HELP! (rMod confusion, addons, etc)

[AlbinoDinoFTW 26]

I have not gotten a good reply as of yet, and I need this explained, because everybody acts like I know what I am doing. I don't.

I am going to list my problems:

:emptycan: 1) I have the rMod folder, in what form do I put in my addons?

Here are the addons I selected:

-antihack (ah.sqf)

-DayZ-Admin-Tools--master.rar

-DayZ-Admin-Tools--master1.rar

-DayZ-Fuel-Scripter-master.rar

-Debug_Monitor-master.rar

-a couple more actual scripts, but I could always come back with another topic for that.

How am I supposed to put these files in my rMod addons folder? As zipped files? Or do I extract them into my rMod's addons folder?

:emptycan: 2) I have created a splash screen for my server (1024x512 (I think)), how do I create a path for the .PBO file to find my splash screen and use it on my DayZ server?

:emptycan:3) If I have rMod on my server, do the clients need it too? Because I have joined servers with addons without an issue, but some people say you need rMod downloaded on your client to play on a server with rMod.

Thank you if you respond, please describe in the greatest detail you can, or link a page describing what to do if you have one. My server will be officially launching once these changes are added, and if you help me you get a free car on my server, and my beans :beans: :beans: :beans:

So please help! Thank you once again in advance!

None of the following are addons :

-antihack (ah.sqf)

-DayZ-Admin-Tools--master.rar

-DayZ-Admin-Tools--master1.rar

-DayZ-Fuel-Scripter-master.rar

-Debug_Monitor-master.rar

They are scripts and they are added to the mission files, they should come with an install guide.

1 - rMod 2.1 is great :) It gives you full control to add any vehicle or weapon, you don't have to add tanks and stuff like most think you do.

rMod is an addon and just like all addons you launch it with the @addon_name in your launch parameters

rMod also needs added to your mission.sqm under the list of addons in that file.

You also need to add the key in the keys folder, keys are for server side not client side.

2 - Splash screen or custom load screens go inside the mission.pbo and you have to also add it to the description.ext

Find :

loadScreen = "\z\addons\dayz_code\gui\dayz_logo_ca.paa";

Replace with :

loadscreen=your_splash_screen_file_name.jpg;

3 - Yes, all players need rMod to use the rMod vehicles/weapons, players without rMod can still join the server but won't see the new vehicles/weapons
