[Feature] Profiling Branch PBO HTTP Download #229
Description
Discussed in #228
Originally posted by Stoneworth March 7, 2025
For the new profiling branch, downloading mission PBOs through a http or https has been introduced. Currently I have to open the server_config.cfg manually and paste this in:
missionHTTPDownloadBaseURL = "http://<OUR IP>/missionfiles/";
Is there any chance of getting a feature introduced that will allow it to be set up in FASTER, would be very useful with multiple profiles having been created.
Seems that any time you save changes to the profile it will also over-write this and means I gotta go back into it and re-paste it.
For when this gets looked at
Arma Server
2.18.152706
For the HTTP Downloads:
In server.cfg add the following entry
missionHTTPDownloadBaseURL = "https://website.com/missionfiles/"
It MUST be http or https and end with a /
The game will append the mission file name (same casing as file on server) + .pbo (Resulting in "https://website.com/missionfiles/MissionName.Altis.pbo"
Current file size limit for download has been set at 512MB.
Only clients also on profiling V25+ will be able to download this way, older prof and main branch client are unaffected.
The client will first try to download from the URL, if the download fails for any reason the client will fall back to the old method.
This is still very early and any of the above requirements/limits may change at any point.
