permission to upload in a mod pack
My name is Michael and I am a member of the 509PIR Arma III Milsim Organization. ( http://509pir.us/ )Currently in our unit we have 30 mods with a size of 23. 9GB. I would like to reduce the number of MODs our members need to download and make it more user friendly for our less technically inclined members, and we running out of space in our mod init lines on our server. I respectfully request to use your MOD in a private mod pack for our unit that would be updated and maintained by me on Steam. Steam name ( A26Mike). This could be done in either a public pack or a private one. I appreciate your hard work on the MOD you made, and the dedication to the ARMA III community. Thank you for the consideration
V/R

Hey Michael,
Could you please explain why having a collection with 5 mods should be more convenient/easier than one with 30! I never really got that.
Which kind of server do you have/Which server tool are you using, that the number of characters in the init line is limited?

Regards,
Jonas

Not all of our mods are on steam. I am not the server admin we have a server box. But I know one issue is that it doesn’t, Show the mods on the required list and size is not the issue it’s the numbers. This is not an issue for me however it is for some. Back pack on chest is one of the core mods we use I would like to add to the pack I’m making. Either way great mod thanks

Thank you for getting back to me Michael!
First on all, I don't really see how it's relevant that not all mods you're using are on steam. And I'm sorry but I don't really get what you were trying to explain to me.
I generally deny every request, to reupload BOC to any public mod source (Steam Worshop, Armaholic, etc.), because there is a "official" version kept up to date by me. There were (and probably will be) a few exceptions to this rule, which I only granted, because we couldn't come up with another solution than reuploading.
A little bit more ease of use isn't one of those things.

Arma3Sync and similar programs is another story. Of course everyone is allowed to add BOC to their A3S repo (for example) because it isn't a public mod source. Private mods on the steam workshop is still not allowed, because the steam workshop is public.

Under these circumstances I can't allow you to reupload it.

Regards,
Jonas
