Hi Sickboy.

I just wanted to let you know that I plan on and would like to get A2WarMod and COWarMod on SU.

Currently im in the process of setting up skype so i can chat with you like you had mentioned before in pm.

One question,

i thought I had read it somewhere on the thread, but SU can have missions on it to correct, and

if i were to put some on there and lets say I had updated the missions then the latest version of those/ a mission built would be available just like a mod?

Most excellent work!

Thank you!

I have one question. We're renting game server, and already have ACE set up on it by the owner (not sure which method they used). Is there a way to use mod files that are already there as repository with Six? Could I just have config.yml and servername.yml in there configured, would that suffice?

No but you can download those files, and setup a CustomRepos with them as per usual http://six.dev-heaven.net/wagn/Six_Updater+CustomRepos_Setup

Any webspace should generally do.

If you have ftp access to the server, you can also move over to the official network ACE version, as you can upload the changes with SU to your server.

Then a config and server.yml will suffice (for additional control),

or if the fine grained control (optional mods, teamspeak server info etc) isn't required, users selecting your server through the Server Browser or

sixupdater://server=ip:port

link will automatically detect the mods the server is running and select them from the network.

I wanted to give ACE another try, after I was annoyed of the fast unconsciousness after running with equipment as an infantry soldier. And installation now is much easier than 12 months ago. Thank you!

But how comes I am no more able to start without sixupdater? An error shows up like "missing X/.../.....hpp file".

[sickboy 13]

Sounds like you've got mods active that require other mods, but didn't activate those required mods.

Either in your arma2oaprofile, oa mods registry, or commandline startup parameters.

Thanx for the answer. I don't why it works now - after a few days and some restarts ... but it works. Thank you!

[Minoza 11]

Ah... I guess I'm doing something wrong here.

You see, I'm trying to push @ACRE and @JayArma2Lib through FTP, but no go so far... Maybe I'm typing in something wrong...?

This is what I used:

Local repo -> "Username/Desktop/Local"

Remote ->

ftp://name:pass@88.198.22.44:2322/

And nothing... it just gets stuck at 10% while trying to push ACRE. I tried without port:

ftp://name:pass@88.198.22.44/

But still nothing... Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Do I even need to enter port? I've added same thing into config, should I use something else there? I also changed to .7z as it says to do so in documentation.

[sickboy 13]

Please switch back to .gz unless the webserver doesnt support HTTP range requests.

If the servers in the network do not support the HTTP RANGE command required by zSync, change :archive_format: from .gz to .7z

port 2322 ?? That sounds like an arma server port... Did you actually install FTP Server software on the server?

And yes, if your FTP server doesnt listen on the standard port (21), you need to enter the port, otherwise you can leave it out.

Also see FTP uploads fail FAQ; http://six.dev-heaven.net/wagn/Six_Updater+FAQ#FTP%20uploads%20fail

To be sure; The RepoBuilder tab is only for custom repositories.

Not for uploading mods to your game server, if you want to do that, you should use the Preset RibbonTab, "Remote Folder".

Local repo -> "Username/Desktop/Local"

Did you mean C:\users\Username\desktop\local ?

No idea, I didn't install anything, as I said, we're only renting a server. I can access it either through FTP or their site.

If I didn't oversaw it, you did not provide the error itself, did you?

Sickboy is more then willing to help, but he needs some info. Please register at http://dev-heaven.net/projects/six-arma-updater/ and create a new issue detailing the errors you see (screenshots are great too).

Btw, I'm running on W7 Pro 64bit just fine.

[sickboy 13]

Startup parameters are documented, but as rfc points out, please create a ticket with your log files as described @ http://www.six-updater.net/p/support.html

And we'll fix the issue instead :)

[sickboy 13]

Still looking forward to that bug report :)

Released v2.7pre16 yesterday with a bunch of fixes, improvements and internal refactorings in preparation of coming features and improvements.

Also included are French localization by Lonestar, and Polish by zGuba.

Proper changelog will soon follow.

Edited September 28, 2011 by Sickboy

[sickboy 13]

New update coming probably tomorrow, together with a new WIP report.

Progress has been somewhat slow, but good at the same time.

2.7rc should still be released on schedule, in about a week.

[sickboy 13]

Six Updater v2.7pre19 released!

Release Notes: http://www.six-updater.net/2011/10/six-updater-v27-wip-report-2-pre19.html

[sickboy 13]

v2.7 RC might be 1-2 weeks delayed. A new pre build might still be released coming days, but there's too many todo's left to make it an RC build.

Reason is unexpected holiday (Czech-Rep) ;)
