Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it! @ alky_lee I was indeed using the Steam Version, thanks for pointing that out. I am sure I read that, guess it just didn't register. I now have the GitHub version in place and a much better looking file structre relative to all the instruction I see. @ ineptaphid - readme states the following.
so as per your instruction I built the proper folders in the root of the ARM3 installation and added the referenced lines to bcombat.sqf. Then I realized the readme specifically states those line should be added to config.sqf, so I have placed config.sqf in the userconfig/@bcombat directory rather then bcombat.sqf. any good way to tell if the config file is being used?
