## arma-ws v0.4

This is a simple addon, that will launch a WebSocket server, recieves/sends data between an external WS app and the ARMA engine.

This mod is basically a .DLL file.

## Modes

- COMMAND (different commands for clients):
1. client sends commands to the server
2. ARMA gets the commands from the server
3. ARMA executes the commands
4. ARMA sends the result back to the server
5. server sends the result to the client
6. goto 1

- BROADCAST (same commands for all clients):
1. server reads the commands at the start
2. ARMA gets the commands from the server
3. ARMA executes the commands
4. ARMA sends the result back to the server
5. server sends the result to all clients
6. goto 3

## Installation

- add "arma-ws" as a mod
- include (and/or modify) the content of the "example/sqf/<mode>" directory in your mission

check if it's working: launch the "example/html/<mode>/arma-ws.html" and you can see your player's coordinates at live

## Configuration

modify the 'arma-ws.ini'

## Motivation

This is my first external lib for ARMA and I think it's fun to connect ARMA to the outer world.

## Known errors

- crashes when the game is paused (use -noPause and Alt+Tab NOT Esc)
