If you use OFP Resistance put it into the Res/Addons folder and then go into the editor and search for a soldier with it there, you cna only use it in missions made with it or must make your own with it to use it.

Btw i guess this topic belongs into the troubleshooting area

yes but what do u do do you put into a ammo crate cause i cant find the soldier with it

do you know and addon sites with readme's attached to help me

You don't automatically get to use it. You must either play a mission that was designed to incorporate the specific addon within it or you have to create your own mission using it with the mission editor.

If you want to do the latter and the weapon is not associated with a given soldier unit, you'll have to learn the basics of OFP editing in order to do this.

If you want to start learning, the best place to begin is The OFP Editing Center (OFPEC).

Check that the weapon isn't in its own subfolder too. that will prevent it from being available.

Heh.. this add-on looks familiar.

Make sure you installed the file km_fnmag.pbo. If you copied the PBO to the Operation Flashpoint\Addons directory, you did that part right.

Now go to the editor, under side "West", check "Units". There you will see: Machinegunner (FN MAG)

Another option is to hit [F2] for groups. Now select side "Korps Mariniers mod" and select "NL KMARNS equipment" and then "Machinegunner (FN MAG)".

The last option is to add this weapon manually. Place any unit you like. For example the international soldier model, or a resistance guy. Add the following to it's init line:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">removeallweapons this; this addamagazine "KM_FNMAGMag"; this addamagazine "KM_FNMAGMag"; this addamagazine "KM_FNMAGMag"; this addweapon "KM_FNMAGMag";

Now hit the preview button, and have a blast!

I think this case illustrates the need for AAE. My next add-on pack, the reworked Diemaco series, will be released as an automated installer with demo mission. After the Diemaco's, the FN MAG58 will be reworked, and released as an Add-on At Ease, including demo mission. better late than never, right?

You are kidding me, right? Please tell me you didn't mean that.
