Cold War Rearmed v0.36 released

da12thMonkey · May 14, 2003

This is great, playing Ambush again brought back all the memories of playing the OFP demo and how it made me buy the game and I'm feeling exactly the same about CWR; can't wait for the full version.

Malden looks great in ArmA, the only problem I've noticed with it is that the concrete textures used for places such as the parade square on the training island and on petrol station forecourts is extremely shiny; it goes completely white in the right light.

The new models are all great; particularly the new west pilot (an improvement on ArmA's, never mind OFP's) and the BMP, although it has red tracers for the PKT rather than green like the rest of the east kit and the missiles are impossible to hit owt with. I look forward to the current OFP imports getting the same treatment.

@andersson: That's a mission bug which will be fixed.

@wipman: I explained somewhere earlier why the 1.09 is required: The M113 otherwise won't correctly with 1.09 (if we take 1.08 as base).

@General Performance: The problem is that we had some bug with the clutter. To overcome it we had to set the "clutter view distance" from 55 to 120... the other choice would have been to take the green grass...

@Malden intro bug: No idea, didn't see it happen yet, gonna check.

Gotcha! It's the LOWPLANTS GRASSFIX - not lowplants per se. Removal of the grassfix (from the addons folder of 'lowplants' resolved all crashes. Thank god! Now I can play with impunity and a lot of the fps hit of the vegetation (minus the grass) is gone.

A plea to Kegetys - can you do something about the Porto grass? It would solve so many worries. I happen to think it looks quite nice (it's a suitable colour).

.kju · October 20, 2001

FPS probs related to grass.

Disable grass.

Terrain detail very low.

raedor · September 30, 2002

Added that to wiki page: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Cold_War_Rearmed:_Demo#KNOWN_ISSUES

mattxr · January 17, 2005

I played it with no mods, just 1.09 and i crashed just after ambush intro, im not sure if this is known or not.

Anwyays soon to come "" STEAL THE CAR "" Â

andersson · March 18, 2003

But what most hurt me... is that no one or no where
says (until you get an error message) you need the ArmA 1.09

to run this Demo. Let's C ya

Let's C in the ReadMe

wipman · August 16, 2003

Hi, yeah, im a sucker; it's on the readme. My bad for don't read

carefully the readme and don't have installed a Beta (v1.09) that

gives problems to many users; i've uninstalled the CWR until that

the Alpha v1.09 be released. But i've to say that unless the Ãœber

pixelated OFP imported graphics... i like the yankees BDU. Let's C ya

Jack-UK · December 21, 2006

FYI: i was running no mods apart from 1.09 Beta, and CWR when i have the Ambush crash after he says "Get off the road..." after meeting Bravo team, my ArmA RPT is on the previous page

I added setterraingrid 50 to all of the MP maps too because i lose over 40 FPS due to grass being on

mattxr · January 17, 2005

Could just be that map, maybe you need a new mission maker/converter.

Tobruk · April 15, 2002

OKay just a bit of help here.

I downloaded the hotfix and extracted it to my main ARMA folder however when I punch the desktop launch icon it still says I need version 1.09.

I also tried placing the hotfix files in the CWR folder to no avail.

What am I missing?

BTW thanks guys happy christmas indeed.

-Snafu- · March 4, 2006

Once the whole CWR mod has been released I would love to see THobson's Abondoned Armies mission ported over.

Anyway,I'm no mission making guru but how do you get OFP missions to show up with CWR in the editor? Steal the Car shows up but it loads nothing into the editor.

Once again, excellent job guys.

Place the cwr_on_ArmA_betapatch.bat into your ArmA root directory and doubliclick that instead of any shotcuts.

Of course you can make a shortcut to the batch file too.

sphoenix · April 10, 2007

I run it on 1.09Beta without the fix.

Played Skirmish and Ambush right one after the other, with NO CTD.

Ran it only once, finished both missions, no problem whatsoever Â

That's a really great mod you have here.

I'll have only a few suggestions:

- Drop the ArmA AK. Get a RHS one or RH's.

- Rifleman doesn't have enough mags at first, but that may be so in OFP as well. Can't remember.

- I'm french; in french briefing, you need to find the proper way to put accents, or drop them. If you directly put Ã©, è, à, etc in the briefing file it won't print it. And then you get REALLY weird briefings

- In the Ambush mission, is it normal that you necessarily fail the objective when the T72 arrives? (can't remember Â )

I destroyed all 3 of them and well, didn't change anything.

Which brings me to this:

- What's with the RPG? One rocket is enough to waste a T72.

- LAW and Carl Gustav: optics misplaced, going to optics feels very weird.

- You need a better model for the Jeep. It looks like OFP's, however I love the swingin' antennas! But it doesn't make up for the poor quality of the model.

- A sound bug at the beginning of Ambush: when in the Jeep with the Sarge, the voice is muffled (you're in the car, normal) and then it's super clear as if he was an inch away from your ear.

- That's relative to 1.09, but the sounds in the car (engine) are too muffled.

- I don't know if that's 1.09, but the feel of the Jeep, driving it, is amazing. Never seen that before, I love it!

- A bug in the editor: this is what I got when I tried placing the BLUFOR Captive.

EDIT: I noticed you had different grenade types (as in different M203/GP25).

Can you make it so they don't explode before 30m?

IRL, 203's are armed after 30m.

I love you guys!

This is what ArmA should have been in the first place.

The experience it brought me firsthand is even better than the one OFP brought me.

william1 · October 1, 2005

the runway lights in Malden don't switch on by night , only the ones on the head of the runway , i know this is an Arma bug because i knew from this problem before, but wouldn't be better to change these lamps with the same lamps placed in the head of the runway , at least those work well (and they are more visible from the air)

lee_h._oswald · January 24, 2003

Ok, with grass "on" = 16fps.

With grass "off" (setterraingrid 50) = 78fps.

There is a hotfix needed! I don't care if the grass is green or yellow.

What a time to release the mod... the OFP Christmas Tree Easter Egg takes into effect!

Im having a good time with the mod... thanks CWR Team!

Did have a CTD on Ambush right after the sergeant tells me to get off the road. But otherwise been playing in the editor for an hour.

The pavement textures have some funky reflection off it... its like it's made of glass. Head over to the fuel station in La Passagne to see what I mean.

It could just be me... but the grass is really ugly. Isnt it a bit too yellow?

Otherwise... great work and thanks for the flashbacks! I love this much more than the desert-themed Sahrani... enough of sand, okay?!

sphoenix · April 10, 2007

Just noticed: on the French version, main page:

you get Crebits instead of Credits

Jinef · October 4, 2002

Just my RPT file, i'm sure you have it all under control. Good quality stuff here, that's what you get when you work with BIS :P
