CBA: Community Base Addons for A2, OA and CO

[Killswitch]

Current version: 1.0.1pre2 (build 196)

This release is intended for users of all three variations of Arma 2 - the original ArmA 2, ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead and ArmA 2: Combined Operations.
Now comes in only one mod folder, @CBA_CO. You no longer need to load up to three different mod folders.

Just load @CBA_CO

Key Changes

• 1.0.1 requires ArmA II 1.62 beta build 100697 or later. (Get the latest ArmA II betas from here)
• This means that on Linux dedicated servers, you must copy the addons and dta beta game data folders from Expansion/beta/Expansion on your Windows computer into expansion/beta/expansion on the Linux server and edit the start script (arma2oaserver) to look something like this:
  

  OTHERPARAMS='-cpucount=2 -beta=expansion/beta;expansion/beta/expansion -mod=@cba_co;@other;@mods;@go;@here'

Download

The addons, manual, functions reference and complete sources are included in the release.

See here (Download page)

• CBA_CO_v1.0.1pre2.zip
• CBA_CO_v1.0.1pre2.7z

Important:
If you play with the current, official, non-beta ArmA II OA/CO 1.62 patch, you must use the previous 1.0.0 version:

• CBA_v1.0.0pre10.zip
• CBA_v1.0.0pre10.7z

This version still needs you to load at least two and possibly three mod folders:

• ArmA II:

  -mod=@CBA;@CBA_A2

• ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead

  -mod=@CBA;@CBA_OA

• ArmA II: Combined Operations

  -mod=@CBA;@CBA_A2;@CBA_OA

FIXED: High Command missions would give the HC commander control of units outside his assigned command hiearchy.

So this was causing that. I couldn't figure out which mod was doing it, if any at all. I kinda thought it was a problem that popped up with the release of OA.

I found a work around but it's nice to know I can change it.

Thank you.

EDIT:

Just removed the workaround(an extra Subordinate Module sync'd only to an existing Sub Module) and everything worked!

Thanks Killswitch!

Maybe this was why every time I play OA combined with Ace online I got a timeout then eventually crash to desktop, will check it out thanks.

If your timeout problems happen when you access an ammobox (gear dialog) then it is related to a bug in OA 1.52. It's fixed in the OA beta patches.

CA_Modules_Alice2? Missing? I'm getting an error msg with the new version about EEH requiring this.
Thanks.

are you running combined operations or just oa

I have CO, but only launching A2 from a launcher. I had the previous version of CBA and all was working well. I dl the latest and placed only the @cba (letting it over-write) from the archive and now get the error msg I mentioned.

Hey guys!

I'm getting an error when playing my self created little test missions. I will see if its also on SP / MP games.

"CBA seems to be installed, something seems to be wrong with XEH ... Contact authors" Something like that.
