Arma3 to P:\ from mikero


WARNING: Arma3P will overwrite (some) arma2 folders. Ensure, this is a separate p drive


Installation

a no nonsense auto installer saving you sweat and tears.

Caveats:

  • YOU MUST HAVE a P:\ drive
    • It is your responsibility to create one and be aware that it is incompatible with an existing a2 p drive.
  • YOU MUST have COPIES OF
    • ExtractPbo.exe auto installer
    • Derap.exe auto installer
    • depbo dll auto installer
  • These packages can be found at dev-heaven

None of this is earth shattering stuff. The only use of this batch file is because you're already using the above tools anyway.

PAY ATTENTION to the final dos screen message. You either have

No Error(s) Success

or

something went bang

Ignoring this simple fact is entirely your choice.


Usage

Simply click on the cmd file and go make coffee, feed the cat, or hell, talk to your wife.

Be aware that extracting some pbo's such as dubbing can take several minutes.

Implementation


  • ALL* relevant rapified files (configs,missions,rvmats, bisurfs,bins) are

converted back to humanly readable text.

  • Your P drive is setup with all necessary dll's and buldozer in order to run

oxygen3.


This batch file currently extracts to the following folders


  • P:\A3
  • P:/dta -> P:\
  • Arma3P removes P:\A3, bin, core, and language_xx before extractions begin.
  • No other folders are AFFECTED

Subsequent upgrades to Arma3 will probably alter this list. It is outside the control of this batch file (but it will be updated as appropriate).


WRP_PROJECTS


unlike arma2p, this folder is no longer produced as copying 'ca configs' is not necessary if usingpboProject
