ArmA3Sync - launcher and addons synchronization software for ArmA 3

Recommended Posts

Do you also launch other mods with AiA?

Just look at Expansions section of ArmA 3 and check that all mods are here. If yes, ArmA3Sync is ok. AiA is far for stable right now.

I didn't have any other mods enabled. To be honest, it took me a while (after I posted) before I even figured how to select which mods I wanted to use. AiA is easy, you have a selection pull down. May I suggest a button to add Addon Groups to your next build?

And like previously reported, there is an issue with profile names that have spaces and periods.

Hi,

I have a problem with building a repository.

I stopped at 4. Give the path to the folder provided at step 1. Add addons into the shared folder. You can also place them into folders.

How I can add the FTP shared folder location adress via SELECT button? I cant paste anything in typing field, only SELECT button works.

Can someone explain me what am I doing wrong? Or write out step 4. Thanks.

You must be on the machine hosting the FTP server (i.e be able to browse the hard disk). With the select button give the path to your "REPO" folder => c:\...\REPO

AiA just gives me an error that I can't get past... "No entry 'config.bin/CfgVoice.Male00ENG'."

Ok, I got this error running AiA. I also got it while running vanilla Arma3. I closed A3 and A3Sync. I opened using a different launcher and I get no error.

I still get this error when I load using Arma3Sync. It doesn't happen when I load any other way. No addons or mods either way.

I can't read the error, it's too small. Have you check in the "expansion" menu if everything is disabled (from the game interface)?

Can't reproduce here with the stable branch.

@Papa: could you make a try with the dev branch launching ArmA 3 with ArmA3Sync and no addon. Then open the Mission Editor.

No problem at all on my side with the launcher and the game in dev branch, that's why it's strange.

My apologies. Here is a magnified version

What happened before is that I tried AiA, and got that error. Then I just tried A3 and got that same error. So I ditched the program. So I just tried using Sync for A3 and I got the same error. So I look at the mods and some of the AiA mods are still enabled. I uncheck those and A3 works fine.

I figure I'll try AiA again to see if that works. Nope, got the error again. So I think this is a cycle, and I'd expect the mods to still be on and A3 to error too, but no. I have no idea. Sync works with A3, but I'm getting that error when I try AiA.

When you launch ArmA 3 with AiA using ArmA3Sync, are ou able to open Chernarus in the mission editor?

Please checkout ArmA3Sync Tools menu -> AiA Tweaker and make sure the directories are correct.

This will make life so much easier for us Server administrators :)

Major_Shepard & the Team that has made this, I want to say a thank you from me personally, and I'll also say it on behalf of the group I game with over at 16AA - As I'm sure we'll all eventually switch to using this.

I've not tried this with A2 but if this work well with it then I will gladly migrate from Yoma's Addonsync (which unfortunately is no longer maintained).

Thanks mate. Now as we don't want to override SpiritedMachine ArmA 2 game launcher from witch ArmA3Sync is based on, no specific development will be done regarding ArmA 2.

Very nice tool. Our community will definitely use this. Something i noticed while testing is that it downloads the whole mod pack again even though i just changed 2 files. Can this get fixed so clients only download the changes of a modpack instead of completly reloading everything?

Something i also noticed. We got a userconfig folder in our mod pack which did not got created. Instead it opened an empy error message window.

Many thanks for this.

could you show me how does it looks like in the Download panel after a Check for Addons ? Only changed files should be marked red and deleted files blue.

Could you give a link for me to download your mod pack prior the changes and after the changes?

i cannot for the life of me get my mods to show up for anyone, they show up in the FTP, they are there on the physical server location, everything else says it should be finding them. but when I make the repository, and then use the autoconfig on my personal machine to sync with my server, there are ZERO mods, funny as i added 40 mods! I'm pulling my hair out at this point, I've been fighting with it all day and tried at least 30 different things at this point.

Found this with some digging, this is what I get .

Hi, I've downloaded this tools and I've installed it both in server and local but I cannot make this works... When I put the auto config url file, it connect and in the info it show the info ( mb, how many files, ecc ) but it doesn't show me the addons in the tree and if I try to download it, it told me to select addons first or something like this... In the ftp log I've got a message that a file isn't found... I've read and follow the instruction there http://www.sonsofexiled.fr/wiki/index.php/ArmA3Sync_Wiki_English but probably I've missed something...

[EDIT]

Ok the ftp shared folder location is the root and not the mod :)
