Community Base addons A3 v1.20.150327 RC6

So is this one safe to download or is this still the version meant for devs to update their mods? The front post hasn't even been updated with "RC6" only RC4

[Belbo 462]

For those who are having server issues running AGM and CBA - try deleting the two AGM_FireControlSystem files from the addons folder of AGM. That's the PBO and BIKEY files.

We were having server crash issues, but by process of elimination worked out that it was that causing our problem. Server seems quite happy now.

We don't have any problems with these. We had the same problem, but the solution was to change the order of the -mod-Parameter. The DLC-packages are loaded first, followed directly by CBA. AGM and all the other mods are loaded after this.

[SAS_Raptor 30]

Is this with current CBA or the dev update?

We haven't updated yet, still running the old CBA version from before the DLC.

[zio sam 77]

Our servers are working fine, too. Using several mods, including AGM.

impossible.

just launching agm and cba you get this error

bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Van_01_civil_transport_base_F

no way to launch missions on dedicated server

yep. we get the same error

[thediscernist 10]

"* The old keybinds will revert to their defaults

* These old keybinds defaults will be locked and cannot be changed."

And thus the community was split.

Brilliant.

Funny. Then I must have imagined playing on our server last night and today. ;)

But if you're sincerely eager to have it fixed, take this "fixed" agm_firecontrolsystem.pbo which should resolve any problems with the missing Van_01_civil_transport_base_F class. But this is the CBA-thread, so let's not derail it any further.

It come from AGM_FireControlSystem

I made a fix for that, you can download it here :

https://www.dropbox.com/s/sc3hsj64fwc9j0w/AGM%20fix%20FCS%201.42.7z?dl=0

But not the best place to talk about that (too bad that AGM thread si closed).

MP for more infos. ;)

Can we update now ?

[vipermaul 246]

Version: 1.1.20.150408 RC6

WARNING! SIGNIFICANT CHANGES COMING WILL IMPACT EVERYONE

This is the official release of RC6 that we warned about in this post here.

This release contains a major rewrite of the CBA Keybinding feature that will impact older mods as well as any players have change the default keys to a new custom key.

Improvements to the CBA keybinding system include

• Better Performance

• Better Localization

• Better Scalability

As we stated earlier the following points must be communicated to Players and Developers

Players

• All Keys will revert to defaults keybind for the mod. This does NOT include the keys that BI maintains.
  
• If the mod is not using the new APIs the keys will not show up in the Configure Addons dialog box preventing you from being able to change them. Why does this happen? See below.
  

QUESTIONS:

Q: Why change the APIs now at this stage?

A: It gives us an easy way to give a limited backwards compatibility with the old key system. The keys are reverted to their defaults so you can still use them until the mod comes out with an update using the new system.

Q: Why can’t my custom keys automatically be converted to the new format?

A: There were significant changes to how the keybinds are stored. The new system uses a unique key for the hash. And to start new means the promise for a clean database.

Q: How come I do not see any keys in the Configure Addons dialog for my mod?

A: This mod is using the old CBA API for keybind registration. A new updated mod that uses the new CBA API for keybinds is needed. If unavailable contact the deverloper of the mod and encourage them to update their mod.

Developers

• New APIs must be used for registering your default keybinds.
  
• Old APIs for keybinding now have limited support.
  
• For more information please see this post.
  

For documentation of the new CBA Keybinding System see https://dev.withsix.com/projects/cca/wiki/Keybinding.

PWS seems to have added it as a non-stable release, so it doesn't update unless you specifically force the version, even from what I understand, this release of RC6 is a stable one.

[vipermaul 246]

Unfortunately you are correct. I have already alerted the PwS team almost an hour ago. Due to the time differences it may take a while to correct. I will see what else I can do.

[janus0104 3]

Our dedicated servers no longer start up properly with newest CBA. No other mods running.

Errors like

21:14:02 NetServer::finishDestroyPlayer(359706660): DESTROY immediately after CREATE, both cancelled

when trying to connect.

Can't gracefully shut it down, have to kill the arma3server process.

Works fine without CBA. Verify Signatures off. Persistent over multiple physical machines.

Our server won't also start, unfortunately our server admin was too lazy to check out the rpt, so I can't post any error message....

Solved. We had a different mod.cpp, which somehow is relevant now?!

If anyone runs into similar issues, watch out for that ;)

[sonsalt6 105]

Good evening,

I am sorry for any inconvenience you guys had. By accident we had a broken alpha version still in the system that prevented the update from happening.

It should all be fixed now.

Thank you for your patience. :o

[tharos 2]

May i ask if it is your mod that changed the fonts of all arma?

[thediscernist 10]

Hey. PlayWithSix guys. We need version control on this. A LOT of people's older mods that rely on CBA are no longer being updated by their authors, and this latest update breaks a lot of the older stuff. Version control please.
