How do i view a mission from someone else

[starstreams 0]

I don’t get this stuff; I used the PBOTool101a tool to extract a default mission file called Commander.

The PBOTool created a folder that had a bunch of files in side it: some of the files were script, html, and java files.

I moved the entire folder from the mission’s folder to my Users’s /Missions folder and tried to load the mission after I had picked my island, but nothing shows up?

If the PBOTool is for extracting a mission, then wouldn’t that mean I need to move the folder it creates to my User/Missions folder to open it in the Editor?

I’m trying to learn how all this works and its getting very confusing, I just need to start looking at some missions to get an idea of how it’s all put together but I can’t even do that. Can someone please tell me how to load a mission that someone else made so I can see the enter picture?

Thanks in advance!

You might need to rename the dePbo-ed mission folder; depending on which island it was made for.  ie.

Desert = Intro

Everon = Eden

Malden = Abel

Kolgujev = Cain

So the folder should have one of the above behind it; ie

missionname.Eden

Hellow Bosun, thanks for replying!

The folder is already called (10Commander.ABEL) that is the name the PBO Tool gave it when it created the folder. I just moved it from the Missons folder of the root of the OFP directory to the Missions folder which is inside the Users folder. I'm not sure why the PBO tool put it in the main Missions folder.

Btw, if I can ask something related. When you make a multi player map, doses there need to be one guy set to (player) for each side? "Kind of like in a single mission", or do you set all 12 guys on each team to to “Playable�

I’m basically trying to set it up so when someone gets killed on the map, they respawn when they hit their fire key, but it’s not working. I'd also like the vehicles to do the same?

It (Pbotool) probably emptied the extracted file from where it originated.  I usually copy the pbo mission straight into the pbo tool folder and it keeps everything in there.. ( saves on any accidents with ofp folders)

Sorry can't help on your other quest, haven't attempted any mp missions.  But from your other thread you seem to be on your way.  ..perhaps someone else will help you on this. If not - ask here;

Moving the folder is not a problem; I put it in the missions-sub folder of the Users folder

Example C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\Users\Starstreams\missions

Anyway, it will not load, I loaded the correct map first but the mission will not load.
