Prerequisites


Project Creation

  • Start the Workbench either through Steam (Tools > Arma Reforger Tools > START) or by double-clicking ArmaReforgerWorkbench.exe located in the Workbench installation directory.
    The following screen will appear:

    This interface displays existing projects known to Workbench and will later display the current creation; an existing project is openable by selecting it and clicking Open to edit it.
  • Click "Create New" to open the project creation interface
Vanilla Arma Reforger
Modded Arma Reforger
  • Enter the project's name
    • the project's name can only contain letters, numbers, spaces and the following symbols: - (dash) _ (underscore) and . (dot).
  • Confirm or edit the project's location Be sure to pick a location where the current Windows user has write permissions (e.g C:\Users\Username\Documents - not C:\Program Files)
  • Pick the project's dependencies:
    • dependencies are other projects (and/or mods) on which the current project relies to work
    • a project cannot be loaded if a dependency is missing
    • the dependency link is one-way: a dependency does not need the current project in order to be loaded
    • Arma Reforger is a default dependency: an Arma Reforger mod needs Arma Reforger data to run properly
  • Click "OK" to create the project.

Et voilà ! The project is created and the Workbench is waiting for input.
