Are there any PBO tools for Linux?

Recommended Posts

Im working on modding for Arma 3 and need the PBO tools like Eliteness and mikeros tools for Linux. Is there anything like this?

 

I basically need everything in Mikeros tools unrap, depbo, etc.

there are none, since all other bi tools require windows, and so does the game

However that might change in the future.

doubt that it will change for the tools tbh. 

from this page - http://dev.arma3.com/ports

Limited User-Generated Content compatibility - custom scenarios and mods technically can work in the ports, but it is likely their authors will pursue compatibility with the primary Windows version instead.

There's a DePbo for linux:

I have a small CentOS based dedicated server which I run Arma3 on to play my own missons with friends.

So far I have continuous integration setup to help me deploy any missions changes, it's a method I'm sure most people on this forum will be familiar with.

It would be really nice to have a linux based tool to compile the pbo so I only had to commit the scipt changes to git.

Currently I compile the pbo on my windows PC and commit that to git as well as the scripts.

I believe this thing could help you: https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-armapbo. I made it some time ago for exact same purpose. It is a simple PBO packer without such features as compressing and binarization, but it works on linux/windows.

 

PS: This guy works on top of NodeJS and GulpJS, so you'll need to have them installed.
