Play withSIX Community Preview [Evolution of SIX Launcher and in time also SU]

[nouty 10]

Glad to see development continue. Hopefully we will see mods added and updated more frequently in the future. PWS is easily the best and easiest way to handle large amounts of mods, especially with custom repositories. Thanks for all your hard work on this project, Sickboy.

Anyone else having problems with PWS recognizing local mods for Arma 3? I have no probrem with Arma 2 local mods but almost none of the Arma 3 local mods show in PWS, either from the modfolder nor the game folder. Very rarely I've had some of them show in local mods after reinstalling the mod multiple times... All the mods work fine when launched via parameters. Could it be something to do with Arma 3's alpha status on PWS? I'm not using the new beta version of PWS.

As I already mentioned, all local mods show up fine for Arma 2.

Mods normally dont show up under local mods if they also exist on the network, thats not the case I reckon?

I do remember a bug, possibly when not starting pws up with ARMA 3 selected, have you confirmed the problem exists also when starting up with ARMA 3?

Regardless of not using the betas, could you please confirm the issue is either the same or solved when using pws 1.5? thanks!

[nouty 10]

No it doesn't help if I start it up with Arma 3. Some of them might be found on PWS, but not up to date, so don't know if that's the issue. All of them are not anyway, and it wouldn't explain how sometimes they would show after multiple reinstalls.

I'm glad to report though, that all of the local mods were showing up in the 1.5 beta, so it seems to work there. Looking forward to the next official update. :)

Great work with PWS, I use it loads for arma 2 nowdays. Hope soon arma 3 will get some extra love soon too.

Rather bad timing just days after your big release but it seems your website is being blocked :(

I just get

Apologies for the situation, it has been resolved in the meantime and should be good again in a few moments (I suspect an hour).

[CyclonicTuna 87]

I have a question. Is it possible to launch non-playwithsix mods with playwithsix? Because I find there to be lot of mods missing from the mod browser of playwithsix. I want just one program to install and update all the mods that I want but play with six is just kind of lacking behind.

I want to install the AC-130x mod but I can't find it on playwithsix so I place it in the modfolder but it doesn't show up either, please help.

[sickboy 13]

Hi CyclonicTuna,

Mods that are not available on our network are called "Local Mods", in 1.3 they are in a "Local" category.

In 1.5 they are inside the Local section of the Library; Game or Mod folder.

1.5 is highly recommended, and will soon be upgraded to 1.6 (which is currently in beta). 1.6 has some major improvements to ARMA 3 AllInArma support especially regarding local mods for arma1/2/oa/toh.

Currently in both versions if you try to load a mod that is on the official network but is registered as a mod for a different game, the only way you can make it available is either through official compatibility means (like loading AllInArma in ARMA3), or by renaming the modfolder to something different, something unknown to the network.

[CyclonicTuna 87]

Thank you for your reply Sickboy! Found it ;)

One more question though, it still says Arma III alpha in the left window (like under my username), is this a problem?

[Ivan911 1]

I have a question about Play withSix update process. Since i installed PwS my version is same 1.3.0.476. When i try to update

- tools/check for update/check for update

it wont update and i see lot of new versions stable and bata. Is my auto update not working is there auto update or i should update manually? How to update manually? :o

[Ivan911 1]

Let's put it shorter how do i update PwS client?

[paragraphic l 2]

Sorry for the late reply. Currently we don't auto-update users on v1.3 as the latest builds (v1.5 and up) removed compatibility with Win XP.

If you like to install the newer versions you have to go to our website instead.

[alexgardien5 6]

Could you please update the Canadian Armed Forces mod.The version on play with six is way outdated. Thanks :)

[deadly01 10]

I recently updated to v1.7 from 1.3, and I really dislike the new UI and interface, and how mods are organized into. It's not that it's bad anything, I just really prefer the old version and how everything was setup. However I cannot seem to find version 1.3 on the internet anywhere. If anyone could help me out and get my v1.3 back up and running, that would be sweet.
