For a smaller storage space, add all the other volumes under /arma3/ directory.
To use a Creator DLC the STEAM_BRANCH must be set to creatordlc and
then set ARMA_CDLC environment variable to the CDLC class name(s) found in wiki
separated by ;.
Example: -e ARMA_CDLC=csla;gm;vn;ws
The script will check for any workshop mod updates on startup and only download what is out of date.
Place the mod list html exported by the launcher anywhere in the /arma3/ directory and add the path to
WORKSHOP_MODS environment variable to load.
The script will also to lowercase the workshop mod file paths as arma3 paths need to be case sensitive.
Launch n number of headless clients when HEADLESS_CLIENTS environment variable is set.
Profiles loaded for each headless client will be set to ${ARMA_PROFILE}-hc-${n}.
For headless clients to connect, you must also have the following in your config cfg file:
headlessclients[] = {"127.0.0.1"};
localclient[] = {"127.0.0.1"};
