Title: Adding Addons
Post by: Believational on 03 Jul 2008, 15:11:56

I'm new to addons and stuff, and since I see all these good addons I don't know how to add them on. Any help?

General downloaded stand alone Operation Flashpoint addons?

One way;
- In your Operation Flashpoint game directory make a new folder called something like "@Stuff"
- Inside that folder create another folder called "AddOns"
- Any of the downloaded addons, put the PBO file inside this "AddOns" directory
- Now make another copy of your desktop shortcut to Operation Flashpoint
- Right-Click on the new shortcut, select Properties
- Change the end of the TARGET line to something like this;
"C:\Program Files\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\Flashpointresistance.exe" -nosplash -mod=@Stuff

*nosplash means no splash screens, game loads faster
*mod means also load any addons inside this folder structure

Now when you use that shortcut, the addons will be loaded.
To use them you will have to go into the Editor and find them on the drop-down lists.

Open them (they are zipped files) and place the .PBO files in the area described above.
