Project Directory: Migration – Arma 3

Introduction

This only apply if you were using the install directory of Arma 3 Tools as source for P drive. Otherwise, there is no need to perform these operations.

Since the 0.984, unlike the previous behavior (using the install directory of the tools), if no custom directory is defined, a default one will be used in the document folder of the current user (...\Documents\Arma 3 Projects). This is done in order to avoid any potential conflict with the updates of the tools.

This step is simple but must be executed carefully. It is recommended to copy the project directory and past them to the new project directory. From here, test that everything is working, if not, go back onto the preparation phase, you may have missed something. Once you are absolutely sure that everything is in the same state as it was, you may proceed to the deletion of the original directories from the install directory of the tools.
