ArmA 3 Launcher for Linux and Mac. Since Bohemia didn't port their launcher to Linux and Mac and existing launcher didn't satisfy my needs I decided to create my own.

Launcher detects and symlinks all mods from Workshop and ArmA's main directory. It also allows to add your own mods from outside ArmA directory.

• Read location of ArmA 3 (config.vdf parsing)
• Workshop mods support (symlink to ~arma/!workshop)
• Detect @mods (ArmA main dir)
• Add mods from outside ArmA's dir (symlink)
• Launch ArmA with desired options
• Cross platform - Linux and Mac

• Steam integration (info about downloading)
• Server browser
• .paa reading - for displaying mod images in launcher
• Mod dependency caching from Steam Workshop
• MacOS binary build
• Code refactoring (logic should be outside GUI code)
• PPA for Ubuntu
