i'd suspect mission.sqm of having a missing section perhaps? Or you have a zero-length script.

What exactly did you pack into your PBO?

Strange, it should have made a PBO file. Are you absolutely sure about that?

Did you create a pbo of just those files? Or a folder called Whatever.utes or Whatever.chernarus with those files in it?

Try it with the folder, create a folder called "mymap.utes" or "mymap.chernarus" depending on which island it's set on. Put the files in that folder, then create the PBO of that folder.

cpbo.exe only works on folders, so not sure why whatever tool you're using is letting you just take files and PBO them. :)

Or just move those files to:

My Docs\ArmA 2 Other Profiles\Your profile\missions\mymap.islandnamehere then open it in the editor and Save to Singleplayer missions, or MP whichever.

i used cpbo, then i guess i had to make it from a folder. installing an dedicated server myself now so i can try myself without having to mail them to a friend each time.
