can anyone help me do the vehicle transportation mod where you can put cars in the back of c-130 etc? im a beginer at this so i need a bit of a detailed description

i think this belongs more into editing section of this forum, since this can be done by script, no need for a whole mod (mod=compilation of addon,scripts... etc put together to have a complete package)

maybe u r looking for something like this:

or, more basic, this:

follow the instructions in the readmes, should help u how to use this

but whats the mission folder and the btk folder?

[runforrest 10]

in general: if u wanna edit missions, u have to unpack the mission pbo file with an unpbo programm/tool (http://www.kegetys.net/arma/ - scroll down to ArmA tools, its the 244kb file - inside is cpbo)

the unpacked mission folder will go into this folder in WinXP(u have to unhide hidden folders in windows, to be able to see that folder):

C:\documents and settings\urwindowsprofilename\yourownfiles?\ArmA 2 Other Profiles\urarma2profilename\missions

(im not sure about the names of the folders in english, mine looks like this : C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\aleX\Eigene Dateien\ArmA 2 Other Profiles\-TOB-RunForrest\missions)

in case of the btk cargo script u dont need to unpbo it, just copy the folder BTK_Cargo_Drop_v192.Takistan into the folder as i wrote above. the btk folder is inside the missionfolder from the downloaded example mission

edit: oh and as u seem to be quite new to editing i can just recommend Mr.Murrays Editing Guide: http://www.mr-murray.de.vu/ (click on downloads, theres also an english version)

expect that u have to read ALOT (also here in editing section or other sites), and dont get frustrated when things dont work at the first time :) its more like that they work on the tenth try

anyways, good luck :)

I believe you're supposed to put "this execVM..." in it, here you didn't specify which unit.

nevermind its still sayin type script nothing expected

Are you sure you're supposed to be using execVM? Because that's an error I get when I'm supposed to be using exec but using execVM instead.
