Use cpbo from Kegetys, part of his ArmA Tools.

Read the readme carefully on how to install and use it. So far it unpacked and packed every ArmA pbo for me.

Well,seems like unrap helped in making it work,but now i get error msg about destruct.rvmat and my character just goes crouch and up all the time!And no,this is not illegal copy and i'm quite sure i have typed serial right(well,it might be hard to tell difference of "o" and "o").

The problem you are experiencing seems to be related to paths. I may be mistaken, but you should be able to fix the problem using BinPBO from the BI mod tools with the "prefix" parameter. Since all BI addons reference paths as "CA\...", even when they are not in the CA pbo, I believe this may be the source of your problem. Repacking the PBO without the proper prefix seems to be breaking the paths for you.

By the way, excuse the question, but: why do you need to repack the characters.pbo to "finally start playing the game"?

I mean:

"my character just goes crouch and up all the time!And no,this is not illegal copy and i'm quite sure i have typed serial right(well,it might be hard to tell difference of "o" and "o")."

So i can't do anything then this kick's in!

So the problem you are experiencing even occurs on a clean game install? I'm not understanding the correlation between your wish to rebuild your character.pbo and the problems you are experiencing.

I'm assuming you need to rebuild the character.pbo because you unpacked it for some reason.

So please indulge me by answering the following question:

Why did you unpack it in the first place?

Well,sure they are 2 separate problems.But more important is to find out why this crouching thing happens.I think it is fade,because it happens after about 10 minutes in the editor or mission.Reason to modify characters is that i don't want to collect hudreds of external mod files,so i have to do some "internal" editing.

Have you checked your controls that you do not have, for example, a joystick axis assigned to one of the crouch keys?

Does the crouching problem happen on a clean ArmA install with only patches 1.05->1.08->1.14 applied and no mods or addons? Also, which game version do you have (EU retail, Morphicon etc.)?

As for the external mods: you might want to consider using a mod folder for third party mods, instead of fiddling around with the character.pbo, because by changing it, you are essentially making the signature invalid - which is detected as using hacked data. Most servers ban for doing that, so MP would be out of the question.

505 version,1.14 patch.Only 1 key for crouch.It can't be addons because it happens after 10-15 minutes playing.I don't play mp.I have to keep pbo count minimum because i edit very often.
