CBA: Community Base Addons

For Bohemia Interactive's ARMA 3

Vision

What does the name Community Base Addons mean? It is a system that:

• Offers a range of features for addon-makers and mission designers
• Aims to have community wide acceptance and to be used as much as possible by community addons to maintain compatibility.
• The community is very much encouraged to request new functionality or submit functionality. The most obvious example would be submitting functions to be included in the CBA function library.

Features

• Extended Eventhandlers
• Function and Macro Libraries
• Key Management and configurable Keybinding system
• Custom Events System
• Author and Credits system (Displayed during Main Menu and Pause Menu)
• Help System
• Versioning System
• UI System

Availability

The latest stable release is available here

Documentation

For Players

Most of the community will only need to use CBA since it will become a requirement for many addons and scripts. In and of itself, it does not provide the end-user with any functionality.

Download:

• GitHub
• Armaholic
• Steam Workshop

Use:

• Installation
• Bugs and issues
• Credits

For Addon-makers and Mission-designers

Almost everyone making content for the game would benefit from using CBA.

• Making a component that uses CBA
• Function library reference
• Requesting new functionality
• Changelog

For Contributors

CBA is intended to be developed not only by the official development team, but also by the community itself.

• Building CBA from source
• Submitting content (functions, macros or patches). This would make your work available to a large audience of developers and save on replicated development.
