Cannot repack without corruption - pbo manager

[Noobzilla]

pretty basic, I've searched all over the web and tried a few different things to no avail.

 

Basically, I open Dayz_server.pbo with pbo manager.

If I extract it, then repack it and over write the current pbo without even making 1 edit, server doesn't work.

 

So I searched the web, it says $pboprefix file, this file dosent exist for me, am I a noob and I'm just supposed to make it?

I even re downloaded the server files from this website just to check, still didn't exist.

 

So without this file, I manually added the prefix to my new pbo, uploaded it without making any other edits. server doesn't work.

At the moment everything I have added is done through sqf's and called in the init, but this is very limiting.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

server is hosted locally for testing ect. It works fine until I touch a pbo.

Try using cpbo instead of pbo manager some host have problems with one or the other.

Edit: Ok since you are hosting yourself I'm not sure what's causing the problem but just try cpbo and reply back and if not I will give you some more options.

When using PBO Manager, dont double click the files so you get something to open - make sure you rightclick onyour PBO's and use the contect menu option (meaning in your mouse menu) to unpack PBO to it's own folder. 

 

It will produce a proper folder with all your files inside. Once you have made your changes, right click on the folder and in your mouse context menu select PBO Manager to Pack to "[your foldername].pbo". 

 

Doing it like that will avoid any issue of missing or corrupt pboprefix files. 

 

Or you can go with cpbo... it's up to you.
