pgmww1 addon missing.

[Krieg]

Well, I was deleting some non-working addons from my addon folder, and deleted it. Now, almost every time I try to run some campaign, I get error "Cannot load mission, addon pgmww1 is missing".

And, campaign I was trying to run did not require any addons.

You can try deleting the reference to the addon, if youre sure it didnt need addons.
- Open the campaigne files
- look for any MISSION.SQM files
- Open them in a text editor (like notepad)
- At the front you will see something like this maybe;

   addOns[]=
   {
      "desert",
      "pgmww1",
      "air"
   };
   addOnsAuto[]=
   {
      "pgmww1",
      "air"
   };

- Delete the pgmww1 or similar reference
- resave the file
- try the missions again.

Thank you for response, Gnat, but I found something weird.

There is no addon on the list.

Code: [Select]

version=11;
class Mission
{
        randomSeed=2013187;
        class Intel
        {
                briefingName="@STR_misname1";
        };
};
class Intro
{
        addOns[]=
        {
                "Mini",
                "bis_resistance",
                "Kolo"
        };
        addOnsAuto[]=
        {
                "bis_resistance",
                "Mini",
                "Kolo"
And I am sure that I was editing the same mission.

Hmmmm ..... then I can only guess there is a script somewhere there thats calling to create a vehicle or unit or weapon that requires pgmww1.
That might be harder to find.
First guess is to search scripts for all "createvehicle" or createunit commands.

Wouldn't be easier if I would just find that addon to download somewhere and put it to addon folder?

I am sorry, but I do not have time for an expansive answer.

Errors such as this may be caused by badly-configured addons which try to insert themselves into every mission you play. Use ModFolders - search for this term to get help on setting them up - so that you only play with the minimum number of addons at any time.

If I had to guess, it would be that this addon is related to World War One mod = ww1

[Krieg]

I guess in that case, damage is already done.
I will from now to on use mod folders.

Thank you for informative reply, Walter.
