Client Main Usage Guide
The client main addon provides the shared mod identity, version metadata,
CBA settings, and macro foundation used by the Forge client addons.
Purpose
Use forge_client_main as the foundation dependency for client addons that
need Forge macros, function naming, settings, or mod-level configuration.
Feature logic should stay in the owning addon. main should remain limited to
shared client configuration and compile infrastructure.
Key Files

Dependency Pattern
Feature addons normally depend on forge_client_main in their config.cpp.
class forge_client_example {
requiredAddons[] = {
"forge_client_main"
};
};
Usage Notes
- Put domain UI, repositories, and event handling in feature addons.
- Put reusable browser bridge behavior in
forge_client_common. - Put server-only behavior in
arma/server/addons. - Keep settings in
CfgSettings.hppwhen they apply to the client mod as a whole or to a client feature toggle.
