Multiplayer Maps for OA

Recommended Posts

I downloaded some multiplayer coop maps and follow there directions to place the files in the Missions and MPMisions files, but they dont appear as choices for multiplayer. Is there a bug?

So you put them in the mpmissions folder inside your root install directory (where the rest of the game is located), or created such a folder if one was not already present, yeah?

Then you should theoretically be able to click on multiplayer, click on new and create either an internet or a LAN server, which yer mates can then join.

That is how it's supposed to work anyhow.

I have put the mission .pbo's in both Arma2 and OA. I see them as single missions in Arma2 but nothing in OA.

alright, so you have seperate installations of arma2 and OA, yeah?

If they are coop missions they are for multiplayer, which means they go into the mpmissions folder (not the missions folder). Now, to start them, you have to start your own little server, which is done in the gamespy browser where you can see all the other servers online. Just click new and follow the instructions.

I have a my own server. The multiplayers dont show up to choose them when the server starts. That makes me think that the server is static and the mplayer files have to be loaded into the server. What a dolt.

yeah if you have a dedicated server the issues might very well be different. That, however, is outside my expertise. Good luck with it matey!

Multiplayer missions on a server side in the root\MpMissions folder

I suspect you may be placing them in a profiles\mpmissions folder

It may also be that some of these coops need addons that you do not have, especially islands, so if you cant see the island then you wont be able to see the missions for them.

Dont put MP missions into your missions folder

I thought it was the server. It was, I'm a noob but, I found out how to add coops to the files and I'm happy
