Iron Front in Arma 2 and Arma 3.

Also, Community patch to 1.06

Awesome! Are we going to give it a whirl?

still sounds very very WIP, and they dont exactly make it simple do they!

well i tried it, theres still a lot of bugs present, its playable, but theres some nasty sound bugs with the tanks and quirks with the uniforms (non of my US guys actually had the US uniforms!). Also the daytime is by far, WAY to bright. In all honestly think we should give em a little bit more time to work on it (if they are that is) before we start using it.

Tis really cool being able to use arma3 mods though!

it is also possible to use Iron Front as MOD under ArmA 3: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?170687-Iron-Front-as-mod-in-Arma-3

Edit: BI Forum down.

thats the one i tried

Wouldn't it be better to play the real IF patched to 1.06, than to play it as an ArmaII mod?

**I can't believe IFL support died to fast. It could have been a great game.

So glad to hear this is making progress.

First thing I notice... Ouch, it requires both A2OA and A3. Huge chunk of HDD, combined with IF. I'll need to reinstall A2OA (and probably uninstall something else! )

And I didn't see it mentioned in my brief perusal, but something that would be really welcomed is an IF mission converter tool. That way our existing mission library could be brought along into the future.

Works for me, held off the A3 version for now. But works just fine in A2CO. However.........I read in the blog about compatibility with other mods like I44. Needs some work, I set out to test it. Once you have worked around the fact the sides colours are opposite (you can change unit affiliation in editor). Tried some tank on tank action. Problem is the penetration system, tried with and without the I44 module. Iron Front tanks are immune to shots from I44 guns but can shoot back and damage/destroy I44 tanks. Im sure the IF converters will get round it. Great conversion lots of work and much scope for interesting scenarios.

Just rename the missions file from .ifa to .pbo and you should be good to go.

A standalone version is coming (what they call it but they just mean all you need is A3 installed).

If it works well that might be the thing we need to switch over and use it for Saturdays. Hopefully with A3's engine improvements the game will have a bit of a comeback.

I will be watching this, thanks for the heads up.
