It is not in a Bohemia file. Barney style: Open My Computer, open C drive, you want program files (x86), steam, steamapps, common, arma2. Just put your @mod folder(s) in the arma2 folder you now have open. copy your @mod folder and put it in arma2 operation arrowhead folder as well. the oa folder will be just under the arma2 folder in 'common folder'. the then do the launch parameter kaptainkrud posted above for oa. Just a note, i have arma 2, oa (combined ops), baf, and pmc. i only open my game with oa co. this is what you should link the launch parameters to. hope this helps.

Ok so I have steam version and I have tried numerous times to install the undead mod. I know it will take time but can someone please walk me through the installation process and the part where i get it on steam? Thank you

is it safe to use the AddOns Folder that is already in my ArmA 2 folder or can someone make me a step by step guide on how to make a modded folder plz and thank you

No, you should never add to or alter the default program content of the AddOns or Expansion/AddOns subdirs -for this or any other type of media- as it only leads to headaches later on.

My shortcut for ARMA 2:

Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\arma2oa.exe" -window -nosplash -noPause -cpuCount=4 -maxMem=2047 -exThreads=7 -mod=PMC;BAF;@eliassound2OA"

Start in: "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2"

if you are not sure of the system specs and want to run full screen try the target line - "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\arma2oa.exe" -mod=@*yourmod*"

I'm running Window 7 64 bit so if your running 32bit OS the target line will look like this - "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\arma2oa.exe" -mod=PMC;BAF;@*yourmod*"

and the Start in: "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2"

Does anyone know if it's possible to use a mod manager with the Steam version?
I am planning to buy Arma 2 but I want to know if this works before buying it on Steam.

Yes and No. I tried it with Alpinestars ARMA II Launcher.

It give me one or two error messages but it didn't seem to cause me any visible issues. However I did get errors saying that I wasn't running combined ops, but I think that is down to that I'm running the combined ops versions of the ACE mod.

I think you can add ARMA 2 as a mod and launch it as one, to force it to run combined ops. If you are just getting ARMA 2 standalone then it should be fine.

Alternatively you can just right click the game under you game library, click properties, then under general click set launch options. You can then put any of ARMA's start-up parameters into e.g.

-mod=@CBA;@ACE;@ACEX;@ACEX_USNavy;@ACEX_RU;@ACEX_SM -nosplash -world=empty

You can also use the sixupdater, that works pretty well with steam.

Ok thanks,
I think I'll go with the steam version and use it with sixupdater. I plan on using ACE so I was probably going to use that anyway.

Even using Steam using a launcher is advised. Also remember if you're using Steam + Six Updater you need to manually start ArmA2 and OA on their own first so that SU knows where they are.

Hello, I need help, I have installed Arma2 OA betas by STEAM at: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common, but I need to install the addons to another disk by having insufficient space.

Test1: ORIGINS @ DayzOrigins DAYZ, Steam Option OA Beta release:


1.1-D: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead-mod = @ DayzOrigins-nosplash -> does not work putting the folder D: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead, read the mod @ DayzOrigins, expansion, but Arma2 beta (A2 CO), only OA and Origins mod does not start, stays on the screen as activated if the expansion window.

1.2--mod = @ DayzOrigins-nosplash -> does not work putting the folder D: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead, read the mod @ DayzOrigins, Expansion, Arma2 beta but not (A2 CO), only OA and Origins mod does not start, stays on the screen as activated if the expansion window.

Other options:

1.3--mod = @ DayzOrigins-nosplash -> To test @ DayzOrigins putting the folder in: C: \ Users \ Alexandre \ Documents \ ArmA 2 -> works

1.4--mod =[color=#3465A4][/color] @ DayzOrigins-nosplash -> To try putting the folder: D: \ Users \ alex \ documents \ ArmA 2 -> not working

1.5--mod = @ DayzOrigins-nosplash -> To try putting the folder @ DayzOrigins in: D: \ Users \ Alexandre \ Documents \ ArmA 2 -> not working

1.6-D: \ Users \ alex \ documents \ ArmA 2-mod = @ DayzOrigins-nosplash -> To try putting the folder: D: \ Users \ alex \ documents \ ArmA 2 -> not working

1.7-D: \ Users \ Alexandre \ Documents \ ArmA 2-mod = @ DayzOrigins-nosplash -> To try putting the folder @ DayzOrigins in: D: \ Users \ Alexandre \ Documents \ ArmA 2 -> No

Works


Sorry for my poor English, Many Thanks

Alright. so im vary new to installing mods to Arma 2 (steam) in a matter of fact as im posting this im still trying to figure it out. what im wondering is if you could just drag the mods files into the Addons folder that is in the game? im not going to try this untill i hear form someone as i could see it going vary bad. but still if anyone has tried this did it work?

Whats weird now is when I try to get a mod, it saves but when I try to open it, it opens towards internet explorer, not the file. Anybody having the same problem or does anyone have any solutions to this?
