how to include OA/Arma2 islands?

[JumpingHubert]

I tried the normal method but toh didn´t start. What do i need from the arma2/oa addon folder?

-mod= does work, partially.
I started with @isla_duala and @lingor, they were present in the Expansions screen but not present in the Island list.

yes, I tried it with a couple of single island too and get same results. Maybe the lack of regular arma2-addons.

True. Addon of an island itself usualy does not contain models of all objects that were placed on the map.

Collecting the files required to use the original A2/OA islands.
Currently I've got Chernarus and Utes:

This gives a few issues with the UI (menu etc).
UI.pbo is required by Misc.pbo, which is required by some of the Island addons.
Didn't look yet if they are only required by the islands themselves and not the objects (in that case it would be fine for 3rd party addons probably).
Will look later for improvements.

OA original islands is harder, as the original pbo's require version > 1.01 of application

Warning Message: Addon CA_E_ParticleEffects requires version 1.04 of application.
Warning Message: Addon CA_E requires version 1.02 of application.
Warning Message: Addon Desert_E requires version 1.02 of application.
Warning Message: Addon Takistan requires version 1.02 of application.

At the next patch the 1.02 requirement is probably resolved, but 1.04 should take longer... That error might actually not be a problem.

thanks sickboy, I will try it later!

Maybe BIS should add a launch string key like "-ignoreversionerr" or something?

[MadDogX]

And add a "requiredBuild" attribute to the configs so that requiredVersion can be phased out. Comparing build numbers would make more sense.

Good idea since as I see both Take On's and ArmA 2's builds go hand in hand

Hehe, awesome. Bet they didn't see that one coming.
