RELEASE : DaiZy 2018 v1.5 [04/06/2014 UPDATED]

Slashghost ...

Only a few options will maybe help ...
Loki's Lost key ... would allow you to spawn in whatever you desire.  or MCC sandbox ( also needs old arma CBA to run )

 Halek did a fantastic job, of a harder-core "survival" mission here.  In someways, a bit "too hardcore" in my opnion.  

 I don't think anything from dayz was "removed" persay, just the chances of spawning are greatly decreased.   I think what he was going for was following some "story line" , that "post-infection" after a couple of years, things would be much harder to find ...

 In this, I found the winchester to be the best "gun" findable and used on AI ... , the "ghouls" seem to be armed better than most others.  

 I found it harder to find water/drinks ... unless raping dead AI bodies ... I found absolutely no hatchets , knives , or matches to "hunt animals" with ...
 I did not find one working vehicle , nor any parts to fix them.  
No "patrols" to take a vehicle from ...

 My two complaints on this mod/mission was the coloration when you get "low blood" , gives me a head-ache after a bit ... and the way it "starts" , unless you want to swim hours ... you can really only "start" on roughly the SE corner of the land map.  

 While it was decent mod, and I appreciate everything halek did in it ... it was too much same old stuff, just a bit harder , and got a bit boring after a short while of playing.

well, I said that ...

You could de-pbo the mission and files, find the loot table and adjust the weapons that spawn in ... but even though I know the theory behind that, I don't know how to do so myself either.

Found a way to run this without the OA Beta Patch using Steam:

1. Download DayZ 1.8.0.3 from here (@Client-1.8.0.3-Full.rar): http://se1.dayz.nu/latest/1.8.0.3/
2. Download the 2018 files in the OP.
3. Make a folder called "@2018" in your Arma 2 OA directory; inside, create a folder called "Addons".
4. Add all the DayZ 1.8.0.3 files to the Addons folder inside "@2018".
5. Copy & Paste all the files from the Addons folder of the package you just downloaded into the Addons folder inside @2018 (overwrite dayz files).
6. Add the mission file to your "Missions" folder in your arma 2 OA directory.
7. In Steam, right click Arma 2:Operation Arrow head > Properties > Set Launch Options > Paste "-mod=@2018" > run the game from steam
8. Then go Single Player > Scenarios > 2018

I also did this bit just in case:
"NOTE : If you have an error message about missing content, you might have to copy the Addons folder from Arma 2 into your Operation Arrowhead folder."

Nice nostalgia trip! My last post here was 6 years ago :O

Welp

"You cannot play/edit this mission, it's dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted. 2017weapon.pbo, ice_apo_resistance.pbo, dayz_anim.pbo" etc.

Already follow the instruction, and install without Arma 2 OA Beta

Hi daspanzer275,

Judging by your screen shot you should probably start again, paying particular attention to installing the mod.

Your picture shows missing content from both the 2018 mod files and DayZ 1.8.0.3 - and "zeroday" isn't a part of either.

I suggest separate folders for each mod. Have another crack at it and see how you go. :)

i am getting the same message off a fresh install

[Eric the Viking]

Alright, I've had a look at this and everything seems to work ok...



I presume most people are using the Steam version of the game so it's version 131129 (?) and folder layout is like this...



Download the DayZ 1.8.0.3 from here. You want @Client-1.8.3-Full.rar  



In your Arma 2 folder create a directory named "@2018" (without the quotes naturally). Open the 1.8.0.3 archive and copy the files into @2018...


 
Next, open up the 2018 archive and extract the files - they go in the 2018/addons folder - allow it to overwrite when it asks...



Again, from the 2018 archive, copy the mission from the mission folder into the Arma2/Mission folder.
 
Now select the Arma 2 folder, select the "ArmA2OA.exe" and create a shortcut...



Drag it to your Desktop and modify it so it reads:

E:\ARMA2\ArmA2OA.exe -nosplash -skipIntro -mod=@2018
 

 
The exact paths will depend on your Arma2 install.
 
Double click the shortcut and you should be good to go.

Couple of points to note:

* You can use the most recent version of Arma 2 without issue - no need to muck around with Beta this or that. Follow either this post or the post by forum member "WB" above this one for Steam related stuff.

* You can use older versions of Arma 2 (GOG used to have a version) and patch it to the minimum required 103718 (Use the OP's instructions)

* Watch for "cross contamination" between mods / Arma versions - this can cause "missing content" messages.

* The mods listed in the first post by the OP can easily be added. They extract to their own folders like @2018 - @CoWar or @CBA. Remember, you need to add them to the command line...

E:\ARMA2\ArmA2OA.exe -nosplash -skipIntro -mod=@2018; @CoWar; @CBA;
