Great news, great mod!

My favorite 2 mods now together

**sarge4267** · Jul 26 2012, 17:54

I would love to give your mod a try but when I load it I get this error message "Include file @COWarMod\addons\SLX.hpp not found"

I get the same error message when I tried to play, I checked the folder and the file is there, and both keys and userconfig folder are present. Does it make a difference if its in the operation arrowhead directory as that is where all my other mods are installed?

**RudyFaasse** · Jul 26 2012, 20:37

I also get this error.

checked the map files and it is really there.

**Günter Severloh** · Jul 26 2012, 21:24

Hey guys, thanks for your replies and reports.

Heres what the issue is 3 files that require the Hpp are:
SLX_ace_fixes
SLX_aiskill
SLX_anim_swim

remove those 3 and the problem will stop.

The real issue is I forgot about this, again

so heres what happened in those 3 files theres a config, in the config there is this line:
#include "\@COWarMod\addons\SLX.hpp"

see what the line says.

well when i update it and make it say :

#include "\@COWarModACE\addons\SLX.hpp"

Its not the hpp that matters, you all should have the hpp, but the configs in those 3 files are looking for the hpp in the
@CoWarMod addons folder and not the current folder which is @COWarModACE addons folder.
Understand?

Patch
Heres a fix for the 3 files if you wish to keep them:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/42601124/COW...%20v%201.1.rar

Sorry for the inconvenience guys, I did not get this error when i tested the mod.

Any more reports, feedback ect,. please report.

edit=============

I had sent the patch to Armaholic as well so hopefully everyone that downloads the mod has enough sense
to come to the thread here and see the discussion and report and link.

Well I imagine if you already have COWarMod installed in that directory, it would probably work fine.

No big deal. Can't wait to try this!

**Günter Severloh** · Jul 26 2012, 22:33

It really wouldn't make a difference as I had launched the game with:
E:\Games\Arma2\arma2oa.exe -nosplash -mod=@CBA;@CBA_A2;@CBA_OA;@COWarModACE;@ACE
So Im maybe not getting how the error did not come up for me, same thing happened with CoWarMod Full v 1.2.

Whats dum is I had completely overlooked and really forgot about this small issue that i had just fixed in COWarMod Full v 1.2
seriously WTF must be the dam hot weather here, anyways either remove the 3 files or use the patch its a simple fix.

I'm still awaiting those reports of features not working correctly that I have not tested, and I test jsut about everything in the mod, but as i said in the WIP
thread I normally dont play with ACE and for those that do regularly, would know the mod better then me those are the players I am waiting for
to report something they find are conflicting.

The reports Im expecting probably will be an ingame feature not working or some gameplay anomaly as for me at least other then that error you
guys reported the hpp, there were no other errors popping up.

There are noted in the readme Known Bugs of conflicts, and or bugs I had listed that are in the COWarMod mod itself, so if apon viewing
that readme and you see those files listed in your addons folder then you should see the issues arise ingame and mostly in the RPT, so its up to
you if you want to use those files, just keep in mind as most of you already know that the mod is customizable.

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=17277

Any issues with the patch let me know asap, and also anything with the mod please report so we can fix, or update where necessary

**sarge4267** · Jul 27 2012, 11:30

Thanks for the patch.
It now works

**Salvatore_Lee** · Jul 29 2012, 10:54

Heya, I am kinda new to this and I was wondering: Is there any way how to turn off the All-round defense? Everytime I peek left (the Q button), my character does the animation which is very distracting

Or can I just take out the ard.pbo?
