If you witness problems with the following error messages "Addon 'Lib_core_eventhandlers' requires addon 'Extended_EventHandlers' " or "Addon 'Lib_IronFrontArmaCompatibilityAddon' requires addon 'A_crane_02' " when starting loading the game and/or inside game during the loading process "No entry 'bin\config.bin/RscTitles/SplashAwarX1.duration'.", and if the misison loading process gets stuck at 80% ish and the whole seems to locked up, you solve the problem by:

1. updating the graphic drivers.

2. Also running the "Launch Iron Front in Arma 2 CO 1.63 - Automated.bat" file to load the game with the correct parameters. The batch file can be downloaded here: http://dev.withsix.com/attachments/down ... omated.bat

In case the download doesn´t work anymore you can create the file by adding the following lines in a texteditor and save it as "Launch Iron Front in Arma 2 CO 1.63 - Automated.bat", or whatever filename you like but the file must end with ".bat":

Code: Select all

rem
rem		Define your additional modfolders
rem

set _CUSTOM_MODS=@CBA_CO


rem
rem		Adjust your parameters
rem

set _DEFAULT_PARAMETERS=-nosplash
rem -nosplash -skipintro -world=empty -noFilePatching

set _DEVELOPMENT_PARAMTERS=
rem -window -showScriptErrors

set _PROFILE_PARAMETERS=

rem Find OA

for /F "Tokens=2* skip=2" %%A In ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA" /v "MAIN"') do (set _FOUNDPATH_OA=%%B)
if defined _FOUNDPATH_OA goto found_OA

:found_OA
set _ARMA2OA_PATH=%_FOUNDPATH_OA%



rem ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

cd /D "%_ARMA2OA_PATH%"

arma2oa.exe %_DEFAULT_PARAMETERS% %_DEVELOPMENT_PARAMTERS% %_PROFILE_PARAMETERS% "-mod=%_CUSTOM_MODS%;@LIB_DLC_1;@IF_Other_Addons;@IF;%_ARMA2_PATH%;%_ARMA2OA_PATH%;%_ARMA2OA_PATH%\Expansion"

exit

I hope this is of help.

To start IFA2 I use a very simple Windows shortcut, with the target set to:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\ArmA2OA.exe" -nosplash

and the starting folder:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead"

When the game loads, the screen looks like (with version info expanded)

The expansions I have enabled are:

The "@SEOW" expansion (for SEOW maps) is created by making the following folder
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\@SEOW\AddOns"

The "@NewUnits&Weapons" expansion is a third-party download for extra uniforms etc. Badger located this and is intending to use it for his France campaign.

Cheers,
4S

Alrighty!

The -nosplash command does the trick and is a lot easier than the batch file...

I created and attached two little icons that I find more suitable for starting up Arma2 IF mod for SEOW.
Feel free to use them if you like.

P.S.: got all of them mods running and am ready...
