Mission available for this addon here - https://forums.bistudio.com/forums/topic/202945-sp-breach-and-clear/ :)

The first version of this mission is ready for release, see the first post for details. PS: I've been out of the editing game for some time now, so I'm very rusty. Not that I was ever that great to being with! Expect some issues and bugs. Hopefully they're not too bad and you still enjoy the mission.

I tried it with Mac Steam CWA, worked flawlessly. Steam pops up with a window asking if I want to launch with the customer parameters used to connect to the server. I clicked OK and the game launched and connected to the server.

I'm working on a mission where the player's tank platoon is part of an operation to create and exploit a breach in a defensive line. The player's unit is on overwatch on elevated ground while an Arbams, Bradley and M113 (representing combat engineers) move up to the tank trap fences to clear them. Since combat engineering vehicles aren't represented in OFP/CWA very well, I simply delete the fences once they reach their destination. I'm probably limited in what can be done, but is there a better way of simulating obstacle clearance? Maybe something to make it seem as if the engineers have blown the obstacles? Open to ideas!

It seems that files from the old site are mirrored here: https://gamefront.online/files/listing/pub2/Operation_Flashpoint_Resistance/

Are there any groups or people still playing coop? I've been playing OFP since 2001 but I wasn't part of the community until 2006 when I got access to fast enough internet (and bought Resistance) to download addons, then Arma hit the shelves later that year so I never really got around to trying coop in OFP. I would like to finally play some good coop games, maybe with WGL, WW4 EXT, or with classics like FDF mod and the old Tonal.

Sorry, my knowledge is limited. What do you mean? Mods which change the skies, like Kegetys' high resolution skies, are (as far as I know) installed by launching a batch file which uses cpbo.exe to replace textures/models within the data and data3d pbo files. Since you can't run an exe on MacOS, this would probably mean you have to use something like Wine to somehow do it, which is is possible by launching explorer.exe from the Wine dos prompt (simply type explorer.exe and hit enter) then navigating to the batch file (or exe installer if you want to install a mod) and double-clicking it to launch. I don't think so, I can't remember seeing any reference to a linux dedicated server. Would love to be corrected!

I bought the game, curiosity got the better of me The setup is a bit different for the Mac version. As you say, his aspect ratio does work, but Fwatch is an .exe you need to use to launch CWA with to access the advanced features of aspect ratio.

You would hope that gets rectified. How does it handle mods? What about installing mods like ones that change the skies that are installed via a batch file? Is it possible to use Fwatch with it? Faguss' aspect ratio/widescreen patch centres the UI but requires Fwatch to do it.

It's unfortunate there's no Steam play. I have CWA working well on PlayOnMac but I'm tempted to see how the port is. I was also hoping this would be an opportunity for a CWA update that included widescreen support among other things to make up for the recent widescreen update that didn't work.

Truly the largest collection of OFP files known to man, thanks mate! :)

A few years ago when CWA came out I remember the 1.086 patch for ECP was released, does anyone have it?

Called Ion, which, IIRC, was the name of the PMC in Arma 2.

fyi

Thanks to all involved for this mod. Potential small bug - the National Army officer spawns without ammo. Can anyone else confirm?

I'm on a Mac and using a Wineskin for CWA and so far it runs very well, much better than PlayOnMac. I've encountered a small problem in that only 1 modfolder is ever loaded. In the EXE Flags field I have the following: -mod=@ww4mod25;WW4_EXT -nosplash -nomap I get this in the log: sh: WW4_EXT: command not found Does anybody know what's wrong? I'm going in blind here. EDIT Scratch the above. You need to use -mod= for every mod for it to work.

You haven't got the slightest clue.

Not a request but I wasn't sure where to put this. If you're looking to make some topical missions I found a number of Ukrainian military addons here. I wasn't aware of this site before so I posted it here just in case others weren't either. There are also a couple of Ukrainian addons at good old ofp.info, which might also be at the site above (not sure).

I'm going to be away from my gaming PC for some time. My laptop is a mac book pro and I would like to get CWA running through an emulator if possible. Has any anybody had any success in doing so? Thanks.

I switched to POM in order to get mods running. Once you install it just go to "Configure" then fill in the "Arguments" field.

Any luck so far? I think it might be possible to do so with a custom launcher like Kegety's one. You would install the program, launch it, point it to the CWA exe and then specify which mods you want to run and also be able to use the -nomap and -nosplash commands. If that is successful then the only big problem left is mods with .bat files, for example, installing new sky textures and such.

It sounds like I'll have to try some different wine engines. FYI, I came across this link below for a tool called Play on Mac but I haven't tried it yet. http://www.playonmac.com/en/topic-8477-Arma_Cold_War_Assault_GoG.html
