About this mod
The most complex cooperative free dynamic campaign (with all needed mods)
- Permissions and credits
Официальная страница на русском.
The campaign is based on a deeply reworked Overthrow campaign code, with optimization for cooperative gameplay and dedicated servers (full support of Spearhead 1944 DLC and TFAR).
Mod translations: Russian, English, Spanish.
Attention: the campaign is NOT historical, it is an alternative history.
Recommended player age - 20+
The entry threshold is also quite high, and if you are not used to not being led by the hand in missions - it is better not to waste your time, children need to avoid it too. Gameplay is radically different from most missions for Arma 3, and at least a brief familiarization with the documentation will be mandatory. The mod has been actively developed for more than five years by an adult enthusiastic person, so don't think that it will show everything it can in the first days.
In addition to the huge work done to balance all the equipment from different add-ons, the mod has a large number of mechanics written specifically for the existing campaign - first of all, it is a unique system of radio communication, combining both the exchange between the AI and the players (including adapted mod TFAR).
And it is on the basis of this contact system that the Wehrmacht will strategically manage its limited contingent on the island, responding to threats from the resistance.
Please note - this is NOT a mission where only shooting skills are important - this is a full-fledged strategic PvE mode, which requires using your strengths and the enemy's weaknesses, and this requires a thoughtful approach. A head-on fight with the superior forces at the beginning of the game will only result in the loss of available vehicles and equipment - but the enemy's resources are also limited, so the campaign will cover almost the entire spectrum of combat, from sabotage sorties (one of the most advanced algorithms for determining visibility/hearing is available) to commanding tank units in High Command mode.
Estimated playthrough time is over a week for beginners.
For Steam users, and if mods on Steam still available:
1. Download and upack the mod folder, install it as a local mod.
2. Download the mods collection, and ONLY IT. No need to write that "it activated automatically". Yes, some mods have original IFA3_AIO or ace as dependencies - these are third-party mods, and if I also re-upload them just to replace dependencies, it will just be a waste of disk space. You need to activate ONLY what is listed (well, plus in the collection of recommended / specially adapted).
3. In the launcher, activate everything you downloaded, save as a preset. Check again that @IFA3_AIO_LITE, standard GEIST and standard ace mods are not in the mod list.
4. If you played any other versions of the Overthrow mod, delete the vars profile settings file (again, look in the FAQ), otherwise you will catch a bunch of bugs with scripts, the variables for which are stored there. Don't ignore this step, otherwise it can ruin your gameplay.
5. English and Spanish-speaking users go to Discord and read the FAQ (at least first entries).
6. Start the game, create a local server, select Altis - Overthrow WW2 and play. If the mission is not in the list, check if someone's naughty hands turned on mission filtering (top right).
7. Optionally - explore the list of recommended mods that can greatly diversify and/or improve the game (some will require compatibility files from the Optional mod folder).
For others:
1. Unpack the essential mods set, add it as local mods, and activate all in A3 launcher. Save it as a preset.
2. Download and install Second Assault mod by JMax.
3. If you played any other versions of the Overthrow mod, delete the vars profile settings file (again, look in the FAQ), otherwise you will catch a bunch of bugs with scripts, the variables for which are stored there. Don't ignore this step, otherwise it can ruin your gameplay.
4. English and Spanish-speaking users go to Discord and read the FAQ (at least first entries).
5. Start the game, create a local server, select Altis - Overthrow WW2 and play. If the mission is not in the list, check if the mission filtering is disabled (top right).
6. Optionally - explore the recommended mods set, which can greatly diversify and/or improve the game (some will require compatibility files from the Optional mod folder).
Note: the fastest autoreplace script currently available is used to bring Altis from 2035 to roughly match the selected time period, but even it can't handle millions of objects faster than 2-3 minutes.
NB: What it is NOT recommended to install with this mods set:
- Any ACE modifications other than those that are in dependencies (but theoretically, those that add something to the functionality of ace are possible - except for those that modify endurance)
- Any AI mods will most likely break scripts/missions to hell
- Any scripts that change camouflage system
- Any scripts that change view distance
- Most of looting scripts
- Any anti-bouncing systems for planes
- Lighting mods - mod has a non-standard system
- Any towing scripts for guns
- Scripts for jamming/weapon failures (embedded)
- Any scripts that change the medical system
- In general, any "combines" (otherwise someone has already tried to install Achilles, and reported about bugs).
- Mods for Zeus - it is embedded. Otherwise, you can also break the scripts.
What is supported:
- Almost any sound mods
- Almost any graphic, if night lighting is not affected (Blastcore and forks are not recommended, as it brings many unwanted side effects)
NB! Despite the status of the "campaign", it is still a mod - with a huge number of mechanics, to the point that the versions of IFA3 and ACE for it - are specially modified separate branches of the original mods. For more than four years, everything used in the mod has been improved, refined and balanced just for it. So be careful with running other missions when the mods from the dependencies are activated - you can get an improvement in some aspects, as well as very unpleasant side effects.
