ACE 1.6 (Advanced Combat Enviroment) for OA/CO

[harkkam08 10]

Guys Im having a bit of trouble with the AI.

When I was using ACE mod with just OA Standalone the AI would shoot back from below, meaning I had setup a group of tanks on a runway and then on some mountains close by a single guy, me. This was in Takistan. The second I fired a few rounds the tanks would start shooting at my position and supress me behind rocks and proceed to chase me and come toward me.

However now I have CO, I have arma 2 and operation arrowhead and in the same exact scenario with the same exact mods working, the tank will not shoot into the mountains. I can fire at it as many times as I want. Only when I get really close to it does it start shooting at me.

I thought the unit was getting stuck in stealth mode so I made a waypoint and set it to COMBAT. However that didnt help

Are my units in the CO ACE getting stuck in stealth mode.

Guys BTW i just tested it with a group on enemy men and they DO fire at me and chase me but I cant get the tanks to fire on me with CO, but they did in OA.

However the enemy AI will engage my tanks on the hill next to me. But they just wont shoot at me when I am alone no matter what I do, even if I shoot a javlin at it.

Thanks guys really appreciate the help

NVGs can't be used with binoculars [VKing]

So with this change, how to use binoculars/rangefinder/etc with NVGs?

Thanks.

[VKing 12]

You can't, that's the point.

Thanks.

Find one that has NVG module. Like

http://browser.dev-heaven.net/cfg_weapons/config/Binocular_Vector

http://browser.dev-heaven.net/cfg_weapons/show/803191

And use switch optic mode (default numpad /).

Or use a weapon with NVG.

Um guys I am having a major problem with a mission I made using ACE, I am making a mission based on several customized ACM modules, and I have all the ACE ammoboxes and stufff in the base, with soldiers with animations on them, now when I start the mission, it is all screwed up, right off the bat the self interation menu and ACE wounds and ACE rucks don't work at all, and I have updated my config, when I play online or even other single player missions, it is all fine and works properly, now I have put alot of effort into this mission so it is annoying that it isn't working as to plan, I am using these modules:

- ACE AI talk

- ACE wounds

- ambient animals, cars and civs (expansion)

- ACM

- Functions Module

- Simple Support Module

- UAV Module

EDIT: Also the only other mod I am using outside of ACE is zcommon_ace, and I have these files in my mission folder:

- Folder "ACM_init" with these .sqf files

- BIS_ACM1.sqf

- BIS_ACM2.sqf

- BIS_ACM3.sqf

- BIS_ACM4.sqf (All custom ACM with changed variables

And these in mission root folder

- init.sqf

- briefing.sqf

- briefing.html

- description.ext

- mission.sqm

Would you know if anything is causing my problem?

Also deafening isn't working (even as US army regaular w/o earplugs.

Ticket with rpt, repro, mission etc, please. http://ace.dev-heaven.net/wagn/Bug_Reporting

(We might plan a hotfix release soon, so sooner rather than later is advised)

Do you start the game with -showScriptErrors ? If not, i'd start there :)

Edited December 4, 2010 by Sickboy

[Militant1006 11]

Ok thanks, I will try that, it is really confusing to me at the moment, also I am noob with rpt's, I don't know what they are.

EDIT: Ok, I did get an error when I went into gear, it involved ace_sys_ruck_ifak_once, is there a way to copy and paste the error?

Recommending to use -showScriptErrors startup parameter and perhaps checking the open tickets on our tracker, chances are the cause of your problems is already on there, and perhaps even fixed. Tickets that are fixed often also contain fixed archives for test and confirmation.

Just create a ticket with your RPT, and preferably the mission.

Edited December 4, 2010 by Sickboy

[Militant1006 11]

Ok, I know about where RPT's are now, and what they do, one thing I must say though, I did not experience a crash, and from what I read, it seemed as though RPT sort of "recorded" crashes.

if you PM me your email I will send you my mission folder.

[sickboy 13]

Sorry to perhaps sound repetitive, but can you just create a ticket with your rpt and the mission, so we can sort this out asap?

Thanks. You've got a few bugs in your mission; http://dev-heaven.net/issues/15615

Thanks, Vector21B has NVG. Seems like thats the only binocular with NVG, SOFLAM, binoculars or MX-2A doesn't have it...

It seems like there is something messed up with the Six Updater.

When i try to start, i´ve got the Message that the File "msvcrt-ruby18.dll" is missing.

I´ve de- and reinstalled the Six Updater, but the Problem still exists.

I don't get that. I'[m using it right now. Are you using the most recent version?

confirmed, exactly the same here (win xp 32)

won't reinstall because humvee reports useless to reinstall ... will wait for an ACE-Dev-statement ... ;)

[AnimalMother92 10]

It's known, just ignore it for now. Only happens with the GUI afaik

[avengerzx 10]

Wow, I'm still updating Update 3 from YAS

By the way, how to I flip the Grenade Launcher Sights?

[humvee28 10]

Used it all the time before and it has worked fine...

I´ve started the Programm 5 Minutes ago and it seems to be working as usual.

But after the internal Programm Updates ( the black DOS Window) are finished, the Error

Message appears on the Screen. I don´t have a clue what is going on here.:confused:
