Where are the popular AddOns ?

[Kuro]

As a Mission Maker,

i have the question, why are some really popular AddOns like the Editor Addons, SEB Nam Pack 2 and the BAS Choppers are not available at the AddOn Depot ?

Is it necessary to submitt them by the author ? Or can you just submitt them by someoneelse so you can use them in a mission ?

Because it is very inconvient to have a lot of external links to an AddOn for a Mission. Sometime or later the links are no longer useable.

Just my Opinion.

the BAS Choppers are not available at the AddOn Depot ?

thats because BAS do have their own website specifically for their mods

yeah theres some links, so what, click on em and download from that site, if you want the addons enough for your mission, you would just put a little bit of energy into it and find them yourself

Hold on a tick, I thought they were.  Here they are:

Littlebirds: http://www.ofpec.com/addons_depot/index.php?ID=338

MH-47E: http://www.ofpec.com/addons_depot/index.php?ID=383

Kiowa: http://www.ofpec.com/addons_depot/index.php?ID=384

Deltas/Rangers: http://www.ofpec.com/addons_depot/index.php?ID=401

SEB NAM Pack: http://www.ofpec.com/addons_depot/index.php?ID=389

I thought it was like that for a long time, but recently, there seem to have been alot of submissions after it reopened.  


BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR ADDON READ THIS CAREFULLY!

General Guidelines
1) The addon should be realistic and simulate an actual weapon / vehicle ect. Super-guns that kill BMP's and Tanks, plasma rifles and amphibious A10's, etc., etc. will be politely refused.
2) The Addon has to be working properly. Please don't use the addons page as your beta testing area....use the Addon forum. We will only accept completed and tested addons.

3) The addon should have a recognizable originality to it, we don't want the same addon submitted by different people as this probably means someone is cheating and we don't need two sets of the exact same thing. Retextures, and re-coding is all fine as long as it is truly a new version and permission from the authors has been granted.

4) All submitted addons MUST be in zip format with an included README text file which includes a small description of the addon and installation instructions, without these the addon is not complete and can not be accepted.

Submitting Your Addon

Step 1.
Make sure your author tag is registered with us. If it is not, click here to register your tag.

Step 2.
You must have coded your addon correctly using your author tag. These are to ensure your addon will work with all the addons available at the depot wothout conflict.

The TAG should be used in the following:
* All classes that you add
* PBO name
* P3D filenames

Remember to tag all new classes in CfgPatches, CfgModels, CfgAmmo, CfgVehicles ect
Example:
class CfgPatches
{
class STT_Ranger
{
units[]={"STT_Ranger "}
requiredVersion=1.750000;
};
};
class CfgModels
{
class STT_Ranger: Man{}
}
class CfgVehicles
{
class STT_Ranger: SoldierWB
{
displayName="Ranger";
model="\STT_Rangers\STT_Ranger¡¨
}
}
This would use STT_Rangers.PBO and STT_Ranger.P3D files. Notice that display name tags are no longer required. It is suggested that if you have a large amount of units in your addon you create a new vehicleClass for your addon. This is optional but for large packs (eg Nam Pack 1 and 2) it does make the mission editor a lot neater and easy to use.

Step 3.
You need to provide a zip file containing the following.
* The PBO file
* A readme.txt file
* An example mission (optional)

You'll also need to submit:
* A full size image in jpg format no larger than 1024x768 pixels.
* A preview image in jpg format exactly 100x100 pixels in size.

If all these requirements are met please submit your addon to us by clicking here.


Yup, that about covers it.
