Issue using ArmA1 Map.

[Roe-31stMEU- 10]

Hey all.... I wasn't really sure where to put this problem.... so if this is an incorrect place then I do apologize ahead of time.

Anyway, here is the issue. I am using the CAA1 and OAC addons to play ArmA 1 maps. I tried using a third party ArmA 1 map and when I try starting the game, I get an error right away before the game loads saying that the mod requires version 1.14 (from ArmA1) and I don't see the map listed when selecting the editor.

I remember there was a solution to this before, but for the life of me I can't remember and I tried searching with no results :(.

Does anyone know the fix for this problem? Thanks!

probably de-pbo the map, open up the config.cpp (or if its .bin use kegety's unwrap tool to get it to .cpp) and look for the line that says

requiredVersion = 1.14;

and change it to anything arma2 is, i would change it to 1.05 or 1.0 whatever suites you. that should work, i had to do it once i think.

Thanks Bink, ur the man..... Now... since I gotta unbin the config, after the changes are made, how do I put them back into a bin?

If I'm right in saying, when you make it into a PBO again, it should turn the config folder into a bin file.

Thanks CMB. I actually did a quick search and found out eliteness does everything I needed it to pretty easily. I was able to open the config.bin, edit it, and rebin it back up all in that same program. Got the map to show visible in the list on the editor, unfortunately the map crashes my arma2 whenever i try to load into it.... ohwell.

Sorry to hear that mate, I hope someone else here is able to help you out with it. A crash report might help, not sure though.

[Binkowski 26]

yeah im not sure about the crash, could be a plethora of things. glad to hear you got it working though.

The addon works perfectly fine with a config.cpp as well. Just delete the old config.bin and pack the folder as pbo then.

Which map is it?

Which map is it?

I would like to know this also. In my CAA1 folder I have many arma 1 islands I put in it. It works fine for me, but when I gave my CAA1 folder to my friend on a harddrive, he tried to run it and it said he needed 1.14. I have done this with two other friends and it worked fine for them, so I don't know what the problem is.

The map was a Somalia map from PMC I believe. I also just tried the new thing they just updated which was like 3 old OFP islands on one map or something, but that just crashes as well.

That's because the PMC Islands are works of art in various stages of completion. They won't work very well, if at all, with CAA1. I believe there may be plans to bring their islands over to ArmA 2 down the road though.

Personally i'm hoping for the Somalia Island to be released for ArmA 2 with a realistic Mogadishu. The road network and the layout of the map are good, the only thing it needs is a city that could pass for Mogadishu, instead of widely spaced buildings. I'm assuming those buildings were placeholders anyways.
