To anyone having trouble getting this to work, be sure you create and save a mission to mp FIRST then place the ext file, and make sure its saved as ext not just a notepad file.

To get the mission to go into MPmissions, you have save the mission to there, by when saving the mission in editor, selecting multiplayer missions instead of singleplayer or user missions

For all the people asking where the description.ext file goes. It says it on top of the Windows Explorer screen IN THE VIDEO. But if you can't be bothered to figure it out. My Documents/ArmA 2 Other Profiles/Your profile name/MP Missions/YOURMISSIONFOLDER

now that I look back on the video, you might want to try putting a space, between the "=" sign. For example..... respawn = "BASE" ^^^ There is a space between "respawn" and the "=" and the "=" and "BASE"

@Wandalen2 no no. You have to name it "description.ext" If you only name it as description then notepad will automatically save it as a .txt file not an .ext.

I also had some trouble getting it set up, make sure your description.ext is saved as all files rather than text document.and make sure your file reads like this: respawn= "BASE"; respawndelay= 2; respawndialog= false; if you do these steps along with the marker that has respawn_west or whatever you need it will work.

Well make sure you're in the missions folder as shown in the video. Not the missions folder found in the main ArmA 2 directory. Secondly, if you want to extract the contents of a PBO file you can use a tool called "cpbo v2.12" by kegety

Are you sure you're using notepad? You MUST use notepad. When saving the file make sure the 'save as type' is "All files" and save it as it's supposed to be save. When saving it to mpmissions you have to name it exactly the same otherwise it won't work.

Hey! I have a question. I followed your tutorial and looked at some homepage that says exacly the same thing but my rewpawn doesnt work. All I did was create a unit in game (BLUEFOR) added a marker named respawn_west (even tried with east). Then I made the description.ext and put it my missions folder (...Documents\ArmA 2 Other Profiles\D%2e%20Andersson\missions\Skitbana.Chernarus) This just has to happen, a simple script with two lines of code and it will not work...
