CAA1 public release

[.kju 3245]

I can see another problem here. Can you please post your mission or the class name of

the chopper.

[AnimalMother92 10]

it's these guys:

BLUFOR -> US Army -> Air -> MH-6/AH-6

Resistance -> RACS -> Air -> MH-6 (RACS) / AH-6 (RACS)

I noticed that all the units have English voices. Even the Russians and Chernarussians. I often play with Russian units so it feels strange to hear them using English with American accent. Other than that great job with the addon!

Updated the OAC core to fix the littlebirds issue among some other small ones.

Update via YAS or the HTTP single file download.

Make sure to delete the old oac_core_DATE.pbo either via "delete extra files" in YAS

or by going to .\arma2\x\oac\oac_core\addons and remove the old PBO in there.

@ Dogmeat of Finland

Do you say even ArmA II units are changed? Can you please post a short sample

mission to see the problem with and without CAA1. Thanks.

[AnimalMother92 10]

Thanks a ton kju! That was the one little issue remaining for me. :)

[SaOk 112]

Is that latest OAC core (to fix littlebirds) working right? ArmA Addon Sync 2009 installed it to: .\arma2\x\oac\oac_core\x\oac\oac_core\addons\

And it dosent suggest to remove the old oac_core files from 20.8

[Dogmeat of Finland 10]

I used Addonsync to update the game and the little birds now show up in the editor in correct places. I don't have the old core files in the oac_core folders.

The voice problem still remains and I called my friend who downloaded the addon and he also reported the same thing. When I add units from CDF, Independent or Opfor side they just use English but my own character does speak the correct language. If I start Arma 2 without this addon the voices work just fine so the problem only exists for me in this mod. Does anyone else have this problem?

I made two example missions using the island Utes.

Example mission with caa1

Is that latest OAC core (to fix littlebirds) working right? ArmA Addon Sync 2009 installed it to: .\arma2\x\oac\oac_core\x\oac\oac_core\addons\

Same here. :confused:

[.kju 3245]

Sorry messed up the files. Please update again.

[KeyCat 131]

Thanks for the update Kju now the AH-6/MH-6 shows up in the editor but when I place an empty AH-6 it shows up as a UH1 in game? I downloaded the latest OAC core manually and deleted the old one.

When exiting Rhamadi from the editor I have a CTD with the following error...

Include file ca\introAnims\data\scenes\intro.intro\rscCommon.hpp not found.

Also, I CTD badly (requires a hard reset!) if I try to ALT-TAB to desktop with the CAA1-mod loaded, works fine if I don't load CAA1.

Thanks again for your hard work! Being able to revisit Sharani etc. with ArmA II is awesome, not to mention the FPS gained on thoose islands compared to Chernarus ;)

Same problem here. I downloaded via addonsync and used the remove extra files tab. Strange thing is though when I highlight it with space bar is does call it a MH6 even though its the UH1

Error: addon FLIR requires addon Extended_Event Handlers

[santafee 10]

So,do you still need ArmaI or are the Island files included in that version?

[NoRailgunner 0]

Follow the CAA1 FAQ-link http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/cbp-caa1/FrequentlyAskedQuestions ;)

[santafee 10]

Huh its really included,now thats a pretty nice step from BI!:)

Looking forward to that and downloading now!

[Jedo 10]

Just installed CAA and started getting strange freezes every 5 minutes or so (the game freezes for about 5 secs, sometimes once, sometimes keeps freezing and unfreezing). Don't know if it's related to this add-on yet, but thought I should mention.

EDIT: sorry for the false alarm. Looks like it turned out to be a mulfunctioning anti-virus (every explosion would instantly bring the game to a hault). I have since uninstalled it and hunted down the makers.

@ MonsterXXX

OAC core contains extra_vehicles. You are using the ZU23_RU vehicle from extra_vehicles.

Either you need to remove it or install the oac core to your server as well.

@ KeyCat

OAC core is only a class mapping addon. The littlebirds are not part of CAA1 so far.

The other addon uses a different class tree and therefore make not work well with CAA1.

For some reason binarize/rapify drops that file. Fixed in later tonights update. Thanks

for the report!

@ Spike 21

FLIR addon is not part of CAA1 or OAC. Must be another addon.

@ Jedo

Make sure to run only CAA1 and OAC to verify this.

And old version of CBA is known for this problem for example.

[santafee 10]

mh i was looking forward to try out the avgani iraq maps,why were they removed by foxhound?

[.kju 3245]

The author has a grudge against BI.

Update is out. Please update via YAS. OAC core and caa1_m_IntroAnims were changed.

As well as new key and sign files for all.

[santafee 10]

Oh k Desert and Stuff i see^^

Nevermind,Sahrani just looks soo....stunning

I like it 10x more then Chernarus.Cool that the 3d Editor works also!

LOL - guess that explains why :)

Thanks Kju & Co!

Just an update for my previous report about CTD's with CAA1 loaded. Thanks to a post made by IceBreakr I learn't that this could happen when using old ArmA I clutter configs, and indeed I had played around with PROPER_SgtAceIslandSetting.pbo. After I removed that one I have no more CTD when ALT-TAB'ing even i CAA1 is loaded. Go figure, the problem was induced by myself and not CAA1, sorry if I had some of you scratching your heads ;)

However I did find another minor issue that most likely is an engine thing, this may be old news for you but I include it anyway.

When foggy the fences (and partly roads) in distance looks like above, note that the same fence looks perfectly fine up close.

-I was deleted the ZU23_RU the mission working now. I think ZU23_RU have some conflict with extra_vehicles file. Because when you put the ZU23_RU on the mission and even entry extra_vehicles in the mission.sqm list the server still kick you out and pop "You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted. extra_vehicles"

-The M113 Vulcan's point of impact is very weird you should check it out.

[papoose244 10]

I cant play multi when the mod is enabled i get an error message saying oac files are no signed by a key or something.

[Punisher5555 0]

Amazing. Thank you very much. I played some QG missions I like. This one of the best things ever. I just uninstalled my ArmA Gold because of this.

---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 AM ----------

Schmalfeden map works perfect for me. Uhao does not. It pops up with a box saying "version 1.08 required".

You are right. No infantry addons. i.e. SIMHQ, nem_zombies, yomies, etc...

[bushlurker 46]

I had Uhao almost completely working apart from one missing texture error and a bit of wierd "distance artifacting"... I'll report on the "other islands" section of the site...

(meantime if you open the island .pbo - de-rapify the config.bin to a config.cpp and just change the "required version" line to 1.03 and re-pbo - it should load and work mostly fine....)
