Addon subfolders

[vedder 0]

Is it possible to have subfolders in your addon folders like you can with missions? I really hate going into teh editor and havingto scroll down through hundreds of addons looking for what I want. If there was a way I could have it so under units for example itd be men/SEB/vietnam pack units , liek a hiearchy of folders to make it neater. The reason I'm asking this is because I'm going to reinstall the whole shebang in preparation of the new patch. And this has bugged me forever. Thanks for any help.

just make a new map called mod in your OFP folder than in the mod folder make a new folder called vietnam and than copy your ofp directory and your resistance directory in it not cut and paste only copy paste leave all orginal bis addons in it and remove all the other addons put vietnam addons in the folder and voila make sure you copy all the files to the vietnam folder and so on you can make several folders in your mod folder just like vietnam, desert storm and so on remember to start the exe file that you have copy to directory to click on that exe file and start the game

I would like to know how to do this as well, but that last post was way to confusing.

I don't think you have to copy anything...

In your Operation Flashpoint folder, create a new folder called "vietnam" (no quotes).

In your vietnam folder create another folder called "Addons"

Simply put your Vietnam addons in that.

Now, create a desktop shortcut (I simply make a copy of my Resistance desktop shortcut), right click on it, after you've changed the shortcut name to "Vietnam Flashpoint". Select "properties".

In the Target box, add "-nosplash -mod=vietnam" (no quotes) AFTER ...Resistance.exe"

I have done the same for ww2, coldwar, modern

Note that any addons that you have in your OFP/Addons or OFP/Res/Addons folders will probably show up when you start one of your mod Shortcuts, so you need to leave the default addons, there, but move each user-made addon to its appropriate folder, making copies where addons overlap time-periods (for example, M16A1 user-made addon should be in both vietnam and coldwar folders, while guerilla fighters in the Phillipines or Israeli soldiers might warrant you copying m16a1.pbo to your modern folder, also, if you want to make missions in the Filipines or Israel).

It works great!
