Seems to be an issue with date parsing. Will update thread when I have a fix.

Hey @Flax Any news on this matter?

Thank you.

Hello.

I update mod with a preset mod of my team.

I import from BIS launcher, but FAST is always checking.

If I restart FAST,  the updating is still running. I can't do anything

 

And how can I selct worshop mods and put them into my server profil. I can't drag and drop, I can't paste

 

Thanks for your answer

Really need a wiki, because I am lost.

In STEAMCMD Settings:

Directory: ?????

 

In Arma Server Settings:

Directory:???? is it Arma game or arma 3 server folder??

Bruce74,

Last Arma update created a issue with FAST.

A temporary workaround is posted a few messages up.

Sorry for the delays guys, been really busy with work. 

 

WORK AROUND FOR CURRENT ISSUES:

 

Two options follow these instruction provided by @Arghbra or follow the below:

1. Delete current install of FAST
2. Download previous version
3. Re-import mods

I know this isn't the best work around but it's the best way to not encounter any issues until I have time to fix it.

Where do I enter my steam code? It doesn't open a box or anything for entering text. The small log on the right doesn't allow text to be typed either.

 

[Arghbra 10]

@56Curious a new small window open to enter the steamcode.

[56Curious 23]

Hmm, might need a reinstall as nothing shows up :/

I have found that you can fix this problem by opening the mods.cfg that is located in the same folder as "Flax's Arma Server Tool.exe" use notepad++ or something similar.

the file contents will look something like this:

FAST should now work. you can open and close it and re-open it.

 

[Flax 397]

Thanks for the spot, not sure how I missed that. Will find the cause and fix asap. 

[Arghbra 10]

Thanks, @suprsurfr but be on the lookout because the FLAX program will indicate that all MODs will be updated (even if they are not), being necessary the manual update in each MOD.

Hi Flax, couple of things;

 

When I start the launcher, I get an exception;

 

 

On the mods tab, the green bar under 'checking' animates constantly, the add/import/add private buttons are greyed and no mods show in the bottom pane.

 

Also, I use custom difficulty and the launcher only allows true or false on waypoints. Many of the difficulty settings allow a number, usually 0,1 or 2. Details at the bottom of this page

Is this project still active? I am having a hard time trying to get this to work and this is not my first rodeo and I have knowledge. I was able to get the mods in and update individually. Once I close it. I reopen it and gives me errors.

Not sure what more to do. Everything I find is dated 2017. I found this but no .exe

2005? WOW. I posted now in 2018 of same issue. Did you find a solution? 

 

[Tankbuster 1747]

No, but Flax is active still. I'm hopeful we might get a fix.

[Flax 397]

Yeah i'm still alive as is the project. I'm in the middle of moving and changing jobs so priorities in free time have changed. Will try and take a look this week if I have time, I know i released a broken version so apologies for that. 

[Tankbuster 1747]

For reasons unknown, the tool keeps going not responding> I've not changed anything - I needed to take my game server down as I needed to update the mission. Then the tab for my server went away. I've reinstalled the application and readded the server tab and its information, but it keeps going not responding.

Any help?

[Flax 397]

@Tankbuster any chance your server has moved hardware? The password encryption uses motherboard serial numbers as part of the encryption key so might be crashing if it cant decrypt the password. If not I'm not totally sure without any error message. I'm doing some work on the update now and over the weekend so might have a non broken version for you soon. 

[Tankbuster 1747]

Thanks for the reply, Flax.

No, it is the same motherboard.

I realise my report is a bit vague, is there any more diagnostic info I can get out of it?

NEW RELEASE - V1.3.1

 

Not-So-Hotfix for all the stuff broken by V1.3; Apologies for taking so long to get this out - this fixes all issues raised after V1.3. I would suggest deleting the mods.cfg from your V1.3 install and starting again. Going forward I will try to keep more backwards compatibility. Below is a list of the fixes:

• Added Steam Mobile Auth support
• Fixed illegal character in mods.cfg file
• Fixed checking for updates
• Fixed missing space before additional server param

 

Please let me know if any of this is broken, I've tested what I can but probably not everything.

 

Known Issues

 

These are the same as with V1.3 :

• Large updates on slow connection time out (Steam Issue).
• Mods saying updated even if skipped.
• Server Profile mod sort order not saved.
• I haven't been able to test all server config options - if they are broke let me know and I'll fix.

 

Downloads

GitHub Release

 

Update Instructions

1. Delete previous mods.cfg file.
2. Download and unzip.
3. Overwrite existing files.

[eric963 23]

Thanks for the update.  Will give it a test run later tonight and report back.

 

Thanks

Eric

[Tankbuster 1747]

All good for me.  Many thanks!
Just got to wait for the improvements to the custom difficulty options now. :)

I'll see if I can get that done this weekend. Remind me, what additional options are missing?

[Tankbuster 1747]

I'm not at my pc at the moment. Things like waypoints are no longer on or off, but are 1,2 or 3. I linked to a biki page a few posts up, I think.

[ownedarg 13]

Hello @Flax thank you very much for the long awaited update.

I deleted FAST Tool completely including mods.cfg and added every mod manually from Steam Workshop as you suggested. While updating the mods, this error came up: 

 

 

At first I thought that mods that didn't need updating maybe resulted in the program showing that error, but then I encountered that one mod hadn't been updated:



As I tried updating that sole mod, the same error came up:
 

 

This is mod.cfg in case you need it for debug:

 

 

Notice weird HOP and characters on Prei Khmaoch Luong

 

I hope you can shed some light on this error.

Thank you for the hard work.
