Export mission to multi player in Arma / Open a pbo file

[MO]

For Any arma 2 full game,

After finished ur own mission, save it as EXPORT TO MULTI PLAYER MISSION in editor, not copy from ur mission folder in mydocument.

by this way, you will get a .pbo file and its normal mission file format for Arma series game and scripts/sound/image can run for everyone and missions run perfect.

When you save ur mission as "export to multi player mission" , it ll create a .pbo automatic under ur

MPMISSIONS

folder in

game root

.

Also you have a mission folder in game root

, its for ur single player missions

.

If u create a MPMISSION folder under mydocument like as demo game, you can edit ur mission while you

r in server but it won't run script for

other clients. this working just for test mission , but not sugge

sted.

De PBO ( open mission pbo file)

Eliteness is best software for opening pbo file , official mission and also orginal arma games files.

Eliteness is the application recommended for the user preferring a standard GUI interaction instead of dos consoles.

The Dos Tools offer great flexibility and power. They can be used via the windows cmd shell or shell extensions

Thx, saved me of some looking

[sasha]

when i save to multiplayer where description and init file should be placed to get inside pbo?

[MO]

inside pbo file. you don't need to move them elsewhere, every single file in ur mission, will save inside pbo file, init/description/music/image/scripts/and other files...

" all files must be inside ur mission folder" so you have this files in ur mission folder, example:
Coop.chernarus folder ( my mission) and inside it:
mission.sqm/init.sqf/description.ext/scripts/image/sound

when hit export for multi, it become COOP.chernarus a pbo file.

when hit export for multi in editor, all saing inside pbo file so keep looking for size, don't made it very big, it will send and load for other client in multi player .
