OA - Music Addon "Operation Arrowbent"

[loosebruce 10]

Hey all,

I have created a nice music addon for Operation Arrowhead to replace the music BIS created for it. The music I feel fits the game more and adds to the experience. I would highly recommend you replay the OA campaign after downloading this.

Each track has been replaced including menu music.

This was just a fun project to pass the time for a few hours and to improve my config skills, I do not intend to invest any more time in this as I have bigger priorities with other stuff.

Would recommend campaign missions: 2, 6 and 8. :)

I hope you enjoy

Like most sane mod makers I would recommend you use the addons folder method.

Extract to your ArmA 2 directory and add "-mod=@arrowbent"

This has only been tested on Arma 2 Joint Operations, however it should work on all versions of OA (retail, steam, expansion).

Depending on what setup; if it doesn't work you will have to fiddle around with the folder structure.

I have structured it this way as it is what works for me:

Arma 2\@arrowbent\expansion\addons

however you might have to try

Arma 2\@arrowbent\addons

What sort of music is this replacing with? Licensed tracks? Royalty free music?

Yeeah... You won't be dissapointed. Just downloaded... It's simply amazing - it sounds like real, mean war "game" should...

And for all who still not belive - I'm serious - it's awsome...

:D

Anyways, I dont like the idea of replacing any original BIS content that much, so I'll skip. :)

It doesnt replace it simply overrides, when you put the parameter into your arma 2 OA shortcut. To get the old BIS music back just remove the parameter from your shortcut or launcher. :)

Love this.

What you said was exactly right: Bis have done better with the music this time, but much of it is still too jangly and jolly to suit the action.

I have CO, but I couldn't get this to run using mod-folders at all. I find this odd since all previous posters seem to have had no difficulties at all. I had to temporarily remove music_e.pbo and replace it with arrowbent (not a recommended solution).

I'm well aware of which folder it needed to go in and tried multiple other ways of getting it to work, including trying a launcher application. Oh well.

Thanks for the work.

'For educational purposes', of course:bb:.

It's just COD4 and MW2 songs...

Why not call it the "Call of Duty Music Replacement", or something? :confused:

That would be because he has the mod folder set up so that the pbo is located in \expansion\addons\ for some reason, rather than just \addons\. Easily fixable yourself.

I have "requires music_e" issue, I added it as per the mod directory structure (@arrowbent\expansion\addons), then I moved the pbo in into "addons" only IE:

@arrowbent/addons/arrowbent.pbo .. same thing.

I have combined ops and both ways wont work ?

@ everyone who is having troubles

I am using it in this environment

Steam Arma 2 + Retail Operation Arrowhead

Arrowhead is installed in my Arma 2 steam directory under expansion.

Using combined ops remover for the sake of some in-game music I think I will pass :)
