ArmA 3 Mod Exporter

Simple tool to extract and export the list of mods currently loaded in a running Arma 3 session, including both mod names and Steam Workshop IDs.

Usage

1. Place this script in any folder.
2. Run the script while Arma 3 is running with your desired mods loaded.
3. The script will prompt you to define your Arma directory and Workshop directory (currently using two .txt files: path.txt and workshop_path.txt).
   • path.txt: Should contain the path to your Arma 3 installation. The script checks for the presence of at least one of the following executables: arma3.exe, arma3_x64.exe, or arma3battleye.exe.
   • workshop_path.txt: Should contain the path to your Steam Workshop mods folder (must include workshop\content\107410 and be on the same drive as the game path).
4. At least one of the Arma 3 executables must be running, and at least one mod must be loaded for the script to work.
5. After validation, you'll see:
