Source

git clone git://git.dev-heaven.net/dh-arma-tools.git

Requirements

• git clone git://git.dev-heaven.net/dh-arma-tools.git -- ASK SICKBOY for the six-arma-tools.exe
• BI Editing Tools 2: BinPBO
• Mikero PBODll Tools v2.71 (v2.77 tested and causes Binarization to fail)
• Ruby 1.9.1 or later
  • log4r gem (After Ruby install: gem install log4r)

Configure Six Arma Tools

1. After you have the Arma Tools Source cloned as instructed above, Copy config.sample.yml to six-arma-tools.yml and adjust settings as required.
Example of a completed and working ..\dh-arma-tools\lib\six-arma-tools.yml file

# sample config file, copy to config.yml (or six-arma-tools.yml when used externally) and edit
# When paths are not defined, it expects the program to be in PATH
--- 
:paths: 
  :extractpbo: P:/tools/mikerotools
  :makepbo: P:/tools/mikerotools
  :rapify: P:/tools/mikerotools
  :binpbo: C:/Program Files/Bohemia Interactive/Tools2/BinPBO Personal Edition
  :dssignfile: C:/Program Files/Bohemia Interactive/Tools2/DSUtils
  :dscreatekey: C:/Program Files/Bohemia Interactive/Tools2/DSUtils
:settings:
  :temp: C:/temp
  :include: C:/Program Files/Bohemia Interactive/Tools2/_include.txt
  :prefix: $PBOPREFIX$
  :project: P:/x
  :log: P:/--logs--
# :destination: P:/x # When not defined, destination will be parentfolder

WARNING:

 1) Verify your ALL Directories in your config YML exist. 
Example: Some Vista machines do not have C:\TEMP created. You will get no useful warning. It will just fail. 

 2) Make sure any hard references (from any #include) besides the x folder are present (with contents), i.e. P:\userconfig 

 3) Folder names MUST match prefix stuff (*Case-Sensitivity* is Important -- especially for BinPBO) 

2. Create your _include.txt in the location referenced in your config.yml above C:/Program Files/Bohemia Interactive/Tools2/_include.txt

 *.rvmat;script_*.hpp;*.sqm;*.ext;*.bin;*.yml;*.yaml;*.xml

When completed your entire contents should look like the following:

*.pac;*.paa;*.rtm;*.sqf;*.sqs;*.bikb;*.fsm;*.wss;*.ogg;*.wav;*.fxy;*.csv;*.html;*.lip;*.txt;*.wrp;*.bisurf;*.rvmat;script_*.hpp;*.sqm;*.ext;*.bin;*.yml;*.yaml;*.xml

2. Next you need to create 4 new entries (PBO UnPack, PBO Pack, PBO Binarize, Rapify).

Example in creating PBO Binarize:
A. Right Click on a directory or file and select FileMenu Tools. 
B. Then Select "Configure FileMenu Tools..." 
C. Click "Add a Command" 
D. Fill in the Program Properites with the Argument Details Below. (For this step see video - http://screencast.com/t/N2I5ZWM3NT)

• Open file menu tools configuration and create new entries for each:
  • all entries:
    • Run Program
    • Program: path to six-arma-tools.exe
    • Workdir: path to folder where six-arma-tools.exe resides

• Arguments for entries:
  • Unpack: -e %FILEPATHS%
  • Pack: -m %FILEPATHS%
  • Binarize: -b %FILEPATHS%
  • Rapify: -r %FILEPATHS%

From now on you can right click as many files or folders, and do the appropriate actions
