ArmA 2 Game Launcher

[Orcinus]

Alright, I have a question, I have the steam version of the game, where would I add my mods to to be able to enable them with the launcher, I have tried the AddOns file in the ARMA 2 Directory and they didnt show up on the launcher, please help

Never put anything in the default "AddOns" folder in the game directory. Apart from possibly borking the installation, each & every mission you create will require anyone attempting to play it to have all of your addons.

You need to create new folders in the main game directory with appropriate names preceded by the @ symbol, e.g., @mod1, @mod2, etc. See this excellent tutorial on Armaholic:

Alright, I figured it out, silly Nightmare had put the wrong selection path for the launcher so it couldnt find the mods, I just had to add an additional search path

*Edit* Does I44 work with this launcher? or is it abnormal when you press start game it brings up the launcher again

Like it ? I LOVE IT ! I couldn't possible work without it. Being able to change all my mods at a single click is indispensable.

I have just one problem with this launcher.

When I start it up. I get it on the task bar yet if I click it nothing shows up. Just the icon representing the launcher is happening on the task bar. Nothing else. I tried bring to front and stuff on Windows Task Manager to no avail.

Anyone have any ideas?

Yes I44 works with the launcher. As long as it's in an @I44 folder in your game dir the launcher will automatically find it.

Try right clicking the icon in the system tray and then click "Reset window position".

Im having issues with the mod launcher. I use it all the time but now whenever I try to launch arma 2 and error pops up saying "arma 2 OA has stopped working" even though I was JUST playing it 2 minutes ago.

EDIT: It might be an OA issue since I cant launch it standalone. Dafuq?

When i open it, it starts minimized and i cannot get it out of bieng minimized, i have totally uninstalled and reinstalled three times and still no joy. Any ideas? Worked flawlessly until about twenty minutes ago!

this addon launcher is not working completely for me. I had to write each addon folder in the path! Same thing happens each time I add a new addon. It is not very problematic cuz I only run a group of addons. But this only works with either Arma2 o Arma2:AO/CO, if I add the path for arma2 the path is set for AO, and viceversa. So I use another launcher for Arma2 and this one for OA/CO. The problem is that sometimes when addin a new addon or I don't by which reason the path is erased for the mod folders. To make it clear: clicking on each addon folder in the addon group does not add the given addon folder to the path automatically, as I've seen in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3dsH5xA16w).

I've seen some ppl saying in fact they have the same problem (once I looked for arma tutorial videos and some guys installed this launcher and you can see they had problems making it work). So, I suspect that this launcher works for some PCs but not others (what it be the reason). So, I cannot find another launcher for CO (yes there are for OA but not CO), seems it is the only one, or is there another? Or is there a solution for my problem?

I hadn't this problem in my old computer, now I have a new computer (6 months old) I run windows 7 and i have Steam
I expect BIS makes an official arma3 launcher as since arma2 part of the community has issues on this matter.
