Have you made sure your description.ext doesn't have a hidden extension on it? Default windows will allow you to change the filename without messing with the extension unless you show known extensions in your folder options. For example a file may show up as description.ext but in the background is actually description.ext.txt. Also the file type should show up as EXT File when in details view.

Yes. Are you deleting your singleplayer/multiplayer mission PBO's before attempting to recompile in the editor? As far as I know the editor will not overwrite existing files, also it helps to ensure you are getting a 100% up to date file in that location.

yeah i do that anyway, arma is tempremental :P .. it was just me being stupid, RESPAWNS DON'T WORK IN SINGLE PLAYER EDITOR, but i bet they do if u load a server and start a new editor mission there... :) thats where i was confused and i used to allways edit missions from the MP menu.. i have recently done it from SP menu, editor. its dumb.

yes, what i said above is true. If you use the single player menu to access the editor, respawns do not function. If you use the MP menu and start a server, then edit mission from there, the Respawns will work in the editor. if anyone else is getting annoyed with it, THATS WHY!!12!!
