How does it look in game?

Game masters can press Ctrl-Shift-C and enter up to 130 characters.

After they hit "Send", Clippy will happily pop up in every players screen to announce the good tidings.

How to build the mod locally?

So you wanna build the mod for yourself so that you can implement your own awesome ideas for Clippy? Perfect.

Preparations

* I assume you work with a Windows machine and clone the Repo on your Desktop, for simplicity.

Clone the repository: git clone git@github.com:claudehohl/arma3-clippy.git

Create a folder clippy-local on your Desktop and create a folder named addons inside that.

Build

Open The Addon Builder in Arma Tools:

alttext

  • Pick the Clippy-folder inside the repository as source directory
  • Pick your newly created addons-folder as destination directory

alttext

Check the options:

  • Set the "List of files to copy" to *.*
  • Set "Addon prefix" to A3_Clippy

alttext

In the Addon Builder, hit PACK.

This has created clippy-local\addons\Clippy.pbo

Load your local mod in Arma

In the Arma Launcher, click on Local mod:

alttext

Pick your clippy-local folder:

alttext

The mod is installed. Load it!

...and everything is set to go.
