    Make sure your Campaign folder has an "s" in it--->Campaigns--->game_pbo

    Hope that helps.

    thanks, that helps a lot!

    I had been reading about a Campaigns folder, but I did not have that folder anywhere as this is my first downloaded campaign.

    So I just made a Campaigns folder within my main Arma2 folder and dropped the pbo into it.

    this looks amazing, thanks for sharing.

    How do I install a campaign?

    I created a mod folder, and put in the required add ons which start up just fine. And I put the key in the keys folder.

    But then I have the campaign pbo file, which I'm not sure what to do with.

    I put it into my Missions folder in OA & Arma 2 (tested both), and it doesn't appear under scenarios or campaigns.

    Sounds good.... Really getting back into the Nam again :p played so much of the old SEB Nam packs for OFP, good times.

    Just a quick question, has anyone managed to get DAC3 working on the nam islands? I cant get it generate waypoints, im guessing because of the sheer amount of objects. Anyway if anyone has got it working let me know, im gonna keep tweaking settings.

    Here's a mission by Nomad using DAC3 on SEA, works great :

    @Maj woody,

    Thanks for your contribution in distributing the mod.:)

    The caimpaign should be in the campain's section of the game m8.

    We will be updating some MP missions soon.

    There is an actual campaign within the mod?

    Or do you mean all the different scenarios?

    I haven't been able to find a campaign.

    When I open up the campaign section of the game with the Mod running it only has Harvest Red, Arrowhead, Operation Black Gauntlet, and EW.

    Ive same problem, checked everything what you wrote and still nothing :-/ Im running Arma2 (1.09).

    On the main page is camera in the water. And there are no uns addons, islands. Just missions i can see there. some next idea?

    If you are using vanilla arma2, then navigate to your Arma2 base folder under Program Files.

    Create a folder there and name it: @UNS

    Create a folder within the new folder and name it: addons

    Put all files except UNS_.bikey (that goes into your Keys folder), into the new addons folder. (also, put the mission files into the correct folders as described above, but it sounds like you did that OK)

    Now right click on arma2.exe, and create a shortcut. Drag the new shortcut to your desktop (or wherever) and right click it, go to Properties. Under the Shortcut tab go to 'Target'.

    Add one space, then copy and paste this to the end of 'Target':

    -exThreads=0 "-mod=@UNS;"

    Click on the newly created shortcut and you should be playing UnSung.

    Does this work with ACE?

    I believe portions of ACE do work, while other features do not (like the radio module). You'd just have to test it out. At some point I believe I did see an Addon that makes it all work, but not sure what came of that.

    I need a little help. I downloaded the unsung files and put them in Arma\@UNS\addons. I added the line -mod=@UNS after the arma executable. When I start Arma the mod seem to load but everything looks and behaves the same...

    Question: how do I play the unsung single missions? I don't see them in campaign or missions?

    Your first step would be to simply verify that the files you downloaded are within the @UNS/addons folder -- many times you can put them in there and they will create their own folders.

    Second step, make sure you put the Single Player missions you downloaded into your MISSIONS folder. Then make sure you put the Multiplayer missions into the MPMissions folder.

    Then put the UNS_.bikey into your KEYS folder.

    Are you running ARMA2 or Combined Operations or Arrowhead? Using Steam?

    If you are using Steam with Combined Operations, there is _runA2CO.cmd within your Arrowhead folder....

    throw that into notepad and scroll down until you see the following line and that is where you should change the target line, then make a shortcut for it on your desktop:

    "%_STEAMPATH%\steam.exe" -applaunch 33930 -nosplash -showScriptErrors -exThreads=0 "-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;EXPANSION;ca;@CBA;@UNS;@DAC;@CLAY_CarRadio;"

    I bolded optional commands I'm using, you'll definitely want to add the -exThreads=0 so your maps load quick.

    @sweep

    Are you running Combined Operations? need both Arma2 and Operation Arrowhead.

    From those errors looks like you are just using Operation Arrowhead

    Nomad

    thanks a lot, that's definitely the issue. I'm actually just running UnSung with Arma2. I first attempted to run UnSung from within the Arrowhead folder but was unable to do it without errors. I moved it to Arma2 and it works fine....but now your mission requires CO, so now I'm confused.

    I guess I'm not quite sure how to run a mod with Combined Operations. The only way I know how to start Combined Operations is through a Steam popup, since there isn't an exe within my folder for it. Usually I just make a shortcut from the exe and edit the target.

    Thanks for sharing your mission.

    I have the Unsung Mod, and it's been working great with SP missions.

    But when I load up your mission in Multi I get this error:

    "You cannot play/edit this mission it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted. ca_modules_e_weather, cacharacters_e, camisc_e"

    wow, what a Mod. If anybody was thinking about installing this and just hasn't gotten around to it ---- DO IT. Even the missions included are incredible!

    Few thoughts:

    1. I would edit the first post as I don't think it does this MOD justice, nor does it provide all required information.

    A future Unsung player would need to read this entire thread to pick up on the fact that there has been a patch.....and after they see that information they will read an extra hour to just make sure they haven't missed anything else.

    2. I'm an above average Arma nut, and it took me a number of hours to get this setup correctly. (albeit I was an 8 the entire time)

    The main problem I had was that it does not appear to be compatible with Combined Operations via Steam (or in some cases). I saw other people having the exact same problem (Ben Endless post #378), where single units were not available in the editor, etc; and these are the problems I have unless I simply run the mod through Arma2 stand alone -- which is just fine by me. But it would have been sweet to know that before all of the trial and error.

    EDIT: Unsung works perfectly fine with Combined Operations.

    3. This mod is awesome.

    4. I have searched and searched for a Multiplayer mission comparable to SP Operation Lowlands for this mod -- since that mission is exactly what I want to do with my buddy tomorrow night (our weekly Arma2 Night). Suggestions?

    Is there any chance that the Unsung team has converted that to Multiplayer and just hasn't shared it yet?

    I have begun my own attempt at converting this mission, but I'm not an advanced mission maker and I have a feeling this is beyond me; plus I won't be finished by tomorrow night.

    Have had a blast playing this! And thanks for removing the AI-controlled insertion (we tried it, but the pilot never landed with the helicopter, so we had to take the Little Birds anyway).

    One bug in the revive version though, by the way, which I guess is because of Norrin Revive itself. When revived one loses all content of the rucksack, and any weapon that is 'on back' (in my case I lost my Saiga-12 that was my CQB weapon, and all spare ammo for that and my Dragunov).

    happy to hear you enjoyed it.

    I think I used a revive version that was all set for multi-player, but it's an older version and didn't have that issue fixed yet. I'll look into it and try and fix it.

    Was sad to take away my AI landing on the beach :) - fun little things like the interior light changing, etc - but yes it was a mess with the revive version and wasn't going to work.

    I hate to say this, but with as careful and thorough as you've been it sounds like your card is dying. I would not recommend PNY products to my friends as I've seen too much trouble with their memory and vid cards. Check into warranty coverage on their site.

    This actually started with my BFG 9800 GTX+ which had been just as good or better then the previous 8800 gtx (maybe they are the same, not sure).

    After I thought I had discounted all other possibilities I went and returned the BFG thinking it had to be a dying video card, and the only thing they had in stock for exchange was the PNY.

    So this one I have right now is only five or six days old unfortunately.

    Comp is nearly 3 years old. Never had a motherboard or PSU go bad on me before, I'm starting to think that's the issue. Just exhausted with it. :butbut:

    However, when I have the video driver & card disabled via the device manager, I can't replicate the issue -- so then I go back to discounting the PSU and motherboard, and start switching drivers.

    I just can't remember the video driver I was using before I formatted, which it's starting to appear that's the only one that runs good for me.
