they need the map as well, if by that you mean a island like say duala or everon etc

[Tarlaya]

yes i mean island sry :)

ok thanks.

so my pc' needs also those islands. but when i download it and put them into my addon folder (with the pbo's i need), i cant join to the other servers. do you know a solution for this?

thanks

you should never dump mods into your addons folder.

mods should have there own folder so you should have something like this a folder called @<hidden> inside that should be another folder called addons and all the files for the island inside that folder.

then you need to edit your target line -mod=@<hidden> for your shortcut

and on my pc not on server:

is it better to put the mod folder in C:/program files/bohemia interactive/arma2

or in c:/user/my documents/arma2


i have OA so in my documents, right?

[anarcho]

puit them in C:/program files/bohemia interactive/arma2

bikey can just go in the same folder with the addon pbo's on the server they need to be in the keys folder

hope that helps
