Build System for Arma 3

HEMTT

Build System for Arma 3 powered by armake2 for Linux and Windows - Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck for Arma 3 mods. HEMTT focuses on CBA and ACE3 standards while providing project configurability and additional utilities.

Read the documentation to learn more about it and reference the example project HEMTT-Example to see it in action.

Using HEMTT

HEMTT is a CLI tool that must be called from the root of your project. HEMTT needs to be placed in the project root and called with ./hemtt on Linux or hemtt.exe on Windows. You can install HEMTT system wide on Windows by using setup.exe in the download.

Below is just a showcase, read the documentation to learn about more features and reasonings.

Creating a HEMTT Project

You can either create a brand new Arma 3 mod by using hemtt create while in an empty directory or use hemtt init while in an existing mod folder to create a hemtt.json file. The hemtt.json file keeps track various properties of your project.

Creating a new addon

To add an additional addon (also called component) to your project with all the skeleton files you need, use hemtt addon [name]

Building

You can create a build using hemtt build or a release build using hemtt build --release.

Any non-addon files you want to be included in the releases folder must be included in the files propertly in hemtt.json.

HEMTT currently uses addons/main/script_version.hpp to get version information when doing a release build.

Download

HEMTT is available for Linux and Windows via GitHub Releases.
