    Hi Qarmatia, Welcome to BIS Forums!

    You should create a folder name it @Caa1, and inside that folder create a folder name it addons (dont misspell it) again addons

    then move all files for caa1 into that addons folder, make sure it sin the target line of your shortcut and start the game.

    Keep in mind that all mods should have a mod folder already, but if not which i doubt then you can easily create a mod by how

    i described (create a folder with @title, and inside a folder with a folder titled addons)

    For the shortcut it should look like this after the arm2oa.exe

    arma2oa.exe -nosplash -mod=@Caa1

    keep in mind that the name of your mod folder must be the same as in the shortcut.

    Qarmatia if your still having trouble then what i cna do is link you to a download of the mod that I put together with all the required files,

    but let us know if you got the mod going first or what your situation is.

    Thanks for the quick reply and welcoming words.

    I already organise my mods according to the method you described and followed an identical process in trying to work Caa1.

    I've read you only need to put (-mod=@title) in the target for the first mod you installed? For example, as my first mod was the Takistan Special brigade, I had (-mod=@TSB) in the target line and I just create folders with addons in the Arma directory for subsequent mods which have mostly worked fine. I tried changing the line to -nosplash -mod =@Caa1 but it created several more errors as well as opening only Operation Arrowhead with Caa1 alone as opposed to Joint operations with all the mods I had in the Arma directory.

    I can't figure out where I'm going wrong with this.

    Greetings,

    I'm really terrible with mods and I've been trying to get CAA1 running smoothly for a few days but to no avail, so maybe somebody here can spot where I'm going wrong. Basically upon downloading I moved the CAA1 files into my Arma2oa directory like I do with most mods and ran it from there. It worked to a point but it came up with a few errors, I could load the maps but most of the buildings were missing.

    I searched the problem on google and I found the CAA1 FAQ which listed the exact problem I was having, only I couldn't figure out exactly what it was telling me to do. Again it indicates that you must move the files into your directory and launch the game via -mod=@caa1. Do you need to change the modline if you've already been installing mods before? I tried it but it launched as OA instead of CO and without the mods I'd previously installed.

    Secondly, I tried installing the launcher tools as indicated on the How to StarCAA1 page but that confused me even more. I couldn't figure out how to select "all the multiple modfolders of CAA1". The Arma II launcher was more clear in that I could easily select and deselect that Mods I wanted but it caused even more errors than just launching without the tool. I couldn't even load the Sahrani maps.

    Apologies if I'm being really annoying, I wouldn't be asking if I wasn't really stumped.

    Thanks
