ArmA 1 Maps not showing up in ArmA 2

[OChristie]

I have a slight problem, I am loading my custom maps into ArmA 2 and they are not showing up in the Editor Map Selection Window. What do I need to do?

Can you walk us through step by step what have you done so far?

After that its easier to point out what you need to change.

I have placed my PBO in a Mod folder added it to the command line, thePBO is in the 'addons' section of the mod folder, it now shows up in the editor but crashes on load.

1/What is the line in your cfgpatches.cpp?

2/Try with the plant, buildings, rocks, roads, misc.pbo (from arma1) in your mod folder in arma2

you have to rename the pbo`s
buildings.pbo to CAbuildings.pbo
desert.pbo to CAdesert.pbo
misc.pbo to CAmisc.pbo
+plants ,roads,rocks,sara,saralite,signs
not completely perfect but it works

don`t know bout the other islands, hope this helped
