I got bored waiting on 2017 / Epoch for Arma3. So i decided to write up an C++ Extension for Arma3server.

Install Windows

Look in windows_release/ pick a version i.e latest one.

Crash C000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION

extDB doesn't work well with large datatypes in Database...
Check for Longtext (4GB) change it to MediumText / Text

Using Fred's Malloc

ExtDB is incompatible with https://github.com/fred41/tbbmalloc_arma.
Workaround rename Fred's malloc & change arma startup to the new filename.

Disclaimer

This is basically my first time using C++
My main code experience is Python (pygtk + twisted), this is basically a hobby.
