there are some great missions like: E04 JACKAL, I dont understand why there is no option for coop play...

Hi an welcome to the forum

well it depends on the mission designer himself. MP and SP mission design are two different pair of shoes. Not every mission is designed for multiplayer if it's strictly designed for single player than you would need to transform the mission in multi player. On the other hand most multi player designed missions can be played also as single player but not the other way around.

kind regards

iirc Jackal is a one-man mission, you don't even have a team, so there's no point in it being coop. You could always open it up and edit it yourself I suppose.

That was exactly my thought.

hey how can I open it in editor

Let me help you out, what i got below was my response to a similer question for Arma, but the process is pretty much the same.

TOOLS

get yourself this tool:

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=411

in side it is a few tools, the one you want is CPBO, this you will need to open the PBO files that are in your MP missions folder which is located in your main Arma folder.

Another tool that comes in handy, and I use alot to look at scripts and adjust things is a tool called Armaedit

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=1455

this when you use it allows you to create various types of scripts, as well as look at scripts in missions that are not of your making.

=========================================

The Files

1st

Find your Arma profiles its along this path:

C:\Documents and Settings\Gunter Severloh\My Documents\ArmA\MPMissions

you will need this as inside it has the mp missions folder in it, anytime you create a mp mission in the editor that folder and mission will be inside the Mp missions folder.

2nd

1.Go to your MPmissions folder inside your main Arma folder.

2. Find your mission you want to edit.

3. open the mp mission with the CPBO tool.

4. a folder with same title or name will show up same as the mission pbo you just extracted.

5. Take that folder and move it to your:

C:\Documents and Settings\Gunter Severloh\My Documents\ArmA\MPMissions

MPmissions folder.

6. once it is in there then start your game and then go to multiplayer, not the editor, start a new server, name it whatever and then look for the mission it will be editable, open it up and do what you want to it.

7. Once you have done what you wish then be sure to save (export) it as a usermission and a multiplayer mission, saving it as a mpmission will update the existing mission pbo you have in your main Arma MPfolder.

TIPS

* when you edit any mp missions always edit Mp missions useing the basic default Arma game, do not edit mp missions with a modded arma or you will F%ck the mission up and render it unplayable, because your mission when played with something else will require those addons and mods you used to be there!

* When you save your mission, be sure to add all the script files and other misc files that your mission had in the folder with it when you unpbo'd it or the mission wont work as its missing files, you will find this out the hard way if you go play the mission and a window pops up saying the something something script is missing.

* simple way of all above is to:

1. unpbo the mission

2. move the mp mission to the mp missions folder under your profile

3. go into the mp editor, change the mission,

4. save the mission as multiplayer and a new pbo will be created or the existing one will be updated.

you can always delete the existing mpmission pbo after you unpbod it as when you save your mp mission in the mp editor it will create a new pbo.

The same process for SP missions apply except the missions will not be in your mp missions folder under your profile but under the missions folder.

Hope that helps.

Im sure theres other folks that could explain this better but its is fairly simple once you do it a couple of times.
