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 or submit functionality.
  • The most obvious example would be to submit functions to be included in the CBA function library.

Features¶

• Extended Eventhandlers (XEH)
• Function and Macro Libraries
• Key Management
• Custom Events System

Documentation¶

CBA is moving ahead according to a grand plan which might not be obvious.

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: Armaholic or DevHeaven.
• Installation.
• Report a bug.
• 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.

• Getting a copy of the development repository.
• Submitting content (functions, macros or patches). This would make your work available to a large audience of developers and save on replicated development.
