Description: Based largely on file format information from BIS wiki, thanks to everyone who contributed on those. cpbo: Extracts and creates PBO files. Run from windows explorer to associate it with directories and PBO files, after which you can extract PBO files by double clicking, and create PBO files by right clicking a directory. Also can be used from console. The PBO path prefix is saved to and read from a special file called $PBOPREFIX$ in the directory. unRap: "Decodes" raP encoded files, such as config.bin and rvmat files. Run the exe from windows explorer and select the file(s) you want to decode, or use from console. unRap overwrites all files it needs without asking, so be careful when working with original game files. PAAplug: Experimental PAA format plugin for Adobe Photoshop. UE_highlight: SQS/SQF syntax highlighting for UltraEdit. Notes: cpbo creates its shell integration using the following registry keys: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pbo\DefaultIcon HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pbo\shell\Extract all HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pbo\shell\Extract PBO... HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\create PBO\ You can remove these keys with regedit to remove the explorer integration. Association fix: With Windows 7 there might be an issue with the association of CPBO which will prevent correct usage of this tool. Tankbuster made a util to fix the associations, you can download it from here. Credits & Thanks: Based largely on file format information from BIS wiki, thanks to everyone who contributed on those.

One program included in this bundle.. "CPBO" .. does not work with Windows Vista. Just a forewarning for anyone downloading this with vista.
Just copy the CPBO folder to your hard drive. I use:
C:\Program Files (X86)\ArmA Tools\CPBO\
Double click the cpbo.exe and click yet to associate the files. And you are done. DO NOT delete the cpbo.exe file. This is required to run the files it isn't just an installer!
Danm thing wont unpbo....
CPBO isn't working for me and I'm using Vista
Not functionnal.
Even the so call "fix association", I'm on Seven 64, and a message says "This program work only on Vista and Seven".
Tsss...
Just magicians, not programmers.
Stop doing thoses utilities that create more problems than that solved.
Just tried it today. It works fine extracting PBO's.
You have to use the command prompt, otherwise it will not work.
My OS Windows 7-64 bit.
Strange.
I was able to extract 2 pbo's and now I always get this error message:
Extracting "name of pbo"
pboEx: Unknown block in the header! aborting
Failed!
Oh well. It was good while it lasted.
I'm sorry but do you think you could re-explain the instruction for the pbo extractor? I'm not an expert at programming and I guess the instruction you're giving are just going completely over my head. Could somebody just explain it in easy step by step process? I'm putting the extractor on my desktop (running windows 7 BTW) and try running it, I get a message asking if I would like to associate cpbo with .pbo files, so I say yes, and the following comes up:
PBO association failed! Verify registry permissions
PBO association failed! verify registry premissions
Directory association failed! Verify registry permissions
done.
The window just closes and nothing different really happens, thats it. Please help, I've been through enough frustrations trying to make this map and I just want to cheat and see how someone else did it!
Run the application as administrator. Go to the cpbo application, right click on it, and select "Run as Administrator."
so I ran the cpbo as an admine andthen set the default program for the pbo as explore.exe and now i have ~1000 explore.exe running...
I'm getting this error when trying to extract a PBO file. http://gyazo.com/7a71bd622eae3aea7ef9a299a9e2bb1d
The .PAA Photoshop plugin only works for 32-bit Photoshop (PS 5.x) it will not load for the 64-bit versions.
