Ok, I'm not sure where to post this, so I'm going to start here.
I'm working on a mission that will be heavily scripted (see Operation Random Fury thread in the SP betatesting forum). A friend of mine worked up a little particle generator thing that will add to the ambiance in certain situations. It consists of a subfolder with the config and p3d and then additional subfolders for the data (skin/animation), and scripts. When I drop the subfolder into the mission folder, it can't find anything.
BUT, if he pbo's it, and I put it in my addons folder, everything works a charm.
Is there any way to include the custom "things" in a mission, but not require an additional addon? I mean, it isn't very big, so it would be nothing to include it and have people "install" it. But, I'd prefer not to.
Any ideas?
