OFP Addon Mania

[sickboy 13]

I was wondering, we've been playing a lot of OFP for quite some time. We also use a lot of addons, and now comes my question.

I do know that the 'where to put addons' topic has been more than just covered, but I feel my questions are not answered in FAQ nor other topics, so here we go:

As said before, we use a lot of addons, I know you can put the addons in Addons\ Res\Addons\ or lets say @mymod\addons.

Now I have a problem here. When we change the custom addons (NOT THE ORIGINALS) location from Addons\ to @mymod\addons

and start playing multiplayer, 99% of all missions start moaning about 'missing addons', while the missions don't make use of that specific addon, now, since we changed the addons to a mod folder, it starts complaining in almost every mission, that it needs specific addons. I am totally clueless, I see mods and other addons all promote the 'modfolder' way, BUT somehow when I put the addons in a mod folder, and boot up the game with -nomap and the -mod paramater, we get problems.

The addons that causes problems here: apacsnow and zombie

(there where some more but can't remember it)

So I was wondering, is this a known problem, am I doing something wrong? Should I maybe split it up more like all BAS addons in @BAS, all MAP addons in @MAP and so on? I really can't understand why it doesn't work here. Going nuts already

I was thinking maybe the addons that it starts complaining about..just put them in the addons or res\addons folders, but hey, then I am not running with clean addons folders, so then IMHO the whole idea behind putting the addons in mod folders dissapears

Hope someone can help me out, instead of getting an reply: This has already been covered. Cause really, I can't find the answers anywhere

Thanks in advance!

Some addons MUST be in the Addons or Res\Addons folder to work. I don`t know why this is, but it is a long known problem (to me).

This shouldn't be in General, moving to A&M:D...
