Dry Plants for Dry Southern Saharani, By McNools



READ THIS, IT IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT, IF YOU DO IT WRONG, YOU MAY MESS UP YOUR GAME AND NEED TO REINSTALL.

To install the custom plants, you'll need to put the plants.pbo & the "plants.pbo.bi.bisign" in a MOD-folder of your choice (NOTE: It is extremely important that you do NOT replace the original plants.pbo with this one, since that will cause missing textures etc., also not that this might not be compatible with other mods that changes the plants.pbo). If you don't know how to create mod folders, check further down. 

Having this .pbo in the mod folder will cause missing textures in all islands execpt for the Dry South Saharni map, the reason I did this is because the original file is over 400mb large, so I removed pretty much all textures my map doesn't use. I don't know of any other way to do this, so this is as good as it gets for now.










Mod folders - more detailed installation description

Create a folder in your main ArmA directory, call it "McNoolsPlants" for example. In that directory, create a folder called "Addons", and put the plants.pbo & the "plants.pbo.bi.bisign" there. Then create a shortcut for arma.exe, go into it's properties and add " -mod=McNoolsPlants" (without the quotes) after arma.exe in the "target"-field, so it looks something like this: "C:\Games\ArmA\arma.exe -mod=McNoolsPlants" (without the quotes).

Now each time you start the game with that shortcut, it will enable the modified plants.pbo and allow you to play in a dry climate on my map :) have fun.
