mod.cpp is used for MODS=MyMod,,,,
With the release of Arrowhead, Bis have re-introduced proper mod folders as per OFP. They (can) contain ~\dta, apart from ~\addons.
In addition, the root folder of the mod can (optionally) contain a mods.bin/cpp.
It is typically used to display something other than, and more descriptive than, 'MyMod' on the main game display
name = "Cold War Rearmed²"; picture = \some\paafile\somewere.paa; actionName = "Website"; action = "http://cwr.armedzone.com/";
This is the standard method, and quite inconvenient.
Un unsatisfactory alternative is to make a pbo with the prefix set to your Mods\ root name. (Which presumes your user's wont change it).
