Title: Porting an OFP mission to ArmA
Post by: Nemesis6 on 05 May 2007, 03:06:18
It should be possible, right? But I'm wondering, since it's gonna take some tweaking in the mission.sqm file, are there any referances for which classes, etc, Arma uses?

If you mean cfgVehicle classes, then consult the comref here (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/armavehicles.php).

All vehicle classes: Air, Land, Water, Man and others are listed there in a tree structure.

May I add that I tried this, and there is a small problem you will encounter.

The larger island isn't as big as you think it is. To make this island seem big, BI scaled all the units to a different size. All soldiers, vehicles and buildings. Your map will have a similar template, but a lot of buildings might overlap, or be to short and leave gaps.

I ended up just opening up OFP and then opening up ArmA and making a similar template of the map from scratch, then using OFP I visually fixed everything until it was right. Took a while though.

Good luck :P

The island seems big because it is big, the map landgrid is not 50m like OFP this is probably why you see a difference.

On Sahrani the map landgrid is 40m.
