FAF Mods and Single Player help

[Mazrim]

RIght, so, I read this thread from god-knows-when, and I'm still confused on how this works.

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1445

Having dug around in my FAF folder, there is no bin, and definitely no ForgedAlliance.exe

tl;dr, I want to use the up-to-date Blackops from FAF in single player/offline and I can't figure out how. halphalp

Awesome. Thanks for the link.

Turns out I had a Pebcak and didn't see the ProgramData folder.

Or not. It's giving me this error and for the life of me I can't figure out why.

Code: Select all

warning: Running "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\init_blackops.lua" failed: cannot read C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\..\cache\options.lua: No such file or directory

You are missing a file that specifies some options that are available with the BlackOps Mod (BlackOps ACU).

Run FAF
Host a BlackOps custom game (double click on blackops under create custom game)
Make sure Unleashed and ACU's are checked under the Options area of the Hosting Game Window
Host the game, start the game, then just end it.

You should now have all the files you need to run FAF locally.

Run FAF

Make sure Unleashed and ACU's are checked under the Options area of the Hosting Game Window
Host the game, start the game, then just end it.

Or don't end it, add some AIx, start the game, and you are now playing solo.
