1. '''Addons''' go into your \Addons , or \Res\Addons folder. Or custom [[modfolders]]. In most cases, the addon can be selected in the Mission editor after that. It is advisable to read the Readme so you know where the unit is listed.


*'''Custom Animations'''<br>must be installed to ''"...directory\Operation Flashpoint\dta\"'' (overwrite excisting Anim.pbo) or ''"...directory\Operation Flashpoint\Res\dta\"'' (overwrite excisting Anim.pbo) or into a custom modfolder (''"...directory\Operation Flashpoint\modfolder\dta\"'').<br>The original Anim.pbo can be restored from the Resistance CD.


2. '''Custom Skies''' come with an installer. Be sure to read the Readme carefully for installation instructions. Custom skies are generally automaticly installed in their own [[modfolders]].


*'''Custom Campaigns'''<br>must be installed to ''"...directory\Operation Flashpoint\Campaigns\"'' or ''"...directory\Operation Flashpoint\Res\Campaigns\"'' or into a custom modfolder (''"...directory\Operation Flashpoint\modfolder\Campaigns\"'').<br>This only works with campaigns. Single missions have to be installed to ''"...directory\Operation Flashpoint\Missions\"''.


3. '''Custom Animations''' can either be put in a '''modfolder''' (foldername\dta\Anim.pbo), or replace the (Res\)dta\Anim.pbo file, (original Anim.pbo can be fetched from your Resistance CD at anytime).


*'''Mods'''<br>mostly come with an installer and create their own modfolder.<br>Read the included ReadMe file for further information about the installation.


3. '''Custom Campaigns''' can also be stored in a '''modfolder''' (foldername\Campaigns\). This cannot be done with Single Missions. However, read the [[modfolders]] article, for a fair enough alternative.
