How to play armory?

[Lepryy 54]

So usually what I would do is just instead of using DayZ Commander/SixLauncher whatever, I would just start Arma 2: CO or whatever through steam. And that would start the normal version of Arma and I could use armory. But now when I try to do that, the little check boxes come up, then they disappear. No error message, the game doesn't start or anything. They just come up for about 5 seconds then go away.

Is there ANY WAY I could use the armory???

Note that I'm simply not going to re-install Arma. That would take me about 16 hours.

Go to your Arama2OA dir and double click "_runA2co_beta.com". It will run in windowed mode. You can edit the file and delete the "windowed" entry.

Or go to your Arma2OA/expansions/beta folder. Find the arma2oa.exe and double click. Either way it runs the game without having to use Steam if you just want to mess around with the actual game.

If you edit the "_runA2co_beta.com" file and have to verify your game files on Steam, it will overwrite the edited file. To avoid this copy and paste the .com file Change the name of the copied file keeping the .com part. Edit it to run the way you like. Then make a short cut to it on your desktop. (this may only happen if you edit the _runa2co.com file.)

Try a MP solo CTI mission, or one of the other mission types that randomly generate objectives on one of the maps. The more you accomplish the more money you get to buy more stuff. You can exit and load back in where you left off. Or just load up the editor drop a chopper in and fly around to look at the area.

I think this problem is related to Dayz Commander. It does some weird stuff. Something to do with how it uses Netframework. It can interfer with other software that also uses it.
