Updating 2-5-0 and older: Updating missions prior to 2-6-0 is more involved due to them using the old ORBAT and a different assignGear method. I'd recommend using a fresh copy of F2 and merging any custom changes the mission did in by hand instead of trying a patchwork solution.

Game crashes after updating a mission: Most likely caused by issues within the description.ext. Scan for any open { or redundant } and try replacing it with a description.ext from a fresh F2 download.

Seems like you're missing harakka's Join Group Action in your tuto!

The mission maker may have modified various bits of F2 to suit his purposes, one way to catch those modifications is, before updating anything, to compare the mission files with the files from clean F2 2-6 with WinMerge. You can download the clean files for F2 2-6-1 from here for example, sans Norrin's revive. Just click on the zip button.

You were right, thanks. Fixed.

Oops! Looks like your replacement code bloc for the backpacks selector in description.ext was missing the lines:

Code: Select all

class Params
{

This caused ArmA 2 to CTD when you attempted to create a local server! Fixed the OP.

Posted: **Fri Jan 04, 2013 10:38 am**

You're right. there was a cosmetical change in F2 that tripped me up. Updated OP to reflect that change and also added a "game crashes after updating" section.

Well at least now I know it wasn't my mistyping that caused the errors. Thanks for the fix!

Edit1:
In your fix for

Code: Select all

class Params
{

You chopped off the of the backpack script instead of changing it to the 2-7-0 script.

Edit2:
Also f_assignGear_*** or assignGear_*** should be folk_assignGear_*** and f_setGroupID.sqf should be folk_setGroupID.sqf

Edit3:
It's also missing the new f\common\f_briefing_cdf, gue, ins, ru, and usmc. Those cause a CTD if missing due to the #includes
