extract into your arma2 installation folder.

Edit the client side config and enter the profile name

@A Smed: You're selecting process userconfigs in the dropdown not install or update right?

If so, perhaps just create your own userconfig folder and copy across the files inside the @ACE\userconfig folder.

It would go into your arma 2 directory\userconfig\ACE\

Sorry if I'm not being much help, not entirely sure what is wrong.

EDIT: Or just use the above post download.

For Handy:

If you let us know your ACE server details, we will add you to the system!

http://updater.dev-heaven.net/stats

http://updater.dev-heaven.net/main

Listing and stats available, plus those that use the web-client can directly join your server, and have the correct mods selected!

Hi, it seems you dont have the proper archives / modfolders.

Please delete the .7z files (if you have any), and the modfolders.

Then run action 2 from the launcher. The mods are fully installable through the updater, it is just that some people prefer to download the 7z's from casual sites.

It seems some of these packages are altered and therefore are incompatible with the updater.

The page six-updater is supposed to connect to is offline? Tried yesterday too with same results...

Thanks, please check; http://dev-heaven.net/issues/show/6835

And other related tickets. Please add your experiences and ill have a look!

Thanks for adding our server to the Stats page

[lNTRUDER 26]

Thanks for the praise and support!

We don't accept money for our work, because free work and freedom in design and development, is one of the pillars of our enthusiasm and commitment.

However, there are some costs involved in running servers etc, and even though there are donation channels for those, I am actually considering solving those costs in another manner, by non-intrusive google adsense...

So there's no-one paying for free development, and services that cost money can actually be paid out of free-generated money instead.

Big thanks for the offers though!

Supporting us, supporting your fellow players, finding/setting up rsync/http/ftp mirrors, and spreading the word of both ACE and the success and potential of the Updater Suite, is the best payment we could imagine :)

I hear you Sickboy and understand your point of view. I usually don't throw money at people for no reason but this time I thought I had a great one :)

However, like you said I will instead try to support the ACE team and the ACE / ArmA community in any way I can, trying to pay off my debt ;)

[sickboy 13]

Thanks!

@Terox: NP man!

Keep them servers coming!

Current stats (since early this morning):

ArmA II (53)

22 Mods, 8 Mirrors, 11 Servers, 537 Players, 44 Missions and 71 Played Missions

53 = currently playing, on registered servers. Almost diner time I bet :D

All registered servers can be joined directly from within the web-client incl. required mods, after synchronizing.

Also, mod feeds were updated, they are now properly stamped with when the mod was updated.

There's also a mods overview feed too!

first of a big thank you to the a.c.e. team and all the mod developers

involved. i haven't been able to playtest it a lot yet but as far as i can tell

ace2 is living up to the hype ;) i just can't imagine playing arma anymore

without being able to rest my weapon against stuff!

second i'd like to ask a little question. i've been trying to get another

soundmod to override the ace2 sounds but have found that it just doesn't

seem to work with all the basic rifles like the m- and ak-series. other sounds

like the movement sounds for example are replaced ok though. am i doing

something wrong or am i missing something? if not, are there any plans to add

an option like the one in ace1 where you could tell it to use "standard sounds"?

We have got ACE also working on our server.

Other relevant info about the server can be found HERE, its in Dutch language, but thats our goal aswell.

But it seems that there often error reportings about server version beiing newer than the client side. And the other way arround. Could update's perhaps be more organised? Say just once a a day on a certain time?

[Ringhejm 10]

since there is so many problems whit the updater, cant you please make the patches to be down loaded seperatly instede of we have to use the updater thing.

[sickboy 13]

@Killg0re:

Thanks will add the server!

Updating was set for (near)daily, 18:00 GMT, and always well announced. On the server site you can also hook up to RSS.

We have already declared Saturday as Patch-Free day, and are considering Sunday, and possibly other days, to further accomodate the wishes of the community, but not severely compromise the ecosystem.

Server-update automations in tight spots and simplifications are under way, for linux and windows.

since there is so many problems whit the updater, cant you please make the patches to be down loaded seperatly instede of we have to use the updater thing.

There were so many problems, and most if not all have been addressed.

The answer to your question is still the same. :) Read up on the background of the projects for more info.

The Lazy method: http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/ace-mod2/Lazy

Gets you setup in mere minutes. And people with problems either have not the latest software version, or have corrupt/incomplete archives.

See the various posts and tickets for more info.

When people post tickets, the problems are resolved usually within a very short time.

I'fe rescheduled (in task scheduler) the auto update time accordingly to 18:00 GMT, At 18:30 the server update's. It reboots 50mins later.

[=kct=blackmamba 44]

nevermind this post ill use the bug/issue function

hi i tried to use the ace mod and latest beta patch 61062 in singleplayer "campaign",

when i restart manhatten mission the plane getting us there keeps crashing in the woods near the LZ.

same happens in "scenario" trial by fire where the helo fly's to LZ, fly's by and hover's above the ocean.

in a second attempt it flew to the LZ and hovered 6mtrs above ground and locked so u cant get out.

I need help installing this , i download the 3 files from

http://ace2mirror.3para-gu.co.uk

now where am i suppose to extract them to , theres no instructions?

Also tried this six updater thing and says a error about missing config

can anyone help?, those youtube vids are useless as the text is blurry on the screen

Edited December 12, 2009 by Anddos

[Linelor 10]

I'm really impressed with the mods so far, but I'm only greatly bothered by two things at the moment.

For one, if you're going to make weight exhaust people at least don't over-exaggerate it. After 200 meters of jogging my well trained and conditioned, US Ranger with 20 kg of gear sounds like he's about to die, and if you go any distance you start to pass out. I like the system, it's just a bit too exaggerated.

And the only other thing is if you're going to add wind, don't make it change directions every 5 seconds. I hate figuring which way to shoot then the wind changes from SE to NW instantly.

Anyway, keep up the good work and I hope it improves, can't wait to see what yall do with it.

Few minutes and you should be up and running, unless the 3 files you downloaded are altered. Let me know.

Please close the browser, and even the web-client, if you follow this guide, you should run option 2 instead of 1, and you should be fine :)

http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/ace-mod2/Lazy

(Don't forget to download the configuration file and put it in the right place)

There is no readme file because documentation is constantly ongoing and improved

On the LazyGuide click on "Official ArmA 2 Beta", or "Vanilla", to download the preset you wish.

If you wanna use the Official ArmA 2 beta, pick the first.

Is the Windmeter already included or will it be released another time?
