PBO Packing & Running of Scripts not working - Beginner needs help


Dyderich

Question

Greetings,

 

I have been trying to get scripts loaded into my server to spice up anything...but so far - no go.  Also too much terminology in the discussions are over my head at times...not knowing exactly what something means or where to place/find it...

 

 

There is a Dayz Epoch new map for Chernarus (17) which gives trader cities walls and such....

 

To follow the instructions:

Get the file..so I go to my HFB control panel in the File Manager and download the map file of Chernarus 11 (which I am guessing is what everyone calls an instance - which means totally nothing to me as instances are something where dedicated  groups play together in a game....like WOW...instance dungeons etc) - not the whole game is the instance.

 

So after downloading the map file....I use PBO Manager 1.4beta and open the pbo file I downloaded.

 

I get the option in PBO manager now to expand the file...seeing other stuff inside....so I want to extract this file into a folder...so right click it and extract into the same named folder on desktop.

 

I can now open up any of the files in the folder...manipulate whatever scripts to change what is needed.....

 

 

After the changes, I have that folder ready for packing again...PBO manager does NOT pack at all for me.  I have no option to do so from the program.  On right clicking the folder, I see an option Pack PBO but when clicked it errors out saying Application not found - so PBO does not work properly at all...even after a second install of the program...

 

So I have another packing program....BinPBO and I pack the folder with this program from ArmaII....it then gives me the PBO file and a TXT file.  I look at the TXT file and see it contains a crapload of errors and the PBO file appears to be complete.  

 

I upload the PBO file to my server and place it where the original file was (having renamed my original 11 map to 11a to be sure I still have it).

 

Once done I restart my server and try to log in but I never can get logged into the game as it will sit on Waiting for Host forever.

 

 

I want to know what is up with PBO manager that I cannot pack with it as well?  Is BinBPO not working properly either?  I can put the errors/omissions from the error report of the TXT file here as well to show folks what comes up missing, but I am clueless on what is happening and how to fix it.

CBPO does absolutely nothing for me....well other than turn the Icons into something different looking....Use Window Explorer....yeah right...the DOS command prompt area does not work...have not been able to do anything with that program at all....

 

BinPBO does not work properly - or if it does...all my packed PBOs always have the same error with content 

PBO Manager v1.4 Beta does not work other than opening PBOs

 

I just want to be able to download my file (Chernarus Epoch 11 map) - extract the file and edit content - Pack it up and upload it back to my HFB server and get it to run.  I am not asking much....but so far nothing has worked and its annoying the hell out of me...cannot do any changes to my server that is not already in HFB control panel or that they have added into their Ultimate package.

Well tried your program there...was getting quite excited when I saw it packed/unpacked/extracted etc....but the end result so far is the same....

 

I uploaded the "edited" file and my game will not let me log in.....its further along than any of the other ones though....I get as far as the Dayz Epoch loading screen with the load bar empty....whereas before I would only get to the Waiting for Host message.

 

I just wish I knew what the fak is causing the inability to get scripts edited/added and get them to work with HFB.
