CBA - Community Base Addons - ARMA 3

[vipermaul 246]

CBA v2.3.0 Released

 

This release is to support Arma v1.54 or later.

This release brings with it a major rewrite of XEH and now automatically detects if event handlers were added to incompatible object classes and handles them. It also fixes a number of issues and adds keybinding support for the Zeus user interface.

 

 

NOTES ON THE NEW XEH:

 

Interesting changes for normal user:

• no longer needs to move cba_enable_auto_xeh.pbo manually. CBA now automatically detects if event handlers were added to incompatible object classes.
• less overhead when objects are created (which benefits AI spawn scripts)
• very slight overall performance increase

for developers:

• easier to make addons XEH compatible without requiring CBA  Wiki: Extended-Event-Handlers Compatibility
• RPT message printing incompatible class names on game start

I updated to 1.54 and CBA 2.3.0 at the time and struggling to disable this debugging window whenever I load up a mission using the Eden editor.. No idea which is causing it :/

 

[ski2060 167]

Is there some reason that CBA is not showing up on STEAM?  I get an error saying it is hidden or I may not have permission to view it on the workshop.
I had to remove mine for an issue and trying to get it now, but STEAM won't let me.

What is gac_JSDF? The current version of Arma is 1.56. Please post the RPT file.

Same here, and for others in my group.

Probably some new STEAM Workshop Terms & Conditions requirement. I will investigate. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Seems to be fixed now!

Hey,

 

When you guys rewrote the new XEH - did you guys intentionally change Extended_Fired_EventHandlers to be identical with Extended_FiredBIS_EventHandlers?

 

I know that nowadays you're supposed to use FiredBIS and you have the whole background story about the differences, but I had some old (2013) mod running in my community's modpack that still used Extended_Fired_EventHandlers and I now noticed a shit ton of errors regarding the 5th parameter (used to be projectile object, is now magazine string).

 

I've modified the mod now for the time being, but it's very possible that other mods are affected by this.

 

Kind regards,

Sanchez

Edit: Issue found. Will be fixed.

CBA v2.3.1 HOTFIX Released

 

This is a hotfix release to resolve some issue created by v2.3.0
It also has some other minor fixes and features included that didn't make the previous release.
One cool new feature is an improvement to the debug console within 3den. The extended debug console increases the size of the text box where you enter code. And also add's the prev and next statement functionality. A small performance boost comes with this hotfix as well.

 

CHANGE LOG SUMMARY:

• ADDED: XEH DisplayLoad and DisplayUnload event handlers (#264) commy2
• FIXED: Wrong order of arguments in Extended_Fired_EventHandlers (#266) (#267) commy2
• FIXED: Conflict between CBA Events and Help prevents mission from loading (#244) commy2
• FIXED: Potential script error on mission start (#258) commy2
• IMPROVED: Performance improvements in Help module (#265) commy2
• IMPROVED: Delay installing PlayerActions PFEH until first use (#262) PabstMirror
• IMPROVED: replace PUSH() Macro with pushback (#247) johoko482

• MEGA - CBA_A3 - Click Here
• STEAM WORKSHOP - Click Here

KNOWN ISSUES:

• The old keybinding bug. Some CBA keybinds might not appear in the controls menu. While the script error was fixed, we are still working on a solution to make even corrupted profile key entries appear.
  The easiest currently known workaround is to create a new user profile.
• A potential crash on missions longer than 5 hrs. RPT logs are appreciated.

[Incontinentia 339]

Just a heads up for anyone using ALiVE, the latest version of this (including the hotfix) messes around with ALiVE missions and can break ALiVE persistence. Looks like it's something to do with the order in which things are loaded. With version 2.2, ALiVE works correctly. The ALiVE devs are working on a fix now. In the meantime, you can revert using WithSix.

 

See this thread.

For anyone curious about the ALiVE issue, the related thread is in regards to the error in this photo. The link Incontinentia posted also has steps to repro the issue too.

Again, the ALiVE devs are on it but I definitely don't see the harm in making the CBA team aware of the issue as well.

reaching out for a hand

 

  I am getting this error on game start. It's not preventing me from playing but I like to keep things clean.

 

Intitial game start=

CBA V2.3.1.160220 mod active, only, thus the post here. Starting Arma with zero mods yields no errors.

 

Please advise if something shows in the error that warrants posting elsewhere.

 

Thanks for helping

optic_mas is not from CBA. You should post the RPT file, otherwise we can't help you. Thanks.

[haleks 8204]

Isn't that from one of massi's addons?

[EricJ 724]

That's not CBA but massi's weapon pack related. "noentryconfig.bin" yadda yadda is a config error on the modder's, not CBA's part.

[pvt. partz 248]

Issue resolved

 

I had recently downloaded quite a few mods to use in Ravage/ROADS. One of them as others have eluded to could (most likely) was one of Massi'e weapons mods. One of them had instructions to place 'PBO's in the Addons folder. For one reason or another I removed the weapons pack but the game was still seeing the PBO's, not knowing what to do, thus the errors.

 

@commy2

Your answer was the nudge I needed to head in the right direction. For another unkown reason I had disabled logging in the launcher. Once I re-enabled it I got different warning on startup stating that ASDG Jointrails requires addon/massi's weapons pack (do not remember exact words). So I looked in the Addons (at least now I knew where to look!) folder and there was the two entries that the error was referring to. Proceeded to delete and all is well.

 

Thanks!

Hi guys,

 

I have problems getting this mod to work on the latest version of Arma3.

Once the game starts and this mod is enabled (disabling the mod immediately clears the issue) I get Addon 'cba_jr' requires addon 'A3Data'

I use the BI launcher to activate the mod.

 

I tried to install the mod through stream WS as well as manual (add local mod) but both give me the same error.

 

Any advice?

 

Thanks

You have to use the latest version of Arma (1.56). The Linux client is not supported, simply because it's running on a very old patch.

If that is not your issue, then please post the RPT file, so we can further investigate.

Great job, the pesky singleplayer isn't an issue no more.



Too bad it's too late to refund Arma 3.
