In this template I've included a few things to help you get started. The example folder is a simple example of a project structure. The tools folder contains a bat file to install Hemtt. The .hemtt\project.toml file is a template for your project configuration.

This template is very opinionated and assumes a project structure like P:/z/{Project Name}. While Hemtt does not require a P drive I recommend it to save yourself a headache down the line if you're working with p3ds.

For more information on Hemtt check out the Hemtt Documentation.

GitHub: Hemtt

If you do not already have a P drive you can mount one using Arma 3 Tools or Mikeros Tools Arma3P. You can also use subst to create a virtual drive.

subst P: "C:\Path\To\Your\Project Folder"

Create a folder named z in your project folder. This is where all your projects will get stored. You can create this folder using the following command in your terminal, command prompt, or right click in the file explorer and create a new folder.

mkdir P:\z

Clone this template into your project folder.

git clone https://github.com/liamcannon/Hemtt-Template.git {Your Project Name}

Adding {Your Project Name} at the end will create a folder with that name.

There's a few places in the template you'll have to rename before you can start using it. Look for TAG, Your Name, Project Name and replace them with your own values. Files like script_component.hpp, $PBOPREFIX$, and project.toml are some examples for places to take a look at.

Example:

z\TAG\addons\example -> z\TestProject\addons\example

Where TAG is the name of the folder you cloned the template into.

Run the bat file inside /tools/ to install Hemtt. This will install hemtt.exe into your project folder.

To build the project open your terminal and navigate to your project folder. Run the following command:

./hemtt.exe build

This will build your project and output the pbo files to the P:\z\TAG\.hemttout\build folder.
