Re:Help plz! Where do Config.cpp files go ??!

[CptBravo]

Hi,
I'm reposting this (I hope in the right forum this time)
Thx for those who replied earlier.

I downloaded a couple of units which had the pbo file and a config.cpp file. I know the pbo goes in the add on. But how about the config.cpp ? According to the read  me txt file, the .cpp is supposed to change some  of things about unit (camo level, weapons) I will post the file contennents here, maybe someone can tell me where it should go (I hope)

The other question is, I downloaded a few units with same name "config.cpp" file. DO they all go into same place??

Thanks in advance

The config.cpp files you mention are probably already in the PBO file (where they belong and are required for the addon to work).

I'm thinking the addon maker simply placed a copy of the config file in the zip file so that other addon makers could quickly look into it for any info they might need.

In other words simply place the PBO in the OFP addons folder, disregard the config file, and off you go!

Thank you very much!

I wish authors of add ons would not assume every one is guru!
