Thread: How do I send out my missions I make?

  1. #1

    How do I send out my missions I make?

    If I want to send out missions for other people on the community to use, how do I do that? Like create a PBO file that people can download? And how can I make that available on the internet?

    And can I put them up on this forum?(you never know what's illegal here)

    Export the mission to .pbo, eventually pack the pbo file then together with a short readme into a .zip archive and upload it to one of the countless file hosters on the internet.

    Once you have the link from your favorite file hoster, you create a new thread for your mission in the User Missions forum where you write a short description and add the download link.

    You can "Export Mission to Singleplayer" and then copy it out of the mission folder in the ArmA directory. Use a file hosting site to upload missions and post in the ARMA 2 & OA - USER MISSIONS forum. Armaholic may find your post and upload your mission to their website for everyone to download.

    Nothing is "illegal" here (Except obvious things). But there are forum rules which you, I, and everyone else is expected to read, respect, and accept. This is a privately owned forum and Bohemia Interactive can do with it as they see fit.

    Thanks all responses, so this "export" option is in the editor?

  6. #6
    Yes, located at the save button. There you find:

    User mission - saves the mission as source file in your user missions folder
    Export to single missions - saves the mission as .pbo in "Missions"
    Export to multiplayer missions - saves the mission as .pbo in "MPMissions"
    Send by email - Actually no idea what it does, never used in the past 11 years

    While your in the mission editor take a look at the right sidebar.

    Step 1: Save



    Step 2: Choose Location for Save



    Step 3: Name Your Mission and Save (Click OK)

    I successfully exported it to singleplayer, and it does show up in scenarios, but it is not in the file that contains the other missions...does anyone know where it saves thr exported .pbo?

    The exported pbo for sp should showup in the Arma2 directory in the missions folder.
