Bee8190 10 Posted July 30, 2011 Good stuff sickboy, keep it up!:) Got question though, would aprechiate if anyone could help me with this one; I was browsing trough addons on armaholic and found bunch of mods that i wanted to add trough the six suite ( they weren't listed under mods ) so i DL'ed them manualy but i couldn't figure out how to make the six updater to see them and convert them ( I'm aware of the game folder button but it only lets me open folders, not to add them )..so any ideas?:o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sickboy 13 Posted July 30, 2011 Thanks. No need to convert them, as they're not on the SU network anyway you say. You can find the local mod folders at the Local Mods section of the Mods tab: http://six.dev-heaven.net/wagn/Six_Updater+Documentation#Local%20(Custom)%20Mods Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lorca 10 Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) Hi, there's a new update for VopSound. The current version is 2.3+hotfix. SU has the 2.1 version. I've been noticing, as a new user of SU, that SU has failed in updating mods that have been updated for a while now. Surprisingly, some of those mods are well known and not that obscure. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=11769 Btw, Do I have to create an account at SU website to report new mod updates? Frankly, I don't like to create extra accounts for sites that already has an official thread somewhere else where I'm already a member of.

Gunter Severloh 3942 Posted August 1, 2011 Hey Sickboy, Wondering if we can get COWarMod on SU, and A2WarMod, not sure what exactly is needed to be done to do this, as i believe you had said you have to do this, is that correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gonk 0 Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) Usually waiting until jayarma2lib support is available. Can grab the latest beta from the usual download site if needed.Still thinking about changing the policy :) I like this policy....but I guess not everyone is running ACRE...yet..:D. I did not know it was running like this, as I just added a custom mod folder with the latest ACRE compatible beta inside.... so ppl know just to use the one provided by the custom repo site...

jedra 11 Posted August 1, 2011 Hi, Any chance you could get the Red Hammer Studio stuff on six updater? I am always forgetting the dependencies (decals, heavy weapons etc) when I bring them in as a local mod! Consequently my EAST guys have to travel around on bicycles and tractors ;-) You already have their cargo system on there. Should this be posted as a request on dev heaven or is this kind of request OK here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sickboy 13 Posted August 1, 2011 I'll have a look coming days, currently my job is keeping me busy for a short while :P New/updated mods requested are preferably received @ http://www.six-updater.net/p/support.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lorca 10 Posted August 1, 2011 Thanks, ill update it soon. if a mod is outdated, I didn't come across it and people failed to notify. Sickboy, I noticed that you updated VopSound but I checked the readme of this mod in SU and it says v2.2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sickboy 13 Posted August 1, 2011 Sickboy, I noticed that you updated VopSound but I checked the readme of this mod in SU and it says v2.2. Caramba :) Fixed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lorca 10 Posted August 1, 2011 Caramba :) Fixed! Thanks Sickboy. One more thing, in the VopSound thread there's an extra download link that says, "Due to a misplaced sound in config, theres is a newer version of vops_c_guns.pbo available." Maybe this is beyond your scope of your duties? In any case, it will be nice to see like a note in SU telling about this extra VopSound 2.3 "patch". Is beyond me why the author of this mod didn't add this patch along with the 2.3v. Anyways, if you are interested, here's the link of this patch: http://depositfiles.com/files/gztzj2tpv This link was given by the author in the VopSound thread.

sickboy 13 Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Currently collecting some SU repository bandwidth graphs, for fun/statistical value; Official SU Network: http://s1111.photobucket.com/albums/h468/sickboy6th/SU%20Statistics/2011-07/ Custom Repositories: http://s1111.photobucket.com/albums/h468/sickboy6th/SU%20Statistics/Custom%20Repositories/ If anyone wants to share their SU Custom Repos bandwidth graphs let me know. For the official network im trying to get some more graphs, while also in the future I would like to provide more detailed statistics. The official network probably moves about a TB/day :) (15 mirrors with approx 80 GB/day) Edited August 3, 2011 by Sickboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nomadd 66 Posted August 4, 2011 @Sickboy I took a break from ARMA2 and now I am back playing. I played around with your first version of sixupdater but this newest version(2.5) is just incredible. I was very impressed after I downloaded and set it up, how easy it is to use and how useful. Now, I only use sixupdater to manage my mods and launch the game. I do have a couple of questions 1: Is the way you load the mods important? If so, how can I change the load order. It looks like it is done alphabetically. Maybe this is not important anymore. I looked in the documentation but could not find an answer. It is also possible I missed it in the documentation(wouldn't be the first time). 2: This is not really important just curious. I use the betas(from BI). Everything on Sixupdater so far as always been up to-date. Whenever someone releases an update you are amazingly fast at updating sixupdater, except for the beta updates. Is there a reason why? I know alot of folks use ACRE and have to have jayarmalib and that is dependent on staying up with the betas, or do you wait until some testing as been done on the betas to make sure nothing major breaks. What you have made for the Arma community to manage mods is a wonderful tool. Thank you for all your hard work. Nomadd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sickboy 13 Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Thanks for your kind words :) More stuff planned http://dev-heaven.net/projects/six-arma-updater/roadmap But is on low prio currently due to job very busy for a short while :) 1 is mostly answered @ http://six.dev-heaven.net/wagn/Six_Updater+FAQ#How%20to%20change%20Mod%20loading%20order But there are some bugs currently; http://dev-heaven.net/issues/23079 Proper designed addons should not require specific modfolder load order. Only once two addons try to perform changes to the same properties, the load order could matter. Also if addons share the same pboprefix (only one of them can be active at a time), the load order will matter too. 2 is answered @ http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?p=1991647#post1991647 Edited August 5, 2011 by Sickboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jedra 11 Posted August 7, 2011 The whole RHS arsenal is now available on SU!175 Mods encounting! :) Nice one - Six comes into it's own with mods like these that have quite a lot of dependencies (ok. two - but my memory aint what it was!) - previously I had to trawl through Aramaholic to remember what was dependant on what! Now, just one click and all the right stuff is there - bloody excellent as we say over here in England! You're doing an excellent job with this Sickboy - much appreciated.
