Tools Development Branch Changelog

Recommended Posts

In this thread we'll try to describe updates happening in the Development Branch of Arma 3 Tools.

This changelog is not complete, nor confirmed to be working as advertised. Again, Development branch does not pass internal QA before publication. Stick with main branch if you do not want to deal with the (big) potential issues and frequent data transfers.

Feel free to discuss the updates to this branch in the relevant thread.

The changes are not going to be done daily like the Arma 3 development branch does, but rather in irregular intervals according to needs and additions by our team.

20-06-2014

  • Fixed: Broken Addon Builder UI
  • Fixed: Copying of files to the target destination in Addon Builder
  • Fixed: "External" feature of Tools Launcher was disabled by error
