Description:
"Climb" adds climbing and descending functionality to the game.
You can climb by double-tapping a key you specify in the CBA keybindings (Default is C, can be found under controls -> Configure Addons).
"Climb" isn't meant to turn ArmA into a free-running paradise and I therefore tried to keep the climbing as realistic/ reasonable as possible.
You are also able to help other players up and down!

A small summary:
• Climb by double-tapping the key you specify in the CBA keybindings menu
• Descend by double tapping the climb key on a ledge
• Offer someone help by double-tapping the climb key
• The maximum height you're able to climb is based on your current weight load
• Climbing will increase your fatigue, also based on your current load (That said, it's very exhausting anyway )
• You won't be able to climb very high with a launcher on your back, however you can throw it over/on top of the obstacle!
• You won't be able to climb at all in case you're too heavy-loaded
• You won't be able to climb if you're too injured

The climbing/descending and helping aren't pretty but do their job surprisingly well.


Installation:
Extract into the ArmA 3 Directory, by default this is located in:
32-Bit - C:\Program Files\Steam/Steamapps\Common\ArmA 3\
64-Bit - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam/Steamapps\Common\ArmA 3\
After extraction it should look like this:

Steam\Steamapps\Common\ArmA 3\@your_mod_folder_name\addons\

You can also use the "Arma 3 Alpha" folder in your "My Documents" folder. Your folder setup could than look like for example this:
mydocuments\Arma3 Alpha\@your_mod_folder_name1\addons\
mydocuments\Arma3 Alpha\@your_mod_folder_name2\addons\
mydocuments\Arma3 Alpha\@your_mod_folder_name2\addons\

When present place the "userconfig" folder into your game install folder, usually:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3".
You may already have "userconfig" folder from other addons and/or mods in which case it is safe to merge the contents from this archive.

You'll also need to add a Launch Parameter to Steam, in order to do so right-click on ArmA 3 Alpha and click Properties and then Set Launch Options. In the window that opens enter in -mod=@your_mod_folder_name
For using multiple mods you would then do so like this:

-mod=@mod_name;@mod_name2;@mod_name3;@mod_name4;@mod_name5

Note:
You can also use -nosplash to get rid of the splash art and intro videos.


And of course you can also enable and disable community made addons and mods through the in-game Options Expansions menu if you do not want to mess with startup parameters!

When the above information still does not provide you with enough to learn how to install custom addons and mods you can always ask in our Guide On Installing Mods.

Known issues:
• You and the other player might get stuck when helping eachother up. This is because the mod waits for the both of you to be in reasonable stances and that part might be a bit unreliable.
Make sure that the helper is crouching and the helped player is standing in case you get stuck.
