I can do Polish Translation me. You ever heard of Iron Squad? Yeah, i'm one of the project managers in there (and a translator myself, by the way ;P)

hey wolle
are you guys porting the Arma1 version you created over to ARma2 and adding to it , or creating a whole new CWR version?

[b00ce]

@b00ce
I'm sorry to disappoint you but that won't happen as this is not what the Mod is about. Our goal is to bring back the original OFP game and campaigns to ArmA2.

Ah, I see. But still, this would be immensely fun.

@Günther Severloh
Yes our first step is to port all stuff we have in CWR1 over to ArmA2, of course this time without the ugly Xbox placeholders. Once that is done and working we add some bonus content (if it isn't already in the initial release) and realistic units/gear. As a last step we might create a config with more realistic weapon values. However this last step is far, far in the future.

wonderful, really sounds good, i had figured that you guys were going to port your previous work.
C WR looks very good in arma, brings me back to the OFP days, when i put a guy down in the editor on one of few favorite islands i was utterly in a euphoric state if thats the right word by what i saw, the vegetation textures really make the scene what it is.

to think in Arma2 to the possibility to see OFP in a more realistic and more surreal environement, just simply amazes me, i am very happy to have found your mod for arma.

if i can be of any help, maybe testing or something, i know how to make missions, just basic sp, and mp, i dont really know much of anything else. let me know i'll see what i can do for you guys.

Now in the xbox CWC campaign a few missions are missing, 3 or 4 I think. I could add them by using the ones from the PC version but then we have now voices in these missions (because they never were recorded for the Xbox version). So the question is: Should we add these missions to the campaign but without voices or should we leave the missions out then.

I think it would be better to include the missions. By now many of us should be used to playing missions where we have to read all the speech...
Maybe some people could volunteer to do voices. They couldn't be much worse than some of those Xbox version voices

Great news that CWR is back again

As before the ex-P85 team and RHS will support CWR where we can ( if thats wanted )

[W0lle]

Looking at the poll it's obvious that the community has no mercy with me and I gotta have to do these missions.

Voice recording for the few missions we considered already for CWR1 but dropped the idea because it would even more worse if the voices change for one mission and then go back to "normal". The Xbox voices I don't find worse, they are just... unfamiliar. Especially for those of us who still know the original voices.
However it might be a long way to release so there's enough time to check some options.

@ShadowNX
What question is this? Ofcourse we appreciate the continued support from RHS. In fact some orders are already placed.

[Günter Severloh]

i personally miss the actual OFP voices, i swear i seen an addon around armaholic that gave u the original ones but then in the description it said teh voices are real low, i think a while back i tried them but i could get it to work.

i know theres the original music from OFP addon out too, maybe just arma.

for the missions you would have to port those too?

[W0lle]

We have the original sound tracks in CWR 1 as they are not CM property.
The only "problem" are the voice samples which in OFP were not made by BIS. We explained that already a couple of times in the old CWR discussion thread. Never heard of that OFP voices addon but I can figure someone tried to bring them back as an external addon.

If someone wants to that for CWR² he's free to do that, just we as Mod won't go on that thin ice.
