Enjoy the scenery in the CAA1 gallery (http://caa1.arma-creations.com/gallery/CAA1/ats00000.htm), the 5040x1050 gallery by thales100 (http://caa1.arma-creations.com/gallery/CAA1%20by%20thales100/ats-sld-00000.htm)
and the community made promo videos (http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/cbp-caa1/Promo_videos).

# Download

IMPORTANT - Sorry the server is next to exploding from the pressure.

Please wait for mirrors or try the torrent instead. Thank you!

In the download section (http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/cbp-caa1/HowToDownloadReleases) you can download CAA1 as installer via torrent or HTTP, or
via HTTP single file download or Yoma Addon Sync 2009.
The later simplifies the possible future updating process a lot.

Be aware the download is 1.9/2.1 GB in total.
Unless you download only parts via YAS or the HTTP single file download.

Make sure to read, understand and agree to the license (http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/cbp-caa1/ARMA_SampleModels_readme)!

# Updates

CAA1 2009-09-06 update (http://dev-heaven.net/news/show/179)

# The future

Essentially the project is now in the community, in Your hands!
You are the ones to make use of it, enjoy, play it!

The main intention of the project along with OAC (http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/oac) and OFPIP (http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/kmp-ofpip) is to make OFP and ArmA I
top quality missions and campaigns available in ArmA II.
While it is less work compared to start from the scratch, tweaking mission gameplay to the micro AI,
the rather small effort to adapt scripts to ArmA II standard and similar tasks it is still work.

A job that needs as much as helping hands as possible!

Head over to project OAC (http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/oac) to find out more about it and replay great campaigns in the future like
Cold War Crisis, Queen's Gambit Royal Flush and The Cause - Chapter I again in the beauty of ArmA II!

# Credits

Sincere thanks to BI for their okay for the project!
Thanks to modEmMaik, Sickoy, Yoma, the-f, Mopar and to the countless of helping hands!

Enjoy. :)

kju - I've only been a member of this community for a short while, but whenever I see a post with your name on it, I know I'm in for a treat. Thank you so much for spending your time on mods that we can all enjoy, free of charge. As for this project, I'll be installing it as soon as I've got a few hours to spare, but I'm sure it'll be amazing.

I downloaded all the files via Yoma, took forever but I must be missing something.

I added your Mods CAA1 and OFP and the mission FlyLikeAnEagle but no Sara map comes up? What am I missing?

Cole

Aug 24 2009, 13:43

If I'm going to download through YAS, could anyone please tell me what addons do I need for (custom) islands to work?
I'd rather download only those, so I can get A1 islands working in A2, thats all I need.

TheHandsy

Aug 24 2009, 14:21

Strange, I downloaded the key main files awhile back for Avgani to work. And now I've downloaded all the map files for the official A1 islands to work, along with the enable files. But when I start ArmA 2 up it says that enable_worlds blah blah needs to be version 1.3.

Any ideas?

EDIT -
This is the error message I get when starting up Arma2.

What the... it's 1.02, I thought I had 1.03, I'll go download it. >_>

Kr3v

Aug 24 2009, 14:38

In order to install custom islands, do we have to put them in E:\Bohemia Interactive\x\caa1\addons or E:\Bohemia Interactive\@custommaps ?

Thank you for your work, it's awesome.

I've found some dynamic shadow problems while playing in Porto. I've taken some screenshots if it can help you :

The shadow appears even if you don't look at the building.

In my case turning shadows to "High" fixed all the issues you are having.
Btw, thanks to all the people who have worked hard to bring these islands to A2!

Well I have a Problem downloading the Installer HTTP File from
http://caa1.arma-creations.com/download/CAA1_2009-08-21.exe.
It only says

Not Found

The requested URL /download/CAA1_2009-08-21.exe was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

What can I do. And by the way are you really going to transfer even the official OPF and Arma1 Campaigns+ Add-ons to Arma 2? Did I understand that in the right way?

NOOO!! Server is down!! Any mirrors already?

One question

Have the AI's roads pathfinding problems been already fixed???
I'm very interested on it.

You guys are working very hard and getting great results for the community!!! Thanks a lot.

Sorry no. AI cant use roads, just tried it.

As V3 is released now and AI can use roads on Pollo (Goeths island) is it possible to fix now?

Kr3v

Aug 24 2009, 17:15

Thanks GvsE, this shadow problem is solved :)

Avgani seems to work fine for me but not PMC. Do you plan to make a compatibility list of the custom maps in the future ?

Also, how do you do to have the snowy climate ?

kju

Aug 24 2009, 17:19

@ vengeance1

Please tell us your -mod= line and did you keep the setup of YAS or did you move the files.

@ Cole

Try to read this item of the FAQ (http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/cbp-caa1/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#Why-so-much-files-it-is-2-gigabyte-to-download) and see if you get what you need.

@ Kr3v

Any new modfolder will do for more (ArmA I) addons. Just make sure to load the oac core
addon and CAA1 along.

And yes please use high or very high shadows. It is unlikely to see this fixed. Just too much effort.

There is already a thread here in BIF and at armedassault.info about addon compatibility. :)

The snowy climate was made via NIM weather I think.

If you find bugs, please report them in the CAA1 (http://dev-heaven.net/projects/cbp-caa1/issues) or OAC (http://dev-heaven.net/projects/oac/issues) (mission related ones) issue tracker.

@ Bushlurker

Cheers mate! Already added you to the mission thread in the OAC forum.
How about making a new thread in BIF here to get more attention in addition?

@ Woolridge

Deano, Gnat and others are doing good research on the new world file format and v3.
Once it is known how to fix it, we will!

@ Tonci87

Project OAC already ported the CWC campaign, among several others to ArmA I.
If these and more see the light in ArmA II, is all up to the community to give a hand. :)

Ok I am definately not getting it, must not had enough coffee. :rolleyes:

Yoma created a folder called "x" sub folders caa1 and oac. Doesn't sound right to me.

What should YOMA had created for folders in my ARMA2 Directory?

I have tried several -mod lines

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2.exe" -mod=caa1;oac_core -nosplash

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2.exe" -mod=caa1;oac -nosplash

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2.exe" -mod=x -nosplash

What is it suppose to look like? Do I have to load the Sara Map from ARMA1? :crazy_o:

Hello,

I would like to know what is position of Bis regarding this Addon, in epoch my friend Slayertom has asked question Placebo which had answered

"no, that's no acceptable as it means people who didn't buy Armed Assault could get access to Armed Assault content"

The position of BIS in you it changed from that time?
Sorry for my poor English :(
Thank you in advance;)

ArmA 2 settings:

Visibility: ~2500
Interface res.: 1280 x 1024 (75 Hz)
3D res.: 1280 x 1024

Texture detail: Normal
Video memory: Normal

Terrain detail: Very low
Objects detail: Normal
Shadow detail: Normal
Postprocess effects: Disabled
(HDRPrecision=8)
(localVRAM=522706688)
(nonlocalVRAM=258998271)

Specs:
Mainboard : Asus P5KC
Chipset : Intel P31/P35
Processor : Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 @ 3000 MHz
Physical Memory : 4096 MB (2 x 2048 DDR2-SDRAM PC2-6400 (399 MHz) - [DDR2-800])
Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
Operating System : Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.01.2600 Service Pack 3
DirectX : Version 9.0c (march 2009)
Nvidia Forceware : 6.14.11.8250

I tried this both on Nvidia version 182.50, which I've used up until yesterday, and 190.62 just to see if that helped at all. No changes, not even when changing settings. But I am quite confident that this is a ArmA II engine problem.

Right, just tried the Mission Generator on Sahrani, had to move the insertion point as otherwise it inserts into the sea, but no problems with that. Other than that, it worked flawlessly, right up to the point where a Hind rocketed the absolute *&%$ out of me. :)

Kju & Co, thanks for an awesome effort! Great to return to Sharani, Chernarus is nice but a resource-hog ATM and I really start to miss the little bigger "cities".

To bad the AI can't use the roads/bridges but hope there will be a solution for it. Again kudos to you and everyone else making this happen and thanks to BIS for allowing you to do so!

PS: The torrent is maxing my line ~2.5 MBit so if anyone have problems try that.

First few words, say it's ok. :)

For what i understand there is no answer of the questions of voodoo or the official position of BIS on this url, just a thanks from the author to BIS and a license.

I asked to placebo if we can host these files when the first version of this addon come out and he answer the sentence that voodoo quote.

No that's not acceptable as it means people who didn't buy ArmA1 could get access to ArmA1 content.

I know my english is really bad :) but i understand we can't host this addons on ours servers because players who don't have arma1 can download this addons who contain armed assault 1 original but maybe we didn't understood correctly?

@ Voodoonice

We got the permission from the project leader of ArmA II.
If BI revokes that now, we will put the Queen's Gabmit part offline of course.
The rest of ArmA I is available in the sample license and therefore free to port
to any BI title.
Of course if you see it strict, BI didn't give out the permission to allow all file
types needed for it (sample models include mainly models, not textures, sounds, configs, etc).
Yet that would have made many addons in OFP and ArmA I not possible as well.

Placebo got the chat log via mail.

@ Kr3v

First of try to lower your VD, try different terrain grid values (grass settings),
lower your video memory. If the problem persists, please make a bug
report in the CAA1 project space.
There is a chance that crashes are related to the worlds not fully being to
the ArmA II wrp format.

@ Simon C

I assume this is due the missing ArmA II specific armory / SOM values.
Also some modules need location definitions in the configs.

To Kju,

I have direct port of Xeno's current version of The Longest day A2 1.04 back to the original Arma 1 island Sahrani. But I can't play with it on my own dedicated server. Because it always show "You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted. extra_vehicles". But I have checked my mission.sqm file the "extra_vehicles" is in mission.sqm addons and addons auto list.

However I deleted or entry "extra_vehicles" in mission.sqs but thin problen still show up in after server crashed.

I cannot play this mission after update the new(2009_08_22) CAA1 and OAC. But I could play it for previous CAA1 and OAC as well. So can you help? Thanks

Bushlurker

Aug 26 2009, 01:46

@MonsterXXX

I've just checked my CAA1 files and I don't have an "extra vehicles" file...
This sounds like a leftover dependency from the previous CAA1 version - make a backup just in case, then try deleting the entry for "extra_vehicles" from both the "Addons" and "addons auto" list at the beginning of your mission.sqm...

Remember the last item in the lists dont have a comma "," after it!

Then re-pbo and give it a go....

@ kju

hi mate, listen, a couple of questions, can you tell me what changed from the beta-private version and this public release?

I mean they all work, and look extremely awesome

but I "feel" like I lost the gained extra FPS by using arma1 islands

did you guys improved the landscape textures? or upgraded buildings?

what would I lose if I return to the pre-release version?

regards

kju

Aug 26 2009, 06:23

@ MonsterXXX

See comment in the ticket you created. :)

@ waffen

Nothing too drastically apart from compressing the textures with a2 tools available now,
and compress models with the new binarizes (m113, ka50).

So really you should not see a FPS difference. More likely some slight improvement
due to the way better texture compression (unless this is the problem).

Did you try without no other addons than CAA1 and OAC core?

caa1 rocks kju, thnx for this. performance is amazing. all my mods work, but like the guy above, the little birds do not appear in the editor. but they do work if u copy n paste them from another mission oddly.

I can see another problem here. Can you please post your mission or the class name of
the chopper.

I noticed that all the units have English voices. Even the Russians and Chernarussians. I often play with Russian units so it feels strange to hear them using English with American accent. Other than that great job with the addon!

Updated the OAC core to fix the littlebirds issue among some other small ones.
Update via YAS or the HTTP single file download.

Make sure to delete the old oac_core_DATE.pbo either via "delete extra files" in YAS
or by going to .\arma2\x\oac\oac_core\addons and remove the old PBO in there.

@ Dogmeat of Finland

Do you say even ArmA II units are changed? Can you please post a short sample
mission to see the problem with and without CAA1. Thanks.

Is that latest OAC core (to fix littlebirds) working right? ArmA Addon Sync 2009 installed it to: .\arma2\x\oac\oac_core\x\oac\oac_core\addons\

And it dosent suggest to remove the old oac_core files from 20.8

I used Addonsync to update the game and the little birds now show up in the editor in correct places. I don't have the old core files in the oac_core folders.

The voice problem still remains and I called my friend who downloaded the addon and he also reported the same thing. When I add units from CDF, Independent or Opfor side they just use English but my own character does speak the correct language. If I start Arma 2 without this addon the voices work just fine so the problem only exists for me in this mod. Does anyone else have this problem?

I made two example missions using the island Utes.

Same here. :confused:

Sorry messed up the files. Please update again.

KeyCat

Aug 26 2009, 14:30

Thanks for the update Kju now the AH-6/MH-6 shows up in the editor but when I place an empty AH-6 it shows up as a UH1 in game? I downloaded the latest OAC core manually and deleted the old one.

When exiting Rhamadi from the editor I have a CTD with the following error...

Include file ca\introAnims\data\scenes\intro.intro\rscCommon.hp p not found.

Also, I CTD badly (requires a hard reset!) if I try to ALT-TAB to desktop with the CAA1-mod loaded, works fine if I don't load CAA1.

Thanks again for your hard work! Being able to revisit Sharani etc. with ArmA II is awesome, not to mention the FPS gained on thoose islands compared to Chernarus ;)

Same problem here. I downloaded via addonsync and used the remove extra files tab. Strange thing is though when I highlight it with space bar is does call it a MH6 even though its the UH1

Just installed CAA and started getting strange freezes every 5 minutes or so (the game freezes for about 5 secs, sometimes once, sometimes keeps freezing and unfreezing). Don't know if it's related to this add-on yet, but thought I should mention.

EDIT: sorry for the false alarm. Looks like it turned out to be a mulfunctioning anti-virus (every explosion would instantly bring the game to a hault). I have since uninstalled it and hunted down the makers.

@ MonsterXXX

OAC core contains extra_vehicles. You are using the ZU23_RU vehicle from extra_vehicles.
Either you need to remove it or install the oac core to your server as well.

@ KeyCat

OAC core is only a class mapping addon. The littlebirds are not part of CAA1 so far.
The other addon uses a different class tree and therefore make not work well with CAA1.

For some reason binarize/rapify drops that file. Fixed in later tonights update. Thanks
for the report!

@ Spike 21

FLIR addon is not part of CAA1 or OAC. Must be another addon.

@ Jedo

Make sure to run only CAA1 and OAC to verify this.
And old version of CBA is known for this problem for example.

Just an update for my previous report about CTD's with CAA1 loaded. Thanks to a post (http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=1411489&postcount=14) made by IceBreakr I learn't that this could happen when using old ArmA I clutter configs, and indeed I had played around with PROPER_SgtAceIslandSetting.pbo. After I removed that one I have no more CTD when ALT-TAB'ing even i CAA1 is loaded. Go figure, the problem was induced by myself and not CAA1, sorry if I had some of you scratching your heads ;)

However I did find another minor issue that most likely is an engine thing, this may be old news for you but I include it anyway.

When foggy the fences (and partly roads) in distance looks like above, note that the same fence looks perfectly fine up close.

OAC core contains extra_vehicles. You are using the ZU23_RU vehicle from extra_vehicles.
Either you need to remove it or install the oac core to your server as well.

-I was deleted the ZU23_RU the mission working now. I think ZU23_RU have some conflict with extra_vehicles file. Because when you put the ZU23_RU on the mission and even entry extra_vehicles in the mission.sqm list the server still kick you out and pop "You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted. extra_vehicles"

-The M113 Vulcan's point of impact is very weird you should check it out.

---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 AM ----------

Schmalfeden map works perfect for me. Uhao does not. It pops up with a box saying "version 1.08 required".

You are right. No infantry addons. i.e. SIMHQ, nem_zombies, yomies, etc...

Bushlurker

Aug 27 2009, 03:12

I had Uhao almost completely working apart from one missing texture error and a bit of wierd "distance artifacting"... I'll report on the "other islands" section of the site...

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b272/Bushlurker/uhao_tex.jpg

(meantime if you open the island .pbo - de-rapify the config.bin to a config.cpp and just change the "required version" line to 1.03 and re-pbo - it should load and work mostly fine....)

I got rid of every extra addon I have but the damn Russians still speak English :D. Am I missing something here or are they supposed to do that? I have once changed the voices in FDF mod from Finnish to English and it was rather easy since you only had to copy paste some lines in the config file. Maybe the same would work here.

@ KeyCat

Good to hear. We will keep this in mind for the clutter replacement addon. :)
The white thing at drawing distance is an engine problem with alpha textures indeed.

@ MonsterXXX

Good to hear! Well the Vulcan spread quite much. Personally I like that. :P

@ papoose244

You can only have addons in MP, if either a server allows them (via the key) or allows
any use of addon (can be abused by cheaters).

@ Punisher5555

If you look at the infantry conversion thread here in BIF, infantry addon conversion
seems quite doable though. Yet needs MLOD models and some insights.

@ Bushlurker

This can be seen on some other worlds as well. People are trying to figure out why
and how to solve it. Probably one needs to use a2 tools to convert them properly.

@ Dogmeat of Finland

I was not able to reproduce your problem with the supplied mission. For me both
with and without the units had Russian voices and the text was English.
Do you use the latest OAC core and deleted all former versions?

@ Alpha9

Several fixes and improvements, like use of a2 tools.

@ papoose244

Just copy any ArmA I mission to your ArmA II missions folder, load CAA1 and OAC core,
and see how it goes. :)

papoose244

Dogmeat of Finland

Aug 27 2009, 13:30

Thanks for the answer. Atleast now I know the problem is at my end. I have shared some addons with my friend who also has the same bug. Maybe I have missed something when removing the extra addons. I'll try reinstalling next.

Edit: Yeah I got it working! I uninstalled the whole addon thingy and then reinstalled. I used the addon sync tool and removed any extra addons and updated and now the voices work properly. I have no idea what caused the voice problem at the first place.

Yep stock ArmA mission have a habit of not working correctly. But with a little bit of finetuning they will work very nice. I 'converted' most A1 scenarios which should work without any major problem.

Not realy sure whats BIS policy about 'converting' missions/campaigns. Still OFP content was converted to A1 so i think it's not a real issue.

If i get clearance i'll post a link ;)

Kju, what do you think the minimum required files are to run Afghan Village on a multiplayer server? I would imagine you can remove the files for Sahrani and Porto etc, but is there a published list anywhere? It would be easier for the people planning to play on this server if they didn't have to download the whole thing. :)

Aug 27 2009, 20:51

well you need to test Simon C
not much as it has its own buildings and objects

try afghan village + oac core
next add buildings, misc, roads, rocks, data3d
if not, add signs, plants

make sure to load the caa1_opx addons along i posted in the OAC forum

I figured out why my arma 1 missions in Arma 2 where crashing with this error ErrorMessage: File description.ext, line 60: /CfgMusic/: Missing '}'
its cause of this mission M09ConvoyAttack.Sara.pbo without it all the others work except the ones locked in Arma 1 there locked in Arma 2 aswell.

As for Campaigns i made a Campaigns folder in Arma 2 and put the ramadi conflict (Merc.pbo) and it works as for royal flush the begining scene works but when the mission starts I get this error cannot load texture ca/characters/data/tvreport_body_co.paa and the games ctd.The armed assault campaign also crashed at the start with this error config :some input after EndOfFile

Hope someone can figure out how to get the campaigns to work.

Making some decent progress on the A1 campaign. Biggest issues to overcome still is the AI on roads (game breaking for some missions) and probably need to rewrite how the previous mission state is saved. The rest is working pretty nicely already. Could always use some extra help with betatesting the campaign, finetune missions for MicroAI and assisting with script issues. Feel free to drop by the OAC spot @ devheaven to sign up :)

Heh don't u love the way Vista preloads setups which require administrator rights :/ I suggest disabling UAC or start the exe from a command box (with full admin rights). U can also try the YAS method of downloading it's pretty neat for checking updates to.

Its the nature of the engine to display the "cutscene intro" (if any), of the currently loaded world after you exit the editor... (if theres no cutscene, I think it just shows the world)... It shows wherever you were last - in other words... been like that since OFP if I remember correctly...
If you don't like it for some reason, the easiest way to fix it is to click on "load - Utes - New Mission - OK - THEN exit the editor = sorted

There's also OFPIP (http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/kmp-ofpip)... if you installed CAA1 using the ezee Yoma Sync route you'll find it to be an identical (and MUCH smaller) autodownload... that'll give you just about every OFP island I can remember... working in Arma2 in just the same way CAA1 does (NB: Islands only - no units) there's a LOT... - Theres a Mission Repository too.....

Hi

Thanks for this Project.

I've been trying several arma1 mods. Some give me a error message when entering arma2. Like this: Addon "XXXXX" requires version "X.XX" of application.
Do this refers that the addon is looking for the version "X.XX" of the arma1 executable?

Is there any easy walk around to this?

Thanks

PLebre

Bushlurker

Aug 29 2009, 03:12

you're 100% correct...!
First thing to try is to de-pbo the addon... somewhere in there you'll see a "config.cpp" or, more likely, a "config.bin" file...
(If it's a "config.bin" you'll need a "derapify" tool to convert it to a .cpp - which you can open in notepad...)
Somewhere near the beginning of the config you'll find a "required version=" line... change that to "1.03" - pbo the addon back up again and give it another try - there will almost certainly be other issues depending on the addon you're playing with, but that should at least get it loaded.....

Hi,

Sorry if this is repetitive, but I just installed the CAA1 mod...the islands are absolutely gorgeous with the exception of a few incidences where some of the shadows appear to be underground and weird and such.

HOWEVER, I noticed that the Russian soldiers speak in English. I thought that was just me hearing things initially, but then I loaded Utes and put myself and two other Russian soldiers on the island and the same problem re-surfaced: my character speaks Russian, and the Russians respond with the appropriate English text, but the voice in English too instead of Russian. I don't have any other addons or mod folders being run in addition to the CAA1, and this problem goes away if I don't initialize ArmA 2 with the CAA1 mod. Can somebody tell me what's wrong, or, better yet, how I can fix this problem? Thanks in advance! :bounce3:

Use high or very high shadows.

that makes it happen here too, not much I can do. :)

@ Soupdragon

In short yes. Of course you can try to DL one by one and see once you get it to work,
yet that requires at least a basic understanding of the inner details.

Yep, I seem to have the same problem.

I was not able to replicate the voice problem. So unless someone gives me a repro
that makes it happen here too, not much I can do.

Here is a simple way that I have used to replicate the problem, just load an island (any will do), add a Mi-24, set the player as gunner, the special to flying and just add a simple move waypoint wherever you want. You'll notice that your character speaks russian but the chopper pilot speaks english.

In several tests I ran, it seems that the group/vehicle leader speaks using the Male01EN voice.

Hopefully that'll help.

Give this (http://www.kellys-heroes.eu/files/tutorials/dedicated/) a good read - especially "Stage Four" - which covers the command line stuff, including adding mods...

You should end up with something like this in your arma2server.exe shortcut...

Server---mod=x\caa1,x\oac\oac_core -world=sara is (almost) fine... use the semicolon... ; between mod entries, like this...

For the Server... -mod=x\caa1;x\oac\oac_core;@anothermod;@etc

For the Client... don't use "-mod=" twice... string the mods out one after the other seperated by semicolons only, just the same way as the example above...

Secondly... on the mod front, if you're using the beta (remember client and server must match versions!)... the beta needs launched as a modfolder as well - and its best if its first... so if you're using the beta, use...

-mod=beta;x\caa1;x\oac\oac_core;@somethingelse;@etc

Also - you don't really need -world=Sara on either machine - basically all that does is load Sara (Sahrani) as the "startup world"... on the client, for example - the game would boot to main menu with the Sahrani cutscene behind... of course, if thats what you want - cool!

PS - while you're usually stuck with command line fuss for server modfolders, etc, for the client - since that's where you tend to try out lots of different stuff and configurations in SP mode - it can be REALLY handy to use a launcher... check out Alpinestars one in "Addons & Mods Complete" - its pretty impressive and will allow you to switch client configurations with a few clicks...
(it supports freetrack too! - even has a wee clickable "?" :D)

kk,thanx for the tips we'll try what you suggested, in ArmA1 editing i always had the same thinghappen when I'd try to load a map without the addons on the server an it would do the same thing(got me thinking) so wander if i missed a file maybe. I just copied all the files from my client install then loaded via the ftp from those from my client(took forever) lol.

I have a problem and i need some help:

I already downloaded the file and decompressed it in a folder. Though i think i lost some small files.

I have the islands files but i think i miss some that goes in the ArmA2 original root folder.
I might lost those files because i had to unistall and install the game.

can someone please direct me to the files that appear in ArmA2 root or a readme file? i don't think its really needed to download the Pack again unnecessary.

Edit: I remove question.

@ vengeance1

Weird. Best contact Yoma yourself and make a ticket in his project space:
http://dev-heaven.net/projects/show/yoma-addonsync2009
http://dev-heaven.net/account/show/38

@ AndeUSMC

It is only a warning. No error. You can safely ignore this one. No need to change the
PBO for it (unless it annoys you :)).

@ Call_911

Can you please provide the server's rpt/log.

@ AliMag

This should be fixed. Do you use the latest files from YAS?

Improved configs for Schmalfelden and Podaga.
Again ugly process:

1. You need to unpack pbo
2. Delete all config.bin/cpp inside.
3. Repack.
4. Load these new addons along.

Kju i tried to install Podaga but i think im doing something wrong.

should i use all files from FDF part I and copy them in addons or just these?
FDF_isle1_c
FDF_isle1_c.pbo.FDF.bisign

Sep 3 2009, 08:42

Hmm ... we tested a quick an dirty import to use Dreide with CAA1 and it works :yay:

(With an modified Version of the ArmA1 MAP_EU called yet MAP_OU and corrected pathes to this i have to say ;) )

Of cause there are some errors :
- 2 texture outputs from the 5t-Truck in the industry district and the UH60Wreck in the junkyard
- some objects aren't there (one ore two barrel types and some corrugated iron parts)

The rest works without any trouble, but some of the BIS object rework have a shifted position which doesn't look ideal.

Btw. @CAA1 Team
Atm i work on a small overhauled version of the MAP_SouthSahrani and i have detected that the oil pumps didn't work.
Maybe you should replace the base object with the object from the hotfix and remove this form the hotfix.

It seems that the original hotfix does anything very special. :confused:

kju

Sep 3 2009, 10:47

Good to hear Lester.

Possible to get more details on the problems.
In the merge of misc and buildings with a2 files, I gave the later predominance.
What I do for those with conflicts, is to put the a1 files in a new pbo and repath to these.

I am happy to replace the oil pumps. Do have model or class names by chance?

Try to move out all your missions on the server from MPMissions first.

Well as long as no one gives me a proper demo missions and repro steps, there will be no

So only I get this? Shit. I tried without any mods, just CAA1 and I still get this, so I guess its not coused by other mods. I placed a russian squad in editor and assign my self as leader. I tell them to fall in (my guys says it in russian) and then my N0 2 says Roger (in english). Should I make a small mission and send it to you or something? So you can test it if you get this too.

Is it my imagination but is there more detail on Avgani. Seems like there is more vegetation in town. There is also a small hamlet on the map in the NE corner of the map that I dont recall seeing. Also on the Arma maps I get a missing weather horizon error when I enter the maps and when I exit it drops me straight to desktop. Great stuff other than this.

Disable it in configs for the world and see if it works.

CAA1 2009-09-06 update (http://dev-heaven.net/news/show/179)

Any chance of a version number system for servers to use in the title?

Ie CAA1/OAC 0.001 , a bit troublesome syncing a dedicated server with clients and vice versa with either the 2gb installer or Addon server.

http://arma2.swec.se/game/data/2293158

Dedicated server running CAA1 Sahrani , using last Fridays version :D

Excellent mod sahrani is a much better land, well done on creating the mod.

Sep 7 2009, 06:41

Look at the sign file date stamp to get the version.

What title do you mean? Easiest way to sync is to use YAS for both client and server. :)

Sep 7 2009, 10:03

Good to see performance-friendly CAA1 islands! :)
Found some issues:
- missing menus like "Air", "Tanks" etc under SLA (like it is for US Army and RACS)
- all M113, M163 (Vulcan) drivers view is wrong
- on all AH6, MH6 the front light is always on

- missing weapon, special weapon and ammo boxes (for USArmy, SLA, RACS) filled with ArmA(CAA1) only gear
- Camel (civil) texture too dark
- SP mission 09: Commander - team start without weapons

Why there are M60 and CarlGustav etc in gear selection - wouldnt it better to hide OAC (OFP) stuff until "its done"?

Cyborg11

Sep 7 2009, 10:34

Found some issues:
- missing menus like "Air", "Tanks" etc under SLA (like it is for US Army and RACS)

These menus only appears when you have Tanks / Air Vehicles for the SLA. ;)

- all M113, M163 (Vulcan) drivers view is wrong
It's not only a CAA1 bug. It's an ArmA 2 issue ;)
Look here (http://dev-heaven.net/issues/show/4158) and here (http://dev-heaven.net/issues/show/2187#note-3).

- on all AH6, MH6 the front light is always on
Really? Will have a look at my standalone release. If there isn't this bug then it was kju's fault :D

- Camel (civil) texture too dark

It's not a bug it's only the clear-empty.paa texture because I didn't have a reskin for the civ camel at the moment. But I think it looks good :yay:

Personally I wonder why they aren't in the faction SLA. Right now, every SLA vehicle is in the faction of Russia.

Dimitri_Harkov

Sep 7 2009, 11:40

@Legislator:

You must have an old or corrupted version of CAA1. There are no SLA vehicles under the 'Russia' tab. The ArmA1 vehicles that are part of CAA1 are in their correct 'SLA', 'US Army' and 'RACS' tabs.

@CAA1-team/contributers:

Thanks for the update and the great support.

Cheers, D.

[GLT] Legislator

now i cant download anything after a restart.remote server error..503

mh after some tries it loads,but do u really have to load the core files and stuff again like sara_lite??

kju

Sep 7 2009, 18:48

Well the server is overloaded. Just a certain number of connections at a time possible.
Patience or to mirror the YAS FTP are the only good suggestions I can give you. ;)

It is up to you what you load. In YAS you can select via the checkboxes are syncing.

Himmelsfeuer

Sep 7 2009, 18:53

Mh..Let me ask like that..
Does it make sense to download everything?specially the Core Files and Island files..?or will there be an update in big size soon?
And if u downloaded the new updates will it automaticly start with the CAA1 shortcut or do u have to start with yoma?
sry for the many questions but its a bit confusing..

Cionara

Sep 7 2009, 19:15

Is that all Update Stuff,is it that much?

I had downloaded my CAA1 Version 13th of July and got the same amount of changed and new files like you. I'm downloading it again while I post this. If you get enough time just download it, better then having some old files and bugs or whatever ;D

kju

Sep 7 2009, 20:43

If you want to reduce it more, you can split BI ArmA PBOs. :)

Armoredfury193

Sep 8 2009, 04:28

Well this is just great....finally finished downloading all of the files with the AddonSync Tool, everything downloaded successfully and the tool lists everything as "OK."

But as soon as I launch ArmA 2 (Using the properly modified target line and everything) I get a little window that pops up and tells me that Addon oac_core requires version 1.03 of the application. To be honest, I can't get the damn patch 1.03 to install correctly so I was hoping I could stick with 1.02 until 1.04 is released. Is there no other way to run CAA1/OAC with ArmA2 patched to 1.02? Or is 1.03 required for it to work?

The game launches after I exit out of the window, but the CAA1 content is nowhere to be seen in the editor options (still just Utes and Chernarus for islands) or anywhere else for that matter.

kju

Sep 8 2009, 07:06

Just ignore it. It is only a warning on game startup. Nothing to worry about.
At least it was that way in OFP and ArmA I. :)

Yes, I have all of the files installed correctly...my problem isn't the error message necessarily, just the fact that the game doesn't detect any of the content from the mod...no Sahrani or other maps, units, nothing.

Hi kju, what is the current situation for the roads? Anyone working on solving that issue and if so are there any progress/hope?

Another question, will you release an "island only pack"? I would love that!

kju

Sep 8 2009, 16:25

No progress from what I am aware of. Some world devs said that they are up to something.
Either it turn out well or they just didn't share it.
Pretty sure it can be solved though. No real difference between a1 and a2 WRP known
so far in that regard. Maybe someone can try to replace the a1 with a2 roads?

Via YAS you can easily download the files you want. The wiki has some basic information
what is needed for the worlds.

Sep 8 2009, 16:47

Sorry but I can't figure out what to DL on the DH site? I'm don't use Yoma's so I'd like to just DL all the files at once. I DL'd the most recent oac file, I think, but what about the CAA1 files. There's a ton of them, do I need to go through and click on everyone separately? Isn't there just a .rar or .7z pack with all the updated files?

Sorry about this dumb question, the DH site always leaves me confused.
