A lot of mods don't work or work properly with the latest ARMA,need other items to get them to work or have been lost so I've made this thread to stick them or anyone else to mention in so long as they more or less work.
Some of them are mods that people have found and reuploaded so I would virus check them to be on the safe side.
Making it Work
To load and use a mod folder it has to be added to the game's Startup Parameters "-mod". This is done by creating a new executable shortcut and editing the startup parameters.
If for example you are trying to load a mod named @test the startup command might look like this:
C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE" -mod=@test
To load several mods separate their names with the ";" character.
C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE" -mod=@test;@test2

Arma CWC AKA Operation Flashpoint
Some old mods have installers that look for FlashpointResistance.exe so you might need to make a copy of the ColdWarAssault.exe and rename it to that.

ECP v1.085 and the 1085e patch
Has some special effects,sounds mods and a couple of A.I changes.
ECP Redux v1.3 1.45GB
A link of a link in steam forums. It looks like it's the above with a load of extra missions and addons someone's bundled into it. You can change screen ratios from the games profile section.
It also has the DXDLL which allows some direct graphics changes explained here. You can stop it working by moving the d3d8.dll out of the main folder. Also the screenshot function spits out black tga files for some reason.
