How to pack a new custom map into PBO and make a mod folder?

[l4z0rr0b0tz 46]

EDIT:  Figured it out.  Pbopacker for the win.

Hey all,

I just finished the ATLAS tutorial (which is really, really awesome by the way).  I made this custom terrain using that, and packed it into a .pbo file using "Addon Builder".  Then I put it in a folder in my arma called @l4z0r_samplemap, and put the .pbo into a subfolder called "Addons".  I loaded it into arma 3 using the launcher, and was expecting to see this sample map available in the editor when I launched the game, but it's not there.

I think I might need help with this step.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or if it's more complicated than that, point me to a resource?  I was told Mikero's pbo project was useful, but I figured Addon builder was the same thing.  Maybe I'm mistaken.

Thanks again for the help in advance, I appreciate this community bigtime.

Editior missions are saved to     My Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\YOURPROFILENAME\mpmissions that's why you can't find it.

 

I've never used Addon Builder so I can't say for sure that it will work, but I use PBO Manager it is fantastic and adds packing and extraction to right mouse click!
