sickboy 13 Posted May 19, 2012 Perhaps you've missed that you need to have all the CBA modfolders active for CO etc? Please refer to the readme. If the game doesn't start anymore when you're not using a -mod= startup parameter, then that's because of limitations when using the ingame mod-manager - you'll have to clear your arma2oaprofile from mods, or add the required ones. As workaround you can use -mod= in startup params or use a launcher. I think there's plenty of threads/posts about that in the ARMA2 Troubleshooting section.

Jastreb 69 Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) -Psycho-;2152298']If you use latest cba from SU your startparameters have to look following:-mod=@cba;@cba_a2;@cba_oa; ...... Also the needed serverkeys (included in cba dl) must be present in the "keys" folder on server side. If you did that and you use the same cba version on client side all work fine. If not the bug is in front of your keyboard. ;) regards Well I tried both, the latest stable with only CBA in mods as you can see above and I tried latest dev build with CBA CBA_A2 and CBA_OA. None of them worked. If I dont turn CBA_A2 and OA it complains on start how it cant find CBA_A2 (or OA ) XEH if I do then it complains about conflicting addons, which would be as I recall CBA_UI helper in CBA_A2 and CBA_OA. Im just out of ideas here. You said to place CBA keys is server keys folder, so I wonder if I did it right now. Will that be in the @CBA folder keys or in the server root keys pr expansion/keys? Its annoying how nothing is explained and you have to hunt information around. Edited May 19, 2012 by _MaSSive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simple modfolder method - it's the same method since almost 11 years. What for informations you have to hunt? C&P the .bikey from every cba folder in the keys folder in CO main dir. Show a screenshoot from your mainfolder which show the included modfolders and the content of keys folder. Also your complete start command line.

It might be easy for someone who is longer in this but for someone who is just starting information is scattered aroun the net and you have to pickup pieces around. At least thats how I did it, to make it to setup everything. Now my server directory looks like this. 2302.pid @balkan_war_mod @ibr_dtowns player 2302.run ban.txt @ibr_plants readme_oa.txt @ace battleye @ibr_rn readme.txt @acex @brg_africa install server @acex_ru @cba @isla_duala server_console.log @acex_usnavy @cba_a2 @jayarma2lib_new tmp2302 @acre @cba_oa keys tolower addons checkfilelist.lst lang.ini tolower.c arma2_manual.pdf common log.2302.txt @torabora arma2oa.cfg dll logo-paul.bmp userconfig arma2oa_manual.pdf dooacsconfig.sqf mainserver1.cfg @vilas_aks arma2oaserver dta missions @vilas_wwp @asr_ai expansion mpmissions @balkan @fallujah @panthera I copied all that from my home PC which has CO installed ( from gamersgate ) patched to 1.6 beta. Downloaded Linux Server beta 1.60.92364 and did as instructed. Then gathered info on how to configure it. Server.cfg network tuning, security, BE rcon etc. So if CBA keys are not in arma2server/keys CBA will not work? Why is it complaining that its missing XEH if it will work but you will not be able to connect? Also I have Dooacs and some PvP addons ( disable stock OA/A2 missions and some others ) and DooACS requires CBA but its not reporting that its missing, although I cant see if it works or not. Ill try placing CBA keys in server directory/keys and Ill report back. Also I dont know where server rpt file should be I cant find it. Edit: Here are the keys I have on server.

eaglezero6205 10 Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) I personally think CBA needs to be brought up to date,to work without throwing errors as almost all mods rely on this and it seems to me that its starting to become somewhat of a problem. Fact stated if Mod makers can put time into making a mod work for the Community without errors then surely the Foundation of Arma2 and Arma2 Co mod Gaming can be at the very least kept up with to not throw errors. Ive up until now never once had an issue launching OA by itself without mods. And never once did it require CBA till the last update. Ive been running sixupdater for many months with CBA constantly saying CBA mismatch When I join with ACE or if other people join with ACE. Its very concerning to me that the Very Foundation of Mod gaming isn't being kept tidy knowing that almost all mods are built to work or rely on CBA. Up until now i never had a problem and now I'm being told that the way I have things set up is the problem. I don't know about all that. In al,l I appreciate all the hard work that has gone into ACE and many other mods,along with the Strong foundation CBA did have to stay up to date without errors but it wouldn't be giving people all these problems with launching the game and errors in game if it was kept up to be a bit more reliable with today's mods. As for the launcher thing I either use Sixupdater or I use Arma2 Launcher I hate using Arma2 launcher nowadays however because of random game crashing with the Error--------> "Arma2 Reinforcements has encountered a problem and need to close." In regards to setup for launching my game Ive kept the same setup for a few years now and it has stayed the same but CBA has been updated a few times and I stick to my guns that all was well with launching stock OA without a launcher or requirement for CBA till the last update of ACE and CBA which now requires not just CBA but 2 more CBA types to be loaded. When I don't get that problem I get the XEH not found problem. I will say no more and eagerly await a fix for this problem so that CBA is not required to launch Stock OA. Thanks for listening to the feedback from your users and I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT HAS GONE INTO THIS THUS FAR. Just have really had my share of the errors and believe its time to get to the bottom of this. Either way the Cookie Crumbles You guys are amazing at this stuff so Im sure youll eventually get it cleared up,Im not stepping on anyones feet here. Good luck with fixing the issues.

NoRailgunner 0 Posted May 20, 2012 CBA is not required to start A2OA. Check your launcher setup/presets. Btw there is a possibility to (re-) start A2OA with addons/mods just with vanilla A2OA - check/uncheck addons or mods in "Expansion" menu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sickboy 13 Posted May 20, 2012 @Eaglezero6205: Not sure what you are on about. CBA should work flawless without any errors. If there are errors to report, please create a bug report with details like the rpt file, error message etc; https://dev-heaven.net/projects/cca/issues and we will take care of it ASAP. CBA version mismatch is not an error, its at best a warning, and it should be correct. Keeping servers up2date is not our responsibility. As to startup problems, requirements simply have changed a few weeks ago, readme updated, and you need to adjust your launch methods for it, unless if you use SU since that takes care of everything automatically. Please refer to my earlier post about the limitations of the ingame mod manager (out of our control!), and how to workaround or resolve. Lastly, let me stress again, if there are actual issues, please report them with details incl the RPT file to the Issue Tracker and we will dispatch a fix ASAP. Feedback is welcome there too.

chosen1 1 Posted June 4, 2012 Sorry, FNG here, do I put the @CBA folder in my arma 2 folder if I have combined ops? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackenedZ 1 Posted June 12, 2012 Not sure if this belongs here, but I've spent the last couple of days spending most of my free time looking for a solution to my problem(s). I purchased Combined Operations from Steam, with the intent to play the game (both Arma 2 and OA content) with the ACE mod (not DayZ like everyone else). Using Six Updater, I was able to download and install ACE which automatically installs @CBA, @CBA_A2, and @CBA_OA. Other forums, such as steampowered.com, have said if you have CO to NOT install @CBA_OA. After reading the CBA readme, it says otherwise. I'm also running the beta patch. Using Six Updater to launch the game, everything appears to work fine until I enter any mission. Most of my issues are problems with the HUD. Compared to the vanilla version, I'm missing the bullets and magazines remaining indicator, zeroing indicator, the radar at the top left corner of the screen, the targeting reticle (and therefore the steering wheel and gun-swap icons), as well as any range display. Trying to play through the Boot Camp missions to get a feel for the game, there has also been errors (ex. no CLU for Javelin during the Firing Range training, hell-fire missles not following lased target in UAV mission, etc), but I would be fine with them if I just had the HUD functionality. I don't know if this is a CBA or ACE problem, but it is definitely one of the two. I've searched for these specific problems and it appears they are uncommon because I can't find anything on it. I don't know where to begin as I have the updated version of all the mods, the beta patch, i've run Arma 2, then OA, then CO after re-validating game caches, and i'm still missing my reticle. Any help is much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anthead 1 Posted June 21, 2012 Other forums, such as steampowered.com, have said if you have CO to NOT install @CBA_OA. After reading the CBA readme, it says otherwise.Trying to play through the Boot Camp missions to get a feel for the game, there has also been errors (ex. no CLU for Javelin during the Firing Range training, hell-fire missles not following lased target in UAV mission, etc), but I would be fine with them if I just had the HUD functionality. Hey BlackendZ, I also got Combined ops from steam and installed ACE and CBA, the problems you describe are in some way not real problems but features of ACE as far as I understand it. The missing range indication, crosshair, bullets and magazines add to the realism and that is what ACE aims for. Took me quite some time to figure out how to handle the javlin with ACE as you need to have the javlin and the clu in your inventory, if you select the javlin you then need to activate/reloade it with the clu. I tested most of this in the editor as I also encounter problems in the bootcamp missions. For instance the helicopter mission is more or less done by itself as it seams that with ace the targets that need to be destroyed with rockets or guided missiles are missing. Regarding CBA, I run Combined ops now with the following start parameters as only CBA wont work for me: -mod=@cba;@cba_A2;@cba_OA;@ACE;@ACEX;@ACEX_USNavy;@ACEX_RU; If I only use cba (without cba_A2 or cba_OA) Combined ops wont start and gives me two error messages (cba_main needs cba_helper or something like that).
