ACE 1.10 (Advanced Combat Enviroment) for OA/CO

[messiahua 0]

Can anyone tell me what's the difference between magazines: 30Rnd_556x45_Stanag, ACE_30Rnd_556x45_SB_S_Stanag, ACE_30Rnd_556x45_SB_Stanag and also 20Rnd_762x51_DMR, ACE_20Rnd_762x51_B_M14?

What are those SB, SB_S, B? Where each type should be used? Are they better then standard magazines?

[sickboy 13]

Probably something to do with suppressed / tracers, etc?

Tried looking em up in the config browser and comparing values?

cfg_magazines/config/ACE_30Rnd_556x45_SB_Stanag

[Kommiekat 11]

Just updated my ACE mods using Yoma.

Question:

Is anybody UNABLE to lean Lt or Rt using a pistol or is it just me?

Using most recent..@ACE, @ACEX.............

Thanks for answer.

I've unpacked configs and looked before posting, but it's not always clear what all those config values do.

That's obvious:

T=tracer

S=suppressed

But:

B = ball - what's that?

For example I still don't understand what's the difference between 20Rnd_762x51_DMR and ACE_20Rnd_762x51_B_M14. Which one should I use?

In general (For ACE magazine classes, at least):

B: Ball. Standard ammo.

SB: Special Ball. Used for match round like M118LR or Mk262 etc.

T: Tracer.

S: Suffix used to indicate a normal round fired from a suppressed weapon. You don't have to add these, as the magazine system replaces these automatically when you have a suppressed weapon. Add corrosponding normal mags instead.

SD: Subsonic ammunition.

The difference between 20Rnd_762x51_DMR and ACE_20Rnd_762x51_B_M14 is that the former uses SB rounds, while the latter has B rounds.

Thanks for such detailed explanation. I think that it should be included into standard ACE documentation or any FAQ.

[VKing 12]

Excellent point.

Hi guys i have a simple question:

is it possible to install and run multiple versions of ACE? the reason i ask is because i play on a server that uses only the latest stable release not the actual latest version that gets updated weekly and was wondering if i can use both?

[sickboy 13]

Put the other version in Arma 2\ACE_Stable, and launch the game with:

-mod=ACE_Stable\@ACE;ACE_Stable\@ACEX

etc.

You can do that with any mod.

Currently the ongoing dev and stable versions are equal, but ongoing dev gets it's first update upcoming Friday.

[jonneymendoza 10]

ahh ok. seems like the UO server im playing in are using an old stable version as when i got the latest and greatest ACE update, the server complained of a mismatch version stating how my current version is .48 and the server using .46

something along those lines anyway

[sickboy 13]

Stay tuned, UO is in the process of making use of SU CustomRepository hosting options, which will automatically get you the version needed for their server.

[jonneymendoza 10]

ahh ok cool. its a bit annoying as i have to use addon sync for UO.

glad they are adding features for six updater.

IMO six updater is far superior. i love it and great work indeed

[sickboy 13]

Glad to hear.

If you need some more mods on there, or have some feedback, please lemme know at the Updater home comments section or issue tracker.

Still have a couple of months of work though to complete the planned milestones :) http://dev-heaven.net/projects/six-arma-updater/roadmap

Hi folks,i'm enjoying new features that comes with the new 1.10 like the RWR.

It works very good but only vs radar based threats.

I want to know if there are(and can be added to the mod) some countermeasures vs stinger/igla/streela that are very dangerous for eli pilots,since no warning are emitted...

THX

I don't think so...

in my tests with Helicopters i've noticed that i can avoid missiles(using combo flares+evasive manouvres) 60% of times that seems to me fair enough.

My problems start when i've not any info about an incoming missile and this happens only with MANPADS, and 100% of times hit with no hope to avoid impact.

IIRC all military helicopters and planes should have some sort of IR detector...in order to defend them selves VS manpads

or am i wrong?:j:

[sickboy 13]

Dunno, create a ticket with repro and details and it will be picked up.

[hellfire257 3]

Hi,

I'd like some help concerning the invisible targets. If I was going to create them during run time, how would I do it?

Would it be createUnit or createVehicle?

What side should they be?

At the moment I have this:

//Group
_hf_target_group = createGroup west;

//Create the targets
_hf_target_1 = _hf_target_group createUnit ["ACE_Target_WInf",_hf_target_1_pos,[], 0, "NONE"];
_hf_target_2 = _hf_target_group createUnit ["ACE_Target_WInf",_hf_target_2_pos,[], 0, "NONE"];
_hf_target_3 = _hf_target_group createUnit ["ACE_Target_WInf",_hf_target_3_pos,[], 0, "NONE"];
_hf_target_4 = _hf_target_group createUnit ["ACE_Target_WInf",_hf_target_4_pos,[], 0, "NONE"];
_hf_target_5 = _hf_target_group createUnit ["ACE_Target_WInf",_hf_target_5_pos,[], 0, "NONE"];
_hf_target_6 = _hf_target_group createUnit ["ACE_Target_WInf",_hf_target_6_pos,[], 0, "NONE"];

//Reveal the targets
{_x doWatch _hf_target_5} forEach units hf_ambush_group;

That is not the full script also.

Am I doing something wrong?

afaik, manpads cannot be detected in the same way other IR/RADAR missiles can. Hence i am pretty sure it is by design

[hellfire257 3]

You can in some cases. The Apache can do this I think. I cannot imagine it being 100% reliable though.

[zio sam 77]

ok i'll do some researches about manpads and countermeasures mounted on helicopters and if i find something i'll open a new ticket.

Right now it's a bit useless because i don't know how to help except for...

Repro steps : place a AH1W in map,place an enemy AA soldier,fly around,get downed by the Igla without warning...

[sickboy 13]

In a ticket please, we'll gather all info in it and see what we can do with it.
