How edit already made missions?

[Doolittle 0]

I'm sorry to ask this.. :D

So I see that missions I've played on someone else's server go here:

C:\Users\Doolittle\AppData\Local\Arma 3\MPMissionsCache

And I see that in the game if I go to Editor, I load and save missions as "User mission" they go here:

C:\Users\Doolittle\Documents\Arma 3\missions

"Export to single missions" here (as pbo):

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Missions

"Export to multiplayer missions" here (as pbo):

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\MPMissions

Now, in Arma2 I liked to go directly to Multiplayer, start my own LAN server, "Host new mission", and then from there I could pick a mission and do Edit. I have extracted a bunch of missions and put them into:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\MPMissions

They show up and I can select them, but when I click Edit to edit them, I just hear a click sound but nothing happens and I can't edit. Why? What am I doing wrong? (Note these are extracted pbo missions)(They used to show up in Arma2 as a diff color if pbo or folder)

Note I tried to find info here before coming to the forums:

UnzipExtract the PBO and move the file to: C:\Users\Doolittle\Documents\Arma 3\MPMissions

The Missions/MPMissions folder in the Arma install dir is only for pbo'ed missions. For editable ones (folder) they have to go under your Arma profile stored in MyDocuments as Kylania mentioned.

Unzip the PBO and move the file to: C:\Users\Doolittle\Documents\Arma 3\MPMissions

PBO's are not zipped as such. Yes they are compressed, but not by zip code (ha ha pun..)

You will need a PBO extractor such as ExtractPbo.exe

See ExtractPbo2.10.0.3.Installer.exe

Correct you are sir! Didn't even realize I said unzip instead of extract. :) Fixed.
