ACE for OA 1.13

[jmaxwellc 10]

I have a problem in ACE, I try to use the Self-interaction menu and It isn't popping up and also the "Other Weapon Crate", I can't seem to find the gas grenade in the box and the Interaction menu isn't working also.

I'm trying to give a helicopter addon the repair/rearm/refuel feature of ACE (With ACE Interaction Key).

Since the WAGN ACE Documents are outdated (still refers to the UserAction repair/refuel/rearm), some help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Best regards Mag

ACE Vehicle Radio Sounds are driving me INSANE.

I do not have the module placed.

From my init.sqf:

	ace_sys_aitalk_enabled = false;						  publicVariable "ace_sys_aitalk_enabled";
ace_sys_aitalk_radio_enabled = false;					publicVariable "ace_sys_aitalk_radio_enabled";
ace_sys_aitalk_talkforplayer = false;					publicVariable "ace_sys_aitalk_talkforplayer";

Yet we can still hear them, and they are loud and annoying and not conducive to a good time.

Those guys have been moving through that gully for a long time now, time to clear them out. Halp!

*edit* - Apparently, if ace_sys_aitalk_radio_enabled is anything other than nil, vehicle radio sounds are enabled. Fixed by commenting (or deleting) the above three lines. This DH ticket was confusing in that the final update, a comment by Alderman, refutes the solution.

ACE2 is so fun we (42 Commando) had some fun with the sand bags, namely over 1000 of them. Now if only we could place tank traps XD

We are taking applications if you want in on the fun.

Anyone else having an issue with the BRDM-2 is indestructible. I just started messing with Arma again recently, and I can not destroy the BRDM-2 (empty or occupied, all factions), with the exception of a hellfire shot from a Cobra. Satchel charges, SMAW rounds, and even 7 rds from an M1 Abrams tank will not destroy it. After pumping a few rounds into it, I get out and run to the BRDM, and all systems are green....like it was never even touched.

Try putting people inside it. They'll probably all die.

I have been complaining about this for a while. Some vars need to be set to true/false to enable/disable while others either nil or defined to anything. Very confusing. This has caught so many people it isn't funny.

did you guys change anything regarding the gps? For some reason i don't have grid coordinates anymore...Neither on pmc iphone, nor on the default gps.. Or is it one of the latest beta patches..? anyways, it's totally stupid and i wanna fix it.. Any clue?

[Rovka 14]

Since I had installed the latest OA patch to the game, in-game I get all sorts of scripting-codes displayed in a black field. Like for example when entering or exiting vehicles. Functions aren't lost and work normally though.. And indeed, that Self-Interaction key doesn't work for me either.. Can anyone explain to me what is going wrong here? Is it ACE's latest patch that did it, or is it incompatable with the latest OA patch BIS had issued? It's an immersion-game breaker for me, and a little annoying for it temporarily blocks visibility. Anyways, thanks for the response if anyone does care to do so.

Any chance of fixing "Unknown" instead of unit name in left lower corner of spectator?

I am a noobie and trying to learn the game which thus far I have thoroughly enjoyed. I have done the training missions and have ventured into missions proper currently BAF Ad Lib Dems. It is a good mission and I have learnt a great deal. However you have to place a number of satchel charges and the only way I have been able to do it is by placing each one myself using the interaction and self interaction keys. I am unable to get any of the units to place and detonate them at all though I am sure that on one occasion I got an action for a unit to trigger a detonation I have been unable to replicate it in any way. All I get in the action (6 key) menu is a list of 16 different actions but none to do with the satchel charges. I have tried pointing at the unit and at various locations, pressing various keys and combinations, but no luck. I have searched the forums and only found that it is possible, but most discussions deal with editing problems and the interaction keys, none relating to my particular issue. Grateful if someone could help as its proving frustrating. I am sure it must be something simple I am omitting or a sub mod I may be missing.

I have ArmA2 Combined Ops with the ACE 1.13 mods (only) installed and used 6 updater and ArmA Launcher.

Thanks

cheers

How does the SOFLAM laser designator work in ArmA2 with ACE installed? We've got an A-10 flying over some target tanks, a guy on the hill lasing the target (we've tried laser codes 1001 and 1688), but the bombs don't land on the laser.

*edit* - I haven't actually tried this, but it is the only description of the process I was able to find. Some ACE components are woefully under-documented.

Thank you. We'll try that out later today.

pretty much like in real life AFAICT, the laser reflects off of your target in an arc, so the pilot has to be inside a certain area to be able to lock on. the easiest way to do it is to fly in on your target from behind the guy on the hill lasing the tanks.

Sorry guys, Im having a problem. ACE Menus don't open, I use left Windows key and Menu key. How can I do?

Did anyone ask for some MCLOS?

If not, too bad! :D

[CameronMcDonald 146]

Hah, great stuff!

[Tonci87 163]

Very interesting nouber, how do you control the missile?

[noubernou 77]

The WASD keys, haha.

[Tonci87 163]

The WASD keys, haha.

Any chance to move this to the arrow keys? Lets say you play SP and you have an AI driver, WASD are the keys you absolutely wouldn't want to touch while controling a missile

Genius! It looks fantastic, Nou.
