i am havin problems dowloadin an addon can anyone help? i am usin winzip to open them but can anyone give me a detailed how to for this?
hi, dont really know what prob is but il try to help you out.
first- download the addon you want, place it in a map with all your addons you want.
second- Unzip or Unrar the file in the same map and you will see in the map a pbo-file and a readme on how to install it.
third-you can place the pbo-file directly in the Arma addon folder, BUT:its better to leave the addon folder empty off any third party addons and use a Modfolder insted!
somethimes the addon is already in a modfolder.
How to make Modfolder?
-Make in the Arma folder a new map and call it @XXX(just give it the name off the addon) or use the modfolder off the addon if there is 1.
If you make 1 yourself, open the map and make a map called addons and place there the pbo-file.
then leftclick the shortcut on your desktop and in the targetline you will see-C:bohemia/arma/arma.EXE; or where ever its placed
and place after the EXE; -mod=@XXX.
thats about it i guess, there is lots off explanation about it on the forums, so if you still have probs go visit BIS-forum,or here on the forum.
hope its some help and good luck with it.
