Suggest missions/game modes to be ported to IFA3

[.kju 3239]

So the deal is you guys can suggest missions or game modes you would want to play with Iron Front in Arma 3.

The suggestions will continuously be added to a poll in here for people to vote on to express what they want to see most.

 

Based on received permissions, most votes, and feasibility we will port then things one by one.  :)

 

 

Notes:

• Please provide a link to the release thread (to avoid confusion and make it easier to track the right one down).
• Preferably it should be A3 missions, as porting from A1/A2/OA can be quite complex and a lot of effort.
• Preferably it should be easy to port to new terrains.
• No dependencies to other mods (except for other community made terrains are OK)
• Not a plain mission just with WW2 equipment instead - strongly preferred are generic or dynamic systems.

BeCTI!

I think the gamemode would fit the setting perfectly.

 

(or Devastation, although there wouldn't be much to do)

[domokun 515]

I think that Escape would be awesome.

A sort of WW2 jailbreak, e.g. the film The Great Escape

 

Also I think that a WW2 insurgency offers great potential, e.g. polish/greek/czech partisans, french/dutch resistance, jedburgh teams vs occupying forces (Italian, German).

Somewhat the like OFP's Cold War Crisis campaign...

 

So that means you could plan as insurgents via a conversion of Antistasi Altis mission or do some COIN as Wehrmacht thanks to conversion of Insurgency mission.

@ donelsarjo and domokun

Thanks for the good suggestions so far!

 

Forgot to mention - please provide a link to the release thread (to avoid confusion and make it easier to track the right one down).

Also preferably it should be A3 missions, as porting from A1/A2/OA can be quite complex and a lot of effort.

 

So what would be the best BeCTI version? AFAIK there are a few converted to A3, right?

Is there an A3 Devastation version?

 

Is there a decent insurgency mission/game mode available yet in A3? (outside TacBF/pure PvP one)

Hello there

 

An "official" version of DUWS https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/150901-spdynamic-universal-war-system-duws-alpha01/

 

Would be nice.

 

As well as "Pilgrimage" https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/163307-sp-pilgrimage/

 

Lastly, Xeno's Domination. if he allows it.

 

BTW the new lite mod is stunning.

I second a Iron Front version of DUWS.  I believe this is the most up to date and complete version.

Thanks guys!

First list added - multiple choices allowed.

Also shows voters choice atm; can be disabled if necessary.

[phil_accio 11]

I actually made a version of DUWS for IFA3 a long time ago, if anyone is interested in bringing that up to date send me a PM.

 

I would take a crack at it, but right now I'm more interested in making a CUP evolution mission and I haven't played with IFA3 in about a year or so.

[donelsarjo 60]

I have got two missions running on our server which would fit quite nicely in a ww2 setting.

 

This is a modified RHS Version by UralServer66 I got permission to edit and publish:

 

http://uralserver66.ru/

 

This is the original version (a bit outdated):

 

LINK Armaholic

(permission is being aquired, permission given, see pm)

 

 

Then there is the RHS edited Version of BeCTI (it would be easier to start with this one because RHS fixed a few bugs already):

 

can be found in the mission.pbo of RHS

 

And the Vanilla one:

theOden released a version of his CTI on the Iron Front Fan Forums here http://ironfront.forumchitchat.com/post?id=8119374.

 

I hope he re-releases more of his missions too for IFA3.

 

I voted Domination ;)

[Linderoth 1]

Antistasi would be so awesome!

Hello there

 

I would like to see equal time dedicated to both MP *and* SP missions.

 

Some of us are antisocial buggers.

Sure both SP and MP suggestions are fine.

Just keep the general recommendations in mind please.  :)

Dino D-Day scenario using the Raptor Mod? Just a thought.

[jinzor 31]

I would definitely love a port of Antistasi to IFA3, if possible. It is currently - in my opinion - the best dynamic co-op mission made for ArmA 3. I believe it is also quickly becoming one of the most popular missions out there as well.

 

I think that it'd be perfect for a Polish guerilla fighter scenario.

A mod/mission Rydygier and myself built in 2013 for our former mod team IFR as a small side project, i just added a 2 part demonstration video to the release thread, talked with Rydygier last week about it.

The mission was working in Full converted version IFA3, and i tested with IFA3 lite but get nothing but errors, things in the mission wont initiate so it needs to be looked at and fixed, Rydygier

says he need to rewrite some of the code but afraid he not going to be able to, im thinking if we could at least fix the issues coming up, the mission still works.

What the "best"/"most suitable" (or easiest to port) Insurgency in a working state available these days?

This one?

The best would be to contact the author and ask him

Hello there

 

Just FYI there is a version of IFL Domination doing the rounds based on the latest (?) Domi version.

 

I don't know how "legal" it is as Im not sure if it was made with Xeno's permission, so I won't link it here.

 

But it does exist and it does work.

 

I hope it's a legit version. It's rather good.

Hello there

 

Ill test later tonight, but if the Domination you've posted here is the one i've been playing nonstop for the past few weeks, it's really damn good and uses "new" IFL Lite content added recently (Kubels with MG etc)

 

I've found very few bugs with it other than the occasional death on respawn at base.

 

My only gripe is the lack of transport planes over the large distances between AO's especially with the Ranking enabled, but that's applicable to any MP mission with IFL.

 

Also, id like to see more use made of non combat items like the radio truck etc and yet again that's a complaint I can level at most IFL missions.

 

I've seen it played with 10+ players and User controlled AI and get wonderfully high frame rates.

 

It's a gem IMHO. Def in my top 3 of missions that should be part of the IFL experience. Hats of to Xeno and those who've converted it.

 

8.5/10

UPDATE:

 

SP Grunt: Just had a quick blast.  I really liked the fact you were under AI control as it gives the user more chance to have *fun* and not worry about A3's "interesting" AI. The mission ended (I think) with a notification error, but that was no real issue.

Another  mission I really enjoyed and might indeed demo for folk who've never played IFL before as it's so simple.

 

But, it's simplicity might mean it's not one I'll often revisit unless I just want to "kill stuffs" for 20 mins.

 

Good, but not great. a solid 6/10

 

Update 2:I had a quick go on the ALIVE mission, and whilst i appreciated touches like audio quotes from the film Patton I found it a little disorientating  to get started with compared to other missions and im no noob to the series, and it feels far more suited to MP play over SP. For that reason I don't want to score it as I wouldn't be doing it justice

Dear .kju

 

I discovered some posts here asking to port Antistasi to IFA3.

 

I have this port on roadmap, but not for the altis versión but for the Tanoa (aka Warlords of The Pacific) as new branch.

 

It will be much more fun to fight in a war of Germans vs Ruskies vs Polish (players are Polish) than a 1vs1 faction war :)

 

The problem: I have very Little time to code and first thing I want is to reach 1.0 in Warlords.

 

As soon as I have it, I will start working. In any case, if you or somebody is eager to make the port, they may count with my help. Contact me via steam (barbolani).

 

My ego is sad because I'm not seeing Antistasi in your poll but other missions which AFAIK are discontinued are there ;)

 

[.kju 3239]

@barbolanifirst off sorry for the very belated reply! 

 

"forgot" about that thread  largely as many dedicated people already made ports of their favorite game modes/missions on their own!

 

Anyhow would be great to see you doing an official port for Antistasi eventually (and Warlords style with Faces of War) 

 

as you might know a few people try to tackle it already too

Senty is/was working on a port: https://a3antistasi.enjin.com/forum/page/1/m/38173738/viewthread/30810411-making-antistasi-ww2

 

do you run a discord by chance?

[barbolani 198]

Im totally oldschool :( There is an Antistasi discord but I never join because I understand very little on how to use it.

 

Will contact you by PM
