All I want to know is how do you run it? there is no icon only a launch the MOD icon that does something, I have ran the normal game but it runs as the original I have tried everything I can think of to get the mod to work and nothing, there is no instructions on how to run the mod only how to install, can anyone help?

Run the mod like you would any mod from a shortcut.
Right click your shortcut and add :

C:\Program Files\OperationFlashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE -nosplash -mod=@FFUR-SLX 2007

when you installed FFUR-SLX 2007 does it have an @FFUR-SLX 2007 or what is it in your OFP directory?

thanks, the op flashopint is in main directory as C:\program files\codemasters\operation flashpoint, all the files are there.
aslo in the same place is a file called @ffsx2007.

Aslo how do I add "C:\Program Files\OperationFlashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE -nosplash -mod=@FFUR-SLX 2007" to the short cut as I never doen it before, any other mods on games I have used befre either went into a mod folder or I used JSME.

1. Find the FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.exe
2. send it to your desktop (create a shortcut).

3. right click the shortcut (you'll get a small menu)

4. go down to the bottom of the menu and click on properties

5. at the top where it says target you should have this address:
"C:\Program Files\OperationFlashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE

6. after the exe add the -nosplash -mod=@ffsx2007

remember your target line should read this:

"C:\Program Files\OperationFlashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE -nosplash -mod=@ffsx2007

just copy and paste that.


hit apply at the bottom right then close the window and launch the game.

Notes:

-nosplash removes the loading screens for the game
-mod= loads whatever mod you have
remember to have only 1 space after the exe before adding -nosplash like above.
if you wanted to add more mods then add a semicolon to separate like this:

-nosplash -mod=@ffsx2007;mymod

hope that helps.

Hi, thanks alot that worked
I messed around with the files to try and get it to work, the only thing that isnt working is the gfx`s its still original, il uninstall and tryagain, should work properly
I do have the updated main screen new guns and sounds so I know it works.

Good deal!
In general what i had posted is general procedure for all manual setup for OFP, Arma, Arma2, and Arma2CO.
You can create a shortcut that way i listed, or another way, or even have an existing shortcut, normally what I do is copy
an existing shortcut and then adjust the codes after the exe accordingly.

If you need any help in the future send me a pm, posting is good too but if I dont see it then I'm always available to assist.

There surely is a FFUR thread you could have used. The troubleshooting forum is not for problems with Mods and Addons!
