In your server.cfg you'll want to edit this section..

Code: Select all

// MISSIONS CYCLE (see below)
class Missions
{
          class Mission1
         {
              template="co_xx_mymission.stratis";
              difficulty="Regular";
          };
};
Where it says "co_xx_mymission.stratis" replace that with the name of the mission you placed in your MPmissions folder.

Where would the pbo mission file be located? Does it have to be extracted?

I am not sure what you mean by that. You just take your mission.pbo file and place it in your "Mpmissions" folder in FTP and add it to your server.cfg.

I think he wants you to place the mymission.pbo file in the missions folder, and then edit the .cfg file and template="mymission";

Replace mymission with the name of the mission.

Can you actually join the server, though? If I remember correctly it saying unknown when running a custom mission isn't uncommon.
