115b server and calling addons from shortcut?

[Tankbuster 1733]

Guys,

A quickie for you all.

I've making up the desktop shortcut for my dedicated server having successfully upgraded it to 1.15 beta.

Now, the old 114 shortcut called some addons, namely vegetation fix, the smoke viewblock thingy and the tank flip one, all server side addons.

So, the question is, addons that are to be used with the 115 server, do they have to be in the addon folder *in the beta addons directory* or can they remain in their own @folders in the game root directory and be called from the shortcut in the old way? Will that still work?

For example;

I notice the 115beta server shortcut doesn't call DBE, but the old 114 one does.

They remain where they are as the "start-in" part of the 115 shortcut still refers to regular arma directory.

It is nothing more than running exe from the beta folder and than adding beta folder as a mod just like all the other stuff.

so just adding to the -mod paratemer should work.

Good, that's what I thought. Many thanks.

Any ideas on whether the new 115 shortcut should call DBE too?

not a necessity...you can add dbe1 to the mod parameter if you want to run the QG on the server.

I do want to run QG so I'll add the DBE in.

Many thanks.
