How to Install Creator DLCs on Your Arma 3 Server

Creator DLCs (CDLCs) are premium expansions for Arma 3. Here's how to download one to your Arma 3 server and load it like any other mod.

Downloading Creator DLCs

Creator DLC files are downloaded through the Steam Beta Branch setting, which points your server at the creatordlc branch.

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Advanced, set Steam Beta Branch to creatordlc.
  4. 4
    Click Reinstall in the top-right.
  5. 5
    Select Format (keep settings), then confirm and wait for the install to finish.

Loading a Creator DLC

Once the download has finished, load the CDLC by adding its mod folder name to the Additional Mods field, just like any other mod.

  1. 1
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  2. 2
    Under Modding, in the Additional Mods field, add the CDLC's mod folder code followed by a semicolon, with no @ prefix (unlike Workshop mods). For example, vn; for S.O.G. Prairie Fire, or a mixed list like @123456789;vn;, where the Workshop mod keeps its @ and the CDLC does not.
  3. 3
    Click Save & Restart to load it.

These are the mod folder names for the available Creator DLCs:
