ACE3 - A collaborative merger between AGM, CSE, and ACE

[Bamse 223]

Indeed, but the main difference is that you will use CCIP, CCRP or a combination of both. Vanilla lock-on/diamond is way closer to reality than the current no-assistance-whatsoever method in ACE3 ;)

[alganthe 74]

Nou has it on his todo list but It won't be fixed in 3.3

[Bamse 223]

KNOWN ISSUES
We have noticed that when using ACE with 3rd-Party mods that do not fully support CBA Extended Eventhandlers (XEH) that some units do not work with Interaction fully. You may see the cursor but no menus.

WORKAROUND: The latest CBA RC7 Hotfix 2, v1.1.23 has an optional PBO that you can activate to help resolve these situations.
1. Move the cba_enable_auto_xeh.pbo and its signature file from the CBA optional folder to the CBA Addons folder
2. Restart Arma.

If you have identified the 3rd-Party mod that causes ACE Interaction to break, contact the developer and ask them to support the CBA XEH. They can contact CBA Devs for help.

Developers can update their mods by one of the following methods to work with ACE.

This keeps getting better and better. Just got a Tweet from you guys that you updated. RHS now ACE3 great news. Keep up the work. 1? does the compat still work with the RHS update. Great Work cant wait to check it out.

[Gilatar 272]

I'm wondering about this as well. For the past few updates I haven't been able to attach chemlights nor IR strobes to my person. Tried removing and adding different .pbos with no luck.

 

Disregard, this appears to be fixed in the newest version  :)

[sixt 26]

After updating to the newest ace with the optionel rhs files, i get this error, when i try to start my dedicated server: "Attempt to override final function - rscunitinfo_script" this line just repeats in my rpt and the server doesn't starts up?

[alganthe 74]

The compatibilty pbos are not assured to work with this version, they were mostly example for modders until they introduced ACE3 native compatibility themselves see HLC weapons, BWMod.

After removing the rhs files i still get the "Attempt to override final function - rscunitinfo_script" problem. Please help, cant play this game without this great mod.

When i moved back to 3.2.1 the problem was gone.

[serjames 357]

Guys any reason we have a tyre and a spare track link Floating 150ft in the air above each of our base template vehicles ? Could that be something to do with ACE repair ?

 

 

[alganthe 74]

The current release was NOT done properly and is being investigated, please refrain from updating.

[serjames 357]

updated with some screenies if it helps

[alganthe 74]

It's a known issue :D

[arkhir 135]

I just wanted to bombard you with bug reports but I see you got this. Good to see you handling it profesionally :)

 

 

Will you add the repair modules for Zeus? Like you did with medical ones. Also - what happened to fragmentation? :(

[sargken 286]

So we shouldn't update?

[DAGGER ARMANET 172]

Realize that we are not supposed to update but as its out there and it may be missed in the corrected/fixed release. Here is another thing i noticed.

 

Just as an fyi. taking captives with zipties no longer works. You hear the ziptie and it gets used from your inventory but it doesnt lock their hands and you thus arent able to escort them.

 

Either way cant wait for it to get ironed out. 3.3 looks like a hell of an update ! Thanks ACE team

Agreed. 1? To who can answer it whos responsibility is it for a compat to RHS them or you guys releaseing it?

[alganthe 74]

All of the issues mentionned above are now fixed, a hotfix is on the way.

The documentation for the frameworks and usage of the new features should come in end of this week / next week.

Didn't see if it was mentioned or if you realized already but there is also an issue with AI taking many shots to down, sometimes they are pretty much invulnerable.

[alganthe 74]

That was also fixed, I just made sure of it.

Awesome Alganthe, great news. Super excited about this 3.3 release. This is def a big one.

[rekkless 240]

I'm not sure if this has been posted. But I can't seem to fix any vehicles wheels. Even with a spare wheel near by, even with an engineer. I was under the impression anyone could fix a wheel but only the engineer could repair the vehicle hull, fuel system and turret. But I can't seem to get anything to work no matter what class.

[Zriel 12]

Question. How can I have custom damage applied to a player when using ACE3 advanced medical configuration? I'm using setHit command, using the hitpoints names that are in the configuration ("head", "neck", "leg_r", etc) and it is not applying any damage. It is working with basic medical configuration thouigh.
