GoKawiilArma: Cold War Assault - Remastered
This repository holds the engine and game source code (codename Poseidon) behind Arma: Cold War Assault — the game first released in 2001 as Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis. That release launched Bohemia Interactive and began the technology lineage that later grew into Real Virtuality, Arma, and Enfusion. The code has been modernized to C++20, built with CMake and Clang, with cross-platform support for Windows x64 and Linux x64. Bohemia Interactive is releasing it to the community that has kept this game alive for more than two decades — to study it, build on it, fix it, and create from it. Three things are worth keeping separate:
Source code (this repository)
The engine and game executables, licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later with additional terms under Section 7. You may use, study, modify, and redistribute it, provided it stays GPL and you follow those terms.
The name and brand
"ARMA", "Operation Flashpoint", and the logos are not granted. The trademarks stay with their owners ("ARMA" is Bohemia Interactive's). A fork must be renamed and must not present itself as "Arma" or as an official Bohemia Interactive product.
Game data (separate)
Models, textures, sounds, missions, and voices. These are not in this repository and are not GPL; they ship separately under the APL-SA license. A free Demo is available on Steam.
In short: the code is free software, the name is not, and the game data comes separately. This license covers the source code only and grants no rights to the trademarks.
