ArmA 3 Launcher for Linux and Mac. Since Bohemia didn't port their launcher to Linux and Mac and existing launcher didn't satisfy my needs I decided to create my own.
Launcher detects and symlinks all mods from Workshop and ArmA's main directory. It also allows to add your own mods from outside ArmA directory.
- Read location of ArmA 3 (config.vdf parsing)
- Workshop mods support (symlink to ~arma/!workshop)
- Detect @mods (ArmA main dir)
- Add mods from outside ArmA's dir (symlink)
- Launch ArmA with desired options
- Cross platform - Linux and Mac
- Steam integration (info about downloading)
- Server browser
- .paa reading - for displaying mod images in launcher
- Mod dependency caching from Steam Workshop
- MacOS binary build
- Code refactoring (logic should be outside GUI code)
- PPA for Ubuntu
