Title: Campaign PBO
Post by: Ext3rmin4tor on 26 Mar 2009, 18:02:06

Can you tell me how you compress a folder containing campaign files into a .pbo file from the mission editor. I did the following steps but the campaing doesn't display in the campaign list:

- I created a folder called SahraniConflict.Sara containing a folder "missions" with my missions, the campaign description.ext and the overview.html

- I selected Save -> Export to singleplayer missions

- Copied/Pasted the SharaniConflict.Sara.pbo file into the Campaigns folder

Did I miss something, cause the name doesn't appear in the list, it only appears if I copy the SahraniConflict.sara folder inside the Campaigns folder?

I don't think you can do it like that, you have to manually .pbo the campaign folder using for instance cpbo (found in the Kegetys ArmA Tools (http://www.ofpec.com/addons_depot/index.php?action=details&id=15) package) or Mikero's Eliteness (http://www.ofpec.com/addons_depot/index.php?action=details&id=41). Both should be painless and easy to use :)

Wolfrug out.

My procedure works, I just needed to reload the game after moving the .pbo file from the singleplayer mission folder to the campaign one. If I remember well this procedure was suggested by BIS to allow you to create a campaign .pbo without using a third party tool.
