Mission name issue

Recommended Posts

Names of missions on the dedicated server list seems to randomly change between the mission name from the editor and the folder name.

Anyone have a similar experience, and/or know what the issue is here?

Binarized vs Unbinarized mission file.

Arma doesn't try to look for the mission name in a unbinarized file because it knows it would take far too long to load it.

Thanks, I had no idea that was a thing!
On that note, is it generally recommended to binarize mission files?

If binarized it'll load faster. If unbinarized you can edit it to you hearts content in a text editor, even to the point of breaking your mission, so be warned.

You can also unbinarize it by hand if you need to edit it as a text file. And binarize it again when you pack it bakc into a PBO.
Unless you intent to modify the mission via text editor directly after saving it (for example to remove some requiredAddons) you should always binarize.
