No more no less  biggrin.gif

The idea is to avoid problem with memory and to have a better view in the editor. AFAIK when you start OFP all addons (*.pbo) are loaded in memory (RAM). To have more free memory you can deactivate unused addons. When addons are off they are not displayed in the mission editor to.

Did you try to scroll down the object list in the mission editor with 500Mb of addons ?   wow.gif

Search "memory map" on this forum for more info.

You mean a Ctrl + LeftMouseClic to do a multiple selection ?

Sorry but I need to say no. It's just a basic "Name file.xxx As file.yyy" function. Same as windows explorer in fact wink.gif

It looks great and will save me from having to delete addons to use others

it says I need VB6FR.DLL

What is this file for? (I know it's a Windows sys file)<span id='postcolor'>

VB6FR.DLL is not exactly a sys file but a "dll" (Dynamic link library). Addman is build with VB6 french and the "vb6fr.dll" is just an international ressources environnement for VB6. To test addman.exe you need to place the "vb6fr.dll" into the windows\system directory.

VB6FR.DLL download link 23kb.

Yes to deactivate 50+ addons its easier to use windows explorer  biggrin.gif

Or use the "-mod=MyModFolder" command to create OFP Shortcut and place your 50+ addons in "MyModFolder" tounge.gif
