Arma 3 DaiZy???

[DarkRaven]

We can hope that this can somehow be converted, probably not for a long long while though.

Only 4 more hours until alpha

You can and someone has already imported some arma 2 maps over, but standalone will suffice anyway.

Alpha has been out for an hour , how can there be custom maps ported over already? Unless the ArmA 3 dev team didn't do that then it's false gossip.

Googled for ArmA 2 maps over on ArmA 3 , did not find any realiable source AT ALL, and also for DayZ to work in arma 3 you would need to re-write most of the code, think about all new weapon classes,object id, loot id, this would take a bunch of time. And there is no need for ArmA 3 dayz since as you said, standalone is coming.

the Alpha is coming up with the tools to fully edit mission - wich is enough for the modders to start converting their work for Arma 3.

About an Arma 3 DaiZy : you'd have to re-create all of the weapons, vehicles and tools - since A3 uses futuristic ones; the same goes for zombies since the skeleton & animation system has changed. Wich is what they've been working on for the stand-alone...

Except for that, I guess it would be doable  - and having an alternative Zombie/survival SP mod for Arma3 would make sense : I bet y'all there won't be any SP in DayZ.

Oh right, forgot that the mission editor is in alpha. Going to buy mine tomorrow

It wont fit. You cant import arma 2 maps into arma 3 and there wont be any tools to do it anyway until arma 3 full release.
Dayz in arma 3 would suck anyway

How come I ported the Chernarus, and Utes maps into ArmA 3 without issues?
All you need to to is copy-paste the required files for chernarus and utes into the ArmA 3 addons/mod folder.

DO NOT COPY OVER ANIMS.pbo, or WATER.pbo.
You can also port over all ARmA 2 weapons, and vehicles.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SPAWN AN ARMA 2 UNIT. IT WILL CRASH.


On topic, I'm working on something like this. It'll be very barebones but I'll see what I can and can't put in the game. There won't be any bandit, survivor or zombies skins at all, they just don't work. The current ArmA 3 models will have to do. Don't like it? Well that's just a shame.

I think Arma 2 units work fine - except for their head. Heads use different skeleton in A3; but apart from that, I'm pretty sure A2 units work fine in A3.
