Pbo View not working with OA Files?

[santafee 10]

If i try to open the campaign folder or any addon folder, it says:" It seems like this is no Arma Folder" . Are there any other programs then PBO View which could work?

That's both a surprise and a shame.

I would have guessed the PBO format would remain the same in OA, but (perhaps related to plans for DLC) maybe BIS has changed it for their data. I use PBO View 1. because it works on Win 7 and 2. because it's really convenient.

Huh? I don't know what version I use, but I didn't say it worked with OA stuff. I don't even have OA (only the Germans and BIS do)...

ah ok tought your one of the luckies allready;)

it seems like there are no object compositions yet in OA...

that was why i looking for open the CA Folder with PBO VIEW:...<<<<

in arma2 you called the objectMapper.sqf file from the CA folder.

_newObjs = [getPos this, random 360, "FuelDump1_US"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));

so i thought i just replace the "ca" on beginning with "ca_e".

sadly it didnt work, cause theres no objectMapper.sqf in Arrowhead.

I hope we got desert compositions for OA, cause its great to make mission with them...also if someone got a idea with the PBO problem, i would appreciate help:)

Arma Tools by Kegetys (cpbo.exe) works with OA files without the header block:

Every time i try to use cpbo, it always creates some blank text file with nothing on it. It never opens anything. The only one I ever got to work right was pboview. Either i'm doing it wrong or i have so many pbo openers that they conflict with each other.

You need to edit the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\cpbo.exe\shell\open\command registry key.

By default it's probably:

(Default) REG_SZ "C:\Users\whoever\Documents\cpbo.exe" "%1"

Or wherever you installed it to. This will just open a PBO, meaning you get a flash of a dos window and nothing else. If you change it to this:

(Default) REG_SZ "C:\Users\whoever\Documents\cpbo.exe" -e "%1"

Then when you double click on a PBO file it'll extract it into a folder in the same directory.

The registry setting for creating a PBO from a folder is this:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\create PBO\command

(Default) REG_SZ "C:\Users\whoever\Documents\cpbo.exe" -p "%1"

That will allow you to right click on a folder and create a PBO out of it.

At least with my latest install (move cpbo.exe somewhere you want to keep it, then right click on it and Run As Administrator and answer yes you want to make changes) the only thing I had to do was fix the -e thing above. Otherwise it integrated into the shell fine and using it is transparent. Double click to open a pbo and rclick to make one.

PboView from this thread seems to work with OA files. Download link is in first post.

ArmA PBO View has been updated.

The readme says so.

Everything seems to work ok, except they seem to have broken the ability to read CONFIG.BIN and RVMAT files live.

It certainly seems to unpack everything ok.

Find it per Tony's link back to the ArmA1 forums;
