Well I don't find it childish at all, you have to start somewhere, id do some research maybe Wiki,
Someone will post the program that they started out with. I have never tried to make an addon but if there suddenly becomes a need for stick men I might give it a go! There are some progys in the Ed Depot you can look at too. Best of luck Jan, cheers schuler

Jan, I do apologize for having been so rude, the less I can say is that my answer wasn't really brilliant...  :banghead: (I think that when i replied i was in a bad mood and the word childish comes to my mind remembering an awfull avatar, see which one i mean ?)

I will rephrase what i meant in a more productive way :

(1) Basically, an "addon" is a folder (compressed in  a ".pbo" file with pbo tools, lot's of them being available here and there, i'm using PboX), with a config file (text file with .cpp extension) and a 3d model (.p3d extension, made with O2 light software), with textures (.paa, .pac or .jpeg files) ;
(2) What kind of addon do you precisely intend to do ?
(3) The best way of learning is to search through OFP/ARMA forums in the "how to" topics, and to use some very good tutorials like Brsseb one that you can find here :
