Dear ArmA: Cold War Assault veterans,

Since the very beginning, the team behind OFP(r).info / armedassault.info has been running one of the leading websites covering BIS games, keeping you up to date concerning Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis and Resistance, later renamed to ArmA: Cold War Assault.

For over 10 years the site has offered news, downloads, support, means of communication and sometimes even opinions that influenced official policy (http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?game=0&cat=news&id=491&setlang=en) for BIS' games to tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of players on a daily basis. After 10 years, the game is still alive and kicking, being played and modded on a level that is quite unique for a game that old. To keep the level of service at the high standard set before, I've decided to help out by posting news and providing mirrors for new files as well as files that were previously missed.

I plan to post news exclusively during the weekends unless there is an urgent reason, by which I mean an addon release including providing a mirror. The site has had a policy against posting about missions to ease the workload for staff members, however as I don't expect to be flooded with quite as many messages as years ago, it should prove to be possible to gather several and put them in a newspost.

If you are a modder looking to get news about your work posted or your release hosted, or a player that has an addon that is missing from our download server, then please tell me about it in this topic, or by contacting me via a personal message. I do keep track of the ArmA:CWA forum section on the BIS and OFPr.info forums, but even I can miss things ;)

Regards,
JdB

-------------------

Standards for content you want to have posted:
- At least one image of a good size displaying the addon or mission must be provided (the only exception are sound or scripting addons), editing of the image(s) is allowed, but the addon must be clearly shown;
- Images must all be of roughly the same size (pixels);
- Images must be from ArmA:CWA, Bulldozer, O2 or other BIS tools, no pictures from third party programs (like renders) are allowed;
- To download the file(s) to my computer so I can upload them to our servers, there must not be any registration proces required of me;
- Files must be properly packaged up for release, I don't want to do Ikea-like projects to post people's news;
- File archives may not be password protected and must be in a common format (zip, rar or 7z);
- If other addons are required, they must be clearly listed and links must be provided from the OFPr.info server.


A tip for those that are having problems downloading from "dead" OFPr.info links.

Look at the link. If it says "www.ofpr.info" change this to "ftp.ofpr.info". For example:


ftp://www.ofpr.info/ofpd/unofaddons2/JAM3_FIXED6.rar

Becomes


ftp://ftp.ofpr.info/ofpd/unofaddons2/JAM3_FIXED6.rar

And it will work again.

It seems to be down for me as well.

[Leopard]

Same here, was earlier today trying to search some addon's, but site was down.

[ProfTournesol]

yep, it's down till yesterday at least.

[ktos]

When the site will be useful again?

[JdB]

When the site will be useful again?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Meanwhile, the files are still accessible if a release thread has the mirrored link in it. I can post mirror messages in threads like I did before to make sure that the files can be found, but I tend to post these messages in batches and some of these threads haven't been posted in for months, so that might cause problems with the moderators, so I'll ask first.

[CamoGirl]

Hello - it's down for me too.
That link to the ww4 mod 2.5 on the first page was incorrect, anyway.

[BronzeEagle]

*Deleted*

[ktos]

That's thread about ofp.info, not about campaigns.

[W0lle]

Indeed. Instead crossposting your post which you already made in your campaign thread you just could have posted a link to it.

I said that before already, with 1038 posts and joined in 2002 one could think you know the rules by now.

[JdB]

As W0lle said, please link to news you want to have posted instead of posting the news itself in here.

[ktos]

So, is it definitive end ofp.info?

[w945563]

This is sad:

[JdB]

So, is it definitive end ofp.info?

Sorry to say, but what kind of BS is this? The site is down for a few days and it's the Apocalypse? What a drama-queening every time the site is down for a few days. Stop the drama please, the site has been down many times before over the last ten years, either for 10 minutes or a week, every time people proclaim the site dead, and despite all of the drama it has always been back up after a while.

Meanwhile, ofp.gamepark.cz has gone from timing-out to giving a 404 error to forwarding to gamepark.cz, and the FTP for pictures (the files are hosted on a server in France that has nothing to do with the host gamepark.cz, pictures and website layout in the Czech Republic) is working again, so they are working on it. Give it some time, the problems started on saturday, and I very much doubt that any of us work on saturdays and sundays.

[JdB]

The problem is being looked into, but as we do not control the server directly it could take a while.

Thanks to Cervo and the gamepark.cz staff, the site is now fully operational again :icon_w00t:

Newsposting will soon be resumed.

A reminder: This thread is about OFPR.info in general, not to submit your news. Please contact the site staff personally for submissions.

[JdB]

I posted this in my own thread, but no one seems to have read it, so I'm re-posting it here:


My PC broke down and I've got to get a new system. All projects are on hold until then. Project files are regularly backed up so they are fine.

Because of the same reason I can't post news on OFPr.info either :(

[ProfTournesol]

Is it still possible to be hosted ?

[JdB]

Is it still possible to be hosted ?

You mean website hosting?

If so, it should be possible. Some things would need to be done by the host, which Cervo needs to request.

[ProfTournesol]

Mmm, i meant files hosting :)

[JdB]

Mmm, i meant files hosting :)

PM me what you want to have hosted.

I have some other stuff waiting to be posted about as well, hosting is possible, newsposting is going to take longer than usual.

[JdB]

The fileserver has been down since at least 16:54 (GMT +1). Hopefully it will sort itself out.

[JdB]

As the issue is unresolved as of yet, I've informed Cervo. There might be server maintenance or relocation that we're not aware of.

[JdB]

The problem seems to be resolved. Thanks Cervo and Jerry Hopper! :cheers:

[PuS]

Thanks for the Info JdB, great to hear :D

[ProfTournesol]

Great, thanks to the ARMA/OFPR.info team :)

[kenoxite]

Great!

Although it seems to be working intermittently now. I managed to download some stuff a while ago, but now I keep getting the "not found" message again.
Never mind, I was trying to download Private Military Contractors (ftp://ofpr.info/ofpd/unofaddons2/ardvarkdb_PMC.rar), by ardvarkdb, and that's one the few files with a broken link. All the rest works fine.

Thanks for keeping that site alive. You're doing a great service :)

[JdB]

I would look in the FTP if the filename was wrong/changed, but I can't access the FTP yet.

[Sanctuary]

If you copy/paste a download link from the latest OFP.info news and change the downladable file name to the one that is unreachable it seems to work.
So Try this link (ftp://ftp.ofpr.info/ofpd/unofaddons2/ardvarkdb_PMC.rar) to download that ardvarkdb_PMC.rar, just tested and it worked.

[kenoxite]

Nice trick. Thanks!

[JdB]

All downloads seem to be corrupted, all files are now 0 bytes after downloading. It's been reported to the server admin.

Edit: the problem seems to have resolved itself.

Hey,

I've tried the file you were downloading (as well as some other larger and smaller files) and was able to download it five times in a row without any problem. It might have been a case of bad luck where the server messed up, a connection problem at any point from your pc to the server and back or a hardware or software problem on your end. Let me know if it persists over the next few days.

Do you think it maybe from the country which I'm in now "some kind of preventing data transmission server" ? Now I'm in Egypt, When I was in Russia i didn't face any problem with downloading!. I've tried 3G, Dsl... downloading from another PC's ... and the problem is the same..

[Zulu1]

There is a new FTP file host which is slower and may not always be available. See news page on OFP.info

I don't know what the level of infrastructure is like in Egypt. It's likely just not as reliable as the connection you had in Russia.

I recently installed Aram Cold War and am looking for addons for it. I just accessed ofpr and some reason I can't seem to download several addons. Is there any maintenance ongoing that I don't know about? or are the files slowly being removed? If yes, are there any other sites that I can download ofp addons from?

[Revan87]

The site is very old so some download links arent working properly what particular addons are you looking for?

[kmossco]

I have been able to download perfectly fine. Have in mind that you can only have 3 simultaneous connections to the FTP server, so you may get errors if using a download queue program.
But knowing what are the addons you are having issues with would be very helpful.

[JdB]

A tip for those that are having problems downloading from "dead" OFPr.info links.

Look at the link. If it says "www.ofpr.info" change this to "ftp.ofpr.info". For example:


ftp://www.ofpr.info/ofpd/unofaddons2/JAM3_FIXED6.rar

Becomes


ftp://ftp.ofpr.info/ofpd/unofaddons2/JAM3_FIXED6.rar

And it will work again.

Lets see if that magic works, JdB. :P
