Recommended Import Order

Import dependencies in this order to avoid broken proxies, missing inheritance, and config errors. Each step builds on the previous.

Environment & Tools

Install Arma 3 Tools (Steam), Object Builder, TexView 2, and Addon Builder before touching assets.

Base Dependencies

Load CBA_A3 and any framework mods your project inherits from (ACE, RHS, etc.) in the launcher.

Characters & Uniforms

Import character assets first — weapons and equipment often attach to bone proxies defined here.

Weapons

Add firearms and launchers once character skeletons and hand/memory points exist.

Helmets, Gear & NVGs

Headgear, vests, and optics depend on character configs and often share texture/material pipelines.

Vehicles (Light → Heavy → Air → Sea)

Start with cars, then APCs/IFVs/tanks, then helicopters/planes, then ships — each adds simulation complexity.
