Cold War Rearmed² Discussion

[W0lle]

That's right, as promised before work on Cold War Rearmed 2 has begun.

Our goal is once again to bring back the original islands, content and campaigns to ArmA II. In a first step we convert the CWR 1 content to ArmA II and make minor modifications/fixes where possible/needed.
Realism is not the goal here but 99% compatibility to existing OFP missions/campaigns.

Once that is done and working without major bugs, we take another step and try to make it more realistic - but without breaking the campaign. That means proper equipment, vehicles, textures, weapon values and so on as well as additional content that wasn't in OFP.
However nothing has been decided here yet - it's more like an idea. Both the "Cold War Rearmed 2" and the "Realistic Cold War Rearmed 2" should be as compatible as possible.

Cold War Rearmed 2 is a complete community project. There is no "elitism", no limited signup. Everyone with talents in modelling, textures, scripting is welcome to participate. We also keep up the donations from other Mods/Addonmakers as this worked perfectly well in the past - no need to reinvent the wheel while it's already rolling.

Right now we need the following people:

• Config expert for tweaking our weapon configs
• Website designer (creating the CWR2 website and Wiki pages)
• Texture artists (retexturing exisiting vehicles, creating new ones) - experienced ones only please
  
• Modellers (fixing and enhancing models, units) - experienced ones only please
• Scripters (converting all .sqs to .sqf)
• Terrain designers (fixing smaller issues with the old maps)
• A volunteer for briefings (creating multilanguage briefings/tasks)
• Expert for animations: Finding suitable replacement animations or convert/create old ones.
• Expert for cutscenes/intros (Fixing and enhancing the existing ones).
• Translators for: French, Spanish, Polish, Czech, Russian, Italian.

If you're interested in working with us, or if you have created something you think we could use - contact me either by PM or send an email to - serious offers only please, no wannabe's which disappear after a week.
And no, we don't need betatesters yet so please don't even ask.

I am no webmaster genius, but if you find noone else to undertake the task of setting up the wiki pages and other simpler HTML-based tasks I am up for it, atleast sharing some of the load that is bound to pop up in such a large project.

All in all, good to see you guys working for ARMA II - Missed CWR for the original ARMA, but excited to see you working on ARMA II. Also, you might get in contact with SgtAce here on the forums, I beleive he is working on bringing Everon into ARMA II already.

[trickster1982]

Really like the sound of this! Cant wait to play "after montignac" on the ArmA 2 engine

[Sick1]

You guys are the reason Arma is so good. Cant wait for it!

[luemmel]

luemmel
Got your email and will answer it asap as well.

Cheers guys

BTW: We still need an artist for our logos and stuff.

Both the "Cold War Rearmed 2" and the "Realistic Cold War Rearmed 2" should be as compatible as possible.

Does this mean (should it go ahead) that there will be a release after the port, then again after the improvements?

Well, may i update my content to Arma2 standarts?
