To make the transition from old geometries to the new ones easier, an *o2script* was created (bundled with Arma 3 Tools), which allows for a quick update of any character p3d files.\n\n### Requirements\n\n- Arma 3 Tools installed\n\n### Usage\n\n1. Navigate to **Arma 3 Tools** instalation directory and then go to **ObjectBuilder\\O2Scripts\\CharacterFG** folder\n\n2. Find following batch file to perform drag & drop operations\n\n- **addNewCharacterFG.bat**\n\n#### Using drag and drop variant\n\nUsing drag & drop variant is quite easy. You can drag single files, multiple files or whole folders.\n\n> [!WARNING]\n> If you drag a folder onto the batch files, make sure only .p3d files are contained in that folder that you want to update. **Be careful to not overwrite the fire geometry of the wrong p3d files.**\n\nIf **addNewCharacterFG.bio2s** script is missing in \"**ObjectBuilder\\O2Scripts**\" folder, script will try to copy paste it to that location.\n\nFinally, batch file will run that new o2script and process the p3d:\n\n- Script will try to verify if there is already existing **Fire Geometry**\n- If fire geometry is missing, script will exit!\n- Otherwise, old **Fire Geometry** will be replaced by new, empty LOD\n- In next step, new Fire Geometry will be merged from **NewFireGeometryTemplate.p3d**\n- If everything succeed, file will be saved with all above modifications","sections":[{"heading":null,"level":1,"markdown":"Arma 3 v1.98\nWith this update, characters received updated fire geometries that aim to improve hit detection.
