OFP addons into ArmA!

[Major Woody]

This topic is made to discuss wich OFP addons you would like to see converted - it's not another topic about wich addons you would like in ArmA.
Plz post the links to the mentioned addons if possible  http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

Some of my favorits are:  

Addons
EVERYTHING from Red Hammer Studios...

Mi-26 by Nashe Orujie (Our Weapons) (http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=8085)

Wouldn't it be better asking them if they'll be converting the addons? I THINK RHS is going to convert to ArmA, but that's only my presumption. If not, then somebody that has time on his hands and gets permission from RHS can try and covert the addons.

Great topic, i really would like to see the nuke from OFP, im sure it is possible to do and with the new engine it will look so good, that i will sh't my pants. (=

I agree. I can't wait to see Falklands done in arma. The rain, the hills, the circa 70s weapons (when guns were guns(SLR&#33http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif) and the size of landmass & settlements all complement ofp/arma engine perfectly. Can't wait!

Also anything done by those flying Finns. FDF was sublime.

Course, all this will take months if not years to knock out so in the mean time I'm just hoping for some good, innovative coop maps.

I say the first things that need to be converted are the sadly missing weapons from OFP, that is the AK-47 (AKM) and Czech AK47 variant, Bizon, Mi-24 Hind, Cessna, Kozlice Shotgun, civvy Motorcycle, Steyr AUG, Gustav (except modelled correctly), AT-5 modelled correctly, Skorpion, MAC-10, Hunting rifle, FN-FAL, G3, Bradley, BMP-1, T-80, T-55, M60A1/2 (for sahrani forces), CH47 Chinook, Apache, A-10, Su-25.

The basics are what should be added first, then we can get into the more unique weaponry. I just cannot believe BIS didnt add in the AK-47!

I SO totally agree! No BMP 1, T80, T55, M2A2 ans M60 is a huge mistake - but keep in mind - the bmp2 was'nt in OFP until Red Hammer, so let's see what's in the first expantion pack to Arma...

Could'nt agree more Lockheed Martin$ch (and good luck luck getting permission)

A civie atmosphere to fight amongst would do well to reflect many of todays conflicts, not to mention fun! And the amount of time wasted on nit picking M4's, quite frankly has me concerned.

So in addition to the already great list I'd also like to see;

Mapfacts Baracken, or maybe just everything MAP!

[DM]

None...Its time for a new beginning
I&#39;d have to agree with you there.

I don&#39;t mind OFP stuff being ported over if its properly re-worked to suit the ArmA engine, but porting stuff just because its there to be ported, or for the point of porting is just nonsensical.

Very few, if any, addons for OFP are "up to standard" for ArmA, I dont even consider the BAS choppers good enough (far too many textures, "dodgy" mapping, scripts need re-working etc) to port.

If people put the effort in to sort the mapping, named selections, new LODs, new material files (essentially re-work the addon) then sure, go for it. But just dragging stuff over from OFP without upgrading it is a no no IMHO.

[Nephilim]

i also highly agree with deadmeat.

arma uses the resources (textures, polys) properly
and the old ofp addons dont.

its a totaly nightmare to redo all of the stuff, but also just to "import" that ""crap"" into arma with those ancient layouts..

it simply doesnt fit.

atm people really need to go into the depth of proper modelling and texturing, cause in ofp this was haywire..

[MehMan]

I thought that was a given? I believe that you don&#39;t have to tell that to anybody who knows what he&#39;s doing.

[Nephilim]

no
just look at the ofp addons.
must people do NOT know about proper resource handling yet.
arma changes alot

people need to change their ways of modeling/texturing

[Lockheed Martin$ch]

Totally agree with you DeadMeat and nemphilim&#33;

What I do is porting the OFP addons over to ArmA to look if they fit the surrounding. If they fit, I stop work until the tools are released because only then you really know what all has to be redone.

If the model doesn&#39;t fit the surrounding at all I don&#39;t even have to do the effort of bring it up to date.

As I stated in my last post, we do NOT need a n^x M4 just every version has a higher poly count to look "more realistic". The BIS units/vehicles/weapons now look really great&#33; This should be the standard to create new units for expansion - not the same unit a hundred times.
Expansions means: Everything that&#39;s missing in the game compered to reality. And believe me, there are hell enough things we can create to expand ArmA so it&#39;s nonsense to redo already good enough things (BIS units)...

This is my dream in a short cut, but I had that dream also for OFP http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/confused_o.gif

[[ZG]BUZZARD]

Of course what&#39;s intended here is a query which addons there were in OFP that people would like to see a comeback of in ArmA, and although everybody likes high-quality addons, many low-quality addons were and still are used simply because they are really FUN to have and use, and we users are happy about having all the great addons you addonmakers give us (though there will always be some people who will never be satisfied no matter how excellent an addon is).

I agree, as wev&#39;e already seen new re-skins of the BIS units and they look great, so imho we don&#39;t need brand new US soldiers just slight tweaking of equipment here and there when the modeling tools are released. I&#39;m awaiting a desert version of the US vehicles and that would satisfy me. The models themselves look great so it&#39;s just a retexture (not that i would be any good at it though).

Have anybody considered to convert these addons - the M60 A1 (http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=4;t=43457;hl=inquisit) from Inquisitor and the BMP-1 (http://www.flashpoint.ru/forum/showthread.php?t=35369) from ORSC?
They have relly nice textures so I think they will fix in ArmA really good.
If the creators will give permissions and I find the time I might consider to do it my self.
These could turn out really usefull in Cold War missions...

[MehMan]

Actually, that M60A1 looks like it has sub-ArmA standrd textures. The model looks ok, but the texture would need to be updated for ArmA.

I would like to see Inquisitors/KHs M1A2 SEP in ArmA. They said they made it for ArmA standards, so I&#39;m guessing it would look extra sweet in ArmA.
