How can I change missoin.pbo name without messing up the server?

Recommended Posts

Right now I'm working on a wasteland server, but I've had a exile sever and noticed the same thing.

 

I'll have a mission named something like "A3Wasteland_v1.2b.Altis.pbo"  But if I change it to something like "A3Wasteland_v1.2b.Altis.ITG.pbo" The server won't work.

I've even changed the class Misisons part of my config, to match the newly named mission.  But it just causes the server to not start.

 

The reason I want to do this is because every other server has the same mission name and you have to download a new one for every server and the previous one gets deleted.

 

Thanks,

I want to say its because its expecting the mission name then the map but you have the mission name, map and then something else.

 

I dont know what ITG stands for but if its not a map try something like "A3Wasteland_v1.2b_ITG.Altis.pbo", if it is a map then you would want "A3Wasteland_v1.2b.ITG.pbo".

I could be wrong but I think that would cause issues

If you rename the mission in the editor, only the mission.sqm is copied over to the newly named mission folder

If your existing mission name has spaces in it and you resave that as itself, the same will happen

 

To work around this, copy the mission to an external directory, rename the mission there with a file manager and then copy the newly named mission back into the editor. User/MpMissions folder

From there you will have full editing function and can then export to Multiplayer

"A3Wasteland_v1.2b.Altis.ITG.pbo"

 

This can not work. Arma expects a format like this: <name>.<map>.pbo so you could so something like: "A3Wasteland_v1.2b.ITG.Altis.pbo" and you mission name for the server cfg would be: A3Wasteland_v1.2b.ITG.Altis
