  2. Open Arma, open the editor and choose a map you wish to build your mission on.
  3. Save your mission - Either press CTRL+S to use keyboard shortcut to save, or go to the top left corner, Scenario>Save As.
    Give your mission a name (Because you are just starting your mission and might not be 100% sure on player count or a final mission name, you can just give you're mission a temporary name or the full final thing, it's your choice, you can always edit it later.
  • Mission names must follow a naming format.
    Your mission must start with either:
    CO - If it's a cooperative mission (Player vs AI)
    COTVT - If it's a cooperative player vs player mission (Players and/or AI vs players and/or AI)
    TVT - If it's a solely a player vs player mission (Players vs players)
    LOL - If a meme mission - These mission are a sub-category of mission made with being a funny joking mission.

Between words, instead of using blank spaces use underscore _
