are the "easiest".

Static objects should be fairly limited effort as well.

Vehicles are more complex.

Even more are infantry units (new skeleton stuff).

Hardest are islands and custom animations (impossible?) right now.

Also it depends if you wanna have uber l33t textures (normal and

bump) or if you say, gameplay, most fps and functionality is more

important!

So for all these some parts are similar and certain things are

unique to each type of thing you are doing.

Animations (rtm) are possible with ofp anim, you just need correct models (slx people, pistol, nvg, bino, primary and secondary weapons in mlod) and to create new pivots (no need for translation as selections names are in english). I can upload my ofp anim folder with pivots, p3d and french translation (selections) but I don't want to send pm to ask autorisation to the authors of ofp anim and p3d that I use, pm me if you want.
