Root\Scripts\ directory

Post by Snake Man »

In OFP you could place a directory in your OFP root dir called "Scripts", ie d:\ofp\scripts\ and when you ran a mission, if you called a script it would be first searched from the mission dir and if not found then in this directory. The usefulness of this is that if you have a campaign or similar where you use same script over and over again, its very cool to place it on this one "common" dir instead of each and every mission dir. In campaigns it worked from <campaign>\scripts\ the same way.

However in ArmA it appears it will not work from d:\arma\scripts\ anymore, BIS changed it a bit and now it can be found on:

<your_profile_path>\Users\<your_nickname>\scripts\

Thanks goes to Killswitch who helped me to discover this location.
