Invasion 1944 v2.5 (CO)

[PacUK]

The first post didn't make that clear at all. It says to install in the Arma2 folder. They should change that.

That's because that's how the game is installed on my machine and as I wrote the instructions, they generally follow the methods I used. The fact is there's countless methods of getting ArmA2 Combined Operations installed, we can't cover every possible method of installation or know how you chose to install the game on your end so we cover the most common method, but there should be plenty of information there to be able to work out how to install the mod to your specific installation if you take some time to look.

Didn't mean to sound blunt there, i appreciate the work and the writeup.


I read through the first post and followed these instructions:

-7zip Archive-

1. Open the archive file with 7-Zip

2. Select the 'Extract' button.

3. In the 'Copy To' line paste you ArmA2 root folder e.g:

C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2

4. Click 'OK' to start extracting the contents. Once extracted you can close 7zip.

5. If you have not already, install CBA

for ARMA2:CO you just need to copy the @CBA folder to your ARMA2 directory e.g:

C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\@CBA

6. Run ArmA2: Combined Operations.

7. From the main menu select 'Expansions'.

8. Left click '@CBA' and press the 'Enable' button

9. Left Click '@I44CO' and press the 'Enable' button

10. Click 'OK'

11. A warning message will come up that the game needs to restart. Click 'OK'.

12. The game should now return to your desktop, and automatically restart the game with the mod loaded. You should notice the Invasion 1944 Loading screen if loaded correctly.

So this is why i installed everything in the Arma2 folder and not in the OA one.


Nevertheless, arma2 and all expansions are a pain the way it's setup. I've been around for plenty of years now and, as you see, even i don't get it 100% of the time. Let alone new players! :P

I was glad to read that the future patch of arma2 is going to put everything in 1 place.

Still can't get it to work! Not with- or without launcher anymore even!

Two folders:
\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2
\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead

Where do the main @I44CO folder and maps and keys go?

that should work

It did! Thanks, just played my first map online. Nightmission where you para jumped near an axis airfield and had to cap it. I was alone and didn't last long. But it looks very nice and feels immersive. I like that.

The german voices i find are not so good. Soldiers outside were calling for backup etc to eachother but it sounded like they all had the same voice, and were standing in a room. But i'm sure that such things are for future updates.

Hope to catch a good game maybe tomorrow!

A brief look at two new missions and a new map for our upcoming 2.6 update. The first is an air raid mission set on Chernarus where British and American fighter pilots are tasked with bombing and eliminating enemy positions. The second part features our new winter British commandos - and winter map "Merderet" - attempting to rescue downed POW pilots in a pow camp near the French-German Border.

I am so turned on right now.

When i try to use the weapon classnames (eg "I44_15rd_762x33_Mix_M1Carbine" etc) to fill an ammo box or with 'this addweapon' i get a config.bin error and no weapon showing in boxes?

Not sure if its been mentioned before or if it will be fixed in next release but thought id mention it.

Anyway awesome work, very impressive mod

I'm very impressed with the video but I can't help wondering whether focusing on fighter aircraft is worthy investment of your meagre resources.

While I'm all for more content, I think its fair to say that A2 is an infantry simulator above all else. It smells a little like mission creep.

Of course, if we do have the reources for more aircraft I dream of Lysanders dropping/picking-up SOE operatives, dropping/recovering arms & munitions from Halifaxes, parachuting Jedburghs from Carpetbaggers (black B-24s & C47s), etc.

Don't worry, I believe these guys got it all under control.
Btw, the immersive gameplay you get from being able to use all sorts of vehicles is what makes the ARMA series what it is if you ask me..
