Monthly changes

1. Grab the announcement template to Notepad++ or similar

2. Figure out current terrains and create a diff of new terrains. For example:

   1. Find previous announcement

   2. Copy terrains from the announcement, remove lines starting with '-', rename lines starting with '+' to ' ' (space)

      For example:

      + Isla Duala
      + Khoramshahr
        Kujari
        Lingor & Dingor
      - Lythium
      - Mull of Kintyre
      - G.O.S. N'ziwasogo v2
      + Rosche
      + Scottish Highlands

      ->

        Isla Duala
        Khoramshahr
        Kujari
        Lingor & Dingor
        Rosche
        Scottish Highlands

   3. Check the results of the community poll. Add any new terrains to the list and mark with '+'.

   4. Check the results of the Zeus terrain poll. Mark added terrains with '+' and removed (no votes) terrains with '-'. Keep existing terrains as ' '. Also check #events (and maybe #zeuses) to see if there are any upcoming missions that use modded terrains.

      For example

      + Fallujah
      - Isla Duala
      - Khoramshahr
        Kujari
      - Lingor & Dingor
      + G.O.S. N'ziwasogo v2
        Rosche
        Scottish Highlands
      + Tembelan Island

3. Update the mods on the server

   Note: All mod lists are located under arma@hestia.zeusops.com:modlists/

   1. Add any newly added mods to main.txt and allmods.txt
   2. Delete lines corresponding to removed mods and terrains, add voted in terrains to main.txt
   3. Check that the changes on the server match the list created above. git diff on WSL is your friend

4. Restart the server to download the new mods. For updating optional mods, run update-mods.sh optional

5. Update the dependencies of the zeusopsmod and the content of the collections: main, extra terrains, optional pool

   Note: All used mods should be found in the Favourite Mods list of the zeusoperations account. If that is not the case, add missing mods to favourites.

6. Restart the Arma 3 Launcher, check that the dependencies are correct and confirm that you can join the server

7. Update officers

   1. Update TS roles (1x MAJ, 1x CPT, 1x 1LT, rest 2LT). People not voted in and those left out of the polls go to 2LT
   2. Update the Attendance sheet
   3. Update the members of the zeusops-co Google Group (grants edit access to the Attendance sheet and others)

8. Fill in the announcement template

   1. Write explanations for any unusual mod changes (mods that weren't voted, dependencies, workshop reuploads etc)
   2. Remember to check the meeting notes for any rule changes and other things of note

9. Add screenshots of the mod and CO votes as attachments in the announcement

10. Post the announcement and enjoy the s
