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

[khaosmatical 237]

I am having a few issues with the Javelin firing modes. 

 

#1: The Javelin only seems to respond to the Vanilla ARMA controls, not the ACE lock-on bind.

#2: I am unable to switch the weapon from Direct to Top Down using any key binding or combination.

I think it's a CBA side issue.

So, I've recently updated to the newest version of ACE3 and now I have no interaction menus.  Anyone know what's going on?  I've got explosives and medical supplies in my inventory but when I hit the interaction menu, nothing appears.

 

I am sad. :(

Is it just me or has overdosing been disabled in this version. We played a spy mission tonight using advanced medical.

I gave someone 12 morphine followed by 9 Epi and the guy didn't pass out. Which we all found rather strange. We were using full advanced medical system with advanced wounds and bandages heal hit points.

 

Works for me. I was able to poison my fellow teammember some times with the new ACE version. Only for morphine and soon they saw stars! ^^

I keep hearing that ACE is causing SAVE issues is this correct is it realy ACE`s fault as I cant see why?.

Arma 1.56 broke nested array serialization. Any sufficiently large and deep enough nested array will crash the game when loading a save.

The interaction module stores all object class names in an associative array in the mission namespace. Every class name that exists with at least one object in the mission has the full precompiled interaction tree assigned in that array. (technically there are two, one for self actions, one for interactions). This is needed to make the menu as fast as possible, as compiles during the mission would severly slow down gameplay when using the interaction menu.

 

In CBA v2.3.0 I introduced a previously known possibility to create virtually infinite pseudo namespaces using dummy locations as containers. Using that method severly reduces the array size, because it cuts off the first dimension of it. Instead of storing all class names in a single array, there would exist one "location" with one array for every class name. The class name would be the namespaces key and the interaction tree of that class one value.

CBA pseudo namespaces were implemented for the interaction menu in this commit: https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/commit/6a58af5b33b86cde97480b20b49fa7520db5a0deand will be part of ACE 3.5.1 soon TM.

 

This slightly reduces the lookup times for all mission namespace variables. Apparently this also fixes these crashes, as I and everyone else that tested the commit so far no longer can reproduce them with it, while they are 100% reproducable without that commit.

The exact cause for the crashes are unknown though. The underlying issue is not fixed, which means that any mission (even without any mods) could potentially still crash. The interaction menu is most likely the largest array to be used in ACE though.

Awesome thanks for the fast reply.

 

Looking forward to the fix :)

I have a question:
In my base I have prepared several Amo and Supply boxes. The are filled up with stuff. Therefore they are to heavy to Carry or Drag. Is there any way to carry them anyway (like a function that changes its weight?)

Had the same problem today. :D

As far as I can see there currently isn't such a function. Would be great though. It's a real bummer if you have all your logistic crates ready to be carried, but one is just slightly overloaded and not carryable.

So question about the mod. I've looked around on the wiki and couldn't find an answer.

As a medic can you give yourself an IV/surgkit/pak. I was playing medic the other day and got hit. Bandaged myself up but then bandages kept coming off because I couldn't surg kit myself.

Is this an option in the module settings?

Not that I know of. Thats why we always have two medics!

Are you guys aware that the 3.5.0 update introduce malware hidden in the ace_fcs.dll?

More likely your shit AV software popped a Maria Sharapova-esque false-positive...

[stk2008 14]

I highly doupt that.

Probably some sort of false positive for some reason.

Im sure one of the ace team will explain why your AV thought it could be a virus.

Where did you download your copy of ace from is more to the point?

[JerkinMerkin 62]

I downloaded from the Ace 3 website.

 

I am using windows defender, and it is saying "Trojan:Win32/Spallowz.A!plock" is found in the file.

[commy2 188]

It's a false positive. Use https://www.virustotal.com/

[JerkinMerkin 62]

Thanks, glad to know its just on my end then.

[gadjr114 11]

Does anyone know why I have no interaction menus now when using ACE3?  I hit the windows key and the little circle icon pops up, but no interactions.  Same with CTRL+WIN...

Not to be mean but why don't you use the search tool, that question has been asked multiple times and the answers have been given.

awesome mod, great work!

 

I can`t, or rather don`t want to play without it anymore :D

Same here, I can't play without it. Unfortunately with the current save bug, I can't even play with it.

I hope there'll be a quick fix out soon.

As said before the save issue seems to have been fixed in the next version of ace no eta for a patch yet tho.

[mobile_medic 43]

Quick question. I play on an ace enabled server and use the incremental door open/close feature. However, on my own mission that I am making, the feature doesn't seem to work. I just hear a click sound when I press CTRL + SPACE (and nothing happens when scrolling mouse wheel).

 

Is there a module setting that I have neglected by chance?

 

edit: Never mind. It appears to be an issue with doors on Kunduz.

Yeah, this does only work on vanilla Arma 3 buildings or buildings that use the same animations like vanilla Arma 3 buildings.
