Options 21 or 23.

Crap... I clicked 1... Can I fix it somehow :|...

He means using the updater, if you don't want to do that there should be a shortcut in your arma 2 folder if you used the updater to install with or you can make a special shortcut like for all other mods, if you need help with that, send me a pm and I'll shoot you back a detailed description.

There is nothing to "fix". Simply run launcher action 21 or 23, to start the game.

Any other means of starting the game is up to you.

sickboy is there a easier way to keep our Clan server up-to-date instead of Copying it over all time to server which takes around 6hours for an update since have to copy everything over all time

[An Fiach 10]

Well sorry for being bold but if you have to copy everything every time, you either are doing something wrong, or you have an extremely crappy hosting provider.

Extremely sorry but it falls out of the scope of my support and it is up to you to deal with it. (There's a great many, supportive, people around here though, so maybe they are able to assist).

So even though I used OPTION 1 in the DOS BOX I can just launch the game after it finishes installing using OPTION 23? That sounds easy if so, thanks .

PS - It takes a butt-load of time to update :|... About 2/3's through I think.

also like I said, the updater makes a shortcut in the arma 2 folder, just drag to desktop and no need to start the updater unless you want to update the mod to the latest version

talking about the torce i was coming on here to ask why the AI do not react to it is not coded in to the AI to react to a light.

eg

i was sneeking up on enemy when i was about 5M behind (he was face left so side on to me) i flicked the torce on the get him to turn he just stood there?.

is it poss for them to react to a unknown light source? or is it a limit in the engine.

btw this keeps getting better and better i love walking around with them light sticks and allso placing loads near each other to get cool colour effects.

[An Fiach 10]

lol with the chem lights it won't be long before the disco videos on you tube are upgraded to full on raves.

[stk2008 14]

hahahahahaha i can see it now music playing peeps holding these light sticks bopping away nice hehe

[An Fiach 10]

I can't say for sure, I don't know how the code works, but maybe custom light sources of that nature are just invisible to the AI. Much like street lamps.

[Dogmeat of Finland 10]

Dynamic SoundAI work, if you do as described here: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=76203&highlight=dsai&page=6

and if you want to activate AI radio voices use the information from: /userconfig/ace_clientside_config.

Thanks for the tip. The Dynamic Sound AI mod works like a charm now with ACE.

Maybe the AI is so intelligent that it recognized you were trying to get it to turn around so knowing that the gig was up for that particular soldier it ignored you while hand-signaling a flank on you to it's buddies... As you pondered the nature of the ARMA code several professional terrorist snipers and marksman began to draw beads on you, ready, waiting to fire... :p

It's been on the community issue tracker for a while now: lights do not affect AI vision. So it's not surprising that they don't react to torches. Hopefully BIS will fix it some time.

EDIT: AFAIK, OA has flashlights, so I'm assuming (hoping) that this bug will be fixed by then.

[petek 62]

Sorry if I've missed this - I can only seem to order a "target that..." command by switching to manual fire, targetting manually, switching off manual fire, then issuing the fire command. Is this a feature?

Thanks again to the A.C.E. 2 team for a fantastic mod!

Has anyone played around with the wound system? It works great for me, as the player, if I equip the morphine, bandages, etc and walk up to a wounded team mate, press the right windows button and proceed through the steps. Unfortunately if I try to order my ACE SF medic, with all needed medical equipment, to heal the very same player nothing happens. The medic just walks over to him, his icon says "Heal" or sometimes "Action" and after about a minute he says negative.

I made a quick example mission with just 4-man SF team and 2 are wounded. The medic is equipped and so am I as team leader. I am only using the AE wound system module, not the BIS FA modules.

I just want to make sure I'm not setting it up wrong before I post a bug report.

Sample mission, try it and see if I've set this up wrong:

You could senkronise your FTp client with server.Filezillas directory comparison for modified date was works.

uptade your computer,then compare @ACE>addons folders computer to Sever.

The uptaded pbos in your coputer will have differenet colors.Then upload only that pbos.

got a little bug:

if you wear a gasmask, it overlays the weapon/fire mode indicator. so you can only guess if you shoot semi, full...or got a grenade selected.

[snakedoctor34 10]

bug or only me ? but logo works fine on ace or non ace other vehicles and the other side is normal.
