Official ArmA to ArmA2 mod/program

M@ster's screenshots of ArmA units in ArmA2 gave me an idea. An official mod to add ArmA content to ArmA2 would be excellent to make things more simple for most people and reduce any future addon conflicts. Maybe BIS could make a small program that would extract all useable content from ArmA to ArmA2.

If BIS doesn't have time for this then the modding community should act quickly. Otherwise we will end up with tons of little ports made by different people without any communication and the potential for ArmA content is lost. For example setting up MP games with ArmA content would be frustrating without an official mod.

So maybe a group effort like CWR would be in order again :cool:.

I'm pretty sure BIS is not going to write something like that.

Do you mean something to port over base classes from A1 that don't exist in A2? Something like the good old editor update/upgrade? Or just someone who brings over all old A1 addons?

Watch this space ;)

CAA1 and OAC.

I think he means to import all the MLODs that were released for A1 into A2?

ArmA1 addons coming soon for ArmA2 on www.arma2-addons.com :D

Just something that includes useable ArmA content with unified classnames to make everything easier for server admins and mission makers. Not really a mod that replaces ArmA2 units with ArmA but an addon pack that is easy to install. This would of course require some class changes so that ACU soldiers wouldn't overwrite any Marines for example.

CAA1 - BI addons in ArmA II

More news soon. Anyone is welcome to join the effort. :)

CAA1 is the model, texture, sound etc part.

The OAC compatibility addon is the config supplement.
