A.C.E. Mod for ArmA 2, Official Announcement!
http://i50.tinypic.com/2s6vrm1.jpg

Release Notes

It has been nearly 3 weeks, and 9 successfully deployed updates, since the A.C.E. Advanced Combat Environment Mod, Beta 1 was released.
These 3 weeks have been very intense, with a very alive and vibrant Report -> Fix -> Feedback (Repeat) cycle, for both the mod and its distribution system.
We want to thank everyone who has contributed to the projects by reporting bugs, giving feedback or making suggestions!

Today we would like to announce our Public Beta 2 Release.
As a bonus in these x-mas times, we have added ACEX: PLA (Chinese Expansion), by Fromz!

We intend to keep updating our Mod following a set schedule.
We do this to get as much feedback and bug reports as possible, as soon as possible, and provide everyone the latest code to test.
This means the development will be ongoing, new improvements and additions will arrive as we go

Beta 2 (http://dev-heaven.net/projects/ace-mod2/news)

What is A.C.E. and what is it not

A.C.E. for ArmA 2 is a full conversion mod and is based on A.C.E. for ArmA 1, which was based on WGL for OFP.
The WGL and A.C.E 1 roots were "When realism matters". And with A.C.E. 2 it is no different.
We try to keep a balance between realism and gameplay. We try not to sacrifice either in name of the other.
We try to please as many as possible, but it is simply impossible to please all.
Please feel free to give constructive feedback on our choices.

The Package

The A.C.E. Package for ArmA 2, at this time, consists out of 5 building blocks:

CBA: Community Base Addons (http://updater.dev-heaven.net/mods/show/973db6b6-a754-11de-b50f-0021855d3b6d)
ACE: Core (http://updater.dev-heaven.net/mods/show/a546d346-a754-11de-b50f-0021855d3b6d)
ACEX: eXtras (http://updater.dev-heaven.net/mods/show/b1f84534-a754-11de-b50f-0021855d3b6d)
ACEX_PLA: Chinese Expansion, by Fromz (http://updater.dev-heaven.net/mods/show/f52a2674-f06f-11de-a9f2-0021855d3b6d)
ACEX_SM: SoundMod (Overriding default ArmA sounds) (http://updater.dev-heaven.net/mods/show/3551246a-ea7a-11de-905c-0021855d3b6d)
CBA and ACE are a requirement, while ACEX, ACEX_SM and ACEX_PLA are optional expansion packs.
This way, we hope to support our users who have requested smaller mod size, and ability to concentrate on their type of units/vehicles/weapons for countries they like to play with/against.

Status

Much of the Mod has been rewritten / optimized, and we have based our workflow and tools on CBA methods.
Previous Announce Thread (http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=91500) (ATM around 400 pages)
Previous ACE2 Discussion Thread (http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=73531)

Compatibility

We strive to keep our addons/mods as compatible as possible with others.
Sometimes this is not possible, or there were specific reasons why we had to go some way.
Please feel free to supply feedback on any compatibility issue you might encounter.

Thanks!

Our thanks goes to everyone involved in our Mod, from Developers to Testers, Contributors to Supporters, PR to Hosters, and Programmer- and Docu-wizards.
Special thanks goes out to our Lead Developer, Rocko, who has devoted most (if not all :p) of his free time and dedication to the mod's development.

Installer, Updater, Patcher

There have been significant changes to the way we distribute our Mod.
Due to the ever growing sizes of content, and thus installers and updates, we have switched to a realtime patching system, called rSync, which is the core tool of the "Six Updater" Suite.
The software, once installed, can be used to install, update, maintain and repair managed modfolders.
It uses smart technologies to minimize the amount of data that needs to be downloaded, and is a very lightweight and fast protocol.

The technology has been in use for several months by the ACE team, and individual testers aswell as communities.
Documentation will be provided, and support delivered where possible.

Our milestone releases will be available in easy mirrorable 7z files, to minimize the stress on the rsync system, and give people casual means to download the initial install.

You can choose which side Independent is allied to (including neither) using the mission editor. That way the PLA can fight "BLUFOR" or "OPFOR". Or both.

true, but what if you have other 'independent' units that you want to be allied with, but not allied with the PLA?

PLA will most likely never to be allied with BLUFOR, and almost always going to be allied with OPFOR.

NouberNou

Dec 25 2009, 19:34

so the PLA are independents? why are they not OPFOR?

The US and Chinese have mixed areas of interest, some that benefit both sides, some that only benefit one side. The same goes for the Russians and Chinese. Since you can choose which side the independents fight for in the editor it gives the mission designers the most flexibility to create missions based off of different political situations.

Daniel

Dec 25 2009, 19:35

Who is China more likely to get into confrontation with (disregarding Dragon Rising)? America or Russia? Besides, it's a moot point anyway; you can group units to a leader that doesn't exist of whichever side you want, and technically have 2 platoons of PLA fighting each other!

What has this got to do with ACE2? So what the Chinese are put on Independant side, the idea is that it makes any situation more possible

froggyluv

Dec 25 2009, 19:53

You can say that again for the US and Russian relationship. However, the Russians are considered OPFOR? Realistically the Chinese Government is not allied with the US. They should automatically be considered OPFOR:D

I don't undertsand, whats the problem with giving us the freedom to create any scenarios :confused:

You want PLA to be aligned with Opfor -easy as 1 click. You want PLA to be at war with Russia -also 1 click.

It's best the way it is because freedom for mission design trumps all.

I think Independent is an excellent way to go. It seems pretty reasonable to me. Besides, fromz has explained his reasoning in the past. The man is Chinese, so in my opinion the side designation should be left up to him anyways. What ever he's comfortable is fine with me.

It seems fitting though. For as long as they've been around the Chinese have always prided themselves on their independence from the rest of the world. They've done a pretty damn good job at it I might add.

hey boot, yes you are correct, but it will probaby result in conflicting matters with units that are more likely to be a true independent, than a unit that is realistically going to be in oppositon.

I do have to say Manzilla you have made the best argument out of them all. It is true that the Chinese's do take pride in their Independence. I can just see maybe some conflicts occurring in mission making in the future.

And I was not aware of fromz and his explanation about the situation, he is the creator of this work, and if he has reason behind it then yes it should stay that way. Thanks for clearing it up.

Yeah I was trying to find it for you, sorry I couldn't post it. Now that I think of it, I believe he posted it in an A1 thread. I wish I could find it. I'll keep looking though.

For sure though, personally when I think of the Chinese that's usually my first thought. Hell, they invented gun powder way before and completely independent of the west. Along with just about everything else. ;)

What does that have to do with the PLA mod? I assume that by saying you want to be aligned with Russia you are meaning the US? That has nothing to do with this mod. You can be aligned with whomever you wish by scripting but the point of this debate was why was PLA released as Independent.

I was actually worried that the PLA would be released as Opfor because I really like the idea of some Russia/Pla conflicts (I'm Amercan, but thats been done to death).

You should leave autoskip enabled. Only disable it to reset skip status if you think your files are not correct/complete.

You can also click Configuration and then Synchronize (under the login fields which you leave empty). Your mod list will synchronize with the server, then you can edit your download profile under Configuration - Presets and add the mod that you want, hit Update and then execute that.

LOL yea..after spending half an hour in the updater trying various options, I manually entered acex_pla to an earlier backup of yml ..

I now have a renamed copy which I added to the commandline so that you wont be able to move it around anymore :p

Meatball: I can just see maybe some conflicts occurring in mission making in the future.

Thats where your wrong. You can -as explained before- with 1 click set them as OPFOR. Or 1 click to set them as BLUFOR. Where is the problem in mission making? Mission making this way makes it easier - dynamic. :)

I am changing my userconfig\ACE\ACE_Tracking to this

// Comment to Disable Group Markers or set to 1 to enable group markers
//MarkersEnabled = 0;

and I am still seeing all of the friendly units markers. I want to only be able to see me and my subordinates. What do I have to do to only be able to see mine and the other units I command?

I just tried all the Chinese units in the editor and I think they're very nice. I really like the weapons, textures and vehicles. The only thing I would point out is the soldiers have very strange looking necks. They're too long and when they turn their heads it looks like their heads are being twisted off.

RobertJ

Dec 26 2009, 01:51

All the Chinese vehicles and weapon textures and models are beautiful however, as stated above, there is some issue with their necks which makes the infantry look like some hybrid of human and E.T.

Apart from that minor problem the entire mod is the best availible for ArmA 2.

Just check back a few pages. There's a few ways to get it explained. I had the same thing happen.

Hmmmm. Was the wounding system fixed? I read that somewhere. I'm wondering what they meant by fixed cause the AI teammates still do not heal other teammates.

My main issue right now is with the rate of fire and burst fire of the A10's cannon. You line yourself up for a fast burst on a target click a little and bullets hit the target and you turn away... And keep spewing bullets all over the place and tk everyone for an eternity before it stops shooting.

Hi

I'd instaled the ACE mod with the lazy method, because Six updater could find the host.
But I guess that is not possible to install extras without acessing the web interface.
Now I am mostly shure that the problem is because my non-english OS.

Found this: http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/six-arma-updater#Non-English-Users
The lazy method configuration files were updated yesterday with ACEX_PLA, and last week with ACEX_SM. Redownload the configuration file. That still only gives you access to ACE related mods, but at least you'll get PLA :p
(six-updater.yml must be placed in other folder than before (http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/six-arma-updater/Six_Updater_Suite#Usage))

Please create a screenshot of the GUI window once the software is running, and attach that incl your logfiles to a ticket (http://dev-heaven.net/projects/six-arma-updater/issues)

Hey I got ACE working fine I just need to know a couple of things

1. How do I intergrate all the weapons and equipment into the briefing screen in Red Harvest. Because it only uses the default weapons and you CANNOT edit your gear in your briefing screen, what you see is what you get. I am assuming there is something you have to add to one of the script files in the mission folder

2. How do you activate all the other in game stuff like wounding system

1. You'd probably have to edit the mission campaign itself, which means playing with original PBO files, and that might not be a good idea..

2. The fancy stuff such as heli crash avoidance, wounding system and other things should be under Modules (F7) in the Editor.

dang nice work and cheers for the PLA goodies.

i was playing around with it today and i noticed for the first time that if you throw a smoke grenade then check the smoke it moves in the direction of the wind when you press shift+K never spotted that before.

allso one thing if i press shift+V to set me scope up when im a sniper with the PLA guns I have no such calibration window.

cheers for mod

edit

hi all again im still getting a very weird problem that is if i tell AI to get out of a vehicle they seem to warp very badly when they move even when they are very close to me there movement seems very jerky has this been discussed befor im sure some one else said about this i know i was moaning about AI warping when looking threw a scope at long range but this is at close rang and when i tell them to get out of a vehilce.

hi again well it seems to be only when you ask them to get out from an air vehicle not land.

As with the previous beta release we have seperated the mod and the rsync files. If you wish to be able to update your ACE mods with the Six Updater you will have to download and add those rsync folders!!
All download pages contain links to the correct rsync folder for that specific package.
Only filefront mirrors for now as we lost one file server due to a hardware failure so later we will be able to add the files to our main file servers.

either you should be able to lasermark the target as gunner or you can lock on a target.

But its not working :(
ACE issues or missing featurs, or arma patch issues?

the FLIR was in Domination i guess. not directly in ACE.
anyway, Xeno could you add FLIR sights to ace maybe? :)

and still the things with the hellfire, in the coop mission: Aircav it was possible to aim them directly or lock on. would be also a cool feature for ACE.

There is no fake FLIR in ACE2. And it won't be, especially with OA not far away, and with proper FLIR implementation.

Also why i cannot use the Hellfires as they should be used?
either you should be able to lasermark the target as gunner or you can lock on a target.

But its not working :(

neither.
Hellfire works fine on my end, ACE 195. It used to be bugged, but it is now fixed in the latest update.

That's a problem with the game engine itself, not ACE related at all. It has been reported many times on dev-heaven (bug reporting website for the game and certain mods).

I'm not sure if it was this issue or another one, but a dev replied to it saying that it's somekind of limitation that they're unable to fix right now.

Can't join any games. Installed 'ace' mod and up to 1.05 patch.

I also see 'ace 2' in server names now and again ,,, Is that another version or something ? I'm getting frustrated. I hate installing mods, thought i'd do this one so i can join my favourite servers but now i can't join sh^t anymore

Mods are ok and all, but if you need to install another mod (or multiple) for every single sever it will REALLY thin out the playerbase .

Hi folks! Imagine what, I cannot install ACE2 mod!!!!
That crappy updater v0.4.1 refuses to work at all and the developer site seems built to be read only by programmers or IT specialist. I cannot understand a single word. Any video or instruction posted anywhere presumes that the Six updater works, that is precisely my problem, infact:

When I use the GUI, I got this message: ERROR: NO MIGRATION WITH VERSION NUMBER 2

Six updater site tells: If it doesn't please try surfing to: http://localhost:16333 or http://127.0.0.1:16333 ... too bad that both links are broken.

Using the CONSOLE presume you have a cfg file that is created by using the the GUI... are we are again, it doesn't work! And there isn't any copy of that cfg file in the Dev site!

Now, what am I supposed to do with the 600MB 7Z file of the ACE mod? Why the hell didn't they used the good old, simple method? Is it too simple for you guys? Big downloads are not a problem for us, remember we got through FFAR mod, ECP, LIBERATION 41-45, FDFmod, Pedagne mod, etc.... a new bunch of GB to download will not scare anyone.

Dec 26 2009, 17:49

For those with database/migration issues, please uninstall the software, make sure you remove the configuration files (http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/six-arma-updater/Six_Updater_Suite#Uninstall).
Then reinstall the new 0.4.2 setup (http://dev-heaven.net/projects/list_files/six-arma-updater)

Exactly same problem here. Reinstall did nothing. Was running good until last update of six-updater.

Its not that hard... But I would guess that sooner or later, we'll see a single file .exe that install all mod files, the updater and preset it? That shouldnt be too much work I think.

I havent experienced any of these issues myself but at a glance its quite obvious that the first step (ie basic download of the mod) really should be easier or ACE will loose out on players. And that's not good for any of us.

I don't think that anybody here will explain again why we are using SIX-Updater, specially during beta phase (which still isn't over yet).

There are enough other methods to get ACE 2. If someone isn't able to invest a few minutes to get things sorted and only comes here to write crap then he won't get any support. It's easy as that.

And as you can see, Sickboy is allmost 24/7 here in BIF and tries to fix problems related to the updater and helps where he can.

I'm not complaining about it, I think its a great and fast way of handling the mod. Its the only reason why I've been able to keep up with updating (and unfortnutely the same reason why I often get mismatched versions, lol).

Sickboy is doing an excellent job too, I dont think I've quite seen so much dedication to a mod thread.

So who had the wonderful idea of making the tusk armor even stronger ? Not trying to disrespect the creators, the mod is awesome, but cmon, didnt ace claim to bring balance ? You just made it even worse so far. I rather have ka's 1 shooting armors from 6 km away like in vanilla then hitting a tusk with 2 metis and 4 rpg7 and they are not even disabled, 4 vhkr hits to kill a tusk, really ?! t90 vs tusk battles are also pretty pathetic now and lets not even talk about giving so many new toys to blufor while giving pretty much nothing to opfor, besides a nerfed metis. Will we ever see any balance in ace or this is how its gonna be ?

If you are having technical problems running six-updater on your PC, you can try the alternative method of updating/installing ACE mod using Yoma AddonSync and our YAS ACE repository.
Please note that even though we provide an alternative update method, six-updater is the official update tool & method and we recommend you to take the time to solve related issues & report bugs.

I don't know if this is a genuine problem or not, but for some reason I don't have an aiming reticule in-game anymore. So the only way to aim is by looking down the sights/ through the scope. It also means that I can't move the reticule over other units to see who they are (really annoying when playing medic).

I understand if this is part of the ACE mod for the purposes of realism, but I seem to gather from other players online that they do have an aiming reticule. Is there any way to fix this problem.

N.B When I play without the ACE mod I do have an aiming reticule, so I doubt it's anything to do with my personal game settings.

Hi everyone!

So who had the wonderful idea of making the tusk armor even stronger ? Not trying to disrespect the creators, the mod is awesome, but cmon, didnt ace claim to bring balance ? You just made it even worse so far. I rather have ka's 1 shooting armors from 6 km away like in vanilla then hitting a tusk with 2 metis and 4 rpg7 and they are not even disabled, 4 vhkr hits to kill a tusk, really ?! t90 vs tusk battles are also pretty pathetic now and lets not even talk about giving so many new toys to blufor while giving pretty much nothing to opfor, besides a nerfed metis. Will we ever see any balance in ace or this is how its gonna be ?

It's true, that ACE 2 has some disbalance behind Opfor and Blufor. Playing Warfare, for example, M1A1 and M1A2 Tusk have very big advantages in armor. In this case, 4 or 5 M1A1 tanks can eliminate everything on there way. ACE 2, without doubts, excellent mod, but this disbalance brings many inconveniences...

@<hidden>:
We are working very hard on the armor situation as already answered in many tickets about the issues.
On the road towards 1.00 we hope to resolve them.
In case of armor, we will not balance too much, but reported bugs, and missing (system) damage scripts etc, do make it unfair.

Please, setup tickets with your issues, or wait patiently while we are sorting everything out.

@<hidden> model requests;
Our modelers work on what they prefer, if that'll be other kind of gear at some point; who knows.
Otherwise, welcome to create models or point us to existing ones, so we can try a permission request instead :)

can someone tell me how to make a glowstick emit light

I can only make them green in the dark when I spawn them in a weaponsholder

this is what I use "ACE_Knicklicht_G_Used" but they do not emit light like when you throw them or use them.

Can someone tell me what I need to use?

are you trying to be funny or what? Please do an effort to read after you ask a question that i have already answered like just below your post:

ACE_Knicklicht_Object_R / G / W / Y / B / IR
ACE_Knicklicht_Object_R_I / G_I / W_I / Y_I / B_I / IR_I

You attitude an others is that you want to be spoon fed information.
No one will send you a PM just to answer your questions. Most of the question have already been answer a gazilaon time, the answers are available on the biki, on dev-heaven, in ACE thread, all you need to do is show some interest and common sense yourselves.

Should i point again this is delivered to you FREE? Could anyone say there is no interest on our part to answer your questions? Sickboy alone has spent his holidays and birthday plus a number of other hours daily just to do that. And the result is that you are either whining, or making demands, or never read back or use the search function...What should one believe of that? Or do?

You only need to be concerned with vanilla since there are no beta patches for Arma 2 at the moment. Everyone is using 1.05. So download vanilla.

Hello everybody,

at first a great thank you to all the developers for their effort and thousands of hours they spend to provide fun to us. But since the pla Modfolder has added I am no more able to update to the latest versions. I installed the 4.1 version and got the problem that the DOS window appears and disappears a few seconds later without doing anythings.

Sickboy posted about that Problem and announced the 4.2 version of six updater. I installed this but the problem still persists. I dont know what I am doing wrong. I installed by executing as administartor and executing the updater as admin as well...without any success. I dont know how to handle that problem cause I dont know what sort of problem it is. Are there some more information around there about that special problem?

My sytem config:
AMD PhenomII X2 550@<hidden>,1Ghz nonoc
HD3850 512MB
4 GB DDR2Ram @<hidden>
Win7 Premium 64Bit

Edit:

this is a screenshot of the DOS window right in the second when it disappears.

The funny thing is that it says that theres no such file in C:\... but I havent installed in in that path (even when I did, same problem appears as well).

Sorry if it has been said before :
It looks like a machinegunner can't run 100 m without the black out, faint or fall on the ground breathing loudly.

I never ran with a 12.5 Kg MG, but it seems a little bit too much. Soldiers are not that weak.
Except that you're not running with 12.5kg... An M240/M60 with respectable amount of ammo (ie you dont run out within 5 minutes) will net you like 50kg+. Which is very heavy indeed... If you're only carrying the machinegun and a couple of boxes and let someone else carry the rest of the ammo, you're gonna be just as quick as the rest. But of course this doesnt happen in your average game, need some more serious teamwork to have ammo boys.

If you want to go solo with a machinegun in ACE, pack an M249, MG36 or Para. They go up to around 30kg, much more tolerable in terms of stamina.

So I followed the lazy method to the "T" This method worked for me before the @<hidden>, and @<hidden> came out. But now the Six Updater console opens for a second says something on the top of the window, but it closes to fast to read. From some\(little) DOS experience I've had, it's usually something wrong with a command line, but I don't know. Did alot of reading trying to figure it out, but all I could find is the Lazy method, and "" Or if you prefer the console: (Requires six-updater.yml configuration file, either from 'lazy method', or after once web-client, main, "execute" or "save" Without Autoskip) "" . Says their the lazy method works with out the web-client, worked before. I followed it to the exact instructions, and used the six-updater.yml supplied on the page for Arma Vanilla. Any else one try the lazy method? Or can help please! Can't get in multiplayer Ace2 with out it, and that would be very bad for me!

One other thing, the old Six Updater, was replaced with the current 0.4.4.....The old one worked fine. Could some one get it to me? That may worked, or some thing over looked in the new updater for web client issues?

And I noticed the new "" Default location: C:\users\{username}\appdata\roaming\Six-Updater the .yml "" that the six-updater.yml, and latest Milestone release (".7zipped modfolders") go in to so thats not it..
The only thing I can think of is, I did not delete the old appdata\roaming\Six-Updater folder from the previous updater. I think the new updater installer would over write anything in their>

Yesterday I updated to beta 2, also I downloaded the ACEX_PLA and the ACEX_SM and installed them, but both the SM and the PLA can not be used. I do not see the extra units and the sound has not changed at all.
I tried to delete he all ACE files and the updater, and install it again but with the same result.For the record, I added SM and PLA to the shortcut and I have the newest Six Updater. Pls help me, I do not know what to do anymore...

PS: In the main menu the version it shows is 0.1.195
PS 2: Shall I add the logs?

Try launching the game from the updater using the Install Or Update and Startgame action and see if that helps.

Except that you're not running with 12.5kg... An M240/M60 with respectable amount of ammo (ie you dont run out within 5 minutes) will net you like 50kg+. Which is very heavy indeed... If you're only carrying the machinegun and a couple of boxes and let someone else carry the rest of the ammo, you're gonna be just as quick as the rest. But of course this doesnt happen in your average game, need some more serious teamwork to have ammo boys.

If you want to go solo with a machinegun in ACE, pack an M249, MG36 or Para. They go up to around 30kg, much more tolerable in terms of stamina.

Thanks for your answer. I get it now.

Will throw out some boxes when running time comes. :D

Urhhhh, Help! :(

Ran the updater to the letter and everything seemed to download fine, no errors or anything, however when loading the game it gives me this message:

Addon 'Extended_EventHandlers' requires addon 'CAData

I hit OK and the game loads but it has missing textures and the screen is messed as if something didn't load. I then tried running the game through the updater but the same thing happens. Someone asked about this earlier in the post but didn't get a reply, any help is appreciated.

Uhm I have a problem, everytime I try to start Arma 2 this message comes up

"Include file userconfig\ace\ace_clientside_config.hpp not found."

But everytime I look in said file, I see it right there plain as day. So why isn't ACE2 starting and why am i getting this message?

Hmmm. Open up the old thread and do a thread search, I believe there's an answer there for you. It may be in the FAQ on the DH site as well. I'm pretty sure this problem has been discussed in the past, can't remember the solution though.

Did you try to run the updater again. It sounds like a file is missing or corrupted. Not sure what else it could be.

IIRC the userconfig folder is in the ACE folder after the first download, put it in your main arma folder and you should be fine. IIRC, that is...:o

The updater put in

* @<hidden>
* @<hidden>
* @<hidden>
* @<hidden>

All of them folders are in the arma 2 directory, I'm at a loss on how to fix it.

EDIT: Tried deleting the @<hidden> and re downloaded it but same error message comes up.

Which updater? The updater most of us use to DL the Mod and keep up to date. Check the first post if you don't know what I'm talking about.

Can you confirm the location of the ace_clientside_config.hpp. Are you looking at the .hpp file in the @<hidden> folder? Or the other location?(The userconfig folder in the main A2 directory.) As snakedoctor34 there's two of them.

Double check -mod= parameter if you have issues to find ACE addons ingame: http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/ace-mod2

The updater put in
* @<hidden>
* @<hidden>
* @<hidden>
* @<hidden>
* @<hidden>

EDIT: Tried deleting the @<hidden> and re downloaded it but same error message comes up.

The issue seems to be that it cannot find the default addon that defines CAData. This is ca.pbo located in the ArmA 2\Addons folder.
Either your "Start in" setting of your shortcut is invalid, or the mentioned file is missing or corrupt, please restore the proper version in that case.
If still issues please http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/ace-mod2/Bugz

Sickboy,

I have a problem... Updater v0.4.1 works 1-2 sec. and closes... why so? :(

0.4.5. - problem persists... Where can I download the old version? 0.3.5?

This question has probably been asked and answered 100 times before - sorry if it has!

Will the HK416/417 / Scar's and the rest of the weapons from Ace1 be ported over to Ace2?

Sorry again if it's been asked before :o

*PS* Love the mod, keep up the excellent work!

Too broad a question as you framed it to answer properly.

But HK's are on the way - new models.

The old version would upgrade to the new, better we find the issue and resolve it ;)

Don't use that one, use A.C.E. Mod preset.
Since the official ArmA 2 1.05 is out, better to use that than 1.04/5 beta :P

I thought the exact same thing at first. But after the initial small learning curve, it's clearly a great little tool.

Use the first one, the one that's already highlighted in that picture. Then hit execute right below that.

Fixed it, it was indeed missing the default Addon directory, on reflection I must of deleted it when un-installing a sound mod. Reinstalled the full game and now it works fine, thanks.

Yes, it has been asked before, so instead of excusing yourself, you could have searched.

Answer:
HK family - YES, in the future
SCAR family - NO, but will come with OA

Hi guys!

Let me also tell you, that this mod is phenomenal. Great job!

I've just updated to the v195, and still having two minor glitches:

1. The tail rotor still not slicing me up. Actually it does no damage at all to any infantry.
2. The IR strobes can't be seen on the HuntIR monitor in any mode.

Please'll show how to add a second weapon at the back of the player in the editor? :bounce3:

API function for that is being worked on and will be documented probably this week.

Oh .. thanks! It will wait for solutions to my problem! :thanx:

Having a strange problem since last update.
getting kicked from our server for wrong signature files
for CBA common and arrays pbo's.
Now I know server files are up to date and I know Im up
to date, after countless deletions and re-installs.
has anyone come across this problem and is there a solution?Check and make sure the server has the new key files that were issued with the beta2 release of ACE2 in it's ...\ArmA 2\Keys folder

They new ones are "CBA_Test2.bikey", "ACE_Test2.bikey", "ACEX_Test2.bikey", ""ACEX_PLA_Test2.bikey" and "ACEX_SM_Test2.bikey", whereas the old ones were called "*_Test.bikey"

@<hidden>

thanks, but the provided link (Version 4.5) hasent changed anythings, still the same issue persists

But I figured somethings out with my Problem. As my screenshot (http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=1526091&postcount=191)says so a Errormessage (or whatever it soposed to be) appears: Errno:ENOENT. This is visible in the quite small part of a second where the three lines are visible in the disappearing DOS Window. Googling for it told me a lot of crap I dont understand cause it has somethings to do with servers and clients and other crap..:confused::confused:..

May be one of you guys have an idea what it is soposed to be.

EDIT:
Creating a new ticket don´t (yet) make any sense cause I dont have any Configuration files not speaking of logfiles. I checked the path where they actually should be located, but I dont have such a file in my AppData/Roaming directory. So the whole Installation process seems to be wrong. Any Ideas about that?

EDIT2:
I renamed my Computer to a Name without a Space and without ö. But problem still persisits. Six-updater Folder will still not beeing created in AppData/Roaming directory.
