Re: Hove to name a mission - Overlord - 12-10-2009

Here is the Official OFP Naming Convention which will make a mission name look like this:

[b]co18_linoleum.noe.pbo
co for mission type (co is short for coop)
18 = max players
linoleum = mission name
noe = island (in this case Nogova)

**Remark**
On a Linux server it's [i]imperative that only small caps is used in whole mission name and s p a c e s are filled with underscore.
As for the @ identifying missions using 3rd-party addons it's no need for it when making missions for e.g our WGL server since WGL itself is stuffed with addons and we run a required addon-pack.

[i]ArmA2
Utes: co12_dirty_bomb.utes.pbo
Chernarus: co12_dourdan_rescue_1_6.chernarus.pbo

As I read this name it's a coop for 16 players, named Op Scout (operation?) n2 version 2? in nedezhdino? Island need to be replaced with the actually island (if you don't have made your own custom island named island Smile) .pbo (OFP/AA file format) is added automatic.

The correct name (as I see it) would be co16_op_scout_to_nedezhdino_2.chernarus.pbo
.pbo will probably be added automatically when you export mission to multiplayer
