Step 3: Install Voisus-VBS2 plugin
is com-
plete with the Voisus comms activated for the mission(s) and VBS2 installation before following
the steps below.
1. Open VBS2 Admin and open the Mission Editor on the left side of the screen.
2. Select the terrain on which the mission is based and open the editor. You must export the
mission to networked scenarios and ensure the resulting .pbo file (now with active Voisus
comms) is in the proper place.
3. Once the terrain is loaded, choose File > Load and select the mission. Once loaded, you
should see the mission units overlaid on the terrain.
4. Choose File > Save. In the dialog box, enter a mission name, title and description (or leave
them as they were). In the Export option, select “Export to Network Scenarios”. Once cho-
sen, click “Ok.” By default, Export to Network Scenarios will create a packaged mission
.pbo file in the following directory:
C:\Bohemia Interactive\VBS2\mpmissions
5. Close VBS2.
6. By default, a dedicated server will make all .pbo files located in this file available to cli-
ents.
C:\Bohemia Interactive\VBS2\mpmissions
However, VBS2 administrators are able to limit which missions are available to play.
Check with your VBS2 administrator to ensure that the new .pbo mission file you created
in step 4 is in the proper directory and that the dedicated server is configured to allow your
mission to be available to clients.
7. Launch the VBS2 dedicated server and use one or more clients to connect to the mission
you just created.
