Public Data – Category

Introduction

Bohemia Interactive has released sample files and data from their games for the community, to learn from examples, base their own creations on the existing content, and expand the Armaverse. These packs include configuration files, material files, 3D models, textures, animations as well as complete game data in the form of PBOs. The public data is released under Bohemia Interactive's content licenses, established to support the creative community evolving around its titles, and to set clear rules for the use of both Bohemia Interactive's and user-made content.

Note that previous releases of sample model packages are replaced by the new ones, with new licenses applied to the content.

Data Packages

• Arma 1 Sample Models - The package of sample models from Arma 1 (Armed Assault) re-released under new license.
• Arma 2 Sample Models - The pack of sample models and animations from Arma 2 and its expansions.
• Arma Licensed Data Pack - Binarized data from the Arma series (from CWC to A2:CO) in PBO files. The purpose of this package is to clearly identify which game data is licensed for public use and modification, and what are the related conditions and requirements.
• Sahrani Community Package - Source data of the Sahrani terrain from Arma 1.
• Take On Helicopters Data Pack - Binarized data from the Take On Helicopters series in PBO files. The purpose of this package is to clearly identify which game data is licensed for public use and modification, and what are the related conditions and requirements.
