Before getting started, ensure that the following programs are installed on your PC...
In this example we will be using an Exile Mod mission, however the same method applies for any PBO file.
- Using FileZilla, connect to your server and navigate to the directory containing your PBO file, download this to your PC - take note of the location.
- Right-click on the downloaded PBO, hover over the "PBO Manager" category and then click the bottom option to extract the files into their own folder, in our case it would be "Extract to Exile.Altis", as shown in the below screenshot...
The contents of the PBO can now be found within the created folder, at this point you are free to make any changes required to the raw files. Once you're happy proceed to the next step to repack the folder into a PBO. - Right-click the folder containing your raw PBO files, hover over the "PBO Manager" category and then click the top option - this should say "Pack into <folder>.pbo", so in our example "Pack into Exile.Altis.pbo".
This will overwrite the old PBO with the newly edited files. You can now proceed with uploading the new PBO back onto your server using FileZilla. - Within FileZilla, navigate to the directory containing your edited PBO, right-click it and then click "Upload" making sure to overwrite any existing files in the target directory.
- You should now have successfully uploaded your modified PBO onto the server - those changes will take effect the next time it is started back up.
