Surely this wouldn't be that hard to implement too. It's such an incredibly useful QOL feature that's lacking from the launcher and would be a blessing to have. I understand it's to prevent problems by messing around with them whilst the game is open, but everything else could be locked other than literally scrolling up/down the list.

Literally unplayable. Uninstalled.

Jk but man, this is really irritating.

In the past, the mods were treated like startup parameters. Accepted by all.

Why do you have to browse unsupported mods while you are on the server?

In your example, a cheater could connect to a server and load mods/cheats afterwards.

This looks like you are looking for a more convenient way to cheat.


PS: You can see by the mouse icon in your post if it's installed or not. ;)

I never play on public servers, we have our own private server. So often a friend will be wanting to join and know our mods or we'll be troubleshooting and discovering why someone has an issue. Without having to completely exit the game, it'd be nice for us to cross-examine what mods that person may or may not be lacking (since we don't ever have BattleEye enabled, anyone can join with any mods).

Also, it helps when in the editor. We'll often need the ID of a unit or want to find the category a unit would be under, something that'd be made 1000x easier if we could just see the list of our mods and what we've recently added/forgotten we've added. As well, we'll add mods to the server in groups / several at a time, it's nice to be able to scroll down the list and mentally tick what we've now configured and installed properly without having to just remember and usually end up forgetting.

There is absolutely no way in hell that LOOKING THROUGH your mods on the launcher is going to help someone cheat. That is not at all how Arma or BattleEye works. Neither did I say I wanted the ability to make any changes to the mods; something that, even if it were possible, wouldn't even work until a restart because of the nature of Arma's mod loader - you can't load mods mid-game, that's literally impossible. Also, no proper cheat would be loaded from Arma's launcher anyway since it'd be so easily detectable. A cheat would utilise injection or something that'd bypass BattleEye undetected.

Again, I want the ability to scroll through the mods on the launcher. That's it! The very simple UI navigation you can do when the game isn't open, I want to be able to do when the game is open. It's that simple. I'm really not sure how you can find any malice in that request but since you did and, with all due respect, you don't know how anti-cheat or Arma's mod loader works, please don't make accusations you aren't informed enough to justify.

This really is as simple as it looks. Don't look into it too much :)

@Mirudes Looks like you don't have a clue what you're talking about buddy :D

What a knuckle head. "yOu MiGhT LoAd A MoD aNd ChEaT". Pleeaaase- if there was a way to hot-load mods during gameplay- or even after the game started- people would already be doing it using other methods. I don't think that's even possible.

Same here, I still forget sometimes what I have loaded and would appreciate the ability to scroll through my modlist, as it doesn't always lock at the top. So I can't even look through the transparent layer.
