Walkthrough?

[FSPilot 0]

Can someone post a walkthrough about installing addons?  I tried but failed, so I figured I'd ask you guys for help.

I'm more interested in campaigns than single player missions.

You open the zip, look for a file something like installation.txt or readme.txt or maybe a .doc, you read that and it says in there how to intall, if the person who made the addon hasn't bothered to include a readme then you delete it

That's my way anyways, I won't trust an addon maker who can't be bothered to take 2mins to write a readme

Other than that most addons go in the addons direc

or if youve downloaded vehicles/guns/men/kitchen sinks the .pbo files go in your addons folder, if youve downloaded MPmissions the .pbo in the zip goes in...mpmissions, single player mission's .pbo's go in Missions, islands are tricky to install if they have wrp files and things like that so you should read the readme like placebo says

So what's with the new Addons folder in the Res directory?

Is that where we are supposed to put addons now? I've tried putting them in both folders, and both seem to work.

Maybe its so its a little bit more organized. Example: You download 2 addons. 1 is for OFP 1.46 and the 2nd is for Resistance 1.75. Instead of putting them all in one folder. You put the resistance in the resistance addons folder and the OFP addon in the OFP addons folder.

I guess thats what its for. Organization..Of course I could be wrong.

i personnally have remove all the addon i got from OPF for installing OPF res (500meg addons out).

Well if i put back the addons the OPF res campaign ll crash me to the desktop, with the word "could not memory mipmap 1985.pbo).So i m saving my addons in a separate folder til when i see some OPFR addon getting out (or old addons OPF R compliance).

thats just an addon folder for Resistance itself.

put all your downloaded addons to the normal ofp/addons folder.

Ok, well, this file doesn't have a readme, and I don't want to delete it because if I deleted everything that was hard I wouldn't get anything done.

Can anyone else tell me what to do?

Well what kind of addon is it? Full mod? Single weapon? Campaign? Do you have the url of where you downloaded it from?
