Edit Side Chat/Global/All chat channels w/ custom mods

[Chad 0]

1. 
   IMPORTANT WARNING: This method is required if your server is using ANY custom mods including the modding service that we offer.. The reason is because TC Admin USES A NEW, EMPTY Mission file after enabling side chat and installing the map. If you are not using any custom mods, you can simply enable side chat in the server.cfg and reinstall Chernarus or whatever map you are using. If you are a FULLY MANAGED customer we can do this for you through a support ticket request. If not fully managed and you are completely lost, please submit a support ticket and we will invoice you a $5.00 USD fee so that we will complete the steps below for you.
    
   
2. Download PBO View from this website: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=1434 Scroll down to where it says "Download from FTP #1: " And click Pbo View directly underneath.
   
3. Unzip the entire folder somewhere on your C drive. If you run into issues, I put everything in a folder on my desktop. (You will need a program like 7Zip to unzip any download. Google this or submit a ticket for help.)
   
4. Log into TC Admin. Click the "File Manager" button. Open the "MP Missions" folder. Inside are all of your server's mission files.
   
5. Click the Globe (Download) button to the right. Save it to your desktop.
   
6. Open PBO View from step one. Press the unpack button to the right and choose the mission file located on your desktop.
   
7. This will create a new folder on your desktop with the unpacked mission files.
   
8. Open the new folder on your desktop, and then open the description.ext file using notepad or notepad++ (you can download notepad++ free from google, it is a better version than the standard notepad)
   
9. Once you have opened description.ext find the line that says disableChannels[]={0,2,6};
   
10. Here is an example that has Global, Side, Command, and System Chat disabled:
     
    disableChannels[]={0,1,2,6}; (<< 
    Key:
    0 = Global
    1 = Side
    2 = Command
    3 = Group
    4 = Vehicle
    5 = Direct
    6 = System
     
    
11. Once you have SAVED the changes, Press the Pack button on PBO view and navigate to the folder you modified to pack the new mission. This will dump the new mission file on your desktop. Delete the old mission file that ends with .bak
    
12. In the File manager of TC Admin, Rename your old mission file to something like "OLDdayz_1500.chernarus" or delete it if you do not need it.
    
13. Then press the upload button to upload the new mission from your desktop to the server and you are done!
