Trying to hookup .PBO files???

[SpyderPB6 10]

Hello guys,

I have just created a workable deathmatch mission in the mission wizard, using the deathmatch template. The only issue is, I would like to convert that Arma2Missionwizard file to a .pbo in order to play it on our dedicated server.

Can anyone explain how this could be done?

Thanks,

Mike.

Been looking for that as well, but could not find anything more relevant than this post when searching for "wizard"...

cpbo.exe makes files into pbo:s.

however i made the mistake and looked in the wrong place when i exported it to a multiplayer mission, dont know where the wizard saves, but u might wanna look in the game folder instead of my documents.

The wizard saves the file in my documents\mpmissions, and not in my documents\mpmissions\missionname, and the file is a wizard file and not an sqm nor a pbo.

Won't work with wizard missions beceause they don't actually produce mission files.

I've never used the wizard really (I think I may have once way back in OFP, don't really remember) but isn't there an option to export it to either single/multiplayer? If not then I'm not sure there's anything you can do. From what I know the wizard creates special files that only the wizard can translate into a playable mission, so just PBOing it won't do, you need a mission.sqm at least.

Download the Official ArmA editing Tools theres a program in it called BinPbo which basicly converts a directory to a pbo file.

Yea, still doesn't produce a mission.sqm which wizard files are lacking...

Would be nice if people who make suggestions would actually check if they work before the suggest them :(

So I assume there is no known solution? Too bad, because the wizard missions could actually become good gameplay with some basic editing, while re-writing them or using something someone else re-wrote is much more difficult.

try to put the wziard mission in your arma 2 editor folder than open it in the editor and safe the mission as ready arma 2 editor makes mission fils as sqs or what ever and change them in pbo. mybe this helps.

This probably also won't work, because the editor will only load .sqm files.

Is this really that hard? I mean, when you post something like this think how many people are going to waste their time trying something that does not work, instead of you just spending a few minutes to test it once before posting.
