New try :)

Just a headsup regarding the CBA readme (again).

Its still referring to CBA_A2 for Arma 2 standalone, but that folder is not included in this CBA release.

I understand the Arma 2 ACE version is not suported but by keeping this reference in your readme everytime you create a lot of confusion, specially is Arma 2 only users download the Arma 2 ACE2 version and than try the CBA.

Thanks FoxHound, ACE and CBA are two seperate entities though.

Here's the 0.7.0 release of CBA_A2; http://www.multiupload.com/2GM824JKVC

Official CBA release is now available as well; http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?p=1784933#post1784933

thanks, the best ace we ever had...

special thanks for real life army weapon equipment

[dmarkwick 261]

Great news thanks :)

By preference I only ever get the point releases, is there a possibility for point release only updates option on the updater? If I'm a week late or so, then I get a non-point release version.

[lao fei mao 21]

Great and appreciated! ACE team deserves a Medal of Honor!

[sickboy 13]

Glad you are all enjoying this latest installment of the ACE Mod!

Not at this time, sorry mate. The issue is the size of the Mod.

It would double the space taken on all six-updater mirrors, and leave less room for others. This is a limitation of rsync.

But, as promised, with the disruptions to our update schedule (hotfixes), we are planning a No ACE-Update Friday, which will be this 12-November ;-)

(Obviously unless severe issues have been found, however, I think they would've come out by now :D)

At first, Six Updater was using Git instead of Rsync. It uses the same delta patching technology, but was created for versioning, with history, tags and branches, using minimal space (even with all that history and ability to switch between all the revisions), it would've been extremely easy to switch between any older version, and as such also switch to Stable, and back to develop etc.

IMO that made for amazing possibilities; seperate testing branch, latest stable dev, and latest stable, etc. etc.

However I had to abandon the usage of Git for the purpose of distribution of mods (mostly large binary files), because of the extreme memory usage of Git in that situation.

The creators know about this limitation/flaw, however decided not to invest time into it because Git isn't designed for large binary file distribution and patching but is as a version control system (primarily for 'small', non-binary files) :D.

I am still hoping for a solution, either some alternative or otherwise, but I can't promise anything for the near future.

Thank you Sickboy, this worked like a charm, Win 7 x64

Thanks for the new version. You guys keep adding more gameplay features than BIS ever did :)

Would you ACE team be so kind and create an installer for the stable versions?

I am struggling to get my more "casual" friends in this mod because always a download fails, or Six-Updater / Yoma doesn't work etc. I'd really appreciate it if you guys could improve the "accesibility" part.

No biggie, just thought I'd make a comment other than "great work" :D

Thanks for the answer though, it seems you'd already thought of this possibility.

:-) Casual download links are available at the end of each Stable announcement;

But as always; in case of issues, let us know and usually that means a fix in no-time ;-)

Additionally, I think to remember someone created a generic installer for it, but can't remember exactly, perhaps older ACE threads will reveal :)
