hope this helps you in someway. the order of loading is very important. misc addons first. then lands. then ACE. then BIS products.

Thanks, I´ll try to sort my stuff this way.

I have run TOH with just the ACE, from the Sixupdater, and uploaded the .rpt here: http://shortText.com/KftmHnO <- I ran the game, entered the Editor, drove around in a couple of tanks and shot at other tanks for a couple of minutes, then left the game again via alt-F4.

And some screenshots showing graphics aberrations that only seem to appear with Ace running here (this a problem with my rig?): http://imgur.com/R3Nc9,phiTN,PNh6D,ZmTcR,ic2qw

I am attempting to use SpiritedMachine's launcher with TOH + Mods.
My games are bought from Steam and own A2, A2OA, Hinds DLC. OA is with ACR Lite DLC. Following the instructions on this thread, i have started Steam as admin and launched each game before launching with mods. I have also verified integrity for each game prior to launching via Steam.

I am following Heliman's instructions for using SpiritedMachines launcher in this post:
http://forums.bistudio.com/showthrea...=1#post2231022

The game runs mostly fine, but i get the following error messages at launch:

Popup error message before load: Addon 'ace_anims_reload' requires addon 'CAWeapons_BAF'
In-game error message after load: Cannot load texture ca\ui\data\compass_emisive_ca.paa or Error: creating weapon M621 with scope=private

ACR messages also don't show up like usual, and I don't hear explosions when M203 rounds explode near me. I do hear shrapnel pinging around.

Am I missing a folder from A2 or OA that needs to be loaded as a mod so that the lite DLC are included, or are the mods being loaded in the wrong order?

The launcher is doing:
"-mod=@airhead_toh;@acex;@acex_ru;@acex_usnavy;@acex _sm;@ace;c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2;c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\expansion;c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\take on helicopters;noisecontrollers;rearmed;hinds;@cba_to h;@cba;@cba_oa;@cba_a2" -nosplash -noPause -world=empty

I would use SIX but it's not playing nicely, code appears on the screen in-game when i launch TOH with CBA/ACE/beta in SIX.

Would appreciate any help, thanks.

I found with the error messages I was getting while running with a sixupdater shortcut what worked for me in the end was I used sixupdater to download any mods then deleted my TKOH profile in my documents and ran the game through the vanilla exe in the TKOH folder. Once in I manually added the mods I wanted and restarted. ACE doesn't have anymore error messages at all.
