Arma 2 Original Addons Folder
Contents. Updated Information Notes from 03:20, 29 November 2010 (CET).
Aug 11, 2013 I've been downloading addons and thrown them into the AddOns folder, but as I've been getting more and more addons, I've run. Three years after the conflict in Chernarus, portrayed in the original Arma 2, a new flashpoint explodes in the Green Sea Region. Coalition forces led by the US Army.
With the introduction of Operation Arrowhead/Baf/PMC and Steam, considerably more needs to be done, extracting pbo's and creating a p:drive, than simply looking in Addons (which sometimes doesn't exist). The orginal document of this page is presented after this note. Briefly, you need to do the following. Obtain a copy of and install them. You will end up with a My Documents ArmaWork folder which becomes the P: drive If that doesn't suit you, simply copy everything in ArmaWork to where YOU have your existing p: Most of it is not required and will be over-written, but as a no brainer install, copy armawork content to your p: or copy your p: to armawork (and change setdrive of course).
Download from dev-heaven This cmd file will locate all your arma folders and engines (oa, co, a2, baf, betas, steam) and extract every necessary pbo, in the right order If you already have p:content from other projects. Arma2P will not erase or fiddle with YOUR files.
Voila Note also that there are various 'gotchas' in creating a usable p: which the cmd file overcomes. Such as. buldozer's dta product.cpp is required for visitor.
(NOT the engine's dta). stringtable.xml needs to be copied to bin. and etc. Rather than list them here, The workarounds are maintained in arma2p.cmd, as and when they rear their ugly heads Original Text Introduction/Background work in progress until finished you may find the.pdf version (although older) will help in the meantime. The pdf version is not as clear and concise as this online version is intended to be. The Folder You can find the links to the latest ArmA Tools Suite through the or through the forum.
Before Tools Installation Step One. Make a folder somewhere on your computer called 'ArmAWork'.
This folder can live anywhere, however you should place it somewhere where there is going to be literally 10’s of Gigabytes of free space. For instance I have a physical hard drive partition called the O: drive. And, I created a subfolder in the root of this drive called ‘ArmAWork’. O: ArmAWork Step Two. Extract all the pbo’s in the AddOns folder.
You can find community produced tools to facilitate this. Step Three. Move the AddOns Ca folder to the folder you created in step 1. AddOns Ca moves to O: ArmAWork Ca Step Four.
Move each of the remaining folders you extracted in the game installation and place them inside the ca folder you moved in step 3. AddOns air moves to O: ArmAWork Ca air Step Five. Run the BIS Tools Suite installation package.
And, when asked point the installation at the folder you created in step 1. After Tools Installtion When the BIS Tools Suite installation has completed you should have a new ‘virtual hard drive’ on your computer called P: (By default). Although, you can have it as another drive letter and this is explained in the Installation information. This P: drive should now be populated with the necessary basic tools setup, which also would have overwritten some of the content you previously copied across from the extraction process of the game data. Step Six. Acquire the BIS Example Models packages. Go to the forum.
Find and download the BIS example models. The 4 file you are looking for are. ARMASampleVehiclesWeapons.zip (110 Megabytes approx.). ARMASampleCharactersAnimals.zip (67 Megabytes approx.). ARMASampleModelsEnvironmentOther.zip (60 Megabytes approx.). BISampleMap.zip (31 Megabytes approx.) Tools Configuration Oxygen2 PE Visitor3 PE BinPBO/Build Tools CPP's & CFG's Your Namespace Background This area of setting up your development environment is quite subjective. A number of people have differing setups to me and what I am about to go over is just my way of doing it.
My naming conventions may not fit with your way of thinking about things. Firstly, we should note that the BIS default content for ArmA comes in a Mod namespace prefix called ‘ca’. And, it resides in the root folder of your folder. Secondly there is a BIS supported community convention whereby a MOD team or Addon maker registers a short ‘tag’ principally for denoting addons are created by that given person or MOD team. This initiative has other benefits, like how well your addon interacts with other people's work. This initiative is not mandatory.
Although it has its merits and usefulness for some aspects I prefer to have my own subtly different naming convention. You may develop your own naming convention or subscribe to the community initiatives. My ‘tag’ registered at OFPEC is 'SYN'. ALL people who wish to make addons for ArmA should register a tag with this community managed initiative.
This 'tag' then becomes your Namespace / Prefix / Mod Prefix or Virtual Folder Prefix. Setup Step One. Create an empty folder in the root directory of your drive the same name as your tag. P: syn P: aaw P: rksl P: bob Step Two. Copy the 'ca' mod config files to your mod. Open a MSDos prompt window. Navigate to the P: ca folder.
Run the following dos command. Xcopy.bin P: ca /S /Y This command creates a duplicate set of ' ca' folders under your namespace and copies only the config.bin files to each subfolder.
Arma 2 Addons And Mods
Building From Your Namespace Adding Other's Work To Your Namespace.
Current version: 1.0.1pre2 (build 196) This release is intended for users of all three variations of Arma 2 - the original ArmA 2, ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead and ArmA 2: Combined Operations. Now comes in only one mod folder, @CBACO. You no longer need to load up to three different mod folders. Just load @CBACO Key Changes. 1.0.1 requires ArmA II 1.62 beta build 100697 or later. (Get the latest ArmA II betas from ).

This means that on Linux dedicated servers, you must copy the addons and dta beta game data folders from Expansion/beta/Expansion on your Windows computer into expansion/beta/expansion on the Linux server and edit the start script ( arma2oaserver) to look something like this: OTHERPARAMS='-cpucount=2 -beta=expansion/beta;expansion/beta/expansion -mod=@cbaco;@other;@mods;@go;@here'. FIXED: High Command missions would give the HC commander control of units outside his assigned command hiearchy.
So this was causing that. I couldn't figure out which mod was doing it, if any at all. I kinda thought it was a problem that popped up with the release of OA. I found a work around but it's nice to know I can change it. EDIT: Just removed the workaround(an extra Subordinate Module sync'd only to an existing Sub Module) and everything worked! Thanks Killswitch! Edited July 24, 2010 by Manzilla.
I have Combined OPS installed all in one folder (standalone, no STEAM), I am running arma2 standalone from inside the same folder though to play with my arma2 buddies. Why would the AO folder give me an error although its not even loaded in the shortcut.It shouldn't (and couldn't), unless it is somehow loaded anyway. Check the the in-game 'Expansions' menu - if @CBAOA or @CBAA2 was enabled in there, perhaps that's why it's being loaded processed. So double-check that no mods are enabled in the in-game 'Expansions' menu. OTOH, if one uses -mod=. The choices made in the Expansions menu are disabled/ignored anyways, so that's not likely the reason.
(The error message you saw may also be printed if you have the ArmA II compatibility folder loaded, @CBAA2.) The error message is part of a sanity check built into @CBAOA and @CBAA2 and is meant to print a warning message to people when/if they load only @CBAOA or only @CBAA2 - both of these expect @CBA to be loaded aswell. In your case though, the specific error message you saw indicate that something odd has happened and that the Extended Eventhandlers system (which lives in the @CBA mod folder) hasn't been loaded properly. But the most recent ones are - ACE, ACEX, ACRE, @JayArma2Lib, Zeus AI ACE, gltopakilldouble. Photoshop cs5 for sale.
Wow Addons Folder
Thats basically all the new stuff. The rest is sound&units but they always worked fine.Ok. Now, does this error message show when you're running Combined Ops or when you're running the older ArmA II executable?
(When you run ArmA II, you need to load both the @CBA and @CBAA2 mod folders) In either case, try isolating the problem to a case when you're using as few mod folders as possible. Once you have this minimal set of mod folders that still exhibit the problem (and the order in which they are listed in the -mod=. Startup parameter), tell us. I'll try to recreate the problem here.
Edited July 27, 2010 by Killswitch. I get the same error messages (XEH), and I'm not the only one. EVERYONE I have talked to has gotten that message when running vanilla A2 with the 060 version of CBA and their init line set up -mod=@CBA;@CBAA2. If you run without the @CBAA2, then you get a message you need it; if you run with it, you still get the XEH issue. Somewhere, something is not correctly referencing the cba xeh in the main cba folder. I have experienced no issues running A2 and OA together; the regular @CBA works fine for that, and I do not appear to have any issues when running OA stand alone.
I'd take a good, close look at the CBAA2 config file or possibly the versioning.
