In this video i will show you two methods on how to unbinarize a mission.sqm.

Question
========
Why would i want to unbinarize a mission.sqm if i binarized
the mission that requires mods?

Answer
======
If a mission has a mod dependency and is binarized and one of or all of the
mods used in the scenario is missing, corrupt or whatever issue (not wanted).

Then you have an issue where if you dont want to lose the mission, the only real
option is to remove that mod dependency, to do that you cant force load the mission because
the mission wont load anyways, you cant open the mission.sqm to remove the
addons listed, so the only viable option is to disable binarization in order to remove
the mod dependency.

The following are two methods as shown in the video you can
use to unbinarize your mission.sqm.

Method 1 - Merge
==============
First method is to create a new scenario on the map that your mission that
is binarized is on, then go to the scenario tab and go down to merge.
Choose the mission that is binarized to open it in the new mission, after merging the mission
go back to the scenario tab then save as (choosing the mission thats binarized)
make sure the binarized scenario box is unchecked.
Click save, it will ask you do you want to overwrite the scenario, and say yes, after
go to the scenario tab and open the scenario folder, then open the mission.sqm and it
should be unbinarized.

Method 2 - CfgConvert
===================
Install Arma 3 Tools, you can do that by going to your steam library, and then to the top left
where it shows your list of games and tools for those games, choose Arma 3 Tools from the list
from the tools section.
Once installed you dont need to launch it, just need them installed.

Now go to this folder location:
C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Tools\CfgConvert
Next grab your mission.sqm and drag it over the MissionDerap.bat and let go,
give it a few seconds and a mission.sqm backup will be created in your mission folder
along with your mission.sqm being updated with the latest time.
Open the mission.sqm and it should be now unbinarized.
