convert rar file to pbo

Recommended Posts

I have tried many different addons now and they never seem to work. I think I have figured out my problem, the addons that do work are pbo files but the ones that don't are RAR files.

So how do I convert my RAR files to pbo's?

Thanks...

Matthew

Download WinRar and extract the files from the rar.

lmao. adding rar/zip files to the addon folders.. crazy_o.gif well you gotta start somewhere sometime.

RAR/ZIP files are Compression Tools to make folders with files in them smaller in size.

Well some games use ZIP files to store data (maybe drop file extension to fool you).

So the idea of using ZIP'd addons could work for some game, but not for ArmA  biggrin_o.gif
