Hello, I am having trouble editing the bpOs. I have vilayer as a host, with arma 2 they decompiled through their web interface but arma 3 does not. I have PBO manager, I download the PBOs to get to the mission SQF and it comes up looking like this http://puu.sh/miWHg/f938c5d1b1.png I could use a push in the right direction please.

Is that Barney or Grimace in your avatar ?
It is Grimace. I am going to try it right now.

Did you figure it out ? Perhaps I could make a fast video
I have not done it yet as per the new instructions I was given. A fast vid might help others though as well so please feel free to make one if it is not much of an inconvenience.

When you open a file directly inside the PBO it gets copied to a temp file on your hard drive. Once you make your edits and go to save them the new file gets saved in the temp file and does NOT go back into the PBO, which means any changes you make don't take hold inside the PBO. So what you need to do is open the PBO, select the file you want to edit, copy and paste it to your desktop, make your edits and save it, then copy and paste it back into the PBO. Profit! :)
I am in game messing around ATM but I will do what you are saying. I do not see why it would not work. Thank you so much for your help.

Don't unpack and repack the PBO. Just copy and paste the files out from and back into the file as needed. With the unpack/repack you run the risk of the file not repacking correctly.
I am very sorry I am being so noob here. I ran an epoch server on the arma 2 engine through vilayer and their UI unpacked them automatically so this is my first time doing it "legit". I have PBO manager to read them. You say not to unpack / repack it. I download the PBO and open it with PBO manager, edit what I need to edit then I try to upload. what am I doing wrong? How can I get the descriptions.ext etc without unpacking the whole PBO? Again, I am sorry for noob question but I am trying to learn and I appriciate your help.
-
1) Place your loadscreen image in the mission pbo root directory (where description.ext and mission.sqm are)
2) description.ext
Change this:
loadScreen = "\x\addons\a3_epoch_assets\pictures\loadScreen_ca.paa";
To:
loadScreen = "loadscreen.jpg";
When i try to upload the new PBO I get a critical file transfer error. Am I missing a step in repackaging the PBO or something?

Figured out ty.

you can go into the DB and add shit into them.
Trying. Using a Vilayer host and cannot find the right DB login info. have a ticket into them. I did it with epoch on arma 2 using navicat so I'll just wait. I wish there was a way to auto populate all of them to have some loot for sale.
Is this standard for the game? Vanilla they all have nothing?
-
I am told the traders only have for sale that which was sold to them by other players. Are there no "static" traders that have basic goods in stock always? If so, where are they? Thank you.

I did and could not find the answer. Why are you coming into my two threads where I am looking for help and being a prick? Answer or don't. Why even have this forum if your help is "google it"? I am looking for expertise and all I am getting from you is some troll shit.
-
Do you have to be rude? I'm learning, and not as good as you. That is why I am here on "Server Install help" looking for help. Either answer it or don't but you don't have to be an asshole.
-
I am trying to add a custom image for the loading screen but am unable to find a description.ext. I use both filezilla and Vilayer's internal file management. Any help would be great. Thank you so much.

Hi. I started my first Epoch Mod Arma 3 server tonight. loot is spawning but I have yet to see an in tact vehicle. Also traders have nothing to trade. Do I have a database problem? Any help would be much appreciated. thank you.
-
I am in the wrong thread. Excuse me.
-
Not sure what didn't make sense, but I have since found some loot, but am not given an option to pick it up.
-
Hi. Thanks in advance. New install. Worked with epoch on arma 2 a lot. I spawn into the first area and go click on the closest disk. It teleports me to another starting area. No loot anywhere. No one will talk to me. I went to town, can't find shit. Went to the church, found an empty shoebox. Should more loot be spawning vanilla like this? Or am I having some other kind of problem.
If you need me to paste anything let me know I'll provide you with what I have.

In my steam/steamapps/common/Arma3 I had an EXE from a program I was using for a localhost server. I deleted it and it fixed the problem for me. Perhaps someone else looking for help on this problem will find something similar and it helps them.
