Description:
Introducing: Squad Action Menu Orders (SAMO)

Samo provides you with easy access to commands on demand:

• It provides you with a pointer to better see where your orders will take place.
  
• You can order your units to cover fire. This is based off position you are pointing at. So I recommend you use the pointer before giving this command.
  
• You can order your units to disperse at position your looking at. Same as above recommend using the pointer.
  
• You can order you units to watch a certain position. Same as above recommend using the pointer
  
• You can Order units into different combat modes:
  - Go Hot will command units to go to combat behavior and free to engage.
  - Go Silent will command units to go into stealth mode only firing when they are spotted.
  - All clear will tell units to go aware and engage if a target is spotted. This will not take effect if enemies are known about.

All of these commands are accessed by you mouse wheel just like if you want to change to AT weapon or pistol.


Installation:
Extract into the ArmA 3 Directory, by default this is located in:
32-Bit - C:\Program Files\Steam/Steamapps\Common\ArmA 3\
64-Bit - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam/Steamapps\Common\ArmA 3\
After extraction it should look like this:

Steam\Steamapps\Common\ArmA 3\@your_mod_folder_name\addons\

You can also use the "Arma 3 Alpha" folder in your "My Documents" folder. Your folder setup could than look like for example this:
mydocuments\Arma3 Alpha\@your_mod_folder_name1\addons\
mydocuments\Arma3 Alpha\@your_mod_folder_name2\addons\
mydocuments\Arma3 Alpha\@your_mod_folder_name2\addons\

When present place the "userconfig" folder into your game install folder, usually:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3".
You may already have "userconfig" folder from other addons and/or mods in which case it is safe to merge the contents from this archive.

You'll also need to add a Launch Parameter to Steam, in order to do so right-click on ArmA 3 Alpha and click Properties and then Set Launch Options. In the window that opens enter in -mod=@your_mod_folder_name
For using multiple mods you would then do so like this:

-mod=@mod_name;@mod_name2;@mod_name3;@mod_name4;@mod_name5

Note:
You can also use -nosplash to get rid of the splash art and intro videos.


And of course you can also enable and disable community made addons and mods through the in-game Options Expansions menu if you do not want to mess with startup parameters!

When the above information still does not provide you with enough to learn how to install custom addons and mods you can always ask in our Guide On Installing Mods.

Notes:
This is no longer in the action menu and can only be called via bound keys that can be rebound in the configure add on menu of the configure >>> controls menu in a mission.
The keys do stay set to the key so you dont have to do it every mission.
This version includes RedArmy's Rapid Action Suppress key and StTosin's new Rapid Action Cease Fire key bound in the same configure addons menu.


Known issues:
-POSSIBLE -TASK FORCE RADIO- Please let us know if you still have an issue with this.
afaik none of the team use this so please provide feedback if it works with this now or not.
