How to run CO from different install folders WITH mods?

[tarabas 10]

Oh hell,

i thought desura was ment for mod support, but i offer my whole time to run mods , cause i bought from desura (never will do it again).

I have arma 2 and OA in different desura folders, i cant install them in one folder cause of desura.

D:\Program Files (x86)\Desura\Common\ARMA 2

D:\Program Files (x86)\Desura\Common\ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead

Now i run A2CO.cmd from dwarden to start CO and it works.

But how to get mods to start????

EDIT forund a way: use the arma 2 launcher

all You need is add

-mod="insertmodname"

at end of the line with arma2oa.exe in the .cmd from me

or wait till 1.60

Desura is similar to STEAM just use the non-steam .cmd

Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe -mod=x:\path\to\arma2;Expansion;Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion

1. Download Six Updater

2. Start Six Updater

3. Create a new Preset with the mods you desire

4. Run Install or Update and Startgame

If you prefer shortcuts, you can create them with SU, or look at the startup line to execute the game.
