Mod.cpp/bin File Format

A mod.cpp is to offer more detailed information in the expansion menu for mod folders.

Since Operation Arrowhead the root folder of a mod folder can (optionally) contain a mod.bin/cpp. Like arma2\@MyMod\

It is used to provide more details than just '@MyMod' listed on the right side in the main menu.

name = "Cold War Rearmed²";
picture = \some\paafile\somewere.paa;
actionName = "Website";
action = "http://cwr.armedzone.com/";

⚠

NOTE: true/false are invalid values in the mod.cpp.

This is the standard method, and quite inconvenient.

An unsatisfactory alternative is to make a pbo with the prefix set to your Mods\ root name. (Which presumes your user's wont change it).
