Hi, I have a question for the community. You can create a shortcut to open the Mod without using another program like "playwithsix or commander"?

Hi there Chëe!

I don't think it is possible anymore to make a shortcut to launch the mod since Steam took over the multiplayer for ARMA II: Operation Arrowhead.

Since I don't play ARMA II: OA anymore, but do play Origins Mod, I have the following in my startup paramaters for ARMA II: OA:

-mod=@dayzorigins

To get to where you set startup parameters, go in to your Steam Library, right click on ARMA II: Operation Arrowhead and click on Properties

Then click the button SET LAUNCH OPTIONS... and put -mod=@dayzorigins in there.

Now when I launch ARMA II: Operation Arrowhead, Origins Mod automatically loads up with it, and I can go to multiplayer to browse for servers

It is very possible. Check mine out at

http://tavianastories.com/server-ip-ts3/


Go to that link and look at the "connect" button. If you hit that and have origins installed it will launch steam, then the game and connect you directly to my server.

I created a HTML button then put the link info in to it but you can also use the same link to create a "favorites" or "bookmark" for your internet browser, which is usually how I connect.

To do this just find your server at the official origins server list here:

http://originsmod.info/serverlist.php


Then at the right hand side where it says "Steam", which is a link that will direct connect you as well by the way... Just right click on the steam box and "copy link location"

Then just use that copied info to paste in to a favorites tab or bookmark and you are good to go. Let me know if you have any issues.

make a shortcut and copy it into the destination field, modify your application path

"D:\Programme\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\ArmA2OA_BE.exe" 0 0 "-mod=D:\Programme\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2;Expansion;ca;@DayzOrigins" -nosplash


ArmA2OA_BE is the Steam launcher for ARMA2
