Thanks for the update, very nice.

Thanks for another update

Exellent work!

Only thing now what I'm missing is automatic activation of needed mods, when joining a server.

nice job.. THX !!!!

Thanks for the launcher, very slick.

Have an issue though, probably a user issue: I cannot get my mods to work anymore.

I have every required mod checked, in the 'proper' order, confirmed and removed conflicts. But I can only get vanilla Arma. Is there some such evil thing as a max limit of mods? (I just added a few)

Thanks again!

That's too hard, because some servers seems to have special mods (e.g. "inseln"). Therefore you should create profiles containing IP, port, password, needed mods.

The launcher should not have a limit concerning mods. Did you try a "reset"?

I have a very odd problem, I have it installed in the folder and everything, but when I click the 'start ARMA II' button, the launcher simply relaunches itself, and it gives the same results when I try multiplayer.

EDIT: Apparently my path was pointing to my launcher, not my arma exe. derrp.

odd issue i'm having with 2.0.6. I cannot get the mods to load in the right order that I want them in. When i order them by priority, the priority shown in ArmA2 once the game is loaded is not the same. It insists on loading the mod folders in the same priority each time, regardless of what i change in the profile. I have reset the profiles and settings several times and still encounter this.

Is there something i'm overlooking? I didn't have this problem with the earlier versions that I am aware of.

[Lonestar 11]

Stupid question : do you save your mod order in the Mods tab before launching the game? (click on the Floppy disk icon)

Maybe you are confusing the load order because it is reversed : first mod shown in the Mods list (Mods tab) is the one with the highest priority (the mod which gets launched in last position so it overrides the others) so you should put the one you want to launch first at the bottom by using right click=>lowest priority.

Just bear in mind that "Highest priority" means launched last.

Well that explains my confusion right there. I'll see if it works, thanks.

edit: That fixed it, thanks a bunch. Guess i was having a der-hur moment to not realise they were showing up in the reverse order of what i was trying to set them to.

Do not consider about high prio at top or bottom, just set the order beginning with the mod with the highest priority.

Usually high prio comes first, that's what I implemented in the 3rd tab. No big deal :)

Hi!

I have just installed this launcher and it's great but I have to clarify this. I have read that at top of the list, high priority, is the mod that is loaded last in a string and hence overrides mods lower on the list. Right?

But you write that high priority comes first. First in loadingstring or are you refering to the same as I, meaning that it overrides mods below it?

(Perhaps it could say "loading order" instead or something?)

Anyway, the thing is that I have tested with CBA at the top and at the bottom and no error and it seems to work as intended in both cases even that I can't test al things in a simple way. It should be at the bottom of list, lowest priority to get loaded first then?

Hope you understand my question.

Yes

If CBA is at the top it means that you gave it High priority, which is wrong because this addon is used as a basis by many other addons and should always be launched first (low prority).

You may think it has no consequences but it does.

[Pukin_Dog 10]

Ok, it is like I thought then. Thanks for confirming this fot me.

I still think that it should have diffrent name than priority, but I might be thinking diffrent. ;)

[Devil Dogs SF 13]

I am having a rather annoying problem. I have this weird problem where I can't load anymore addons unless I deactivate older ones, almost like I ran out of room for addons. If I don't deactivate one or more, the game doesn't even launch. Insta crash. I don't know if it has anything to do with the launcher, but I do use it so I thought I'd ask here.

PS: Most important addons go at the bottom of the load order, then least important at the top right? Like ACE and CBA would be at the bottom etc...

Is their a character limit in the mod load line (256)?

I try to keep all mods in seperate MOD folders and organise with Launcher but seem to be having same issue as above?

If for instance I am unable to load an island using the launcher and copu the addons to the standard Arma2\addons folder I am able to acces the mod.

Thanks

Tried to reset your settings (and profiles) ?

Can you do this when starting...

I seem to be in a loop..

Start program says 'New or deleted mods detected in Arma II directory Application will restart'

Press ok and restarts with same messgae?

Thanks

DOH!!! Think I did fix it by finding a reset button .... Seems all good now... :-)

I reformatted my computer recently, and I reinstalled my arma 2. But, I kept the old files and transfered over. I used Alpine's arma 2 launcher, but everytime I try launching it crashes. Help please?

Oh, and the, I just copy pasted my old folders over the fresh Arma 2 folder.

I think I have roughly the same error. Just started happening last night. I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice, and restarted several times... no luck.
