Regarding fallujah1_1 MOD Some Issues

Recommended Posts

Hello well i downloaded this mod called fallujah1_1 from reading about it seems nice but when i use steam to load up my Arma2 Arrowhead it said fallujah1_1 requires addon Utes (not sure what that is) so if one of you can so kindly point me in the right direction that would be great. I had installed the mod to the steam > steamapps > common > arma 2 operation arrowhead > fallujah1_1 but when i load up the game in steam it says that error message.

Utes is an Island in ArmA2, and the readme for that addon says that

Arma 2 ver. 1.7 or later / Arma 2 Combined Operations 1.52 or later

are required to use the Terrain.

And please, search before posting. We have a thread for that terrain here you could have used.

Hi .... Utes is an official island in the original Arma 2 (not the standalone OA - Operation Arrowhead). You need to buy Arma2 to get it. Arma2 Combined Ops would be the way to go, as it is Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead bundled into one. You can install Arma 2 with OA to get the same net result, but you will need to read the appropriate thread for doing this with Steam (I personally would have recommended Sprocket as a downloadable option).

i am confused when i press start on steam it says launch arma2 arrowhead or launch arma2 combined arms and also i just bought the 2 expansions for arrowhead so i still do not know what the problem is since i got everything required it seems like.

Extra Note : And i did search everything that is why i posted.

Do you have Armed Assault II or not? If not, then no Fallujah for you. The terrain needs both Games, not only Arrowhead.

It just seems depressing is all that you read Arma2 on the map requirements and i think i have Arma2 since well it says Arma2 Arrowhead and also Arma2 Combined Arms yet you still cannot play the map since it requires another part of a game its sort of confusing in some aspects getting addons since it should be more specific to what "version" like Arma2 "armed assault 2" or Arma2 "Arrowhead" or Arma2 "British armed forces" or Arma2 "Private Military Company" just putting Arma2 is pretty "broad" i guess.

If you have Combined Operations, then you have also ArmA2...

Run CO and go in your mission editor and see if you can select Chernarus or Utes terrain. If not then you don't run CO but only Operation Arrowhead.

Now i am really confused i actually am on the Fallujah map now i loaded up the other game instead like you said and went to singleplayer then i went to armory and it lists the map there. But not sure how that is since i did not enable the mod in any of the games just put the map into the folder.

That's because you stuck it into the default addons folder. Its OK to do that, as long as you keep a log of what files you put in so you can take them out without deleting game files. The primary method is the @blabla/Addons/put pbos here, and then adding the @blabla folder to the shortcut via -mod in the shortcut.

i think the moral of the story is buy the retail version...... seems alot of steam users have soooo many issues.

This has nothing to do with steam. The guy doesn't know how to run mods.

Read about modfolders: http://www.armaholic.com/plug.php?e=faq&q=18

If you want to use a launcher to make your life easier, I recommend using this one as it works with all possible version combinations of the games (steam, sprocket, disc... Or any mix of them): http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8241

If they had retail version they wouldn't get all "steamed" about trying to run mods and update ACE ect ect ect.

Yoma's Addon Sync and the Arma launcher I linked both work exactly the same for steam and non-steam versions of the game, and are all you need to get those mods running. Heck you don't even need Yoma's Addon Sync if you download mods from Armaholic, as long as you're good enough to realize where the game folder is inside the steam folder (which is really the only thing that is more difficult than with the disc version).

Steam might have its disadvantages, but when it comes to mods there's really no difference.

You need both Arma 2 + Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead (a.k.a Arma 2 Combined Operations) to launch and play Fallujah.

If you have both games on STEAM, it will prompt you to select which combination you want to run (Launch Arma 2, Launch Operation Arrowhead, Launch Combined etc. etc.)
