Mapping for Combined Operations (w/steam)

Recommended Posts

Hey,

I wouldn't have started a new thread if there wasn't at least *one* important difference here to be aware of!

This applies to me and probably anyone else trying to map with ArmA 2: Combined Operations purchased off of *steam*. It might be the same if you bought it elsewhere, YMMV.

While I was setting up my work directory, specifically my P:/CA drive, I unpbo'd and moved all the important bits from both my Operation Arrowhead "Common" folder and of course the "Expansion" folder.

"Common" is where it gets tricky! At first glance you see what you would think would simply be copies of essential pbos common to both OA and A2. They even have the same names, such as "misc3.pbo". However these are NOT the same pbos! They aren't even close to being the same size, usually the A2 versions being MUCH larger!

Mikero pointed this out to me and suggested I try first unpbo'ing the ones found in my oa/common folder and then overwriting them with the ones from arma2/addons, so this is what I have done.

Testing is still going down on this so if anyone has any feedback or suggestions feel free to pitch in!

Yep. First common then a2\addons.

That said arma2p should do it all in the right order already.

I am still using the xcopy bat after arma2p to get models through binpbo still wont work if i have the dam clear temp ticked

But now all doors and ladders work ground textures have come back and map is 100% working now for a day or two untill vis or bull mess up lol

I have tried all combos to get this working old tut way arma2p way hex edit way still would like to know why bad p3ds show after the conversion to 48 it still sees as 49 if clear temp is ticked

Also notice either bulldozer or visitor mess up a lot just had map fine and good added more trees and then went to test. And ground mask has messed up after 4 weeks of no change to the mask go in game cant load it so another fresh install and its all good again

Starting to really hate these tools for crashes. @oktybr pm me if you need any thing as got it right now and want to help you do the same
