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

Recommended Posts

Sniper setup... Noreen is matched up with a MOS(2D).  I've set ZERO dead on at 100 yards.  I pulled out my trusty range card (baby steps) and determined at a temp of 25C and a 100m ZERO I need -9.4 clicks to hit a target at 1050.  So I start dialing in -9.4... and the clicks stop at -4.

 

I can crank it all the way up to +30 which would probably hit me in my shoe laces but I cant dial any lower than -4. Help!

 

I'm reading and watching and loosing my mind (I swear senility is setting in).  What have I missed in setup or study?... or maybe some ACE module setting

 

 

Never mind.  I dislocated my rectocranial joint and got it all sorted after realizing what I was doing completly wrong.  Do it the right way and it unsurprisingly works as advertised.

If you read carefully, the range card indicates the bullet drop. :)

I've been using it with no issues on Apex branch and DEV branch.Which parts don't work?Only thing I don't use is medical.

 

I've lost the abitily to modify the Gendarmerie offroad inventory while using ACE. I can edit or script but I always end up with an empty offroad. Didn't try with other vehicles.

ACE3 v3.6.0 released
 

Requires CBA Version 2.4.1 or later.

Download 3.6.0 oGithub

-------

 

It has been a while, but our next update (3.6.0) has finally arrived. And it's a big one! We say this each time but the changes are really getting more numerous on each release.

This release has mainly focused upon improvements and fixes, while also largely being one where we clean up our internal frameworks. See our blog post about deprecating frameworks in favour of CBA. Our goal with 3.6.0 is to polish the project and mature its code, making it easier to maintain and work on ACE3 in the long run.

 

Translations

We are still in need for translations for some languages within the ACE3 project. Please have a look at this github issue to track the progress and what languages lack translations. Any and all help with this is appreciated.

 

Slack Chat

And most finally, we would like to invite you to our ACE3 public Slack chat. Here you can chat with fellow ACE3 users and developers, ask questions and receive help. Registration is open for everyone: http://slackin.ace3mod.com

ACEX v3.0.0 released

Download ACEX v3.0.0 from Github

----

This is the first release of the ACEX package. This is a mod aimed at adding in extra and optional modules on top of ACE3.

At the moment ACEX is focused on gameplay that the ACE team considers added value, but does not properly fit within the main project itself. The initial release contains mission and multiplayer enhanced frameworks, such as the Headless Client Load Balancing.

Requirements:

  • CBA Version 2.4.1 or later.
  • ACE3 version 3.6.0 or later.

The 3.6.0 release is meant only for Stable branch of A3.

That means no support for Apex content on sneak peak/ dev/ RC branch of the game.

After Apex releases officialy, ACE will be updated accordingly.

Is there a better way to disable certain things in ACE rather than deleting PBO's?

We don't really do much in the way of sniper missions so we removed the scopes PBO and I think advanced ballistics/rangecard in favour of the more "arcadey" scope zeroing/ranging.

But that means if someone drops in to play with us they then need to delete/rename those same PBO's and then reverse that when they go play on another server.

 

Is there a way (or in fact would it be possible) to have "per mission" ACE settings for everything? I know I can add modules for a lot of stuff, but there are a number of things (like the scopes) which I can't seem to remove from a mission without deleting the PBO's 

 

 

 

Having said all that, thanks for adding SO much immersion to the game. It's really hard to play without ACE. You guys have done an amazing job.

So, how is that Gunbag used?  Unit members are trying to figure out how it stores weapons?
N/M.. appears to be direct drag from inventory, but it only holds mid size and smaller weapons.  No DMRs or Sniper weapons?

Things like scope can't be changed during runtime at the moment, only config and config can't be changed once the game is running, only on start. We are experimenting with some of those components to support settings, but for some it is simply impossible.

Self-interaction menu, it is meant to store sniper rifles and some smaller items next to it. That is so you can carry a sniper rifle next to another weapon while on move.

Hi ACE Team,

 

Is there a function that I could call that would cause the fragmentation effect?

 

Thanks in advance.

Not sure if I missed it, but does this add the supposedly new grenade system to so you can throw grenades into windows and such easier?

Cool, glad to know you guys are looking into it. I'll just keep using 2 different mod folders in the meantime.

Keep up the great work

After today's update, I can no longer see my teammate icons as a squad leader.
Is this a feature? Is there a way to re-enable it?

I think this feature was pushed to 3.7.0 Milestone because of some issues.

Does anyone else have issues with "Prevent Instant" death not working if there is a headless client?

 

EDIT: To clarify, the same mission run with and without headless client

WITH HEADLESS: AI instantly kills player no matter what armour player has or weapon AI is using

WITHOUT HEADLESS: Medical system and revive system works

 

This is a bit problematic as we use ALIVE and Headless client to keep the AI responsive and the lag down. Does anyone have/had this issue that knows of a solution?

Hi ACE Team,

 

I've updated to the last version of the mod.

 

I use all the RHS mods too. Then, after launching the game and a personnal mission, I have some warning messages concerning the optional files in the "Optional" folder. As I understand, optional mean not an obligation. Or maybe it's a reference to another mod ? But I don't see it mentioned in the dependencies when downloading it.

 

Why did I have this message if the specified file is an optional or another mod that is not listed in the dependencies ?

 

Thanks for your answer and the mod  :)

 

I let you a screen capture to see the warning message :

They are listed as optional because if you don't run RHS you don't require them (running RHS without them throws the errors you're getting and likewise running ACE with the compatibility PBOs but without RHS also throws up errors).

As you do run RHS as well as ACE, you kinda need them for things to work properly.

If you are using ACE together with RHS, you'll have to move "ace_compat_rhs_afrf3" and "ace_compat_rhs_usf3" from the @ACE\optionals folder to the @ACE\addons folder.

This error message is warning you that RHS content will not work as expected with ACE features.

This has always been the case, but we implemented the warning messages now.

It would be very nice if modules/features like radio, realistic names, ballistics etc. could be toggled via config options :) (if possible). I know it is all modular and one can simply remove and add pbo"s to its liking, but there are so many kind of scenarios and playstyles that do not work with some modules while the same modules work brilliant in different scenarios . It is simply inconvenient to remove and add modules all the time just for removing or adding a feature temporary, especially when using the Steam version which makes removing pbo"s a pain in the behind.

 

Not nagging or complaining just my thoughts... thx for your amazing work :)
