Porting ArmA1 addons to ArmA2

[bugkill]

I have been looking for a definitive answer to this, but I have yet to find one. I would only like to know if we can use Jonny's SF and other addons in Arma 2?

[W0lle]

Vehicles, Planes and Choppers are working (with more or less heavy modifications).
Terrains too, though they don't look as cute as in ArmA (as of now).
Units doesn't because the human models (selections etc.) has been changed.

Thanks. Bad news on the units though.

[Norsu]

Hmm odd. I remember seeing videos of I44 US units in ArmA2 even before 29th May. Here's one of them:

I hope to get a definite confirmation on this because my purchase hinges on the fact if we are able to use unit addons from Arma in Arma 2.

You definitely can do this once the Editing Tools are out.

Maybe but I doubt it because he released those videos so soon after the release.

*EDIT*

Apparently infantry addon needs to be in MLOD format to work properly in ArmA2:

[W0lle]

Hmmmm, I haven't checked yet but if that's true and in MLOD they are working I take everything back I said before. :)

[bravo 6]

Terrains too, though they don't look as cute as in ArmA (as of now).

Can you please elaborate a bit more, please?

[Tajin]

Most of the addons need their version-check fixed. Since ArmA2 is at Version 1.01 and the Addons think it is Arma1 1.01, but require a higher version number.

However, that can easily be changed in the config.cpp / config.bin

[DXfan01]

so there is basically no way of porting units from 1 to 2?

[rstratton]

is it ok to use the mlod's bis released in arma2?

Those videos were made by our music-guy SFG, who did not modify any of the files. All that was needed was to have the soldier models in MLOD format (the old ODOL format doesn't seem to be accepted for any type of addon since only MLODs are working). No further editing had been done at that point.

That does mean we can't release anything for ArmA2 until BIS releases the editing tools :butbut:

If you binarize the addons with BinPBO, ODOLs work just fine. :)
We've converted and done a lot of new addons already, and they all work just fine.

ACtually, you get errors on MLODs sometimes (flickering textures, displaced arms, etc.).

[rstratton]

Are you planning to release them?

yes. i just need to implement all of the new arma2 features. arma2 does accept arma1 odol format just fine

Still using Oxygen Lite? It's been about 4-5 years since I ever attempted to make an addon (this was OFP).

What tools do you use to make models for vehicles\firearms\buildings\etc?

What tools do you use to make new islands?

I searched the Biki and nothing really informative is on there.
Links to tutorials, downloads, etc... would be really helpful since the Biki lacks the proper information.

Those are ment for ArmA 1.14 or higher. You must have it installed in order to render models in the new buldozer and to use the new Visitor. However if you are lacking ArmA you can still use the old Oxygen Lite to make models ready for porting over. There are few new lods and other crucial things needed but most of the work can be done in the old Oxygen :).

great - now you need soldiers for those Army vehicles... Seeing Marines load into strykers gives me the creeps. :)

[M@ster]

It's first test ...i have default USMC soldiers for Stryker (new cfg)

[STALKERGB]

so is it possible to binarize soldiers and get them in game? when i have tried the game has crashed on me but if i leave them unbinarized it works fine except for the arms going crazy when using a weapon that has a new animation linked to it (like the M24).

[DXfan01]

yeah i was wondering the same thing

[Helmut_AUT]

It's cool work being done here, but personally I'll now take the LAV or AAVP7 anyday over the Stryker and M113.

[DXfan01]

how'd u get the unit from arma 1 into arma 2?

[STALKERGB]

@<hidden>, main change was to edit the units in the config to use a classname from arma 2 such as;

class USMC_Soldier;

I also had to add an extra }; at the end of the config :)

[DXfan01]

thnx man will try

[horror1]

@<hidden> Man

wow cant wait to play vte in arma2:)

[sanders54]

Wow, M@<hidden>! These units are marvelous. Wish I understood how to port ARMA1 models to ARMA2 :)

Any release date? Will you doing any more models? Thanks!

ArmA1 addons, islands port to Arma2 it easy...
New cfg (ArmA1 addons) for ArmA2 it that problem...

(Sorry for my english)

[Balgorg]

The textures in the near distance on maps like Sahrani ported over are low detail, not at your feet but at 30-40 yards. Any solutions to this? Its the same with other maps ported over as well.

can't find soldier.cfg in arma 2 folder , want it to config and import my grey alien in arma2

method to import soldier in arma 2 but where is the soldier.cfg file ???

7. namesound="SpecNas" deleted
8. type="VArmor" deleted
9. threat="...... deleted


:pet5:

[Rocket]

The model.cfg file gets merged into the p3d file, when the objects get binarized - therefore you won't be able to find it in the unpacked PBO. I haven't tried getting any old soldier models through yet. But I have managed to get ArmA1 static rtm animations I made working, so I think there is backwards compatibility for animations.

[SirKnightTG]

Has anyone been able to get CWR working in ArmA 2? I tried copying it over but got several errors.

afraid you will have to wait for the makers of the addon to give prior permission, as there needs to be a few changes internally to the written files within the PBO

Ohhhh ok.. :) Ive heard theres allready one in the making for ArmA 2 allready :)

I can get a few addons from Arma working, but with some there is no sound. I have looked inside the PBO and located the config files. The listed sounds have the same name as those in arma 2, but they dont work. I have tried a few things, trying to get the sounds to work, but no joy. Its probably more complicated than i thought.

An example of a vehical that does this is Tsn Landrover's. Or a plane such as the Avro Vulcan. I have wheeled.pbo in a mod folder with the landrover PBO.

I've not opened the Vulcan PBO but I'm guessing it makes reference to a sound file in arma1.

without changing the cfg it can never find the correct file hence no sound.

You have two options,wait for the addon maker to make an arma2 release (from memory I think the vulcan used material without permission from another game)so this might never happen.

or two open the vulcan cfg, rename the sound file to a jet out of arma2 and the vuclan will have a jet sound again, won't sound right but it will better than a silent giant bird.

Southy

It should be stressed a lot of people who made addons for arma1 will be porting forward addons to arma2. I'm sure all our favorites will appear sooner or later.

Arma2 requires a fair bit of tweaking for addons and without any arma2 tools other than rushing so addons might take some time.

A classic example is the Kiowa Warrior I converted from OFP to arma1, in it's basic form it took about 1 hour to get it in game.

Now for arma2 I've already spent upwards of ten hours in the conversion process and I'm probably only half way through, to get everything to look feel right is just taking longer.

[Balgorg]

Thanx for the info, I tried renaming the sound file in the config to something from arma 2, but i cant get it to work. Some of the jets seem to use a number of sounds, and the config files look different. I dont really know what i am doing, so i probly have done it wrong. Hopefully there will be a proper port over of this.

Oh yes I got the Landrover to work in Caa1 with sound, it just started working? But all passengers are seted correctly, just the driver isnt, as he sits about 1.5 m in the air, above where he should be ! Something to fix.

Shame about the vulcan, cos its a great model........

Any recomendations to where i might learn some of this stuff, cos its all trial and error for me. Im sure everyone is a noob at some point to modding, so where is the best place to start ? :j:

[SWIFT88]

guys and girls, I must stress how important it is, before moving the addons across to ensure you either have prior consent to use the addon for ARMA II from either OFP or ARMA I. (edit) or other work which has not been produced by yourself

You are breaching the use of addon if you do this, and we could be in the position UKF/RKSL/Invasion 44' was in Arma I, which was to refuse to release addons until a collect agreement was made by all users not to tamper with the addons.

Please respect our addons in the general community, and rest assured, most popular addons will be ported across to ARMA II. Failure to do so may result in another stand-off similar to the mentioned above.

Therefore, if you want to de-pbo, and play with the addon, usually there's a readme with the addon that has a EULA and a email address of the author.

Contact the addon maker and get permission. This way you've covered your self, to prevent any questions later.

Good luck every-one

[Balgorg]

Thats all fair enough, but I would like to mention that when you are new to modding, you know very little. Its the experimentation that can help one understand what has gine into making a mod. By un-packing and tinkering you are just learning from others. If you buy a motor, you will want to play with it right?

Re-publishing something, with content nabbed from others is a nono, and altering something and making it available for others is again not on. Tinkering and keeping stuff for your own use surely shouldnt be discoraged, as there will always be people new to the fold.

Many mods dont come with a readme saying that the content is strictly for arma 1 only, and none state that they are never to be ported into arma 2. If i made a mod, i would be glad that people were eager to port it into arma 2.

In the case of the Vulcan, it was itself nabbed from another game, befor being ported into arma.

[JdB]

That's why we specifically put it into ours (I44). The readme and EULA are extremely limiting, only allowing regular use (playing the mod), which is due to previous experiences, when our handful of limitations for use of the OFP release were largely ignored (whether intentionally or not). It might be unfortunate for people trying to learn addonmaking, but our own rights/interests come first.

Eager to see it ported? Absolutely, but ported by people that are least likely to make a mess of it (= the original creator). People might do a good job, or they might not, and no self-respecting mod/addonmaker wants to see his/their excellent work ruined by someone with less love for/understanding of the project.

[SWIFT88]

If you buy a motor, you will want to play with it right?

If I bought a motor, if you mean the context of playing with it, I wouldnt spend £12,000 on a new car to void the warranty.

I think our point is, as on the forums, how long does it take to compose a letter asking for permission

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Subject Addon Arma 1

Hi, I44_John

Could I edit your Bunker model for use in Arma 2, with a few changes?

Brdgs Swift

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


Ofcourse Im not showing you how to suck an egg but it obviously didnt take me long to compose that, but I have atleast tried to get prior permission.



With regards to viewing other peoples work. I have done it in the past, I've looked at the ideas involved, but never changed things.

I recommend making your own models but waiting till the addon tools for Arma II are released before trying though, and maybe RKSL_Rock and the community will have tutorials up and running.

[Eble]

We have two subjects going at once here I think mainly because the original question was a bit too obscure.

For your own personal use once you have downloaded an addon you can do what you like etc ‘if’ and that’s a big if it’s for personal use only (subject to what is contained in the readme), this doesn’t mean releasing the addon, sharing it, giving it to a mate or squad mates and the like. If you want to port the Kiowa Warrior to Arma2 for personal use then go ahead.

The main thing to remember is ‘personal use’ over ‘released’ the photographic section of these arma forums is full of amended/adjusted arma addons for personal use, in that the community has no problems, but it does not like/nor will allow other peoples work being re-released without consent/permissions etc.

When Footmunch released the F-16 in Arma1 unbinarized, that allowed me (who had never looked at an addon before) to basically have a look at the guts of an addon, which in turn spawned a fair few OFP to Arma1 conversions, with that info I was able to help quite a few mod teams.

Arma2 is no different, I’d expect at some point most of the addons will be taken apart to ‘see’ how different results were achieved, it’s all about the learning process.

Once people get over the initial basic information requirements, they like me feel better able to ask questions in the modding sections of the forum.

This in turn leads to more addon makers and more mods of different qualities.

Always you should keep in mind the original addon makers, now after having converted quite a few addons I have a much better insight into the time it must have taken to make the originals, many hours of hard work.

This is my own personal opinion and in no way reflects the views of everyone on these forums.

Well put....my belief is the same ....as dictated with our agreement. But I believe if its a few people included in messing around on a self contained "lan party" and not publicly released (i.e. -released on one's website for a community use) and jsut released to a general devlopment and testing team....I don't see a problem with that....or is that a bit far fetched?

On that note I've been trying to contact the right person from ArmA Tactics that made the original AT_Rockeye / AT_Napalm Package......think they left it open ended for anyone to modify and use, then dropped the project (there's an issue where...but I've "tinkered" and tested tinkering with others for use, but was never publicly released due to this issue......I've made a CBU-97 from their concepts and would one day like to port and release. No contact info was given in the addon (only made by ArmA Tactics) and no contacts listed with the post at Armaholics. I've been wanting to get with them on some improvements on performance, effects etc.

Also would be an excellent port for ArmA 2 .....anyone for some Cluster Bombs???? Muah ha ha:681:

As soon as I have definate ok on this I'll release a public beta for consumption once a few minor bugs are squared.

and I also installed it in ArmA1, since the addon states that its using the new ArmA2 facetemplate, is there anything wrong I should notice in ArmA1?

Is there a version of said pack for ArmA1?

Is there anyone else making celebrity faces?

-Remake .pbo

If you want send me across the link for the addon in a PM I will edit it for you then send it back, but if you can extract the pbo then do the following;

-Extract addon .pbo
-Find config.cpp
-Find the line "RequiredVersion="
-Change the 1.08 to 1.00000000
-Remake .pbo
-Install addon & you're done.

Last time I spoke to WLD (RACS Project leader) he had issues running the arma2 demo and as such has no plans to brings the racs to arma2 just yet.

I'm sure if/when he is ready we will know about it :)

Actually RACS would fit perfectly into Arma - Operation Arrowhead :)

thanks i'll give it a try

@<hidden>:
it's not working... how do i have to use it ??

[i3luevein]

Hi guys, to shed a bit of light on this I have done most vehicles from arma 1 over.

I used Eliteness to open up the rvmats, got the textures from the arma1 de-pbo'd wheeled folder and put them in my own mod folder.

The proxies need a little playing with to get it right and the tyre puncture doesn't work like the other cars. But as long as you have all the damage textures and rvmats pointing to the right place, make your own config it all works fine.

Here is a config template I use.

(I know how to do config editing but currently that's about it.) Has anybody done a port for this that fixes this issue, or would be willing to fix it?

Now I may be entirely incorrect in my assumption here. But if it has to deal with textures i wonder if there is a difference between the two engines and material naming?

I know very little about ARMA II and ARMA conversion as i just started doing it two days ago. But i know with other games when going from engine to engine material settings and alpha channels all being setup for the old engine and not updated to the new may cause issues.

Of course like i said i'm likely entirely incorrect here but it was just a thought.

[[APS]Gnat]

Maybe load the file (a PAC ? ) into TexView2, then re-save / overwrite it again.
If that doesn't work, and you can edit the P3D file, save it as PAA and edit the P3D so the file.PAC get renamed to file.PAA

(I know how to do config editing but currently that's about it.) Has anybody done a port for this that fixes this issue, or would be willing to fix it?

i remember Arma1 having problems with greyscale textures as made fom OFP (begining of Arma1 addonmaking, using then OFP tools, cause Arma tools were not released), i remember some weapons were half-transparent cause texture was gray-scale
in Arma2 sometimes i have problems with alpha channel , depending on VGA probably (on BIS weapons i had in past on EOT or some houses-windows)
but all is now okay
so it may be alpha-channel error and VGA driver
or simply you talk about missing in Arma2 file of glass used in addon

basically i see that glass texture should be put into the same folder during binarisation, otherwise alpha-channel problem can appear
and than addon should contain the same textures (should not lack any if they are in one folder of addon)

in Arma2 some textures just changed name, for example some weapons made using Arma1 texture of M4SPR now will be white, cause texture changed name from abc_co.paa to a_bc_co.paa for example

[Norsu]

I have found it easier to just replace the messed up paa-file in binarized pbo with the non binarized original paa-file. Maybe adding *_ca.paa to BinPBO's ignore list would do the trick too.

sounds like a 'gravity' problem, it would be fixed by opening the 'GEO' LOD in the model and shifting the centre of gravity etc.

This adjustment would be beyond the standard arma1 to arma2 port as most arma1 models were binarized.

Sounds like you might have to wait for FFAA to port this addon.

You don't need it and posting it again and again is not going to work in your favour in terms of actually getting it made. Leave it and if somebody is going to do it, they will do it, alternatively learn to do it yourself. I'd be happy to help you learn the basics of configing.

this is the first time i requested this...what i wrote in the addon request topic is something i consider a differen't thing...

alright,then tell me what do I have to do to port that unit?what programs do I need?

Your basically asking for the exact same thing, even if you think you aren't. Nobody would create what you wanted from scratch & now your trying to get somebody to convert a tank that can pass for what you originally wanted.

Anyways, you will need cPBO or something similar, The Tools may come in handy, you will probably have to rename some stuff & rework the config. Then again, depending on the particular addon you "need" it may take alot more, or a little less.

[gotcha1234]

well,i downloaded cpbo,and it created a folder from the pbo file i opened,what now?

[Laertes]

Test the addon, see what errors it throws up and start to try and fix them. One at a time. It will almost certainly require some modification in the config.

Opteryx (Is that the right spelling?) Has decided that his maps will not be converted to ArmA 2. I believe he has retired from the modding community in protest over the actions of BIS. Or something like that.

Aww, that suck. I wanted to make some missions for it.

Also, another problem hit me. The nzx uparmored humvee doesn't work in arma 2 now, and I was able to get it to work before.

[Darkhorse 1-6]

NZX is remaking his humvees for ArmA 2... There have already been 3 beta versions released. Check this. http://forums.bistudio.com/group.php?do=discuss&group=&discussionid=149

I've bet this has been asked a thousand times, for 1 to fix the roads for AI to use on arma1 maps such as avgani. All I need to do is

1. extract the opxroad.pbo using extractPBO.exe
2. rebinarize it using BinPBO

Is that it or do I need to edit any config files in it?

Thanks

Please ignore the above. It's much complicated than I thought.

Just wondering, has there been any fix for the bugged ground textures on the Avgani-map yet? The map looks so amazing, so it's a shame that it has that ground-texture bug. :/

[R0adki11]

By all accounts that rifle just looks like a stock M4 which probably has had a config change. Im sure someone could easily change the config of an Arma2 M4 and recreate it.

It's actually slightly different, shorter magazine and barrel by the looks of it, but i was guessing i wouldn't be too hard to port or make.

[Fox '09]

Yes, if its an ArmA1 p3d, then there shouldn't be too many issues.

could anyone please take a look at some marker addons i realy whould like to see the USMC symbols addon in ARMA II (i looked at the config but i cant figure out whats wrong)

Quick problem. I have downloaded the Razani map from Arma I. After downloading Arma objects and plants from CAA1, I attempted to start it all up.,but when I try to start the map it ctd's. Anything I am not doin right here? I also run it in CO if that helps.

[Banderas]

May I be wrong but doesn't Razani requires Avgani and Afghan Village by OPX?

There was no YPR-765 in ArmA AFAIK, although it could have been in a mod. OFP i am unsure of. You do mean the vehicle that looks like a Bradley and an M113 had kids right? It also looks like the FV-432 is in it's lineage as well.

Pretty much, the turret of a Brad stuck onto an M113. AIFV I believe is what is called.

Don't go near any loaded firearms in the foreseeable future, because there are ArmA 1 addons that are working without any porting, config change or without OAC/CAA1, this one is one of them, if my memory doesn't fail me.

[PROTOTYPE 001]

There are no sounds for the jet. Its like flying a glider. Also get config.bin/cfgweapons/2xhp_23/fullautoSoundBegin error.

I have opened it up and made changes for myself. If I get it all sorted out I will ask original maker for ok to port it over.

Do not ask me to send it to you or to test it or PM me anything about it till I am done and the permission is given from ORIGINAL MAKER first.

Note: also added ACE Ejection seat to it.:yay:

[TomatoArden]

see the http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=107394&page=3, permission has been asked of the authors to get it ported into arma 2. its mostly a case of cganging the config to use the sounds properly adn also to use OA pilots

[Ei8ght]

it would be real great if we can have the OV-10 Bronco for ARMA2 or OA as it is a plane of anti-guerrilla, the Armed Assault Mod goes on OA but impossible to mount in a few so if it is hot for us its a small config would be really great to see her in OA

Does Islands from ArmA1 work in Arma2?

no no no

(added 2 extra no's to cover board limit)

[Yokhanan]

What about that 2GB CAA thing or whatever it was called? Wasn't that suppose to allow you to play some A1 maps on A2 like Sahrani? Granted even if it is, it's still quite a hefty size just to play a handful of maps (if you're lucky). Maybe if you play SP stuff, but I doubt many out there will download all that on top of any other addons for MP.

Still, the new maps that are out there are way nicer anyways, heh. ;)

I tried this Ensk Island for ArmA1 in ArmA2. it works good, but some missing objects. Result; I added some objects:p

Does Islands from ArmA1 work in Arma2?

I was able to get the A.C.E. Island Pack from ArmA 1 to work with ArmA 2. It didn't really look all that great…not up to ArmA 2 quality standards by any means. But it does give you a lot of kewl islands to play around on.

On another note. Does anyone know how to get the Gst Vf-1s Valkyrie to stay in fighter mode in ArmA 2? Or at least switch back to fighter mode? Once I get up off the ground it always wants to switch into Gerwalk mode and stay that way. It just won't switch back no matter what I try. It's a really kewl addon and I love the cockpit, but I just can't seem to get that function to work.

I'm a big fan of sci-fi addons and always loved the Wanzers (walking battle tanks) in OFP. Think any of those could be ported into ArmA 2?

At this point I'd almost be willing to pay someone to update the Vf-1s transformation to work properly in ArmA 2. That addon looks so kewl flying around in this video.

but you had mistakes in them, as i remember in FireGeoLOD , cause fire hit points (for example head) was above model
shooting in head where it is visible was not harming units, while AI knew where to shoot

this addon was great, i played with it many times, but please check again all not-visible LODs (Fire Geo, Geometry... )
