CPL. MacDonald 0 Posted August 12, 2007 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...

Guest Ti0n3r Posted August 12, 2007 Download WinRar and extract the files from the rar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattxr 9 Posted August 12, 2007 lmao. adding rar/zip files to the addon folders.. well you gotta start somewhere sometime. RAR/ZIP files are Compression Tools to make folders with files in them smaller in size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baddo 0 Posted August 12, 2007 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 Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
