Cold War Rearmed Addons v0.80 released

[manzilla 1]

I've got truemods implemented.And I've got a ton of additional pbos in my add ons folder , so I guess I will have to reinstall the game and go from there, unless somebody can tell me the exact pbos  to remove

thanks, Impi

How can we tell you which ones to remove if you don't list em?

There's no need to reinstall the game, you just have to remove the .pbo's from the main AddOns folder. Then organize them better. If you aren't sure which .pbo's are the vanilla ArmA files go check the BIKI. There's a page that lists all the base files that belong in that folder.

If you want to figure out which ones to remove, the only way any of us can help you is if you list all the user made .pbo's you are playing with. In general, it's not the best idea to stiff everything in your AddOns folder for simply this reason.

Not all user made content is compatible with other user made content and some are barely compatible with certain ArmA patch versions. This may end up being what's ailing you. It's most likely a conflict having to do with lack of v1.14 support or a general conflict with CWR.

A good place for reference is The.D's sticky thread:

http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=72113

It may provide some info into certain conflicts between user content, but at least it helps to identify which work the best with/for what. There may even be a CWR section. Just check it out sometime and take those .pbo's out of the main AddOns folder.

you can take out everything from teh Arma/addons folder that does not have a matching BIS signature ("bi.sign" files).

impi,

Here's the BIKI page that shows all the vanilla ArmA .pbo's that belong in the main AddOns folder.

And here's the BIKI page regarding the "missing rifle" bug. Now I don't think it's exactly the same problem as you have, but the concept on this page is the same. It's just a quick tutorial on identifying and fixing a problem that could be caused by user made stuff.

A quick way to narrow down which .pbo it could be would be to sort the files in the main AddOns folder by date. I'm thinking the suspect file is gonna be an older one. i.e. came out before CWR and possibly during the ArmA patch v1.09 and earlier eras.

It could very well be a newer release but I've DL'd much of what's come out since the CWR release and I've never had this problem. I do remember this problem just after patch v1.09 came out. I'm thinking it's got to be something that is accidentally replacing the class names of the ammo with an unrecognizable class name. This is only a novices opinion so I probably way off.

Either way, just remove all the user made content from the main AddOns directory and set up a Mod folder system that works for you. It makes it super easy to keep track of what you are using, identify a conflict and "deactivate" said content to clear up the problem.

Also, make sure you have the latest versions for all the user made content you are using. It could be that the conflict was already found and addressed in an updated version.

Just a few thoughts. I hope it helps.

Winter Kolgujev is awesome! I have one problem though, the choppers usually fly into the tree's, can something be done about this?

[W0lle 1052]

I have this problem mostly on Kolgujev too, the choppers default flying height seems to be too low for the trees which are now a bit higher then in OFP.

Everon has this problem too because of the same type of higher trees

As a solution you can make your choppers flying at a higher altitude then default, using the flyInHeight command.

just downloaded and installed 0.80 cwr mod.

i get error:

addon 'cwr_islands_wcain' requires addon 'cold_war_rearmed'

after install, this is a completely brand new install of arma. patched up to 1.14, no addons or custom content added.

when i get into game i open up winter kolv. and the game crashes upon trying to load the map.

anyone else got similar probs?
