Step-By-Step Instructions
1. Make sure to have downloaded the latest Wargames MOD version by checking the link in the Download section.
2. Extract (unpack) that RAR archive into your OFP game folder, thereby creating a folder @wgl5.
3. Create a new shortcut to the OFP game executable (FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE) and edit the shortcut. Add these parameters to the Target field of the shortcut:
-nosplash -nomap -mod=@wgl5
4. Play OFP with WGL 5 and have fun!
Check out the following pages to get to know more about additional WGL content and how to customize your WGL installation:
Linux Server Installation
These instructions assume that you already have a working Linux OFP server installation and that you are somewhat experienced in Linux matters. You can refer to this thread in the official BIS forums for more help: Linux server setup HOWTO.
1. Follow steps 1 and 2 above.
2. In order for the Linux ofp server to start, one has to create a symbolic link to the folder @wgl5/bin as follows. We will assume that you have the ofp server installed into /opt/ofp, so adjust according to your actual setup:
$ cd /opt/ofp $ ln -s \@wgl5/bin \@wgl5\\bin
3. Due to a bug in the OFP server program for linux, we need to create an empty folder named scripts in the server's home folder. Again, as an example, if you have the OFP server installed in /opt/ofp, do this:
$ cd /opt/ofp $ mkdir scripts
4. Edit the start script, ofpserver to add -mod=@wgl5 to the line that starts the server.
