Required but not in the mission ?

[steelblood 10]

Hi everyone

I've been making some missions recently and i've added stuff then deleted it (Just don't ask :D ) However it still says when somebody else joins the game they require the addon that is no longer in the mission. Any way to avoid this

Thank's alot

Check the requiredAddons section of your mission.sqm. Delete all of the addons there that you aren't using anymore (btw, anything that starts with a CA are BIS addons, so don't delete those).

Well. That happens with poorly made addons. They become a required addon even if they arent in the mission. It's on the mod makers side.

But the way I get around that is...copy and paste the whole mission, go to MP, create a server, then New-Editor and I put put the whole mission back where it was. That's only for MP Missions though. It may work the same with SP.

This is because when you copy all the units/triggers/waypoints/whatnot in your mission and paste them into a new one, it regenerates the mission.sqm (leaving out those leftover requiredAddons entries). It's just easier to edit the mission.sqm, especially if you have scripts and other stuff in your mission folder that won't get copied through the editor.
