Dunno, very rough idea so far Idea is to cover some very basic do's and don'ts

Yeah I really don't know what my idea is. Hence very sandbox.


'Modpack'

Related Terms

Term Meaning Aliases
Mod A Mod is a package of PBOs which can be loaded into the game, may change anything in game that Engine can handle. Addon
Mod List Mod List is a preset to load a set of Mods in once via Arma 3 Launcher. Usually distributed in HTML file. Preset
PBO PBO is a file type that can be recognized/loaded into the game, and used by almost all Real Virtuality games, including Arma 3.
Modpack A Modpack is a Mod that has multiple Mods contents into one. The main subject of this section.

Pros and Cons of a Modpack

Pros Cons
  • May reduce amount of Mods.
  • If the packing is done without a permission, it is very easy violation of some licenses and Steam Workshop EULA.
  • May cause an outdated issue unless you update the Modpack which you never need to if you load the actual Mods in the first place.
  • May cause an unintentional Mod overwrite/conflict. (e.g. if the Modpack contains ACE yet you load actual ACE, will make a conflict and could result an unexpected issue.)

Conclusion

Don't do it.


Scripting
