miller 49 Posted March 8, 2011 Thanks ACE-Team :) sorry for silly question but I´ve little problem: The download-archiv @CBA v0.7.4.151 have not the folder, as you can find in the readme for the games a2, co and oa What do I need?=============== * You should always install the @CBA mod folder by copying it to your ArmA II installation folder. * If you have a "merged", Combined Operations installation with both the old ArmA II content and the new Arrowhead expansion, you're done - you only need the @CBA mod folder. * If you have a standalone Operation Arrowhead installation, you need both the @CBA and the @CBA_OA folders loaded. * If you only have the older ArmA II installed, you need both the @CBA and the @CBA_A2 folders loaded. Example startup parameters ========================== For Combined Operations (ArmA II and Arrowhead installed together): -mod=@CBA For a standalone Operation Arrowhead: -mod=@CBA;@CBA_OA For ArmA II only (people without Arrowhead): -mod=@CBA;@CBA_A2 what do we need for a2 and co and oa ? :confused: greetz miller :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

noubernou 77 Posted March 8, 2011 ok thx, thought it would be a problem on my side... Just wait till I get around to implementing my "make NV suck even more" program... :p Noise in the screen, very limited view distance, etc. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nashable 10 Posted March 9, 2011 Could someone provide a summary of the new features added, typically with ACE releases its quite hard to see what has been implemented from the previous main release. I know there are changelogs but they tend to focus on bug fixes, would be nice to have a document that gives more of an overview of functionality.

noubernou 77 Posted March 9, 2011 Can't wait! :thumbsup;NVGs have been needing a realism overhaul for a while. Haha yea, I've been noticing I get a certain pleasure by taking systems which are overly easy to use and giving them a nice boot in the teeth of realism... Gunna merge in the Dragon code, should be out on Friday... Hopefully I can sneek in some NVG stuff by then too maybe... :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zio sam 77 Posted March 9, 2011 I'm having the same issue as Miller. :confused: If you have only OA standalone just download from here http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=12157 if you have Combined Ops running on your system use this link instead http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=6231 100% workink dload links Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sickboy 13 Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) If you have OA standalone you install @CBA + @CBA_OA. If you have A2 standalone (not important for ACE for OA, because we don't support A2 standalone) you install @CBA + @CBA_A2. If you have Combined Ops, you install only @CBA. In short. You always use the @CBA mod folder. If you don't have Combined Ops (merged or seperate installed OA+A2), you need 2 modfolders instead of 1. @CBA and @CBA_OA are delivered seperately with ACE Stable releases: http://ace.dev-heaven.net/wagn/ACE_1.9#Downloads On top of that, the Six Updater takes care of it all, incl launching the game with the correct mod-set. Ongoing development releases are recommended over the stable releases, besides the Stable release is always a previously released ongoing development release, 1.9 stable == 1.9 RC3. ---------- Post added at 07:39 ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 ---------- Could someone provide a summary of the new features added, typically with ACE releases its quite hard to see what has been implemented from the previous main release.I know there are changelogs but they tend to focus on bug fixes, would be nice to have a document that gives more of an overview of functionality. Thanks The Highlights section does; http://ace.dev-heaven.net/wagn/ACE_1_9Then there's the roadmap and the changelogs. If changelogs mostly contain bug fixes, then that is what has been mostly in that version. Edited March 9, 2011 by Sickboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACE 1.9 Stable == 1.9 RC3 which has been released last Friday on SU, so if you already have it then of course there's nothing to update... This is the same every release. A Stable release is always an earlier release - released on Six Updater. Either on Friday as an update, or on other days as a hotfix. http://ace.dev-heaven.net/wagn/Stable Click the Info button at a mod to see the actual mod information, in case of ACE you would see for yourself, last update 5 days ago: http://updater.dev-heaven.net/mods/show/a546d346-a754-11de-b50f-0021855d3b6d Also, you can always force update / check / repair your modfolders. ---------- Post added at 11:30 ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 ---------- 00:56 Revision 2280f8ba: ADDED: Flashlights rocko Does this mean flashlights are added ready for the next release or added as a task?. Revisions are code committed to our repository, so ready for next release. Login on dev-heaven and you can even see the code involved with the revision.
