TODO Add warning about disabling arma tools auto mount first


Required Software

I'm going to be using only free programs for this guide. I won't cover how to install them, as it's basically just a matter of pressing 'Next' a few times in the installer. Programs like Arma Tools I will cover!


Text editor: Notepad++

Image editor: GIMP

Terrain Editor: L3DT Pro Now freeware, but you do have to login to the trial page still.

TODO Mirror link


Arma 3 Tools

On steam search for and install Arma 3 Tools, after it downloads run it. Agree to the license if it pops up, click Addon Builder so all the windows registry is setup. Close Addon Builder and Arma 3 Tools.

The Tools launcher has a habit of breaking Terrain Builder / Buldozer, so we need to make shortcuts to the programs we want.

Right click Arma 3 Tools in Steam > Manage > Browse local files

Go into the TerrainBuilder folder. Find and right click TerrainBuilder.exe > Send to > Desktop

Go back to the Arma 3 Tools folder, but this time go into the TerrainProcessor folder. Find and right click TerrainProcessor.exe > Send to > Desktop

You should now have 2 icons on your desktop. Use these when working on your map, don't load Terrain Builder via Arma 3 Tools launcher!

After an Arma 3 Tools update, you should load the tools at least once. Simply repeat the steps you did at the start, Load the tools via Steam > Agree to the license if it pops up > click Addon Builder so all the windows registry is setup. Close Addon Builder and Arma 3 Tools. Then continue working on your map via the shortcuts you made

P Drive

In the Sample files find "P drive.bat"
