Request: official mission file editing.

[papa6 10]

I rather enjoy the BI missions. so much so, sometimes I like thinking outside of the box and wonder, what if... what if I put a tank or two, here, here or there? could BI release the original mission files or make we users able to open the file, add/remove things and make derivatives of the missions? We'll add the code for our changes that we make.

Well, you can extract the pbo files on your own and then edit the files. There's no real magic behind it.

also you can get http://store.steampowered.com/app/390500/Arma_3_Samples/ incl. missions, etc unpacked.

 

also http://store.steampowered.com/app/233800/Arma_3_Tools for extraction tools etc

A3 Samples does not contain the real campaign mission files, only (like it says) samples for you to learn and make your own. 

 

@papa6 I suggest you get a pbo unpacker and go into a3/addons and look for missions_f till you find one you'd like to open. It's a tedious process if you don't know where to look, since there are many folders with dependencies (so you need to put almost the whole unpacked in your mymissions subfolder).
