Extracting files

To be able to use objects in a terrain, you need to have them unpacked on your workdrive. Luckily for us there are some scripts that do it automatically for us. All these scripts require you to have a workdrive set up and mounted.

Arma3P

Look for Arma3P in Windows Start, an app should come up that you can open, alternatively you can go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Mikero\DePboTools\bin and run Arma3P.cmd from there. When it asks you for a drive enter P, on the next question press N. After this it’s time to get something to drink and maybe walk the dog.

Arma3P

Once the process is finished you will have the unpacked Arma data available on your harddrive, for example at P:\a3\map_data\gdt_concrete_co.paa you can find the texture that is used for concrete surfaces on the Arma 3 terrains. Unpacked Arma Files
