ArmA 3 Tools / Samples Question

Recommended Posts

Very quick question: WRT the ArmA 3 Tools / Samples betas I understand that the 'NONE' option will pull down the current Stable builds of these and that the 'development' build will pull down the current Dev build, but what does the 'licensed_data_packages' refer to?

 

Or more precisely, as I do in fact understand the 'what' of these packages, but how do these relate to the Stable / Dev builds?

 

If I want to remain on Dev branch and have access to these files do I need to take additional steps? Thanks in advance.

It's this stuff:

They're going to be removed from Steam eventually though:

torrent and direct downloads hosted by BIS will stay availabe.

As a complement of information, this removal will happen with the next update of the main branch.

Thank you for the 'Heads-Up' on that.

 

Is it enough to copy the LicensedDataPackages folder to a safe place? I'm assuming that these files aren't going to be seeing any major changes going forward.

If you've moved it outside from Arma 3 Tools, then yes. Regarding the updates, they indeed won't receive any update.
