Cold War Rearmed² Discussion

[Maddmatt 1]

Now in the xbox CWC campaign a few missions are missing, 3 or 4 I think. I could add them by using the ones from the PC version but then we have now voices in these missions (because they never were recorded for the Xbox version). So the question is: Should we add these missions to the campaign but without voices or should we leave the missions out then.

I think it would be better to include the missions. By now many of us should be used to playing missions where we have to read all the speech...

Maybe some people could volunteer to do voices. They couldn't be much worse than some of those Xbox version voices :p

[Shadow NX 1]

Great news that CWR is back again :)

As before the ex-P85 team and RHS will support CWR where we can ( if thats wanted ;) )

[W0lle 1050]

Looking at the poll it's obvious that the community has no mercy with me and I gotta have to do these missions. :D

Voice recording for the few missions we considered already for CWR1 but dropped the idea because it would even more worse if the voices change for one mission and then go back to "normal". The Xbox voices I don't find worse, they are just... unfamiliar. Especially for those of us who still know the original voices.

However it might be a long way to release so there's enough time to check some options.

@ShadowNX

What question is this? Ofcourse we appreciate the continued support from RHS. In fact some orders are already placed. :)

i personally miss the actual OFP voices, i swear i seen an addon around armaholic that gave u the original ones but then in the description it said teh voices are real low, i think a while back i tried them but i could get it to work.

i know theres the original music from OFP addon out too, maybe just arma.

for the missions you would have to port those too?

[W0lle 1050]

We have the original sound tracks in CWR 1 as they are not CM property.

The only "problem" are the voice samples which in OFP were not made by BIS. We explained that already a couple of times in the old CWR discussion thread. Never heard of that OFP voices addon but I can figure someone tried to bring them back as an external addon.

If someone wants to that for CWR² he's free to do that, just we as Mod won't go on that thin ice. ;)

[luki 53]

Just for information i send a mail to CM to clear this question.

Thank you for submitting your recent request to Codemasters Customer Services concerning Operation Flashpoint.

Unfortunately we cannot grant permission to use any of the files in our games in other content. Sorry.

So i think this should be clear now. (and noone get into trouble)

Well I did that too. I think the issue might be the CM actually is not the owner of the voice

files. Instead some sub contractor that did those for CM/OFP.

[NoRailgunner 0]

Yes add the OFP CWC/Res campaign/missions without or new voices/speech.

Just wonder if CWR is going to use Arma2 features/modules to give those missions a small & nice "Arma2 update" or is its going to be more like 1:1 conversion? Think that some OFP missions could use bit of Arma2 fine-tuning and few improvements. :)

[W0lle 1050]

SgtAce

Thanks for that, showing that the time spending in this is pointless. :)

NoRailgunner

Of course we will use the new stuff that ArmA2 brought us, including the modules. Even if that means more tweaking of the missions. It would be rather stupid not to make use of that.

We just need to make sure that the campaigns are still as close to the original as possible.

And yes, looking at the poll results so far it looks like we got to add some more missions (and maybe even some surprises).

[Binkowski 26]

"In Our Games" that really gets me, but they are entitled to it. Anyway, enough rambling.

[andersson 285]

When you implement the missions, can you keep all the voice code and use silent wss files? That way we that own OFP can add the voice files and make it work ;)

[txalin 2]

I u want i can help on translating onto spanish :)

[W0lle 1050]

andersson

I won't make any promises that can be kept later on and make people even more unhappy. :)

Back then with CWR1 I tried to replace the voices for myself and ended up with even more errors because in some missions the names for the soundfiles has been changed (in description.ext) so in order to make the soundfiles compatible every soundfile name in every mission must be compared and changed where necessary.

If there is enough time to do that then we're doing our best to make it happen but don't count on it.

txalin

Thanks, we have already one spanish translator but the more, the better.

I'm currently preparing the first stringtable for the translators but it's possible you don't hear anything from us for a week or two or three... ;)

[dead kennedy 124]

Make me unsee it, not again.

OFP1 ports again?

[W0lle 1050]

If you don't like it, just ignore it instead spamming the thread.

Who said anything about OFP ports? You're hired now, welcome aboard. Your tasks are creating new models and textures for all the vehicles needed. This way you can 100% sure that no OFP models are used anymore. You can model&texture, can you?

[max power 21]

And the most ignorant comment of the year goes to:

*drumroll*

Make me unsee it, not again.

OFP1 ports again?

TADAH!

@W0lle

Do not pay attention, my old grandfather from F.ru here, it had run out pills and he does not understand what he is talking about. :)

@Dead_Kennedy

want better, do it yourself.

It's the most realistic and only Mod for 85 era to be expected!

It's neither the most realistic nor the only '85 era Mod. I don't know from where you get that impression. :p

no Wolle, guy is angry on me cause on private i refused him to "improve" my units and giving MLODs and releasing "credits will be given"

cause he told that P85 units need reworking , reequipping , other pouches, other helmets etc.

i was surprised cause on P85 there were few native Russians and East Germans working as advisors since 2007 to half 2009

friend of Thunderbird is native American who SERVED in Army in 1988, who can be better advisor than:

- US soldier from 1988 from Germany

- 2 East Germans

- older than me Russians, people from Russian community ?

people from USA and Russians aged 30-45 years old worked on P85 soldiers equipment , i even registered on Americans veterans forum to ask veterans about Greasegun pouches and etc.

and when i saw his post in Binkowski's topic :

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?p=1442768#post1442768

"what is OMON" than i was surprised

guy even has no idea what is OMON and wants to improve and change and rework, reequip and change gear of P85 soldiers

after my refusal to allow him redo P85 he "doesn't want to kid with" me "anymore" so he is starting black PR about P85 cause i refused him giving MLODS to "rework, reequip"

another Maza in community ?

Maza wanted to equip Polish army in T80, German flak vests and said that Beryl has fire selector on other side and Polish army don't using steel helmets

for some kids Ghost Recon, SoF etc. is oracle

seems we have another one Wolle, sorry for offtoping your topic, but you know - i try to clarify all quickly ;)

Sigh... you all do your dirty laundry outside my thread mkay? :rolleyes:

Self-proclaimed experts from shooters or youtube are always a problem, we know that by now.

Back on topic: We still need slaves translators for Italian, Czech and Russian. There's a truckload of stringtables to correct/translate so the more come the better.

We will not include incomplete translations again: Those languages who are not complete are kept out at all. ;)

[Smurf 12]

Playing the campaign in Coop is in the plans?

Drop me a PM and I'll see what I can do.

I must warn you though, I'm quite busy right now :)

[W0lle 1050]

@Smurfbr

Planned yes, if it's doable and make it into the final release we will see. Problem is that in some missions, especially in CWC you play alone or just with your vehicle crew which makes these missions useless for MP.

@Deadfast

Thanks! I had you on my Todo-list for a while since you're the perfect english->czech translator, but had no time yet to go after you. PM sent now. :)
