Oh yeah! I've seen that one. Usually when I download a mission and they don't say that I need an add on. My best guess is that if you check your mission.sqm somewhere around the top of the file it will list required add ons and that one will be in the list, but it won't be in your add on folder. Sometimes someone will make a mission, put add on objects on the map while editing then delete them (with a save along the way) but the reference to the add on is still in the mission.sqm. In that case all you have to do is delete the reference.

McNorth thanks. But its not one of my missions. The newest one with this prob. is the NPD mission from the Missions Depot. Its on the top five. someone try it out and tell me if they can see the intro.

Hmmm...here's the .sqm of NPD:

Code: [Select]

   addOns[]=
   {
      "bis_resistance",
      "editorupdate102",
      "HMMWV"
   };
I couldn't see editorupdate in the list of addons, and some of the information is missing in the review page. So it's probably the Kegs update you need if you don't have it, otherwise de-pbo the mission and look in your .sqm.

Dunno what's up...

Just curious, as I get funny addon messages since I installed resistance.

If you remove the references to addons in the mission sqm, will the mission still work? Assuming that the needed addons are installed, I just want to eliminate erroneous error messages. I get em in 1 mission, AND the Addon IS installed.

[mcnorth]

That may depend on whether or not the add on is used in the mission. If you delete the reference to an add on it may be wise to also search the rest of the file to see if it was used in the mission.

Is Kegetys SW66 revolver. To avoid theese problems in future move (cut&paste) ALL your addons (exept official ones) from res addons folder to ofp addons folder. This message is shown because the addons are conflicting with O.pbo

[Nixer6]

Basically, I just want ot know

What does the addon list at begining of SQM do?
  Does it just let OFP know what addons are needed so that the program can check for them in players addon folder?

If there is no addon list, and the player has the required addons, will it still run?

Thanks
