Strange/stupid addon-handling

Recommended Posts

I have ArmA 2, Operation Arrowhead, BAF full and PMC full. I do not have NOR HAVE I EVER HAD any custom addons or mods.

I have made a 'simple' MP map, situated in Chernarus. Placed some objects from the mission editor on the map; including a train and two waggons (they have been ArmA 2 content right from release).

Recently somebody wanted to join this map which I hosted FFA on the internet. The person was rejected with the error message that the map would be based on content that has been deleted; "castructures_rail" would be missing.

Sorry folks for my wording, but what sh** is this? There is only stuff on the map that EVERY ArmA2 player has. No mod, no nothing. How can something be missing that is included in the very core package of ArmA2 ?

Remind, I do not have any unofficial stuff. I never had unofficial stuff. The map was made and hosted without the existence (neither enabled nor disabled) of any mod or addon. It is also unlikely that the guy who wanted to join has deleted any inherent core stuff.

Is it possible to select a Chernarus-server on the internet although you only have OA? That would be the only explanation I have.

:confused: and :mad:

You have CO, he had OA only.

Your mission is either on a a2/CO worlds (Utes, Chernarus) or has objects in it that require a2.

Yes BI should release a CO lite to everyone.

This leads me to the off-topic question how somebody who likes OA can not have Arma2 (i.e. does not buy it - and no, I am not a rich poser who has too much money). :o

OA should not have been a stand-alone, but an expansion that requires ArmA (as every official expansion should do). This would reduce the chaos even provoked by the official parts of the Armed-Assault-2-world. :(

Start the game without arma2 to make OA-standalone compatible missions.
