New to MP Trying to get to work

[vahedia 10]

I am new to MP I want to get it to work

I am using newest yoma

I have downloaded CAA1 and ACE mods so far via yoma (actually ACE downloaded from their website and directly unzipped into arma 2 dir as per their instructions)

I am trying to use yoma interface to directly connect to game

I always get error referring to directory CA when I try to connect

There is no CA directory present in my ARMA 2 directory

What does CA refer too? and how do I fix this so that I can connect to a MP game via Yoma?

Also do I have to download used missions directly or does it DL automatically when you connect to a server? (or or they part of add-on packs)

*There is no mention of CA in the newcomers arma 2 mp guide you all have, please someone give me a simple clear cut explanation

*I highly doubt it was because of a bad install, my install was quite seamless, although I did put it into a a different directory than the default

Hi vahedia

Sticky thread top of this section of the forum.

MP Mission Manuals Here Please!

First link in first post.

Lost in Addon hell? Don't know where to start in MP? Quick and Dirty getting started:

CA is Community Addons a bunch of scripted addons that add features many mods use thus reducing workload for other mods.

Not all use it but to ensure you have it I suggest synchronising with a server like Zeus or Kelly's Heroes.

Missions are auto down loaded and put in your ArmA II MP mission Cache.

For Windows XP that is:

C:\Documents and Settings\ Your windows user name \Local Settings\Application Data\ArmA 2\MPMissionsCache

Kind Regards walker

CA refers to the base game stuff: (perhaps short for Core Addons)

class CA {

Perhaps using different version of ACE mod than the server can cause this error message, as ACE makes changes to base config values. Or a faulty install or wrong game version.

I think you're thinking of CBA maybe walker? Sometimes it says CA for whatever reason, when joining server, but it's nothing to pay attention to.

But other than that, those are all great links for people new to MP posted by walker.

For Windows 7
