[Arma 3 Tools] how to pack a campaign?

Recommended Posts

Hi guys!

 

I am trying right now to pack a test campaign I made and I am kinda confused with the packing of it:

 

  • If I paste the folder (not pbo) in the campaigns folder in A3, then it shows up ingame.
  • If I use Kegetys Arma Tools from Armaholic and use the pbo packer from there, it also shows up in the game
  • But if I use Arma 3 FileBank, Publisher or Addon Builder the campaign will not show up at all....

I would be glad if someone could tell me how to use the official tools correctly so the campaign shows up ingame, not that of a fan relying on external tools.

 

Thanks!

You sure the folder structure etc is correct? You might want to check out the content of your newly created pbo and compare it to the content of the other pbo file you've made.

Yes it is correct, or it wouldn't even work without packing it or using a 3rd party tool to do that.

 

It only doesn't work with the official tools.

If it's of any consolidation, the official PBO tools never worked well for me either. They seem to require some P: drive set up just to pack folder contents into a PBO. They *seem* to be working, but if you open/extract the created PBO, there's only the config.bin stub (if packing a mod).

I can very much recommend https://github.com/KoffeinFlummi/armake- if only I had known about this sooner, I wouldn't have written my own C-based PBO packer. :)
