Addons Question

[icecold2510 0]

I've d/led a few add ons that do not show up in game.

McNools Desert Vehicles; RHS T-64; RHS Mi-24 Hind; and some woodland soldiers; and Footmunch's F-16

None of these show up in the game. They are not even listed in the editor.

Have I d/led too many add ons? I have plenty of other add ons that work flawlessly.

They are in a mod folder with the shortcut modified.

I have a similar problem, certain mods just wont start unless put directly in BIS addons folder

Post the shotcut you use. Maybe someone can find the problem. Also you can try and throw the addons that dont work in the addon folder instead of a mod folder.

Hi all

Addon dependency?

Check that the addons you are using are not missing some other file, usually listed in the readme for the addon.

Addon incompatibility? Two or more addons that clash; to find out which ones, perform a hand sort:

For computer literate persons, may cause your computer eat your cat or other serious happenings so do at your own risk.

1) Make two testmods folders

2) Call them @testmod1 and @testmod2

3) Place an addons folder in each of the test mod folders

4) Copy all of your addons into @testmod1 addons

5) Run your @testmod1 folder and see if it shows missing addons

6) Copy each missing addon, with any required dependent addons, in turn to @testmod2.

7) Run @testmod2 if you now see the missing addons you know they work and it is not an addon dependency

8) Copy each addon in turn @testmod1 to @testmod2. until you find the offending incompatible addon

9) Inform both addon makers of the incompatibility so they can work out a fix between them.

10) until then do not run the incompatible addons together

Alternately for the really computer literate a hand bubble sort is quicker. Again perform such activities at your own risk.

Kind regards walker

I did what Sparks said and lo and behold, all my add ons work now.

Thanks for the help!

Thats good everythings working.

I just wanted to throw in that your "Target" in the shortcut

can have only so many characters also.  Since you said you

were running a lot of addons your target line was probley

maxed out.

They are in a mod folder with the shortcut modified.

Most common mistake happens when you forget to create a addons folder in the modfolder

Just a small hint read walkers post

I must say it indeed smells a lot like this mistake.
