Can I do this? (PBO Prefix one level higher?)

Recommended Posts

This is the code:

PBO prefix originals (= 3 PBOs):

ca\plants2\bush

ca\plants2\clutter

ca\plants2\misc

files in bush plants pbo:

examplebush.p3d

data\examplebush.paa

files in bush clutter pbo:

exampleclutter.p3d

data\exampleclutter.paa

My pbo prefix: = 1 PBO

ca\plants2

files in 1 plants.pbo

bush\examplebush.p3d

bush\data\examplebush.paa

clutter\exampleclutter.p3d

clutter\data\exampleclutter.paa

Will this work? In my opinion it should.

hmm, I can't say for certain but i guess that you might have issues with filepaths for the models/textures if you did that. Although the method you suggest appears to have the same pathnames...

MAybe the issue would come from something trying to reference say, "brush\examplebrush.p3d" rather than "plants2\brush\examplebrush.p3d"

Still it might work, I dunno if BIS have a reason for having done it like they have.

That should work fine...

As far as I can remember, the actual Arma 2 "plants2.pbo" contains separate folders for bush, clutter, tree, etc, plus a $PBOPREFIX$ which reads "ca\plants2"... I'd suggest a quick unpbo of plants2 just to make sure I'm right on that... assuming I am, then its actually in the structure you want anyway... I'm pretty sure Beton packaged our Replacement pack differently so each veg type was independant and modular, it doesnt need to be that way...

No.

You can't use ca namespace, its BIS namespace. Make your own and use that.

Ok I wasn't 100 % sure. But what I wanted to achieve in short is all plant things in one pbo, instead of having five of them.

Thank you!

A MAJOR no-no normally, but it's OK in this case SnakeMan - it's for a vegetation replacement pack - designed to overwrite default CA stuff on load...
