# Arma Scripts Documentation

All script usages can be found by passing the "-h" flag unless explicitly stated otherwise, for example:
`Arma-Start-Server -h`

## Arma-Install-Mod

Used to install mods to an Arma 3 Server

- Usage:
    - `Arma-Install-Mod -u <steam username> -s <server id> -w <workshop id>`
    - Example:
        - `Arma-Install-Mod -u treatybreaker -s 0 -w 463939057 -m ace3`
            - This would install the ace3 mod to the server named "Arma-Server-0"
    - Flags
        - `-u` | `--user`
            - The steam user that is used to login and download mods from the steam workshop
        - `-s` | `--server`
            - The server number corresponding to the server in ~/Arma/ where the server number is the last character in
              the server name
                - E.g. The server is named: "Server-0" then the server number would be "0"
        - `-w` | `--workshop-id`
            - The workshop id from the arma3 workshop (the last numbers in the steam workshop url)
                - Example: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=463939057, the workshop-id would be
                  463939057

## Arma-Parse-Modlist

In the Arma 3 launcher it is possible to export a selected modlist as a html file. The exported modlist can be used with
`Arma-Parse-Modlist` to automatically install all mods from a given modlist -- significantly faster than using
`Arma-Install-Mod` on files one at a time.

A modlist can be exported to the server via scp like so:

`scp Arma-Modlist.html user@host:~/` -- this will send the modlist to the home directory of the given user

- Usage
    - `Arma-Parse-Modlist <path/to/modlist> <steam username> <server number>`
    - Example:
        - `Arma-Parse-Modlist ~/Arma-Modlist.html treatybreaker 0`
            - This would install all mods in the given modlist to "Arma-Server-0"
    - Positional Arguments
        - `<path/to/modlist>`
            - The absolute path to a given modlist, using relative paths *may* work, but is not supported nor
              recommended
        - `<steam username>`
            - The steam user that is used to login and download mods from the steam workshop
        - `<server number>`
            - The server number corresponding to the server in ~/Arma/ where the server number is the last character in
              the server name
                - E.g. The server is named: "Server-0" then the server number would be "0"

## Arma-Start-Server

Used to launch an Arma server or create a new server

- Usage
    - Without steam update/download (only use this on an existing server)
        - `Arma-Start-Server -s <server number> -n`
        - Example:
            - `Arma-Start-Server -s 0 -n`
                - This would start "Arma-Server-0" without updating from steam and as such is significantly faster to
                  start
    - With steam update/download
        - `Arma-Start-Server -s <server number> -u <steam username>`
        - Example:
            - `Arma-Start-Server -s 0 -u treatybreaker`
                - This would start "Arma-Server-0" and update or install the server with the steam user "treatybreaker"
    - Flags
        - `-u` | `--user`
            - The steam user that is used to login and download/update the server
            - Should only be used if `-n`/`--no-update` flag isn't passed
        - `-s` | `--server`
            - The server number corresponding to the server in ~/Arma/ where the server number is the last character in
              the server name
                - E.g. The server is named: "Server-0" then the server number would be "0"
        - `-n` | `--no-update`
            - This skips any login with steam and does not update/install/validate server files
            - Only use on servers that exist and are known to have good file validity
            - Do *not* use this with the `-u`/`--user` flag

## Arma-Connect-Server

Used to connect to a running Arma server's console to see log output or kill the server with ^C (control + c)

To disconnect from an Arma server without killing it type ^B D, that being hold `control` and `b` and then let go of
*both* and hit `d`.

`-h` flag does *not* exist for this script. (No help menu)

- Usage
    - `Arma-Connect-Server <server number>`
        - Example:
            - `Arma-Connect-Server 0`
                - This would connect to the server started with server number "0"
    - Positional Arguments
        - `<server number>`
            - The server number corresponding to the server in ~/Arma/ where the server number is the last character in
              the server name
                - E.g. The server is named: "Server-0" then the server number would be "0"
