Updated to 184 without problems with six-updater. But still i can't see the textnames of some ammo. Is something wrong with my mod installation? :?

Nice! No nothing wrong with the mod install, known bug, being worked on.

How was the update experience? Fast and without any setbacks?

Kestrel is a seperate item. You have to add to the unit: this addWeapon ["ACE_Kestrel4500"]

Somebody please help me. I downloaded ACE, ACEX, CBA, and the beta. I've downloaded all the .rsync files and placed them in their respective folders. I ran the six-updater and did all the steps. When I press the execute button a dos screen appears and says something about @CBA already installed and closes out. My arma 2 shows ACE 0.1.182 I'm trying to update to 0.1.183. please help

you can download patches from this link

Patch download

Just goto patches Folder!

If it does not have the patch just Keep checking it may still be uploading

Nothing showing up in the updates folder.

And Ruby.exe will crash on our Win7 server (ran as admin afaik).

So, no updates for us :(

How was the update experience? Fast and without any setbacks?

As said, ruby.exe will crash on our Win7 server when I try starting it as admin using remote login to that server.

Had a manual install there from before (I'm one of those that install things first, then checks the docs ;)). From what I've read, updater won't work with manual install (no .rsync dirs etc), so I renamed the old ones (*_old), and tried from scratch. That process seemed to work on my WinXP setup (updater worked with the #2 option, and no existing mod directories).

What am I doing wrong?

The folder with no number string behind it is the one that's used, the others are backups because they were replaced for some reason.

I'm not sure exactly why this happens, but you should be able to just replace the new current folder with the old one if it happens again.

Cheers:)

2 updates in 2 days??? Jebas! You guys really worked your heads off!

[RomanLord 10]

I don't know if it is the right place to post here... I want to distribute also a mirror for the ACE 2 REPO to use it un YOMA Addon Sync.

My question is: apart from @CBA, @ACE, @ACEX folders, I have to include also the c:\programs\bohemia interactive\arma2\userconfig\ace ????

Or the userconfig\ace have to be "extracted" from the user from the @ACE modfolder after the installation/update?

Thanks for the report, could you please track it in a ticket?

Especially the build number like 7100 RC1, or 7600 RTM etc is important.

Also the logfiles of the updater can come in handy.

I love the GDS system implementation but it hardly works. Got it to work one time. Just downloaded a mission that uses it but after ensuring that the correct HuntIR ammo is loaded, I shoot into the sky and see the chute deploy but the viewer displays an error - "No GDS system detected".

Are you sure you see the chute? Sometimes I fire them they don't open. It seems like certain angles don't produce a chute. At least in my mission. I've never had the problem with the chute visible though.

Christ that was fast! Thank God I had too many images and "cancelled changes", making me check again :)

No, sorry, my mistake. And here is what I did "wrong":

Not running remote desktop in fullscreen.

That prevented that little DEP warning bubble on the lower right to be hidden.

Once I fixed the DEP issue, I'm able to install and probably update after some other self inflicted problems ;)

So, problem solved, I think.

After parachuting on Domination all my ACE keybinds stop working (tested, and working perfectly fine before parachuting) and needs a reconnect to server to fix... Not sure whether to say about this here, or to Xeno... Maybe its already even been reported. Just been talking to someone in game who also has the same issue.

i guess it's possible. So is there a known bug with these or are they modelled to fail like in real life maybe? I'll look for the chute. Any particular angle that I shouldn't fire these at? I usually try straight up or just slightly off a 90 degree angle.

[Moosed 10]

what is the best way for a complete ACE noob (and relative arma noob, compared to you lot) to try out the various features ?

for example i can't work out how to just deploy a guns bipod on a wall or even the ground (or does it just automatically work on the ground ?).

i create a player and set him as a machingunner and yet when i go up to walls or cars etc i can't work out how to deploy the gun. nothing appears in the action menu.

i also don't understand how to setup a machine gun using the tripod, how do i equip the parts to my soldier in the editor, or what unit carries it by default ?

Sorry if this all sounds horrifically noobish, i just went to try out ACE's features but don't really know how to go about doing it. Can't seem to find a nice simple instruction manual designed for noobs :(

Go to bed bud. You deserve it no doubt.

[xeno 234]

After parachuting on Domination all my ACE keybinds stop working (tested, and working perfectly fine before parachuting) and needs a reconnect to server to fix...

BI HALO breaks ACE keybindings because it uses displaySetEventhandler instead of displayAddEventhandler for display 46 (main display). That's it.

So as a tip, don't use BI HALO together with ACE :)

Finally got the updater to work, and it works like a charm. Awesome job ACE team, you have really outdone yourself this time :D
