Unfortunately it looks like Brian M Haley used .jonny's work without a permission as armaholic.com forums say.. Now we just have to wait how will they sort it out (same stuff like with those US Army SF guys that had Ebud's vests without a permission.. and they were so nice )

The idea behind using keys is so they stay private, otherwise anyone can sign a cheat with your key and join your server. Not sure if I understood you right, just keep it in mind

The maker of the addon is supposed to make a PRIVATE key adn sign his addons, always with the same key; the distributes a PUBLIC key that everone installs on their pc.

BTW the BIS bisign info aint the friendliest in the world but its all there.

[the.d 0]

No no no, the key stays in my hands, of course. But, with his permission, I would've used it to sign his add on, you see :)

(Add On goes to me, I sign it, and send back the signed files, not vice versa)

Never mind anyway, we'll just use the "character models only" version.

seems the issue has been resolved with haley's add-on

is there a trick to getting tracers to work? i have created a night mission, all soldiers are stairght up BI class but of course i am using replacements (using this mod)...these are SF soldiers. no tracers at all.... i have tried removing six_tracers and putting ecs_tracers back in as well - still no tracers. is it something silly and easy that i am missing?

Did you try ECS as last in the list of add-ons. Your problem could be incompatibility between addons.

[ColonelSandersLite 0]

Also, try a weapon you know has tracers, like a 240 or pk.

[Steel_WOF 0]

per the instructions in this mod compilation, ECS is to be first in the list of addons...

will try a 240 or saw.  i was using an M4.  i know when i was in we used tracers in our m16's...

but, it is nothing stupid like enabling tracers in the options somewhere, right?  

[gsleighter 0]

SF Units might have silenced weapons with no tracers.

That could be cool to add a special section where you put the name of the addons suggested that are also required to be on the server to work.

I am not sure all addons will work online if the server doesn't have them installed, right ?

Definately! That is a good idea, would stop some people crashing servers because the server doesn't have it when the guy thought the addon would work or not.

And it would save me time testing which addons I can use in MP and which I can't.

[the.d 0]

I like the idea and even considered it before. However, I will definitely need help with this.

So far only a few add ons have been successfully tested "server/client"-sided and we need a lot of feedback in order to get a proper list. I'll mark the files that have been tested "working" server-wise by tagging them "<span style='color:blue'>[server]</span>"

Big thanks to Dwarden who came up with a quite impressive server-sided add ons list!

Hi, i think that there's a Tracers script that looks much better than

the 6Th Sense tracers that look like star wars blasters shots more

than tracer bullets; the problem with this addon tracers... called:

- Cent Tracers v1.15 .

Is that they require to put a game logic in the mission and they don't

work by themself, just remove all the tracers without that game logic

on the mission and it isn't signed, sadly. Here it's:

-=Cent Tracers v1.15=-

Let's C ya

[Misfit Leader 1]

Also i got a problem after installing most of the Realism Addons you gave.

My compass became very very small. I were thinking the truemod will keep it big (i already got the truemod before installing new addons) but it looks like one of these addons is disabling the truemod compass :/

I think i am gonna try to install PROPER's compass addon, but i don't know why my previous compass disappeared suddenly :/

Edit : I still got this problem even with PROPER's compass, so this could be related to beta 1.12 ?

Edit2 : I've tried with no addons and the compass is enough big, so i am going to investigate addon by addons and report ya which is the one bugging me

Edit3 : I have to delete Six_UI.pbo & Six_UI.hpp in the dta folder. That solve my problem

[PTV-Jobo 820]

Hey guys. Great list, but I have a problem. I downloaded all the mods suggested on the front page, and put the addons/mods in the suggested folders as well (@General, @Replacements, and of course @ECS). I've run everything client-side first to make sure no crashes and the like and tested things in the editor. No crashes, but when I enter a vehicle like the HMMWV, SLX Vehicles addon pop's up an error saying it can't find a certain file/script.

I downloaded it like three times now (including the patch of course), put all the files in the @Replacements mod folder like on the front page, and ran it: beta;DBE1;@ECS;@General;@Replacements and it always tosses up an error. What gives? Did anyone else get this problem?

EDIT: Here's the error it give exactly--

So my question still remains, what the hell gives? lol :P

[the.d 0]

Queer indeed, hm...

Does this error only occur when used in combination with (all of?) the files in the list? Do you have additional files running?

I'm using everything in the list and didn't have this error so far. Neither did my friends and squad mates.

Perhaps the modfolder loading order might be an issue but it's rather not... I tried to reproduce the error but I can't seem to get it.

Any ideas?

[PTV-Jobo 820]

Give me a few minutes to type up a list of everything I'm running so I can paste it here to examine, but for the time being I'll tell you that I've indeed used all the suggested addons only, with the spanish addon as an addition as I prefer my M249 with the Eotech sight, so I'm using their ammo box so I can use it, hehe). But I've used it with SLX without any issues before, when I just swamped my ArmA folder with billions of modfolders. So I'm really puzzled. Worse comes to worst, I'll go back to the bunch of modfolders and start checking them one by one by one and see if I get that error.

But as you even said, you've used the exact same addons without any issues. Only thing that I could think of is a corrupted file, but I've downloaded it like 3 times now. Argh.

EDIT: Ok, here's the list of whats in each folder (client side), long read but hopefully will help narrowing down the problem.

Sorry not to be able to help you Betsalel but you arouse my curiosity speaking of the m249 with eotech. As I don't wanna dl the whole ffaa mod just to see a weapon, could you provide me a screenshot ingame of this m249 please?

I looked at their website and i did not see a screenshot of it.

But speaking of issue with slx vehicles, I had a minor issue with DM smoke effects: when the vehicles get destroyed, the doors and hatches did not open. I had to remove dm smoke effects to get it work.

[the.d 0]

Very sorry, Betsalel, but I'm afraid I can't help you.

The add on setup you're using is strikingly similar to what I currently have got. :-/

Try, as you said, only loading the SLX add on - nothing else at first. If the error persists, report it to them, if not, gradually add files to find out what the compatibility issue (if there is any) might be.

On another note: If you're using ArmA 1.12, consider temporarily removing "q11_recoils.pbo" as, sadly, they don't work properly with the latest patch. I'll remark this in the first post.

Good luck!

[PTV-Jobo 820]

Yeah, was afraid of that. I'll give it a go. Hopefully I'll figure it out, but hey on the bright side so far everything else client-side is working and hopefully will continue to do so (crosses fingers and eyes :P).

Yeb, yeah I know what you mean, bro. I still don't know why XAM took it out, and why no one has made it separate. I'll try taking some SS's of the M249 w/ eotech for ya, sure no problem. Give give me some time and I'll pm the screenies for ya.

EDIT...again

Put the eventhandler files in my Arma/AddOns folder along with SLX's files and sure enough on its own with them and just 1.09 (I chose not to patch up just yet) beta and Queen's Gambit running, when my character entered the 'vee it popped that same error again. So I'm wondering if it's corrupt or something. Because I did a clean install of ArmA and all the mods/addons and 90% of which I've always had and worked together but now suddenly errors? Well, not too surprising, ArmA tends to go through PMS and just have things working one day, and 2 hours later things stop working, lol. Now time to play detective to figure out what went wrong here--Oy!

[PTV-Jobo 820]

Woot, it works now. I redownloaded it one last time and for some reason it all works, beautifully. Woohoo!

Thanks for trying to help me out, really appreciated that. On a side note, great compilation choice, its really breathed new life into ArmA for me. The realer, the better IMO.

[mrcash2009 0]

I hate to bump this for a repeat, but why on earth is this not a sticky yet?

[acadiancrusader 0]

GrenadierPack

this may be worth checking out

[PTV-Jobo 820]

Ok question time once again. Client-side everything works flawlessly finally (woohoo! So I decided to upload the @Server mod folder and all the keys from my Keys folder to the server's key folder. I try joining and immediately get kicked for signed files not matching--which is screwy since 1) Followed the directions 2)all bisign files for the pbo's you marked as @Server in blue are in the addon folder with the pbo's.

Now I had this issue before, but figured I'd double check here and see if anyone else who followed this guide got this trouble (especially with 1.09 and Queens Gambit)? Is this a 1.09 problem? I noticed a post in the MP section about queens gambit kicking and a fix to add to the server config which I did, but hasn't solved this issue neither. I know right now its a private server with people I know and trust, but another part of me just doesn't feel at ease lifting the server settings that check these things out.
