[PDOGG]

I have another problem and since u lot are quite friendly and very helpful(saved my arse last time) I figured u could help me wih a probably simple problem that i have since im a moron. Ya see i downloaded Tonal island from @WAR, and I extracted it to the Addons folder...but it didnt show up in game....I don't understand it..is someone could help me with this stupid problem please do. I really appreciate it.

Mabey when you extracted the .pbo files, they got extracted into a new folder in your addons folder, you know what I mean? Just make sure that the pbo files are in the addons folder and not in a folder within the addons folder This is just a guess as to what might be going wrong

[PDOGG]

nope I extracted it there but when I checked it didnt go, there I cant find it. but when i extract it again it asks me if i wanna overwrite it. ARGH...well if anyone can help me plase do....damnit I can't find it in the File but it says it's there in Winzip....can anyone help me?...... :'(

It seems you extracted the files in the wrong directory, as J-man said.
Find the place where they are now and move them in your addon folder.
Search for "BAS_OPFOR.pbo" or "BAS_O.pbo". By the way: did you
read installation instructions ?

==========================================================
INSTALLATION:
==========================================================
Place the PBO files in Addons\, Res\Addons\ or a mod folder in your Operation Flashpoint directory:

* BAS_I1.pbo 1.00
* BAS_I2.pbo 1.00
* BAS_O.pbo 1.00
* BAS_OPCPP.pbo 1.00
* BAS_OPFOR.pbo 1.00
* JAM_Magazines.pbo 2.00
* JAM_Sounds.pbo 1.00

The Island anim Folder must be placed in Res\Addons\ folder (not everyone has normal addons folder):
* BAS_Isle_Anim

Place the Tonal Folder in your Missions\ or Missions\Ballistic\ folder:
Tonal Folder
* BAS_Isle_JungleOp.bas_i1.pbo
* BAS_Isle_RebelRoad_v1.bas_i2.pbo

Place the Insurgency_01.pbo into the Campaigns\ folder:
* Insurgency_01.pbo

Place the MP mission files in your MPMissions\ folder:
* dm@ 10 elimination v1.bas_i1.pbo
* tdm@ 24 kimbeassault v1.bas_i1.pbo
* tdm@ 18 slumskirmish v1.bas_i1.pbo
* co@ 9 jungleop v1.bas_i1.pbo
* co@ 17 rebelroad v1.bas_i2.pbo

MP Insurgency Coops have at least 3 extra player spots not counted in name, for opposition forces:
* co@ 5 scoutpatrol v1.bas_i1.pbo
* co@ 14 closetohome v1.bas_i1.pbo
* co@ 16 militiadump v1.bas_i1.pbo
* co@ 20 internalconflict v1.bas_i1.pbo
* co@ 5 zinaba v1.bas_i1.pbo
* co@ 11 warpath v1.bas_i1.pbo
* co@ 17 holiday v1.bas_i2.pbo

it played up with me - the campaign - so i just tried again and it worked

[m21man]

but it says it's there in Winzip

How are you extracting it with Winzip? The download is a RAR.

[PDOGG]

Ok something funny is goin on. I downloaded it from @war right.....it was just one pbo file. I added it to Winzip so i could extract it to my addons folder...did I get a crappy version or the wrong version or something? (actually im having the same problem with the BIB African militia guys and Jungle Everon.). If anyone can enlighten me to what's goin on i'd appreciate it,

You think you've got problems ... when I started playing it all the units were invisible.   You could see the weapons, but not the loons or vehicles.   Bizarre.

Fortunately -nomap fixed it.  

The download was a .rar file.   Once opened, the folder contained several subfolders and some files, which were consistant with the readme that sa8gecko has posted.  Can't remember exactly where I got it from, but I followed the Avon Lady's link.

[m21man]

Download it again, from a better source.

[PDOGG]

Ok I downloaded it again and i used WinRAR on it i followed the readme exactly as it said and it still wasnt in my list of islands and the OPFOR guys werent in the editor. NOTHING WORKED! damnit im getting really angry now. if ANYONE can help me. please I beg of you, do so.(i tried reinstalling it twice more afterwards, still didn't work.)

[sa8gecko]

Please, before downloading it again, explain this :  it was just one
pbo file.
The file bas_isleopfor.rar is 115 mb big. Did you download only
the island and nothing else, I mean: was the file smaller than 115 mb ?
If so it's probably because of this your installation is not working.
The configs were in another file than the island one. I suggest you
to download the file from Flashpoint.cz: I downloaded mine from here
quite a while ago (last october) and all things went smooth.
If you have the right file, follow the instructions carefully. If you open
the file with winrar you see a directory called BAS_ISLE+OPFOR_V1.0,
click on it: the instruction file is BAS_ISLE_Readme.txt.
It states clearly you have to manually move the files in the
specified directories.
When you extract the files with winrar, the directory BAS_ISLE+OPFOR_V1.0
is created in the base path you chose to extract. Doubleclick_on_
it(typing_with_underscore_because_my_space_key_doesn't_work
anymore...)_,you_will see (unjammed space key) a serie of subdirectories:
double click on "ResAddons", the pbo files are in there. Move them
to your 'flashpoint\addons' directory. If you want the campaign and
the missions too move the files in those  subdirectories as specified
in BAS_ISLE_Readme.txt.

Idunno what the hell it was maybe it got cut off halfway or something but yesterday I did download it from OFP CZ
and followed the instructions EXACTLY as it says but nothing worked..... absolutely nothing  :'(

[macguba]

What do you mean "nothing worked"?    What have you got?  What happened?   How do you know it didn't work?    What did you do?    All you've told is so far is that you've got a problem, but we can't help you unless  you tell us what the problem is.  

[PDOGG]

Ok, i followed the ReadMe EXACTLY as it said and extracted the files exactly where it said to extract them. However when i play OFP and look in the mission editor nothing from it is there. The map itself isn't there. The campaign isnt there(least of my worries though i just wanna make some sweet missions on his island). The only sign i did anything was a "Single Mission" which said BAS_ISLE+OPFOR_V1.0, but when I click on it it just brings me back to the main menu. All IO know is that it doesn't seem to be working properly but that "single mission" proved it at least read the file.i have no idea what's goin on, has this happened to anyone before? (btw i've reinstalled it 4 times total, it continues to not function all i get is "BAS_ISLE+OPFOR_V1.0" in the single missions.)



OK I just tried again it STILL DIDN'T WORK!!! ARGH!!!!!

[sa8gecko]

what version of OFP are you running, PDOGG ?
