Dimitri_Harkov sent us the first public beta version of the
Hell in the Pacific modification for Arma 2: Combined Operations.
Quote :
Finally after many years of development, we witness the first release of Hell in the Pacific, a mod that tries to cover the events that took place in Asia and the Pacific during the Second World War.
We decided to give our first release the rather arbitrary version number 0.5. We felt the need to release the mod now for various reasons, but would like to point out that the mod is still in beta phase as there are many unfinished and missing things we have yet to implement.
This first release is dedicated to land combat in the Pacific and the India/Burma theatres, mainly on the finished or at least almost finished maps 'Tarawa', 'Peleliu' and 'Kohima Ridge'.
We will include other WIP islands as well, so you can see what we are working on.
The same is true for many of the air and sea components of the mod. These things are still in beta stage of development, but will be included as some sort of sneak peek or preview.
Feature List (short summary):
- Three factions complete with vehicles and aircraft
- Three more or less finished islands along with some very WIP ones
- Several Modules that add new features like Logistics, Artillery, Suppression, ...
- A mission pack
We will host a release event on Friday, details to follow. If you want to have a go at Hell in the Pacific,
and want to virtually punish those responsible for that mod, jump on board the official release event server and start the punishment! More information is available on the Hell in the Pacific blogspot
Hi Guys
Superb work :)
Can you fix the mission pack links please as they are dead
Use this one until it has been fixed: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ax2hqbtfml09g35/HIP_missionPack_2012_11_30.zip
Thanks Dimitri :)
Long anticipated - very much appreciated! Thank you guys!
I am not sure why people keep posting the downloadlinks for the mission pack does not work. It has worked for me since I released the page.
Yes, the second download did not work cause that server banned my home IP (I think). I am now at work and I have fixed the second link.
Well, sorry for the troubles then. None of the links worked for me until an hour or so back. That might have been on my end, though.
D.
Uhh Good Work Guys !!
He ok Dimitri_Harkov, at least they work now. Hopefully for everyone
What a fantastic mod! Been having a blast the last 3 hours just messing about on the editor, can't wait for the Developer's PvP event later tonight.
P.S I recommend combining with the I44 mod for ultimate WW2 goodness
Hmmm it does not work for me: Unzipped 7.zip and put it in main directory and wanna launch with ArmAIILauncher as usual but it is not in the menu. Tried some things but no result as if it wasn't there! I44 runs with no probs though. Maybe someone pls can give me a hint!? Thx!
@SGT J.B.: I've use WinRar without any problems. Try it, if haven't solved your problem.
Regarding HIP - one of the most detailed and gorgeus mods. Thanks a lot, dev-team. :) Many hours of joy ahead!
As I said on Moddb, awesome work!
@Escal: DL again, unpacked once with WinRar - negative, then next try again with 7zip. - nope don't work - all other mods run with no probs. then I had the crazy (?) idea to try renaming the folder (in @HITP) - believe it or not - now it works!
Got it installed though but it don't work for me. Stutters , freezes , crashes my PC totally - tried everything - no answers from the devs - so giving up on this...:-(
SGT John Basilone, there is no post about your crashes on the BIS forum.
Did you get any error unpacking the mod from 7zip? If yes, plase, run again it as administrator and unpack the modfiles again.
There is also a big manual online.
You have also to run ALL the CBA , CBA_A2 , CBA_OA
If there are still problems please report them on Hell in the Pacific thread on the Bohemia Interactive forum.
