opendome 91 Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Hello! I am trying to edit the Esbekistan MSO 4.5 mission file but I cannot seem to unpack it. Ive tried three different pbo tools but they all give me a similar error (eliteness for instance gives me a "cannot write" in the middle of the extraction process, PBOviewer doesn't recognize it as a Arma2 file...etc). Its weird because this is the only mission file that seems to do this :(. I want to add the Advanced Interaction Module, FFAA Terrorists/vehicles, and possibly change on the of BLUFOR squads to Special Forces skins. Any help is greatly appreciated. I love MSO and I love this map but Im extremely frustrated with this. Thanks! Edited December 20, 2012 by Opendome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 3954 Posted December 21, 2012 Hi Opendome, There are other tools you can try--> https://dev-heaven.net/projects/mikero-pbodll/files or CPBO http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=411 I use CPBO, and I cna extract, and create pbo's If you want I could extract the mission for you, and then give you a link to download the extracted folder if you want, would that help?

opendome 91 Posted December 21, 2012 Thanks for your help! I tried using CPBO but it just flashes an empty dos screen then CTDs. If you wouldnt mind extracting it that would be amazing! Thanks so much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 3954 Posted December 21, 2012 Hmm weird, works fine on winxp, ya I'll open the mission for you, send me a link to download it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunter Severloh 3954 Posted December 21, 2012 Here you go: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/42601124/MSO%20Mission%20Unpacked.zip I had extracted it, then put it into a zip file, just extract the zip and the mission file is in a folder as it should be. Your welcome, if you need any help with the game or whatever related then give me a shout, Im on here everyday. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
opendome 91 Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Thanks so much!!! I really appreciate it!!! Now the pain goes on, when I open it in the arma editor, the map appears to be empty. Just to check I added the AIM module, tried to start the mission and it was a blank mission. What did I do wrong now? lol. I extracted it to my MPMissions folder, I can see it in there (highlighted blue) but when I try and run the mission without doing anything to it yet, it wont start or do anything. When I open the mission in the editor the map is empty Edited December 21, 2012 by Opendome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HERR VADER 6 Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) You really need to learn some basics... I extracted it to my MPMissions folder Wrong folder move extracted missions to: your documents/arma2/missions But... maybe i misunderstood you Edited December 21, 2012 by HERR VADER Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 3954 Posted December 21, 2012 Opendome I have a tutorial I put together a year ago that explains where to place mission files--> http://warmod.webs.com/importmissiontoeditor.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
opendome 91 Posted December 21, 2012 Oh yea its in there (I tried putting a copy in both missions and mp missions under my docuements/arma 2 other profiles/profile name, I can see it in the editor and in the mission file list under Eskebistan, I can open it but it displays nothing in the editor (literally just the empty map). If I go to preview without editing anything it appears to run like the other one, but as soon as I change anything and push preview the file size goes down to 4kb and becomes unplayable ---------- Post added at 00:25 ---------- Previous post was at 00:24 ---------- Opendome I have a tutorial I put together a year ago that explains where to place mission files--> http://warmod.webs.com/importmissiontoeditor.htm I really cant thank you enough, Im going to head to bed now but Ill def give it a try first thing tomorrow!

HERR VADER 6 Posted December 21, 2012 I think i have found the problem please try this one https://www.dropbox.com/s/70a407q0ye28qaf/mso_32_ace_coop_baf_usa_vs_tak_ins_4-5.esbekistan.7z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
opendome 91 Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Thanks both of you!!!! When I open yours Herr it displays things, but as soon as I edit anything all of the player slots turn to playable AI slots and the town zones dont seem to be appearing. Basically what I want to do is add the AIM script and change some skins to Ranger skins (and add FFAA terrorists/vehicles if I can) Edited December 21, 2012 by Opendome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
opendome 91 Posted December 22, 2012 Its weird, when I did it with Clafghan it wasnt nearly this hard ---------- Post added at 16:51 ---------- Previous post was at 16:49 ---------- It seems to also be happening when I save it, I just save it with a 2 at the end so I can differentiate between the original and the one with AIM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
