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.
