Properly Recompiling PBOs

[LancerSolurus]

I am trying to recompile the dayz_server.pbo and day_code.pbo and it isn't working. The server simply crashes saying it can't find the...(this is from dayz_code.pbo)

I ran across a post about setting the path properly yesterday but I can't seem to find it today in this sub-forum even using the search feature. So if anyone who has recompiled these files properly with BinPBO could lend a helping hand I would appreciate it a lot! With our own custom mods I don't have any problems like this.

I use PBO Manager (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=16369) and never had a problem.

For the dayz_server.pbo to make sure it compiled properly, after you installed PBO manager double click the pbo to open it with it.

Then click the 'Gear' icon, and you should see the z/prefix entry there (kinda like regedit in windows, a value and a string)

IF you dont see the /z/prefix there then 100% your dayz_server.pbo is not properly compiled...probably cause you are missing a file.

When I decompiled it I do get the prefix file. I saw something in one of the threads here about setting the prefix in the options to make it work properly. I believe it was Sarge who posted it....

+1 PBO Manager. Never had a problem with it either. Never even have to check if the prefix is correct. Right click. Pack. Upload. Done.

download the epoch server files and open dayz_server.pbo with PBO manager...press the Gear icon and take a note at the values there.

Do the same for your pbo....if they are not the same, try adding them yourself.

But to tell you the truth if your prefix file is busted....then maybe some file there besides that is busted as well.

Test test test :)

Thx I will try it out. If it works then then the first thing added with be craftable glass and next the mozzie...

[umfufu]

make a txt file and call it $PBOPREFIX$

and with this line in it  z\addons\dayz_code

put it in the root of dayz_code

 

Same for dayz_server only then z\addons\dayz_server 

as line

This might sound silly but delete the old pbo before making a new one with the same name.

I was getting this last night, and  I think it was because I was using the wrong option in the context menu. the "create PBO" didn't work but there was another option further down, specific to PBO manager that would/did work.  I can check when I get home.
