Full Pack Features

While this quickstart guide will setup the bare minimum of what is available in the pack, you may wish to reference Feature Tutorials, which provides a more comprehensive look at using the packs features.

Compositions

Supplied for you are several compositions, available via a separate download on the release page.

These contain a number of use cases which should expedite your mission building process, including setting up the pack's arsenal, supply crate and logistics systems.

Other compositions include an example of a specific part of the pack - such as the Paradrop script and its accompanying "lost equipment & weapons on drop" script.

Composition Installation

  1. Download WMP_Compositions-versionNumber.zip (E.g WMP_Compositions-v4.6.1.zip) from the latest release and open it.
  2. Navigate to your Arma 3 Profile folder in your documents.
  3. Open your compositions folder
  4. Drag and drop the contents from the downloaded compositions folder into your compositions folder.

If you already have an older version of the compositions, it is wise to delete them first and then copy across the new compositions.
