Roger That - lemmi' ask this - with the BAF ADDOn - does that shortcut work? Or did you have to edit your cmd-line edit further?

Run BAF once to initialize, then run OA after. No need for further editing, it installs like a patch.

Last Question:

The extra "required maps and Molatian Army DLs (and others), they go in here?
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\AddOns

and then - do I need to add the folders like this?
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\AddOns\@molation_army

...etc for each addon

... and then "point" to them in the cmd edit - I heard that ARMA2 may have an addon selector in its game interface.

OK - evidently the post that was previous to this one violated some sort of image agreement - but annnnywayyyyy ---

Roger - got that - but the orig ARMA use to have @[folder] in the /Addons directory, and that's easy enough to figure out with the retail version - but I have the steam version and things are interesting, to say the least, when it comes to file directories - as far as I can tell - I need to drop these files folders into here:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\AddOns

... and making sure they have the " @ " symbol associated with them and "pointed" to in my shortcut with the -mod cmd

Am I heading in the right direction? Magnum might be the person to ask - You said you had Steam version right?

We didn't remove your screens... but yes, if you don't use the @folder way of using add-ons, like me... I only play on and with SimHQ, so i put all the required add-ons directing into my arma2/addons folder... so then the shortcut with the @folders aren't needed.

If you are dropping them into your Addons folder, do not use the @folders. Only use @folders if you put them in the root ArmA2 directory.

If you are modding to include mods, you need to put your mods in your OA folder, not your ArmA2 folder.
