Running beta 1.63.130810.

script error occurred in the OA Alice module:

Error in expression <_e\alice2\data\scripts\init-alice2.sqf' _logic = _this select 0; _logic setpos [>
 Error position: <_logic = _this select 0; _logic setpos [>
 Error Missing ;
File ca\modules_e\alice2\data\scripts\main.sqf, line 14

Was running the BAF campaign mission 02: Lancers. The error occurred only once at mission start. No Alice civilians appeared that I saw, only the mission ones did.

Then I went to SP editor and placed only a unit and OA Alice module. The error spammed the .rpt file.

fixes:

* query UDPport+1

Does it mean that steamQueryPort is (game port + 1) now? If so it doesn't work.

thanks , we will check that out

Soo I think I found a bug in the revive system.

The only thing is, is there any revive system in arma 2? Or is this a mod?

But anyway. I play on an insurgency server of veterans-gaming.

And when I try to revive a team mate, he's stuck on me...

But that only happens when I'm switch to my secondairy weapon.

last week new +1 query fix binary was released

this week new OA beta data update released

[Snake Man 407]

When using squad.xml downloaded from bis wiki example zip, I get this error in RPT:

Warning: Wrong data in squad.xml for Player[snakeMan], Squad[http://link.../squad.xml]

Was the fix listed in first post only to remove the annoying dialog and tons of RPT spam about cannot load texture?

[Dwarden 1125]

it means the squad.xml isn't strictly following squad.xml formatting (some deviation) ...

please update such xml to pass parser

[Snake Man 407]

Err, I copy pasted the squad.dtd and .xml directly from bis wiki example zip, then just edited my own personal player info there obviously. The formatting is correct, I checked both .dtd and .xml files in http://www.xmlvalidation.com/

Regarding your suggestion, the only thing I can imagine if inside the elements my info has some invalid characters or something (but I xml validated WITH my info and it passed OK).

[Dwarden 1125]

do not use some XML validator, our XML parser for squad.xml is way more stricter

I receive that message after today's update of A2OA when try connect to my server:

20:10:23 Player Schatten: Wrong signature for file D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\Expansion\addons\corepatch.pbo

Cache check didn't help.

download those and replace in \Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\Expansion\Addons\

It works. Thanks!

Is there a chance that ACR Lite will be integrated as part of patch 1.64 as PMC and BAF have always been?

[Dwarden 1125]

it's being discussed but no warranty, in theory it may happen after the patch as it's just purely data related problem
