How to edit a workshop scenario in the eden editor.
By Kaidce
Step 1. Download the PBO Manager [www.armaholic.com](Says it is for Arma 2, but works for all games in the Arma series).
Step 2. You now have to make a new folder in your "missions" document "C:\Users\(yourname)\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\(yourname)\missions" name it "(nameofscenario).(nameofmap) example: Fob.clafghan.
Step 3. Find the scenario in your "C:\Users\(yourname)\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\(yourname)\Saved\steam (This can be different but it should be around the same place, Look around and find the file).
Step 4. Open your PBO manager. Then press "Open file" button and then go find the scenario and press "Open".
Step 5. In your PBO manager you will now have a file called "mission.sqm". now press the + button (this will expand it). After that you will highlight all files and you will copy paste them into the folder you made at "step 2".
Step 6. Launch your game and go into the eden editor. Click open file in the left top corner and it will be found under "Missions".


You have to rename the mission folder to .map after the name.
Example: If you have a mission called 'supermission.pbo' you have to extract it to a map in your C:\Users\(yourname)\Documents\Arma 3\mpmissions, and then add (for example) .altis or .chernarus to the end of it.
Therefor the name for the folder when playing on Altis would be supermissions.altis
If you do not do this, the editor doesn't know which map you want to open, and it won't show up in the lis

This isn't mentioned here, but you have to rename the mission folder to .map after the name.

Example: If you have a mission called 'supermission.pbo' you have to extract it to a map in your C:\Users\(yourname)\Documents\Arma 3\mpmissions, and then add (for example) .altis or .chernarus to the end of it.

If you do not do this, the editor doesn't know which map you want to open, and it won't show up in the list.
