All Mikero tools 'behave', install, and operate in an identical manner. You are strongly advised to read the General Readme once.
Except for Operation Flashpoint, Dep3d is not intended to reverse engineer odol p3d's back to mlods
Without options, DeP3d simply inspects any p3d for errors.
With options, you can:
Output is generally produced on screen
A no nonsense auto installer saving you sweat and tears.
Do not run this, or any tool from bis, as administrator.
'Admin' is not what you think it is, it is an alias for 'Microsoft Office Use only'.
Consider yourself warned.

It is useful to quickly scan a folder, series of folders, or a list of p3d's looking for changes to the format.
One such example is introduction of a physx lod.
To that end, and in keeping with other pbo tools, dep3d accepts scan syntax on the command line (-options are assumed).
dir /b somefolder > some.lst.dep3d will convert ODOL (binarised) to MLOD (unbinarised) origami (paper) models.
They have no use whatsoever to the thief but will prove useful/instructive for everyone else.
The purpose of providing this feature is to allow authors the create either encrypted, or obfuscated pbos AND supply origami for map makers so that those models can also be used in maps.
dep3d will convert any OFP p3d (binarised, unbinarised, or demo) to arma mlod. This is the only 'reverse engineering' allowed.

You can list, change, add or delete properties with the following syntax:
+|-GL[nn] [-lod=whatever ] | List lod(s)
[nn] is an optional number in decimal or hex. By default, is zero.
[nn] translates to a bit field. The combined values are as follows:
-GLname | List all lods with this named property
-GDname [-lod=whatever] Delete property
-GSname=value [-lod=whatever] | Set/add/change
-GSname=value | Change only, do not add
Examples
| listing | -GL -lod=2 | list all properties in the 2nd lod |
| -GL -lod=7.0e15 | list all properties in the firegeometry lod | |
| -GL -lod=Memory | list all properties in the Memory lod | |
| -GL | list all properties all lods | |
| -GL4 | list only lods that have properties | |
| -GLname | list all properties of lods that have this property | |
| delete | -GDname | delete 'name' from all lods |
| -GDname -lod=1000.0 | delete 'name' from the viewgunner lod | |
| set | -GSname=value -lod=Geometry | Change or add property in the geolod |
| -GSname=value -lod=1.0e15 | Change or add property in the memory lod | |
| -GSname=value | Change value in all lods that have it. (mass add not permitted) |
LOD RESOLUTIONS
-lod=whatever can be a physical lod number OR a lod's resolution OR the 'accepted' name of the lod itself as below (case insensitive).
