This guide describes briefly the process to create a LITE version of a pbo.

Notes:

  • LITE refers to reduced quality usually.


Benefit

  1. Smaller pbo size.
  2. Faster game loading time.
  3. Reduced GPU requirements.

The main use is for dedicated servers.

This cannot be used in multiplayer as a player unless the signature checking system is disabled, or the LITE version has been signed and the key is added to the server.


Scope

  1. This is not an absolute beginners guide.
  2. This is not about creating textures.
  3. This is not about explaining tools setup.
  4. This guide only handles textures. There is also sounds, scripts, mission files.


Process

Brief summary:

  1. Install Arma 3 Tools
  2. Install mikero's tools
  3. Create a text file named CreateLITE.bat
  4. Open with a text editor
  5. Copy & paste the code below in it and save
  6. Adjust the paths at the top and save
  7. Optional: Adjust the desired texture resolution at the top and save
  8. Execute the batch file

In case of error, check the created log file.
