Shemagh Bikey's not working?

[Cunico 995]

I have made some bikey's for my SHemaghs I have made, but I am getting reports that it doesn't work. How could I possibly be doing this wrong? I followed the 1 and only tutorial on how to do it step by step with no problems, so now I am stuck on how to go about fixing this issue. I would appreciate if someone could help me out with this situation so people can use my mod on their servers.

Can you step through exactly what you did? I know you said there is only one guide but I personally found a few with different approaches

Trying to find the video, its real old with like 280p quality. I just watched the video that explains it and had no problems. I have a folder in my :P drive called "Bam" and inside the folder is the applications to pack addons. THan I put all my .pbo's in there and signed them like the video said. Does it matter where the .pbo's are? This is my first addon so Not really sure.

Are you using the newest tools DSUtils 2?

I havent watched the video in full but its not what I used and the approach you outlined is slightly different to what I do. The main difference being that I used BinPBO to make the bisign file.

Below are the steps I took to create the biprivatekey and bikey (used to make the bisign):

1. Create a new directory C:\ArmASign
   
2. copy file DSCreateKey in the directory
   
3. open cmd start>run>cmd
   
4. enter commands C: then cd armasign
   
5. create your key with command DScreatekey myname (obviously myname = whatever you want to call it e.g cunicosmod)
   

After these steps you end up with myName.bikey' and a privateKey 'myName.biprivatekey'.

And below are the steps to use BinPBO to make the bisign

1. Open BinPBO and go to 'Options'
   
2. Under 'Path to signature file' click 'Change'
   
3. Navigate to the directory C:\ArmASign and select your myname.biprivatekey
   
4. Back in the options menu click ok which takes you back to the main menu
   
5. On the main menu tick the box that says "Create Signature"
   
6. PBO your files
   

With this approach every time you compile your mod into a PBO it will also create the bisign file.

The bisign file goes with the pbo file in the addons folder of your mod. The bikey is for servers so I just put it in a folder called "keys" and include it in the zip file I upload.
