CBA: Community Base Addons public release!

Sickboy · 07-07-2009, 12:57 AM

Current version: CBA v0.3.0: Feature Release

Vision

What does the name Community Base Addons mean? It is a system that:

Aims to have community wide acceptance and to be used as much as possible by community addons to maintain compatibility.
Offers a range of features for addon-makers and mission designers.
The community is very much encouraged to request or submit functionality.
- The most obvious example would be to submit functions to be included in the CBA function library. This would make them available to a large audience of developers and save on replicated development.

Key Features

Extended Eventhandlers: official port of XEH for Arma 2.
Function library: Integrated into the BIS Functions module.
Many other things you never thought you needed but won't be able to live without...
Full documentation is available at DevHeaven.

The manual, functions reference and complete sources are included in the release.

You forgot to add the online reference of the function and macro library to the news post!

Nice one guys! Excellent work.

I've already been looking at the documentation and discovered something:

Look here: http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/cca/Extended_Eventhandlers

Under section 1.8 (XEH init EH on player respawn) it says:

Quote:

IMPORTANT: This feature will only work on the player's unit - AI units that respawn won't have their XEH init EH:s re-executed. (If someone can figure out a trick to identify playable units in a MP mission, this limitation could be removed)

Shouldn't this be easy now in Arma2 with the playableUnits command? Maybe this has been fixed already (didn't find anything in the changelog), but wanted to point it out just in case.
