Petition for Tonal to ArmA!

Recommended Posts

Hi.

I know i'am a nobody around here, but i have been playing Ofp/ArmA from almost the beginning. And tryed Both modding and mission making, but everything exept one mission hasent been finnished and released. And i used to work for Ofp.info adding addons and Missions.

Anyway, i'am ha Huge fan of Tonal and the other Bas addons, and i still have Operation Flashpoint with Tonal installed, and play it often.

But since ArmA got playable after patch 1.14 my friends wont play Operation Flashpoint and Tonal Anymore:(

I really dont understand why importing Tonal to Arma isen't the first priority for the bas2 team.

I sent them a message asking why, but they havent replyed, so i ask everyone who loves Tonal to sign this petition for the Bas2 team to import it, or atleast let the community do the job.

Please sign up, we really need Tonal for ArmA! smile_o.gif

If there is no response - maybe BAS team + members had left ArmA/OFP scene forever? Petition should be read by recipient..

Anyway its an request - "make Tonal".

It's a great idea, and you've got my vote, but I don't think Addon making or converting is a democracy mate, 'people power' just doesn't work...

Makers/converters do what pleases them and what they have permission to do - usually not what people ask for...

But, hey, I'm just happy I got to post in this thread before it's locked! rofl.gif

Yeah Tonal would be great but who's gonna import it. Since Bas2 team hasn't been around I doubt ArmA is a priority for them. I could be wrong though. It just seems sorta pointless to get a petition going if there's nobody to petition.

Well, if Bas2 isen't active anymore and can't be reached.

What's the rule abouth someone else importing it to ArmA, if the Bas team ofcourse are credited for all the addons, Islands etc?..

I have sucessfully imported some buildings and palms to ArmA, with no plan of releasing it. I joust wanted to see if it was possible, and it worked with no problems exept i had to make my own config for the buildings, becos i dont understand everything in Config.ccp

But the island i have no clue abouth, i joust wanted to feel a little good old Tonal feeling with placing a coupple of houses and palms on Rahmadi.

I will ofcource delete it imidatly if its illegal to do this for pesonal use to.

I joust love Tonal and the african Theme so much, so i really want it in ArmA.

I always thought Bis Should have made Africa theme with Delta/Rangers, Goverment, Rebells and Militia instead of Crappy Sahrani that i dont like at all.

I'd love to see it, but it'd have to be redone pretty much from the bottom up to look like it truly belongs.

It was indeed a wonderful island and mod, however. smile_o.gif

Hell I'd also love to see Tonal.

It would be a hell of a lot of work to import, if you want it to be up to ArmA standards.

The satellite texture would need to be done pretty much from scratch(which alone is a huge task) and vegetation would need to be replaced to look decent. Those old buildings would also need to at least be re-textured to look decent in ArmA.

Maybe some day we'll see it smile_o.gif

Right - who does the work? Massive work?

Probably hundreds of hours - at least for BI forum standards..

Mind you there are some lovely jungle maps out La drang in the VTE mod and Uhao island.

Well, if we speak strictly tonal terms, tons of work. Although, lets say some half of the work is already done due to the buildings being placed, etc etc. The other half would be, making the buildings better, sat mask, jungle, enhancing the general terrain.

I'am positive the comunity has people that want to embark on this project.

But the main problem is to get permission, without that we cant even think abouth getting a team together.

Anybody have contact with people from the Bas/Bas2 Team?

I only know a little abouth modding and config's. But if we get permission i will work hard at learning more and Importing stuff.

I'am buying a laptop to bring to work becos i have much dead time, so i have plenty of time to work.

Send DM a PM. From what I know they denied permission once.

Most likely for good reasons. You better come up with a good

plan and team before approaching him.

The beautiful thing about Tonal is that it was of extremely high quality.. the quality of that island was very high, higher than the ofp islands, I think (made possible by the improvement in computing technology). In order for Tonal to be the same Tonal experience, the quality of Tonal HD would have to be higher than Sahrani.

You do have a lot of prefabs you can use and maybe even some plants and buildings from ArmA would be useful... but the total number of man hours put in to the new assets in Tonal HD is necessarily going to be much higher than it was for the original. This is no small task we are discussing!
