can someone upload ACEX to a normal download?

because Six Updater doesn't download it, i get stuck at trying rsync

Sure no problem, the whole folder is just 1.2 GB...

Try Yoma's addon sync instead. I downloaded the whole Mod this way and had only one little problem which was solved after deleting the CBA modfolder and downloading once again.

[jasonnoguchi 11]

Yes, no issues.

Then it can only be a corrupt download and if its not that, then I don't think I have a solution :( sorry.

Ok, are you able to launch OTHER mods other than ACE?

So far I haven't been able to get any other mods working with ACE, well, not the essentials anyhow ... mando missile ... :(

For anyone still having problems, follow these to the letter:

http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/six-arma-updater/Quickstart

I must have made a mistake twice in a row when first following these, but if you do it right that does work.

The mod is awesome guys, though I think my expectations had built to the point where I was expecting ArmA2 x10 :D Seems to be missing countermeasures ...

Edit: Mando Missile works apparently, trying WarFX now ...

Edit2: Ok, they both work, well, I'm happy now I suppose :p

keep in mind you still need to learn how to use Six update, to keep up with updates

Hold on a second. PK< I am not sure what just happened, I tried running a normal mod and had no issues as I stated. But now, I tried the ACE shortcut again (Still with no acex enabled) and this time, it worked with no messages.

The only thing I am not sure of is if all of the new addons are installed yet.

In the editor, I have three "ACE" classes.

E\ US_Army

E\US_Army Desert

and

E\USMC_Desert.

Should there be more? Each class does have subclasses, but for instance, in the "Armored" window, it shows Strykers, M113's, M2A2's and so on, but no M1A1 HC.

[Angle 10]

i dont have a right windows key. That is a problem.

Whats wrong with left windows?

[Black1ron 10]

Does nobody know how to equip headgear once it is in your inventory?

[mr burns 131]

Sure no problem, the whole folder is just 1.2 GB...

My @ACEX is only 607 MB. Downloaded it from the

Zeus Gaming Community - here (The files are used to "seed" the ArmA rsync updater tool)

So it would´nt be incomplete if i hadn´t run the Six Updater, or would it? oO :confused:

edit: ah, i guess your mod folders still got the .gz files in it, for updateability

Scratch my last comment. I did NOT use the Beta shortcut to launch the game, I used the Arma II launcher. Selected Ace, Acex and CBA and now it works just fine.

Thanks for the help. I just wish I had more time tonight to play. -)

[silent_op.pxs 10]

I just downloaded the mod. I'm sure all members of Phoenix Soldiers are doing the same, or have already done so.

We have waited and hoped for this day to come! Thank you ACE2 Team!

Yes we shared the zipped files as well, which made the dl size 2x original.

It may seem as a disadvantage but this way you can install the sixupdater and use the lazy configs and update without the need to redownload the whole package.

;)

Best and fastest Installation method is;

First Download & Install the latest RSync Updater -> Download RSync

Pre-Installation/Update checks

1-Goto ProgramFiles/Six-Updater and remove six-updater.pid if there is any.

2-Goto your Arma2 Folder

3-If you have @CBA and userconfig folders there, rename them to CBA_old and userconfig_old

4-Please download either of these files, depending on if you wanna use the beta patch or not

Save it in your Six-Updater installation folder. (If problem downloading, try right-click save-as)

ftp://dl1.6thsense.eu/ace/beta/six-updater.yml

ftp://dl1.6thsense.eu/ace/vanilla/six-updater.yml

5-Save the yml files into sixupdater's installation folder such as ProgramFiles/Six-Updater

Program Launch and Installation or Updating (both are the same procedure)

1-Run the Six Updater.

2-Select Option 2 (press 2 and enter)

3-It will start Intalling and Updating (if you've already installed)

4-wait until it tells you to "Press Enter to exit"

Launch Arma after adding -mod=@CBA;@ACE;@ACEX (or if you are using beta -mod=beta;@CBA;@ACE;@ACEX ) to your startup line.

You can rebind another key instead of right windows in the ace_keys file

[skooma 10]

I don't have a right windows key :(

Remap it in the config. I have the same problem.

I don't know what the button does exactly though.

While I am sure this post will be drowned quickly, is there some sort of "trick" to using the automatic grenade launcher (the desert colored barrel fed one)? I found no way of aiming it, no range settings, no nothing. It fires like 200m in front of the aimpoint with a huge arc so its impossible to accurately place a round...

I cant imagine the US army would make a grenade launcher that cannot be aimed :confused:

[Dmahon 10]

Fuck me 87 pages already! Just shows the demand and popularity of the mod I suppose, downloading now!

[jasonnoguchi 11]

Nope you good

I got 1.11gb for ACEX using the updater.

Took me 3 or 4 runs of the updater to get @ACE to download, kept saying "no updates found", other than that, all ran nicely. :)

Cheers.

"Include file userconfig\ace\ace_clientside_config.hpp not found"

Help? Where can I find this file or fix this? I downloaded ACE and CBA, but not ACEX. I updated the ACE files using Six-Updater.

E: If it helps, all the folders, i.e. @ACE and beta, have a file, ".version", a foldier, ".rsync", containing ".pack" (which contains ".repository"), ".repository", and config. Maybe I did something wrong.

Exactly the same problem I and another guy had. I solved it by deleting the CBA folder and downloading it again (using Yoma's addon sync).

The file must be in the \userconfig\ace\ folder inside your ArmA2 folder.

[jasonnoguchi 11]

many asked but no answer... how to use the head gears once you have them in inventory?

Questions about loading with other Mods...
