ConnorBurns 0 Posted January 29, 2016 Hello! I require some assistance with the ArmA3Sync application, as I have been having a lot of trouble lately. Recently I installed A3Sync, and it was my first time using it, as it still is. I got everything working correctly and I completed all the steps on the community page correctly, but there is only a couple of problems I have been having.... The application is limiting my download speed to max 560kb/s, even though under advanced configuration it is set to 0.0 (unlimited, as shown). Also, another problem is that for some reason I cannot chose any maximum connections other than 1. This is very strange and aggravating, because my computer usually will download at 20mb/s+, and I have a good internet connection, but for some reason, only on this specific application, I don't download as fast as I would like to. I tried to set the application's priority to the max setting (Realtime) but that made no difference either. Please help! Thank you in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trixski 0 Posted January 30, 2016 hi guys i keep on getting error messages when i update from a repository. the only workaround i can find is to pause when it stops and then resume d/l again before it stops and sends me the downloaded error repor. Doing this way means that I have to watch it during the whole d/l which sort of defeats the point of it ...

This has been going on for sometime and it not all the files just some of them. And advise would be greatly appreciated to figure this out. No doubt its user error but i just can't figure it out Thanks for all your great efforts in making this and keeping it going. Cheers trixski Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SAS_Raptor 30 Posted January 30, 2016 The application is limiting my download speed to max 560kb/s, even though under advanced configuration it is set to 0.0 (unlimited, as shown). Also, another problem is that for some reason I cannot chose any maximum connections other than 1.Sounds like the repo only allows 1 connection (server-side setting). And with only 1 connection, one gets a pretty low download speed depending on distance/latency to the server. Mb you can contact the repo admin and ask him to increase the number of possible connections? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ktandel 12 Posted January 31, 2016 Edit repository -> Advanced options -> raise read timeout. Major Shepard if we keep Timeout and Read time to be 0 will it work even. As in FTP it is 0 for unlimited. There are lots of people in my community facing the same issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
major_shepard 82 Posted February 1, 2016 A normal working FTP/HTTP server generally responds in couple of seconds maximum. You should change provider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ktandel 12 Posted February 1, 2016 Most of the people are able to download but issue comes after downloading half of the mods that they stuck at position. Need to use Pause and Play button again to activate it again. There is no major else problem with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trixski 0 Posted February 3, 2016 Hi guys just an update to last .... I did as suggested, made the changes client side repositories/ edit repositories/ advanced/ -> changed the read timeout to 1200000 and kept the connection time to 600000. i then changed the name Repo/ advanced configuration/ changed the max number of connections to 4/ and max d/l speed to 100 mb/s --> end result is that im getting more connections 4, speed is a bit faster but im still getting the "hang up" on d/l on larger files .... and it always seems to be at the last part of the file. It may have d/l all of it but it will just "hang" on the last little bit. again I seem to be the only one who gets this problem from this repository so I can't see it being a provider issue ... Thanks again for all your efforts TRIXSKI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It may have d/l all of it but it will just "hang" on the last little bit. again I seem to be the only one who gets this problem from this repository so I can't see it being a provider issue ... When the download of a file just finished, the progress bar is at 100%. The progress bar is reset to 0% when the first byte is downloaded from the next file. So between the end of the first download and the start of the next download the progress bar will be at 100% as ArmA3Sync will wait for the server to transfer the next file. Setting high timeouts won't change anything as it depends on the latency of the connection to the files server which itself depends on the route between your PC and the server.

elchupy 3 Posted February 5, 2016 Hi guys, i m having a little trouble with Arma3sync. i m trying to build a repository for my team, but i keep getting the message "Not enough free disk space on disk to add compressed pbo files into repository." i m a bit lost as there is more than enough free disk space on that drive to complete the build (close to 1T) i successfully builded the repository with those mods : @CAF_AG1.5@CBA_A3@CPC_TRYK_patch_[v1.0]@hlcmods@MELB@RH Pistol pack 1.11-A3@RH_acc@RH_m4@SCARrelease@task_force_radio@TRYK But if i add @RHSUSAF or @RHSAFRF, i get the error message about free disk space. note that i successfully builded an other repository with @RHSUSAF and @RHSAFRF. edit: i do not have that trouble under ubuntu-15.10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SAS_Raptor 30 Posted February 6, 2016 Had a similar issue. I tried to build the repository on drive D:, which had more than enough space. However the system partition C: was pretty low on free space. After making some space there, Arma3Sync suddenly was able to build the repo on D:. Not sure whether it's a bug or if Arma3Sync really needs that much free space on the system partition.

elchupy 3 Posted February 6, 2016 Moving Arma3Sync application to the repository drive fixed the issue on my windows 10. but i had the same issue on my ubuntu later on, i think you should consider removing the existing zip file size from the necessary space computation. i was forced to remove all .zip file to be able rebuild the repo after the addition of a 8G mod, while 30G were still free on the partition. great software by the way..

major_shepard 82 Posted February 6, 2016 I will investigate. Maybe the wrong drive is analysed, presumably the system one. To add the compressed pbo files you need at least as mush free space as the repository size. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

codekick 10 Posted February 12, 2016 Hi major_shepard. Can you give me access to your SVN repository. I want to try add russian translation. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
major_shepard 82 Posted February 12, 2016 Hi major_shepard. Can you give me access to your SVN repository. I want to try add russian translation. Thanks. You are welcome mate. Check your PM. I have created a branch for this call /dev_translations. You will find /dev_translations/1-5-75 which is a copy of the last build (1.5 Update 6 beta 2) you can work on. You can create sub branches within /dev_translations if needed. All libraries to add to classpath can be found in sources from /resources/lib Compilation MUST be JRE 1.7 compliance. ArmA3Sync entry point is fr.soe.a3s.main.ArmA3Sync.java If needed to build ArmA3Sync.jar, the manifest file is at root of the sources: MANIFEST_A3S.MF Please add all static data regarding translations into /resources/locales (example /resources/locales/ru/*.files for Russian translation) English must be use as default language. Do not use/include within ArmA3Sync third party libraries with restricted usage like commercial stuff. Please use english to write commentary inside the sources. Please edit fr.soe.a3s.ui.mainEditor.PreferencesPanel.java to add a language selection combobox. Thanks ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kromka 40 Posted February 19, 2016 Hello major_shepard. Currently BI works on new launcher which will have a brand new multiplayer searcher. Do you plan to add similar funcionality? I am just curious. I tried this BI launcher and I have to admin this is very good tool. Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
major_shepard 82 Posted February 19, 2016 I guess you mean server browser? Nope it's not planed from me. However if someone like to add this into ArmA3Sync he is welcome. ArmA3Sync has been develop foremost to target players in a team managing their own server. Server browser is useless for this guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
france 10 Posted February 20, 2016 Hi major, in our clan we use A3sync directly in our Repo Server. In other words we use A3sync only in command line mode. Our Repo Admin manage the mods in the repo via FTP client and then they connect with putty and launch the Build command. The only thing that they manage from the A3sync Client is the Events/Modset management and Upload. For some reasons we need to exclude some files. I see that this is a feature we have if we use the windows client (Build Options) that let us to save all the config stuff in the Autoconfig.files. There's a way to add excluded files to the autoconfig files via command line ? Directly on the server ? Thanks a lot, as usual, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

france 10 Posted February 20, 2016 This feature already exists from build command when using ArmA3Sync-console.bat/.sh I don't understand. I checked the Wiki documentation but I don't see any parameter that let me setup file to be excluded. Administrate a repository using custom script Custom script can be use to perform automatized operations on the repository. Create a .bat (Windows) or .sh (Linux) script at root of ArmA3Sync installation directory with one of the following command: - Build repository: Java -jar ArmA3Sync.jar -BUILD "RepositoryName" - Check repository synchronization: Java -jar ArmA3Sync.jar -CHECK "RepositoryName" - Synchronize a target folder content with a repository: Java -jar ArmA3Sync.jar -SYNC "RepositoryName" "DestinationFolderPath" True/False (with/without exact content matching) - Check for ArmA3Sync updates: Java -jar ArmA3Sync.jar -UPDATE Also I had a look to the ArmA3Sync-console.bat but I don't find nothing What did you mean exactly ?
