Startup Parameters – Arma Reforger

ⓘ

Startup parameters' names are case-insensitive - e.g -logstats and -LogSTATS are identical.

General

addons

-addons takes a list of mod IDs (specified in their gproj files, without brackets) to be loaded on game start, separated by a comma ,.
Mods are searched in profile/addons, in <executableDir>/addons and in directories specified by -addonsDir (see below).

ⓘ

Mod IDs can be:

• GUIDs (preferred - found in .gproj)
• Project ID (found in .gproj)
• Sub-directory name (fallback solution)

Example

ArmaReforger.exe -addons 88037E46AD234C72,88037E46AD234C73

addonsDir

-addonsDir specifies additional directories in which the game must look for mods to load, separated by a comma ,.

ⓘ

By default, the game looks into:

• Documents/My Games/ArmaReforger/profile/addons
• <executableDir>/addons

⚠

It is recommended to use absolute paths to Mod directories even though the provided path can be relative to the executable location.

Example

ArmaReforger.exe -addonsDir D:\DownloadedMods,Addons

addonDownloadDir

-addonDownloadDir specifies where the game and the Workshop should download addons.

⚠

It is recommended to use absolute paths to Mod directories even though the provided path can be relative to the executable location.

Example

ArmaReforger.exe -addonDownloadDir D:\DownloadedMods

noSplash

-noSplash skips splash screens on game load.

Example

ArmaReforger.exe -noSplash

Workbench

packAddon

Main parameter used for addon packing.

Uses XPacker to pack all data of current addon into an output directory.

When no directory is specified (by using packAddonDir), a directory from last session is used.

When you're packing the addon for the first time, a new folder is automatically created in the same dir as profile folder.

Example

-No content provided-

packAddonDir

Optional parameter by which you can specify the output directory where resulting PAKs will be saved.

Example

-No content provided-

publishAddon

-publishAddon is main parameter used for addon publishing.

It should be used only for publishing addon updates, and not for the initial publish because data from last session are used to fill in the blanks.

It can be used on its own, in combination with packAddon or in combination with parameters starting with "publishAddon".

When no directory is specified (by using publishAddonDir) a directory from last session is used.

Example

-No content provided-

publishAddonDir

Optional parameter by which you can specify the folder containing pre-packed data (obtained by packAddon param). When not specified, folder from last session is used
