[GUIDE & FAQ] Addon Sync A3Sync - Rund - 02-17-2016 FAQ Q: Do I need to use such a sync tool to play with CiA? A: No, but it is highly recommended. You could download each update yourself, and create a shortcut for joining. However, we update our addons on a regular (weekly sometimes) basis, which means that it's easy to miss an update, and errors are likely to occur. Configration and usage guides Arma3 Sync Configuration Runtime environment Java (JRE) Oracle 8 or higher must be installed, download Download Arma3Sync from http://www.sonsofexiled.fr/arma3sync/releases/ In the tab "Launcher options" , set your Arma3 path if it didn't detect it, and set any startup parameters In the tab "Addon Option", add the folder that (going to) contain the CiA mods. This folder should not contain your other mods! In the "repositories" tab, click +, and put [] in the "public auto-config url", and click "import". This will correctly put the settings. Click OK. Usage In the "repositories" tab, select the CiA repo, and hit the "connect" button with the blue arrow. Make sure the destination folder (set in the "Addon options" tab), is selected Click the green check to check for changes Select "exact match" and "select all". This deletes any mods in this folder that are not in the repo! Press the black "play" icon to start the synchronization Go to the "Addons" tab, and check if the CiA addon group is checked (if not, select in in "Modsets"), and hit "Start game". Additional mods Add the folder that contain your additional mods in the "Addon options" tab. Any additional mods that you want to launch can be selected by creating an addon group in the "addons" tab (right click), and dragging them from the left to the right.
