Lost in Addon hell?

Recommended Posts

The only good, populated server right now runs an addon called "@islands". I'm missing a ibr_isladuala apparently. Not one server with this addon has a repository. Google turned up this but it's been deleted for some reason. How can I find this mythical @islands?

How can I find this mythical @islands?

Only by asking the server admins what addons they run. Most addons can be placed in whatever mod folder and they will still work.

An offical tool that checks what custom pbos server runs would be godsent. Right now we can only see the mod folders and guess what they really include.

Most straight-forward way would be to just download all islands. Laziest way would be to go to armaholic and download Duala and hope you finish downloading it in time before the server changes to a mission on a different island.

A good way to save you time is to download Zcommon from zeus which mostly includes a bunch of good islands, and then download the rest yourself from armaholic. Islands don't get updated that often anyway.

If a server admin decides to make it hard for you to figure out the addons, unfortunately there is not much you can do about it other than guess or ask.

Well that's strange. I thought I already had Isla Duala, but downloading it again from Armaholic worked.

Yes, checking the files instead of folder names would be a godsend.
