Hello,

I am new to the Arma community and trying to learn as much of the game and its modification potential as I can. What is the benefit to using a signed item vs one that is not, or there no such benefit?


Thanks,
Mike.

Stops people cheating on servers as far as I know. So more people will use your addon if its signed :)

Yeah the BISIGN file is used server side to check the client side PBO and makes sure ever ones PBO do the same thing. PBOs can be modified so your weapons are more accurate, or you have less recoil etc. So if you do modify the PBO to do something like less recoil it would no longer match the BISIGN file and the server will kick the client.
