Addons are not working

[Matt Walter]

There are a bunch of differnt addons that don't work. I have 1.96 and they are new downloads, and I have a pretty new computer. How come I can't download them.

[Matt Walter]

... yes I have a miss up on the title... it should read "Addons are not working"

I'm confused.... you can't download them, or once you place them in the Addons Folder they don't show up in the game?

[Matt Walter]

I download them, put them in the file, and there not there for mission editer. For example the RNLMC addon just doesn't work.

tell us exactly the path where you put the mod folder in your OFP. Specifics are better. Is it a memory message you get at loading up, or you mean you just don't see the addon[ie, pbo files] in the editor?

[Matt Walter]

codemasters/operationflashpoint/res/addon/ and put it there.

you are un-raring them arent you....

[Matt Walter]

you like doesn't work

I presume you are talking about the Lowlands Warrior addons?
I know that there have been a few updates so it could be that you have some outdated addons and a new config (only a guess).

Anyway here is a link to their download page so you can check:

Yeah, the file you downloaded will be in a .rar file..
Thats a compressed file, that contains all the needed files (Almost all addons use it, that or .zip)

www.google.com - search for Winrar
And download/install that
Then use that to extract the files..
There will be a readme.txt file, it says where everything should go
But if I remeber, the folders are something like this :

ResAddons
Addons
Missions

Copy the resaddons folder to ofp folder/res/addons
The addons ofp folder/addons
Mission to ofp folder/missions

And thats it

Winrar is easy enough to use.. Select the files you want (The 3 or 4 folders), and press Extract to... Give it a folder (Say, click the desktop, and in the file path, type Lowlands/)
And that it

Gd luck

Oh, the files that go in the addons folders are all in .pbo files
Or islands come with a folder you also extract to the addons folder, but thats not really importarnt to you atm
