OAC (OFP ArmA Conversion)

[.kju 3245]

@igor7111

Do you the latest version of YomaTools?

Download it again from his page:

http://yomatools.be/

Download on the left side.

Other than that at times the app needs to do some processing.

You just have to wait until its finished. You can see that it does

some processing once the list boxes are grayed out.

############

Finally the real OAC YomaTools server is up!

BIG THANKS to MadDogX!

Please update your URL to:

http://oac.quest-link.net/updater

In return you can download a couple of updates.

[*] PowerGREP regex configs updated.

[*] Finally all BI MP missions have correct and working names.

[*] Fixed: CZ75 needs to be based on Makarov.

[*] Added: various misc classed to the compa addon.

The port of the popular PvP missions 'Riverbattle' (based on

battlefield 1985) is almost done.

The goal is to convert it to plain ArmA, so that the mission can

also be used without OAC.

However with OAC the missions feature proper armor values

for tanks for example.

Also take note that Snake Man is working on his massive

PMC Joint Justice campaign. The campaign contains a couple of

great additions like CoC AIOD. You can read more about it here:

The Bastige Island 6, WGL COC_AI-OD MP CO-OP

Please update OAC via YomaTools. Updates of today:

[*] PowerGREP regex configs updated.

[*] PMC Fury campaign updated to fix a couple of script errors.

[*] Finally all BI MP missions have working messages/hints in the mission (scoring etc).

[*] Fixed: defined respawnWeapons and respawnMagazines arrays for all new infantry classes.

We are looking for play tester of the CWC, Resistance campaign and

campaigns of your own choice.

Trying to do the update but for some reasoni get this message come up all the time.

Acess to the path C:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\mpmission\oac_bi_1-8_d_flagfight.abel.pbo' is denied.

This is for all the updates any ideas.

Sounds like Arma was running while you tried synching, yes THAT's why you get that messagebox asking to close arma.

The game locks files when it's playing. It can however take a while to close the game and maybe it allready started synching before the game released the file locks.

So probably the solution was not to reïnstall my tool, but just to close Arma before trying to sync.

Didn't have the game running at the time.

[.kju 3245]

Good to hear that it works now.

Was it really 'mpmission' - as it should have been 'mpmissionS'.

[(FPC) Bacon 0]

I think it was mp missions to be honest.

My mistake but i did send Yoma the Logfile to have a look at.

Will this be stable enough to be used on our server in the next 4 weeks when i get back from my hols?

As i would like to make a few CTF maps to put on this.

[.kju 3245]

hey Bacon

what do you mean with 'stable enough'?

OCA will be updated on a daily basis.

However most of the time there are no problems with playing

different versions together, if you are about that.

If your comment applies to my tool:

When using my tool it's allways very important to do a test sync after updating your files.

Sometimes people tend to do stuff like upload the zipped files, but not the correct remote xml etc.

My tool is not perfect. The good thing about my tool is that it will point you to errors made. (checksums will not match)

But with a bit of work it does the trick pretty well.

When in doubt ask some guys that actually use it on their server, or start using one of the default servers to test if it suits your needs.

If your comment applies to my tool:

No not referring to your tool just with regards to the OAC Mod.

Would the TNT CTF maps take much to sort out a basic template then i can us ethat for some CTF maps for these islands.

Hey guys excellent mod I've been wanting to replay the old OFP maps in ArmA for quite a while.

I've got some problems though.

When I load up a mission like clean sweep or steal the car it loads just fine and about 2 seconds into it I get a nice crash to desktop.

I hope there's a fix to this I'd really like to try your guy's work.

[.kju 3245]

Send them over to me Bacon to have a look.

@JoshuaC

can you please upload your ArmA.rpt.

You forgot to download the addons required for these.

Either do NOT load the modfolder or download them first.

Inside the folder "@oac-optional-unit-placement\addons"

you find a file called "Required_addons_for_the_replacements.txt".

It contains download links at armaholic for these.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWorlds.EDEN'.

Warning Message: No entry '.cutscenes'.

Warning Message: Size: '/' not an array

Also it seems you did NOT load Everon / Eden at first.

Be sure to load the "@ace_islands" along!

Also don't load OAC along with SLX. Sorry wont work at this moment.

Thanks the missions are working now!

1 last small little problem I coped the mission sound files from my OFP installation like you instructed on the first page but when I play a mission I don't get the sounds.

[Yoma 0]

Q you can also add a mod sequence parameter in the modfolders.txt

My tool will then ask to use that sequence.

[.kju 3245]

@Yoma

You mean like a default recommendation which MF should be active?

@JoshuaC

ArmA.rpt again please.

[JoshuaC 0]

Here you go.

http://ifile.it/hjmr586

And the final destination of the sound files should be this correct?

example

C:\Program Files\Atari\ArmA\Missions\OFP\01TakeTheCar.ABEL\Sound\s01r01.ogg

For the first sound line of that mission.

[.kju 3245]

@JoshuaC

Couldn't see a problem in the rpt nor your setup.

Did you mute radio or music in ArmA options maybe?

As always. Please update OAC via YomaTools. Updates of today:

[*] PowerGREP regex configs updated and two more helper functions added.

[*] Fixed a couple of text errors in the BI SP and MP missions.

[*] OAC compatibility addon updated.

[*] Fixed: disabled M60 tank ViewOptics values for now as fixed optic seems strange (ACE values by KingHomer). Uses ArmA M1A1 values for now.

[*] Made OAC compatible to CWR (though several warnings about different class structure still remain for now).

##############

# CWR compatibility #

##############

Expect an update to OAC soon to be able to load CWR along,

and therefore make use of CWR Malden, CWR Winter Kolgujev,

CWR Interface, CWR Sounds, CWR Infantry and Weapon Models.

At the same time you can still use any ArmA addons /

replacement in addition.

Also a replacement addon will be released to use Sgt.ACE's

everon instead.

@Yoma

You mean like a default recommendation which MF should be active?

yes

check the link for the syntax

Modfolders.txt tricks

However its not ideal to launch my tool for local play (people have to tick the "local game" box at launch every time they launch)

[.kju 3245]

What about the feature to remember this option.

[boneboys 0]

I'm just getting this one error : Addon 'oac_bds_m60a3_replacement' requires addon 'bds_product'

I'll get back if I work it out...

EDIT...

The m60a3 pbo that downloaded using Yoma's sync weighed only 4 ko.

Replaced with the Armaholic linked pbo.

That was easy.. Thanks.

EDIT EDIT... New message =

Addon 'Map_Weap'' requires addon 'Map _Misc'.

To be truthfull I've put all the "extra AddOns in the main @oac AddOns folder.

Is that acceptable ?

No other 3rd party mods running btw.

MAP Air  

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">Required Addons: MAP Misc

Download @ armaholic

I will add the file/link to the readme.  

PS:

We will see if we can put the models on the server in one way

or another.
