this addweapon "ACE_Rucksack_MOLLE_WMARPAT";

player addweapon "ACE_Rucksack_MOLLE_WMARPAT";

Where do I put the configs when installing the mod manually?

I have the ACE2, ACE2X, and CBA installed in mod folders.

[BigMorgan 11]

delete / Rename the folders and try again

Wow, would have never though of that.

I have to throw my $0.02 in the pile of pennies sitting around here that this SixUpdater is a terrible program.

I greatly appreciate all the effort and work that went into the mod but the method of delivery is turning a lot of people away from the mod. I've talked to more than a few people who aren't downloading ACE due to SixUpdater.

/rant, and to end on a positive note let me say that THIS MOD IS EPIC! THANKS SO MUCH!

Just tried

this addweapon "ACE_Rucksack_MOLLE_WMARPAT";

and it worked fine. Not sure why.

Just use the updater... I used to hate it but now that I have sorted it out, it is updating my mods, not just the ACE one, automatically everyday. No need to check forums for updates, no need to beg for mirrors. It is a one off solution.

Im actually at this point... It frustrating

I downloaded the game , works fine. Now i have to update , the thing tells me in too many ways that it just doesnt work...

@Hbomber110 - ok, in the spirit of the ACE mutual loving community, why don't you PM me and let me see if I can help. Please detail your exact errors and your system configuration like I did in my signature. Its helpful to put your system config in your signature to help people understand your situation.

[BigMorgan 11]

Great, updating still did not work after renaming/deleting the modfolders.

Is manually installing CBA making a difference? Note that I do not have a CBA.7z in the SixUpdater folder. I manually installed CBA (night before last), did not add it to the updating config on the webserver thing. ACE would not update.

Added CBA to the updating config on the webserver - CBA updated but not ACE.

Renamed ACE/X modfolders, removed CBA from web config. ACE appeared to update, however I am still left with X.182 after the "update" SixUpdater installed.

I'm really at my wits end, so let me ask a second question: is the Yoma AddonSync/Kelly's Heroes method keeping up with the minor updates? I hear that we're up to X.184 today?

try running the update a few more times, sometimes it connects to a repository which isnt yet upto date.

I have the ACE2, ACE2X, and CBA installed in mod folders.

Alright, looked around and the FAQ told me to "copy" the cofigs here:

@mod\userconfig\*** to userconfig\mod\***

What does that mean? :confused:

[BigMorgan 11]

Ok I think I found the issue, for some reason SixUpdater did not create rsync folders in my modfolders. Where do I find the appropriate rsync-related files?

[Ish 11]

Is manually installing CBA making a difference?

No, and you don't need the 7z file for updates, only for install.

is the Yoma AddonSync/Kelly's Heroes method keeping up with the minor updates?

No. But you shouldn't worry about which version is out, but rather the version, most/your favourite server is currently using.

My favorite server (AWP Warfare /shameless plug) isn't running it, this is just for fun in the editor. :D

[jasonnoguchi 11]

@Bigmorgan,

Manzilla made the first MFACE (made for ACE) mission at http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=91572 . Its quite fun and uses almost all of the new ACE units and features. Its a simple mission that allows you to play the features to the MAX! :) Because there are sooo many new features and ways to complete the mission, this mission has become my fav setting for testing ACE features.

@mod\userconfig\*** to userconfig\mod\***

What does that mean? :confused:

which conffigs? userconfig goes \arma2\userconfigs\ACE\(.hpp files here)

[Pauldarrington 9]

Ish the next time you give out incorrect information you should check first, Kellys heroes server is running the latest version through Yoma and our server is uptodate... Also we have a RSS FEED running so you will know when an update has been released check it at www.kellys-heroes.eu

[BigMorgan 11]

Thanks jason. Any chance you know where I can get the repositories needed update the mod?

Once I get it updating properly I'll start searching for some cool missions, that one looks like a good start!

[An Fiach 10]

Ok I think I found the issue, for some reason SixUpdater did not create rsync folders in my modfolders. Where do I find the appropriate rsync-related files?

.rsynch should be inside each modfolder i.e. \@ACE\.rsynch then the relevent folders and files inside of them

[Praelium 0]

Ah, okay, thanks. I thought the userconfig folder installed with Arma II by default. Instead, I had to make my own.

[BigMorgan 11]

.rsynch should be inside each modfolder i.e. \@ACE\.rsynch then the relevent folders and files inside of them

They are not - I think I figured out where I went wrong as I stumbled upon "ACE.rsync.7z" on Armaholic

[jackthe®ipper 10]

Quick question, When asked to put the .7z based files in the update foler, do you extract them first or just move them to the folder?

[jasonnoguchi 11]

Thanks jason. Any chance you know where I can get the repositories needed update the mod?

I use the updater right from the start to avoid any problems. I don't download the folders myself from elsewhere and then expect the updater to update it... doesn't work that way. My advise since you obviously has the updater working already is to delete all the folders you downloaded manually and then start again using the updater... streamlines the process, avoids frustration.

Just move them

[BigMorgan 11]

Thanks again jason, I tried that suggestion 3 times in a row (doing that always makes me think of that saying, "The definition of insanity is repeating the same process and expecting different results" lol) to no results. Now I put the rsync folder contained in the ACE.rsync.7z folder in the modfolders and I've got the updater doing something... will report back if it's installed X.184. :D

[haley86 10]

alright i tried to download straight through 6-updater, it only downloaded @CBA and not @ACE or @ACEX. What am i doing wrong

[Meatball0311 79]

I was snoopin around the web trying to figure out class names and I came across some threads that showed a whole bunch of HK416's. Like 'ACE_HK416' and etc.... however when I tried to addWeapon "ACE_HK416", it said config could not be found?? Are these weapons not in game? and if not then can we expect them to be included in an update?? or where can I get them?? I really dig me some HK416 and would love to check out the ones made by ACE! I am currently using (and loving) RobertHammers..
