Hi all, Some may remember a thread I created last year announcing a tool I created called the Arma Preset Creator, this thread has since been deleted as I thought to re-announce the latest updates and changes. The application was originally hosted in Azure, which I decided to migrate away from several weeks back, and I took this as an opportunity to recreate the application with Angular as a learning experience, with a backend API. Description This aims to bridge the gap between Steam Workshop Items and the Arma 3 Launcher whereby any Steam Workshop items with dependencies require a preset to be created manually for these to be loaded in-game. The application solves this problem by generating the preset HTML file for you, which can then be imported into the Arma 3 Launcher. To use it you simply have to retrieve the URL or ID of the Steam Workshop item and paste that into the site, then hit "Create" and it should download a HTML file which can be imported. Alternatively you could share a link to embed on your website or in your Teamspeak, Discord or Steam communities. This allows people to instantly download a preset without having to retrieve the URL or ID. Sharing a link will generate the preset every time that it is clicked. This means that the preset will always be up to date with the collection or item. Capabilities Generate Arma 3 Launcher Presets based on the following Steam Workshop items Collections Missions with mod dependencies Mods with dependencies Generate embeddable/shareable links to embed on your website or community channel which allows people to download Presets in a single click. Usage Generating Preset Enter the URL or ID for a Steam Workshop item Click Create Import the downloaded HTML file into your Arma 3 launcher. Sharing Preset Retrieve a Workshop item ID and enter it on the website Click "Share" and then "Copy", or manually copy if you prefer Share the link via Steam chat or embed in any platform that your community uses to communicate/share mod info.

Changelog: [31/05/2022]: UI Overhaul (see comments below) [21/05/2022]: Brought this back online under a new domain name. [14/07/2021]: I am no longer affiliated with this domain name as it has been handed over to a different team who will look after it going forward. Some time back I parted ways with Arma and this became less of a hobby for me. The code remains open source under the MIT GPLv3 (since the recent updates) license on GitHub. [08/12/2020]: Allow users to paste a URL linking directly to a Steam Workshop Item, as well as pasting an ID. Having seen some errors from somebody trying to generate a preset for an item with no mods or dependencies, I have added some more descriptive error messages to say why a preset with no items won't be generated. [30/11/2020]: Switched it back on with a new host, having been asked by several people. [27/11/2020]: Ended support for this and have instead uploaded the server side source code to github. [02/02/2019]: Added HTTPS [12/12/2018]: Added support for workshop items whose dependencies contain dependencies. Gracefully, duplicates will be filtered at request time so only unique items will be pulled back which is results in lighter load on the Steam Web API Added integration tests (non client facing) to ensure quality and consistency with the API response when refactoring any of the underlying code. Tests added for the scenarios where a workshop item has No dependencies Top level dependencies Nested dependencies (The request resource has a dependency who also has dependencies) Nested dependencies with duplicates (The request resource has a dependency who also has dependencies, some of which are duplicated in the parent resource) [11/12/2018]: Added some error handling around workshop items which have no children dependencies, this will be rejected as there is no need for this utility to create a preset for a single mod without dependencies. Mods with dependencies will now generate correct presets, whereas previously the parent mod was not included in the final preset file. API reference has updated with a breaking change removing the ArmaPresetRequest and instead passing the SteamWorkshopItem object back into the Arma Generate Preset operation. I will add semantic versioning in the future to protect developers against breaking changes. [10/12/2018]: Presets can now be generated from missions and other workshop item types which have dependencies Workshop item dependencies which no longer exist on the Steam Workshop will be ignored/excluded from the generated preset, and also will not return from the '/api/steam/workshop/publisheditems/{publishedItemId}' operation As this application has been released, I have obsoleted (rather than removed) the '/api/steam/collections/{collectionId}' operation, developers should now use '/api/steam/workshop/publisheditems/{publishedItemId}'

As the title says, im having a problem, and i have not the faintest idea on what. Im a mission creator for my group. Im experiencing that in missions i've made with player slots that has custom loadout i've made through the virtual arsenal in the eden editor, end up being naked when they spawn into the game. It was not always like this, but suddenly a few weeks back - it started. No idea why. This is really annoying, and somewhat game breaking for my missions at the current time - so if anyone has an idea on whats going on here, please help! Its somewhat urgent timewise - we're playing a mission this saturday, and if I dont have a fix till then i'll have to make some really unconvenient workarounds. This is the modlist we're using (steam collection): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1627983524
