ArmA3Sync - launcher and addons synchronization software for ArmA 3

Recommended Posts

asdfasfefaefsd:mad: ...... I love you, i knew it was gonna be something that simple. So now if i build a new repo on my pc then up load it to the dedicated machine it should work as long as the transfer is set to binary? and would i be possible to put that on the wiki cause i sent a number of hours to get it work.

The thing is that repository upload is not the normal/optimized way. ArmA3Sync is supposed to build the repository on the host machine.

Repository upload will come into future update.

oh ok i understand but i dont, so i new problem came up... i can connect to the repo it shows me what mods i dont have i go to download them and i get failed to retrieve .zsync file for url. also if i were to host the repo on my pc then my teammates would have to download the files from my pc/connection?

This is because you have built the repository with protocole FTP set from Repositories panel, it must have been set HTTP for the zsync file to be generated.

I know you have build in support for TFR but this is a manuell way. I already sync the userconfig folder, would be cool to sync automatic the new dll stuff for TS3 with the repo just like the other stuff. ATM i sync a folder "TFR-DLL's" and the players add this stuff manual after repo update to their TS3 plugin folder. why not sign this folder as TFR dll stuff all the time and if there are new dlls your great tool copy them over?

Major,

Just recently, I've noticed one of the addon groups keeps disappearing from the right hand pane. It's usually the top one, which for me, is the CBA group. I waited for an update to see if that cured it, but it's still doing it.

Never experienced this. What do you do exactly to make the top group disappear ?

Start the application. It's as if the contents of the right hand pane aren't 'saved'.

Thx Major_Shepard, your support is quite nice ;)

1: Would be cool if your "online" section could scan these servers and show how many players are on them? And more important a way to sync servers with repo? We have 3 own server and some friendly clans, i want that everyone have this servers ;)

2: We have a structure like this:

Arma3\@clanpack\@orginalmod1\

Arma3\@clanpack\@orginalmod2\

Arma3\@clanpack\@orginalmod3\

Arma3\@orginalmod3

Now if someone move a mod out or in the clanpack the repo dont recognise it not anymore. I know it worked bevor and i used it but now several people report that they need to download 5GB again? (A3MP Maps...)

3: Why would i join a server with a repo? I want to join a server with a group i made out of the repo. For example i made a group for everyone called "public server" and this only loads 3 mods. So everyone only need to load 3 mods when they join the public server,

You can already do this:

- Whether you share every autoconfig url of each repository. From last update, one can attach the servers infos from the Build options. Then when importing the autoconfig url, the online panel will be automatically completed.

- Or you can share a *.a3s.autoconfig file from Menu -> Autoconfig -> export that compile every repositories and favorite servers.

Now if someone move a mod out or in the clanpack the repo dont recognise it not anymore. I know it worked bevor and i used it but now several people report that they need to download 5GB again? (A3MP Maps...)

They don't have to. Whether they have to enable the Auto-discover option or they move the addon by hands into their local repository to respect the remote repository file structure. I will see about detecting addon moving inside the repository.

3: Why would i join a server with a repo? I want to join a server with a group i made out of the repo. For example i made a group for everyone called "public server" and this only loads 3 mods. So everyone only need to load 3 mods when they join the public server,

You have to create an Event which works as a sub-modset of a repository => http://www.sonsofexiled.fr/wiki/index.php/ArmA3Sync_Wiki_English#Use_as_a_mission_maker

User can then join server with Event modset whether by setting it from the online panel or by generating the corresponding goup using the Modset button of the Addons Panel.

Looks like you have a write access restriction on ArmA3Sync installation directory. Could you run ArmA3Sync.bat and paste the console content here?

There is no rsync folder generated by ArmA3Sync. Guess you grab the @CBA from PWS?

How would someone make a custom Repository for this program?

Hello,

doesnt work here.

We used a ftp server on our dedicated server (we used it to centralize mods) > the arma3sync dont see a folder .a3s from host players

Something changed with the last update. I am now unable to tell folders that just have additional local content apart from folders that have updated or added content when I am syncing with a repository. Before A3S would highlight the latter by making the folder name red (all the way to the root folder of a mod). Now only the files have the colouring and I have to drill down into the individual folders to find out why I am having the ! symbol show up. Any chance of getting folder colouring restored?

The new repository options are great. Could you enhance the "Repository files excluded from build" option to take entries like "*.extension" to exclude all files that match this pattern (i.e. "a.extension" and "bcd.extension")?

Could you please comment on the requirement to have indexes enabled for the web server? Why is that a requirement and is that going to change?

Hi Shepard...

Is there a method for setting the new build options using the CLI tools for those of us who don't have desktop interfaces on our servers?

Cheers

C.

I've had some issues starting Arma 3 Sync. I've reinstalled Java and Arma3Sync a few times without any luck, Disabled Firewalls etc.

It basically doesn't start at all, doesn't show up in processes, doesn't do crap. Anyone know a solution for this?
