How to port DCW Redux to other terrains
You need PBO Manager to do this!

1. Subscribe any of the DCW Redux mission you want.

2. Launch Arma 3, and launch the mission you subscribed. Exit when the loading is finished

3. Return to desktop. Go to
"(Your name of the pc) -> Documents -> ARMA3 -> Saved -> steam". You will find the folder "[SP]%Dynamic%20Civil%20War%20(Terrain name)%20(Side name).(terrain name)"

4. Inside that folder, there is a pbo file (Ignore the 'Arma3save' file). Change the terrain name after the dot to the terrain name you want to port.
(ex. [SP]%Dynamic%20Civil%20War%20Altis%20BLUFOR.altis
to
[SP]%Dynamic%20Civil%20War%20Kujari%20BLUFOR.tem_kujari)

You will find the list of terrain names here.

5. Move that pbo file to
"(Your name of the pc) -> Documents -> ARMA3 -> missions".

6. Extract the pbo file to the folder with the same name of pbo file. So it should look like this:
"(Your name of the pc) -> Documents -> ARMA3 -> missions -> (pbo file name folder) -> (extracted contents of pbo file)"

7. Go to the Arma 3 again, open the editor. Load the mission you just unpacked (click 'Scenario' on the top left and click 'Open')

8. When the loading is done, you will find the units are in a odd place, far from the map itself, likely located in the middle of the air or below the ground.
Select all five of the units and Zeus module and cut and paste to the place you want. (Be sure not to copy & paste!)

9. If they are not on the ground, right click the units, select 'transform', and click 'Snap to the surface'

9 1/2. If you want to add more compounds on a map, add building objects(must be 'enterable' via a door or ladder) on a desired position. The script will generate a compound in that position. The number of villagers will be depending on how many buildings are clustered in that position. If you want your custom place 'secured' by the allied army at the start, place military buildings.
NOTE: Deleting a existing compound is not possible.

10. Save it

11. Go back to:
"(Your name of the pc) -> Documents -> ARMA3 -> missions"
Delete the original pbo file. Then select the folder and pack it to pbo file (Right click -> PBO Manager -> Pack into "(name of the folder).pbo"

12. When the pbo file is created, move it to the 'Missions' folder in the folder where ARMA3 is installed. It is usually located in:
"Local Disk (C:) -> Program FIles (x86) -> Steam -> steamapps -> common -> ARMA 3 -> Missions"

13. Now you are done! You can find & play the scenario you just edited among the scenarios in the game.


Have fun!
