You need to use the BI tools, specifically BinPBO with the orange icon.

Settings I use on BinPBO program:

Addon Source directory:

p:\mapname

Destination directory:

D:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA2\@mapname\AddOns

Binarize option ticked.

Options window:

List of files to copy directly:

*.pac;*.paa;*.rtm;*.sqf;*.sqs;*.bikb;*.fsm;*.wss;*.ogg;*.wav;*.fxy;*.csv;*.html;*.lip;*.txt;*.wrp;*.bisurf;*.rvmat

Path to temporary folder:

D:\ArmA Temporary

hope it helps.

It seems that the game can't find the models usually because of bad P:\ drive set-up. Did you extract all the correct .pbo's from the ArmA 2 Addons directory to the P:/CA Directory?

For example:

1) navigate to X:/Program Files/..../ArmA 2/Addons

(where "X" is the drive where the game is installed, usually C:\ and "..." is the path where the game is installed susually: C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\AddOns)

2) Find a .pbo called "buildings.pbo" and extract it using some tool like cpbo.

3) A folder called "buildings" will appear in the Addons folder, move the buildings folder to P:\CA

Then do this for the rest of the folders.

NOTE: When you extract a .pbo, inside each folder there is a file called "$PBOPREFIX$", if you open it with notepad it will tell you exactly where to put the folder in the P:\ drive.

Hope this helps :smile: if it doesn't help just post here and we will get it to work in no time!
