Trouble getting mods to work

[WhiskeySix]

hmmm... so I've got three mods I want to run, but am having problems getting any of them to work.

My directory structure looks like this:

C:\Program Files\Atari\ArmA\AddOns
                             ├─ @cent_tracer
                             │         └─ AddOns
                             │             
                             ├─ @ModWarSound
                             │         └─ AddOns
                             │             
                             └─ ArmA_OFPEC_Blood_Effect
                                        └─ AddOns

and my shorcut looks like this:

"C:\Program Files\Atari\ArmA\arma.exe" -mod=@cent-tracer;ArmA_OFPEC_Blood_Effect;@ModWarSound;

any suggestions?

Take those @modfolders out of Addons. Put them in the ArmA root directory. That should work. And I think you have an extra @ at the end of you shortcut on ModWarSound. You only need one at the start of the line.

"C:\Program Files\Atari\ArmA\arma.exe" -mod=@cent-tracer;ArmA_OFPEC_Blood_Effect;ModWarSound;

Whiskey, it may be those quotation marks in your shortcut target. I dont have them and my addons work.

Here is my target line in ArmA shortcut

C:\Games\ArmA\arma.exe -nosplash -disableVoN=1 -mod=@ModWarSound;@SIX_Tracers;@SIX_Misc;@Pack1

EDIT: Shafik caught it. Those @modfolders should be in ArmA root directory.

cheers guys i'll give it a try

[John CANavar]

AFAIK, @ is necessary in target line for every folder with a @ in its name. It is a part of folder's name and used by community to name modfolders so that they will be sorted together in your ArmA folder. You dont have to use @, it could be # or any other character. Important thing is to have full folder name in target line of the shortcut.

Shafik is correct. You have to run the mod folders in ArmA's main folder.
