Where does the editor save/export missions to?

[Sandy106 1]

I've spent like 20 minutes looking through both my "My Documents" folder and the Arma 2 folder, and they're in neither folder. The my documents/arma 2/missions/ folder is completely empty, no files in it what so ever and the missions folder in the Arma 2 folder doesnt have them either. I'm on windows 7 using the retail/non steam version :/

It's supposed to be in my documents folder: Libraries/Documents/Arma 2 other profile/yourprofilename/user save

If you export, I belive the mission file ends up in your root game directory as a pbo, under missions and mpmissions, respectively. If you just save the mission, it goes into the documents folder.

Follow my tutorial and it will give you some info on how this works:

if you save it for multiplayer , then you find it in mpmissions on your arma install folder,

if you save it as mission , then you ca find it on user documents folder arma (sqm file)

also you can search your pc for *.pbo or *.sqm

I am having the same problem exporting to SP missions. I followed the process by Günter Severloh, and everything works up until the export to sp missions. When I save as user mission, I have the mission file in a folder in my user/docs/arma2/missions folder, but when i bring it up in the SP editor and try to export to sp missions, it doesn't create a pbo in the c/program files/bohemia/arma2/missions dir and the new mission doesn't show up in the sp/scenarios list.

I'm on A2:CO patch 1.62

Users not on admin accounts on Windows 7 and above will have their exported missions stored in %userprofile%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\ as Windows UAC doesn't let standard users create files in the program files directory.

In the unlikely case that BI wants to fix A2, OA, or A2F:

Custom missions:

Ducuments/Arma2/Missions

or

Documents/arma2/MPmissions

When you export it using the "pack to sp/mpmissions" then

Steamapps/common/arma2 oA/missions

or

Steamapps/common/arma2 OA/MPmissions
