CHANGELOG

Added: BankRev PBO extraction tool (see https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BankRev for more details)
Added: Sample models with commented configs for a boat, a plane and a helicopter
Updated: Stand-alone Windows Dedicated Server (1.12)
Updated: Stand-alone Linux Dedicated Server (1.12)
- Known issue: When BattlEye is enabled, clients may get kicked immediately
- Known issue: If you start the server without Steam running you'll get following log message:
  - "[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed."
  - This is OK since running Steam is not necessary for Dedicated Servers
- Known issue: Steam client modifies the steam_appid.txt file incorrectly. In case of issues, verify its content is: 107410
- Known issue: Sometimes the add-ons are loaded from the wrong installation (e.g. main game)
  - Try adding -mod= to your arma3server.exe shortcut
Updated: New versions of core config files
Fixed: Sample faction class is no longer of high priority
Fixed: Install script correctly adds even path to BinMakeRules to system registry
Added: Batch file to correctly generate BinMakeRules (should be run automatically upon launching Addon Builder at least once)

NOTES

You can find the tools package in the Steam library (switch the filter to "Tools") - "Arma 3 Tools"
You can find the servers in the Steam tools library - "Arma 3 Server" (based on your OS, it will download the Windows or Linux version)
- Administrators can also use the command-line SteamCMD utility. The app ID is to be 233780.
- Physics simulation powered by NVIDIA® PhysX™. NVIDIA® and PhysX™ are trademarks of NVIDIA Corporation and are used under license.
You will probably need to start Addon Builder (primary tool) once to add all needed registry entries for the rest of tools.
