+====== ArmA 3 Addon Builder ======
+Addon Builder requires Steam client to be running.
+When you binarize addons with addon builder, you need to configure it first. Most important thing is to setup Options -> List of files to copy directly if using the GUI or use below includes file list with cmd line.
+Addonbuilder_Includes.txt:
+<code>
+*.pac;*.paa;*.rtm;*.sq?;*.bikb;*.fsm;*.wss;*.ogg;*.fxy;*.csv;*.html;*.xml;*.lip;*.ext;*.dbf;*.prj;*.shx;*.shp
+</code>
+Addon Builder is hard coded to use the exclude.lst from the filebank location, it behaves different between GUI and command line usage. Note that **include** list works from any directory.
+As recommended in ArmA 3 tools install page, do not run addon builder from the steam client, instead use desktop short cut or better yet .bat batch files.
+Command line:
+<code dos>
+addonbuilder.exe p:\<namespace>\<addon> DESTINATION -clear -temp=TEMPPATH -prefix=<namespace>\<addon> -project=p: -include=p:\Addonbuilder_Includes.txt -binarizeFullLogs
+</code>
+**Do not run your command line batch file from the P: drive!** You need to run it from the actual hard drive partition like D: where your steam + addon builder is located. I dont know if it matters if steam+addonbuilder is on C: and you run arma3work drive from D: for example.
+-project= parameter is fishy, if you use "p:\" then your RVMAT's are not binarized/copied, you must use like in our above example: "p:" just the partition character without backslash.
+Addon builder / binarize automatically creates config.cpp enry class cfgMods - why?
+Binarize crashes if P3D's are missing? not sure please confirm.
