Requirements

• Arma 3 Tools through Steam
• Visual Studio Code
• Arma-Dev extension for Visual Studio Code

Installation

Before you start, please download and install the software mentioned in the Requirements section.

• Download and extract a3-admintoolkit
• Open the folder a3-admintoolkit-master with Visual Studio code (vscode)
• Add your player UID into the source\admintoolkit_servercfg\config.cpp, see Configuration
• Press F1 in vscode and run the command Arma 3: Pack to build all pbo files
• Use .\setup.ps1 -PatchMission to patch your favorite mission file, see Mission File
• Copy all pbo files to the client and server, see Copy Files

Configuration

The AdminToolkit uses a server configuration file (config.cpp) to add administrators and moderators.
So, open the file source\admintoolkit_servercfg\config.cpp and add your player uid into AdminList[]

Example:

AdminList[] = {"yourPlayerUID"};

Optionally you can add the ServerCommandPassword (stored in the config.cfg of your server) to manage kick and bans from the AdminToolkit

ServerCommandPassword = "yoursecretpassword";

As the AdminToolkit has a moderator mode, those player uids go to

ModeratorList[] = {"playerUID"};

Moderators can have restricted access - Please help yourself and read the config.cpp carefully to customize the permissions

Mission File

This project is shipped with a mission file patcher. Use the command below to patch you favorite mission file.

PS> .\setup.ps1 -PatchMission

A dialog prompt will appear and let you choice your Mission.File.pbo. Output is stored in the folder @MissionFile\<Your.Mission.pbo>
