How to set up Civil War Mod shortcut target?


1. Right click on your Civil War Mod shortcut and click on properties.

2. Make sure that the target directory is correct.
NOTE: The Civil War Mod was made with version 1.96 and the target is set to FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE by default. This means if you are you using an earlier version, you will not only have to change your directory (if you have a different OFP path other than the default) but also the program. For example: here is a example of OFP installed to the C: drive with version 1.95 beta. "C:\OperationFlashpoint\FLASHPOINTBETA.EXE"

3. Once you have ensured the target directory is correct make sure " -mod=CWMOD" is added without the quotes at the end of the target directory. For example: "C:\OperationFlashpoint\FLASHPOINTBETA.EXE" -mod=CWMOD

4. Your Civil War Mod Shortcut is now in proper working order if you have followed the above directions accurately.
