I bought HOI3 on steam and it came with HOI2 complete pack. Its split into HOI2 Complete Pack and Arma, How do i install this mod through steam?
Well I have little experience with the actual Steam setup, but I presume installing CORE straight into the Arma folder should do the trick. As far as I know the main difference between a Steam install and a 'regular' install is the directory it's installed into.

I have steam too.


And yeah, there's a quick and clean way to install mods.


1. Find the latest version of JSGME.

2. Follow it's instructions. (You'll want to install the MOD directory, AND JSGME into the Doomsday folder. It IS the Arma folder. It kind of fooled me too, but don't worry.)

3. Create a steam-shortcut to JSGME. You know, in your game list.

When you want to play a mod, activate JSGME, find the mod you want, activate it, then open HoI2 Arma. Your mod, if you followed mine and JSGME's instructions, should be turned on and playable.

So far, it has worked for CSABadasses Confederate mod, and Post Axis War Mod. :D

There is no arma folder tho, only HOI2 than the doomsday subfolder even though i can play arma
Then 'Doomsday' is the Armageddon folder in question. Just select that one when installing.

As to JSGME: as we use moddir this isn't actually necessary in case of CORE.

I had guessed that the DD folder was Arma so i installed it in their and launched the game from the core shortcut but when launched it just launches vanilla Arma. i will try the JGSME (is that an abbreviation for something?) Also when the Arma main screen is up on the top right it says its version 1.2, could that be a problem?

CORE 0.40 is designed for the 1.3 beta 2 patch - it will NOT work with the 1.2 patch without lots of backtracking on your part and reworking of many things.

Upgrade to the 1.3b2 patch, therefore, to run CORE 0.40 as it meant to be seen.

Check the shortcut... It should read something like
target: "C:\Games\HoI2 ARM\Hoi2.exe" mod-CORE2
With mod-CORE2 being the directory that is actually located in the directory listed in the target. So in my case C:\Games\HoI2 ARM\mod-CORE2 is the directory where all the COREd stuff is located. Verify the directory indeed is in the proper location.
