arma3-missions

Singleplayer and multiplayer compatible missions for Arma 3.

Development

Open a PowerShell window and navigate to the missions folder in your Arma 3 profile folder. I'm using mine as an example in the directions below.

> Set-Location -Path ([environment]::getFolderPath("MyDocuments"))
> cd '.\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\CtrlC-Root\missions'

Clone the repository directly into the missions folder.

> git init
> git remote add origin https://github.com/CtrlC-Root/arma3-missions
> git pull origin master

Run the Setup.ps1 script to setup symbolic links to shared mission scripts.

> Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
> .\Setup.ps1

Now you should be able to open and run the missions from the built-in editor. If you want to play them in regular Singleplayer or Multiplayer modes you need to load the mission in the editor and then export it. In the 3D editor you can click "File" then "Export" from the main menu at the top. This compiles and packages the mission into a .pbo file in the appropriate directory for the mission type. Now you should be able to start a Singleplayer or Multiplayer game with the mission.

Releases

You can download pre-packaged versions of the missions from the GitHub releases page. You can install these locally without having to export them through the editor.

• To install the singleplayer missions copy the contents of the Missions folder to %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Missions.
• To install the multiplayer missions copy the contents of the MPMissions folder to %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\MPMissions.

Missions

All missions are named using the CtrlC-[Type]-[Name].[Map] pattern. The name usually refers to a distinct location on the map.
