How do I convert a .SQM file to .PBO?
I downloaded a mission from steam workshop.
I unpacked the .pbo file into an .sqm file to edit / add some things

Now I would like to know how do I convert the .sqm into a .pbo? Is there a tool I can use? Also exporting the mission into the MPmissions section does nothing. It is still an .sqm file

I hope that I explain it correctly, but here is no "convert to PBO", the PBO format works like a folder. To pack something into a PBO, you should use "PBO Manager"[www.armaholic.com]. Work's really simple, see[gyazo.com].

The .SQM is contained in the PBO.

.pbo file is like a book and you need PBO Manager to open it to read what's inside of the book.
after you open the file you'll see some .sqm files and a bunch of other files.

For anyone finding this thread years later, here's the solution to your problems:

In 3den Editor:
Click "Scenario" in the top left
Then click "Export"
Then "Export to Single/Multiplayer"

The .pbo can be found in your Arma 3 installation folder in mpmissions/missions
