@R.M009
Can you stop typing your comments in caps? I saw you do it earlier and thought you made a mistake but seeing you do it again I think its time I ask you to use the available bbcodes to emphasize your happy feeling about the news instead of using caps.


Thank you.

I hope you don't mean that as in using them all together since that is impossible. Invasion 1944 is a Total Conversion (TC) Due to the nature of total conversions and mods having their own config, and since only one config can be running at any one time, it can't run alongside any other TC/mod. The code used in the mod is radically different from that of standard ArmA2, and because we have developed a lot of it ourselves, also fairly different from what other mods use.

We're also not going to make it compatible to any other mod, since that would mean months of extra work on the code, more work when we make patches for our own mod, and even more work every time those other mods are updated (meaning we would have to provide compatibility patches each and every time). Providing compatibility would only add problems for us. We view Invasion 1944 as a complete package which contains all we need to create our vision of how the gameplay in a WW2 mod should be.

@I44_John

So you are saying that even if a mod only adds units that don't make any changes on configs I cant merge them?

That is possible, we've had the same thing happen with the release for ArmA1. Some work, some don't. It's a matter of trial and error.

@I44_John

I see...

Well, the best feature of A2 on mods is that you can make "modular mods", and for me its a key point of every mod/addon


But yes, I'll play this mod and I'm sure I'll enjoy it

Hi,

I will quote myself, as I answered a PM that contained this very question yesterday.

[quote]Unfortunately, the only answer we can give you about the release of the mod is the same target-date that we as a team use, namely "as soon as possible". As you may have read, our coder is away for a few weeks, so all finalizing on various parts of the release are on hold until then. After he returns, we can do an inventory of how far we are. That we are able to preview missions in public does indicate that we are pretty far along, but just how much work still needs to be done, and how long it will take to get it done, is impossible for us to guess. And it would be guessing, could be a month, could be three months etc. We don't want to release a buggy project that does not reflect our aim for at least moderate functionality with crashes to desktop due to our part of the work (of course we can't do anything about users causing crashes by doing wrong things in the editor) kept to an absolute minimum. Nothing sucks more than having the server/your PC crash 2,5 hours into a good mission.

Most of the bug in the actual artwork have been dealt with, it's mostly missions and coding that needs to be looked at. That's the best answer I can give you.
