Phantom "addon" screwing things up

[Stag 0]

Beta testing a mission in multiplay. It uses a couple of third-party addons, which I made sure all players have. I can link up with one of the players fine, but all others get the error message: "Missing Addons "groups"".

Can anybody tell me what is causing this?

Thanks in advance.

Have you checked the MISSION.SQM file's addOns and addOnsAuto sections to see if there is a rogue entry?

If that fails, try searching for the word "groups", and make sure that the only use of this word is when defining actual groups for the mission.

Here's what I found in the mission.sqm:

version=11;

class Mission

{

addOns[]=

{

"bis_resistance",

"Ch47D",

"Bizon",

"RPG_Skorpion_Soldier",

"groups"

};

addOnsAuto[]=

{

"bis_resistance",

"Ch47D",

"RPG_Skorpion_Soldier",

"Bizon",

"groups"

};

randomSeed=12125699;

class Intel

{

briefingName="Operation Silent Shockwave";

briefingDescription="Scuds have been spotted at a maintanance depot. Destroy them.";

hour=3;

};

class Groups

{

items=29;

class Item0

{

side="EAST";

class Vehicles

{

items=1;

class Item0

{

position[]={3040.241699,21.959999,5994.942383};

azimut=270.000000;

id=0;

side="EAST";

vehicle="SoldierEB";

leader=1;

skill=0.600000;

markers[]={};

init="this setbehaviour""safe"";this setspeedmode""limited""";

Note "RPG_Skorpion_Soldier" and "groups" entries in "addOns" and "AddOnsAuto": I try to erase them, and they re-appear when I save the game. "groups" is of course the main problem, but I'm not using RPG_Skorpion_Soldier in this mission at all.

How is this getting in?

Found it. FYI, in home grown OFP/OFP:R there are no groups defined under the Resistance (f2 menu). I bunged in an addon which added Groups for the Resistance, and of course used them, forgetting that BIS hadn't actually made them.
