infiltrator_2k 29 Posted April 28, 2015 If someone created an addon and used a space in its name instead of an underscore what problem(s) will this cause? For example: will this mean the addon will need to be enclosed with quotation marks in the start up parameters? There's obviously a good reason or reasons why people use the underscore in the naming process and I'm wondering what issues it will cause in Arma by using spaces oppose to underscores.

cuel 25 Posted April 28, 2015 There's potential problems and its best to avoid it if you want to ensure a working addon. I think it stems from platform differences in how spaces are handled I never use space in a file name, it has become a convention Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

infiltrator_2k 29 Posted May 4, 2015 After just conducting a few experiments I've found if you leave spaces ie: "-mod=@my addon" in the startup parameters the addon fails to load even though you're not prompted with an error. I've tried a number of combinations of enclosing the parameters with quotation marks and get the same results. I've always had the understanding that underscoring spaces is good practice and prevents issues and there we have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
