Cold War Crisis: the very first in the series (disregarding the 'proof of concept' release a year earlier) has no pboProperties header and no checksums. Addon pbos contain a config.cpp/bin which at-the-least identifies the addon name, and, with the exception of the initial cwc engine, rely on a pbo properties header. They have no use for a pboPrefix, nor a Properties header. Mission pbos do not contain config.cpps and live in a mission folder (be it campaign, single, or multiplayer). pbo files - see Elite PBOs.Īcross all engines there are two distinct types of pbo. Operation Flashpoint: Elite cannot work with compressed. The actual use of compression is becoming less 'popular' as it does represent a small load on the engine. The intent behind compression was for internet use and, in the 'good old days', simply to reduce hard disk storage requirements. Ones that won't benefit normally are not and some files in the Arma engines cannot be because bis forgot they had this code. Which type of files are compressed is entirely optional. In addition to simply packaging all files and folders in a tree into a single file, some, all, or none of the files within can be compressed using Apple's method of LZSS compression. the encryption method used for vbslite UK and vbslite US is different. xbo: Used by vbsLite encrypt with a different algorithm to above. ebo: Used by vbs initially, and bis later, to encrypt the contents of a pbo and call it a different extension. #ARMA 3 SYNC NOT SHOWING MY AVAILABLE ADDONS MOD#
ifa: A World War2 mod hard wired to only accept ifa files.In all cases, the contents ultimately are identical to pbos.
Generically called 'pbo' there are in fact different extension names employed, dependent on the engine being used. The engine will internally expand any *.pbo back out to its original, tree-folder, form. It is a container for folder(s) and file(s). pbo is identical in purpose to a zip or rar.
