I meant that you could try to use Kegetys cpbo to unpack too... I use his tools with good result.

@hamis... I curious as to why you think it's necessary to unpack the characters.pbo AND then sqaush it back up again (after presumably you are making some changes)??

Do you realize that you don't need to touch the contents of characters.pbo to make alterations that will effect the gameplay of stuff inside of it?

why don't you explaing what you were trying to do to the contents of characters.pbo.

Ahh... silly me... I just realized that this is a old'ish thread... so you've probably worked it out by now...

Ok... well, you can technically do that... it's not really the way you should do it though.

You are better off making an 'Addon' of your own that overides the BIS default stuff and uses your modified stuff in it's place.

The benefits are that one doesn't end up 'harming' one's default BIS content or making it more time consuming altering your setup if you happen to go on pub servers with protection running and one's alterations are usually much smaller when repackaged back up into a .pbo.

Also, you might think it's of benefit to let others in the ArmA community use it as well.

I'm surprised you haven't worked this out as it's hard to miss in these forums how one goes about making an addon & overiding/extending the capabilities of the standard BIS content.

It's entirely up to you though... good luck.
