Fed up with message "can't play blabla deleted content blabla ca_ammobox"

Recommended Posts

I am really fed up with the annoying message that one "can't play because of content that has been deleted"

I have installed ArmA II.

Additionaly I have installed OA into it.

Then I have purchased BAF and PMC and installed these packages into the ArmA+OA package.

I do not use any mods nor have I installed any, nor have I ever had. Neither while making my own mission nor while hosting it.

When someone tries to connect to that map that I am hosting, I see the error message that HE gets "can't play because of content that has been deleted.... ca_ammobox".

What does this freaking message mean? I have nothing deleted. I have created the map with the package mentioned above and I am playing/hosting it with that package without having ever deleted anything.

In my map there is only content of default ArmA II, default OA and default full BAF. The map is Zargabad. The only items and objects on this map are a BAF ammo box, hospital tents and BAF infantry and a selection of guns, ammo and grenades.

What the heck is responsible for that annoying message that something "has been deleted"? There has nothing been deleted! It's just the package of ArmA2, OA and BAF.

I can't imagine what a client that tries to connect to this map should have deleted. It is just the original stuff, EVERY player out there has on his computer.

Can we please get rid of this? :mad:

ca_ammobox is stock Arma2 content as far as I remember, so whoever tries to connect to your server must obviously have it or they see the message you describe.

But there is no original ArmA ammobox on my map. Just a BAF one.

Hm wait, I have an original ArmA ammobox... but just for testing purposes. Before saving the map into MP, I give it zero % chance to show up so there isn't one in actual MP gameplay.

Maybe that's the reason. I'll remove it completely.

That actually is the reason. Setting the presence to 0 doesn't remove the object from the list of required addons because it's still present just with no chance to ever show up.

Deleting it from the map isnt enough, you also have to delete it from the required stuff in the mission.sqm.
