Is Modding Disabled?

[KBourne]

Either that, or get permission to replicate those parts of CBA that I need

Ah O.k. well I hope you will get either permission or CBA gets converted then, I think this will be a definitely + not only for the effects in IF but also when modders get some movement in addons towards Iron Front a little this all might fade down a bit

kind regards

What does it mean of hiddenselectiontextures in the config file? Is it also for hidden choice?

...What I would now like to know is: how do I test my addons in IF? Is there some sort of local addon testing I can do without sending my completely untested addon off for evaluation...

you need to test your addon unpacked. in terms of workflow, it needs to be done in A2.

I dont think your being fair at all , not you alone of coures.

BIS will have thought of all scenarios too dont forget , its not all about the makers of this Franchise , Imagine already there would be DAYZ mod in this engine , BIS will soon hopefully make a good bit of revenue from it on there Engine and tthat will Pass too A3 development hopefully . This is just one Reason i imagine for such stringent Licences and also TOH rearmed content etc .
You really need to look at the Bigger Financial and Buisness implications before thinking like Hobbyist modder who cannot use BIS engine free and easy , because at moment some Posts here seem absolutely like Child living in a world without consequence who must have his candy , his way .

I'm sorry but the question concerning modding and licenses didn't fell out of the sky (which is the exactly the impression I get from the released statements) and should have been solved months prior release.

If a company pays no attention to legal background it shouldn't be in business.

Out of line mate.
I purchase the game 90% on the basis I could add content as a hobbyist. I was mislead by the developers. Sure, they didn't specifically say that there'd be hoops to jump through, but why would I have suspected that when the BIS tools I already have !!!

And as for growing some balls, back at ya.
I ENJOY being a hobbyist, with my own subject matter, my own schedule, not someone elses.
And I have a RL job that pays better than a risky game developer endeavour. I also have a RL mortgage to keep in check.

ArmA2AO hasn't crashed on me in MANY months, even with the select beta.
This thing crashes every time I turn my head!
Bloody annoying all over.

BS

Amen (as much as my atheism allows), although I didn't buy the game to mod it but enjoy the potential now never to be created mods.

That's such bullshit. Isn't this supposed to be a standalone RV engine product? Why the flying fuck do I need another game to test my addons in?

If we cannot mod this game without using another product that is supposed to have nothing to do with this game, then IF should have been a DLC or mod of ArmA 2.

They asked for the right to use engine and create there own scenario , who know if they are not in negotiation after stability for tool license ? , for now they have obtain an ok to test in arma series , send to them vor vetting and addon is in, I can't see why or where this , Henny Penny we can't modify at all ,the end is nigh is from ? It's pure misinformation and terrible propaganda.
There is bigger legal problems than we know I'm sure but already they have at least made some compromise .

Simple answer to IR 1944, no mod allowed, no buying of the game, saving $$$ for ArmA 3.

Looks like this mess got a mention in RPS.

An Arma-based game without full, unfettered mod support is like a WW2 fighter without forward-firing armaments.

Is there any news about this or progress?

Shame, this could have been great...
