A.C.R.E - Advanced Combat Radio Environment - 1.3 Stable - Release Thread

[Tonci87 163]

Any chance that this 3D sound bug for people with 5.1 or 7.1 Headsets gets solved?

[noubernou 77]

Not sure, teamspeak is the one who broke it. :( Jay has some code rewriting the entirety of the 3D sound processing, but thats still a WIP. It would be really nice if TS just fixed their stuff. :p

[Tonci87 163]

Well did somebody tell them?

[cannonouscrash 12]

I realise this is lazy of me, but could you please tell me the default key bind to access the LR radio built into the aircraft...

I tried your wiki, but it said I needed to login.

[sickboy 13]

acre.pdf included in @ACRE might contain them

Thaaaaaaaanks!

I have no ACRE.pdf :-/

[sickboy 13]

Try the @ACRE from the official SU network, or probably ACRE's official download should contain it as well.

[noubernou 77]

It should be alt-shift-q and alt-shift-e for the interaction menus. Make sure your key configs are updated.

I guess that's a typo :)

alt-shift-Q and alt-shift-E

[noubernou 77]

yah, Q :p

Cheers mate, I went ahead and checked my key config and turns out they are wrong (Milsimrealismunitwithranksandscreaming/clan member told me)

He's quite nerdy so I delete my old, rip one from the armaholic download and I end up with this...

Can you tell me if its right?

Looks good.

How do add vehicle racks to third party vehicle addons?

[sickboy 13]

People experiencing memory issues, please try out this hotfix patch: http://raceriv.com/arma2/acre_memory_hotfix.rar

Also check out this ticket and please post feedback if you can: http://tracker.idi-systems.com/issues/186

Is the issue fixed with this hotfix? Can put it on SU?

[noubernou 77]

It should be significantly mitigated. I am not sure what the person back a few posts was saying about the version being wrong though. I have not seen that issue in my testing.

[Donny 10]

HotFix works fine.

Last Event there where no relevant Problems due to memory issues.

[Birdy890 0]

This mod is top-notch, love it to death...

I have a small problem with it though.

- Everytime I launch the game from Steam, or the BAT file in the OA folder with an already updated version of jayarma2lib it doesn't work.

- I have to delete jayarma2lib and put an old one in place of it, then when it asks to update i say yes, it then updates and works with no issues after that.

Is anyone else having this problem? I'm almost 100% sure I've installed everything correctly, because after I update (it only works once) I can play.

[MavericK96 0]

When is the new version coming? It was said to be this last week but it does not seem to have been updated.

[saltatormortis 12]

hi i have a question

is there a way to set the channel via api?

jeah i know i can set the current Freq/power.

but i want to set the default channel and then change to the squad specific channel.

thanks for helping a mad guy

PS

great work with the mod

[noubernou 77]

All of those API functions are half working at the moment. We are in the middle of a major rewrite of all the radios including their API to make them easier to make and program and interact with. It should be done in a couple of months. :)

[colosseum 34]

This is really cool. I'm an amateur radio operator (callsign KF5LFG) so this is right up my alley -- can't wait to play zombies with it. Thanks!

[domokun 515]

Excuse me if this is a dumb question but in historic mods, e.g. Invasion 44, is the default load-out "no radio" ? i.e. Will players be forced to yell or whisper if they're to communicate?

(apart from the radio operator of course, but in reality very few WW2 units carried field radios because they were heavy, unreliable and have a VERY short range).

If so, then does the loudness of a players voice determine the range at which it can be heard?

Also can a players voice alert AI? In particular enemy AI.

If so then this would be perhaps the greatest aspect of this mod.

Way more than XX radios and YY re-transmitters.

Don't get me wrong I'm all for more gear but this fundamental aspect (I'm not saying it's easy to implement) would significantly increase the realism of this mod for missions in all periods of history, not just WW2, Vietnam and contemporary theatres!

Hi guys! My team m8 has a problem with ACRE. When he joins the game an error shows up:

"Script BB not found".

Then an hint shows this text:

"ACRE: dsound.dll not loaded in arma2!"

The installation is done correctly. Any idea?

Having the same message how did you fix it in the end ?
