A.C.E. Advanced Combat Environment - Public Beta!

[BoxiouS 10]

Are the ACEX_SM download files the same as the originals? I noticed 'many mismatched files' when six was doin' it's thing and I'm not sure wether I need to clean up with the updater. Also I noticed someone mention the rifles not working with other soundmods used instead of ACE, is it safe to mix with VOPsound now that we can access the pbos (and does that have to include the rifles.pbo?)

Apologies if it's been covered.

Updater seem don't like me at all. I'm trying to change presets and I can only see:

 Showing vendor/plugins/active_scaffold/frontends/default/views/_list_record.html.erb where line #14 raised:

incompatible character encodings: UTF-8 and Windows-1250

Extracted source (around line #14):

11:     <% column_value = get_column_value(record, column) -%>
12: 
13:     <td class="<%= column_class(column, column_value) %>" >
14:       <%= record.authorized_for?(:action => :read, :column => column.name) ? render_list_column(column_value, column, record) : '' %>
15:     </td>
16:   <% end -%>
17:   <td class="actions"

and more wrong entries....

You need to add the soundmod to your list of mods on the six config site thing. It's called @ACEX_SM. :)

Hm i logged into the Page in my Config, but i cant see @ACEXSM Mod...

Can someone tell me the exact location? But i guess im right cause all the mods are listed there,not the new Soundmod..

Hit synchronize on the "configuration" page first. since you need to update the list of mods.

[blackpulpit 10]

were do I find the ACEXSMOD???

[TimRiceSE 10]

Here.

Run six updater, start the web client.

Click on configuration.

Click on synchronize (leave the username and password blank).

Mouseover configuration, click presets.

Click "edit" to the right of the profile you have been using. Beta in my case.

Scroll down to the "Mods" Section.

Select "@ACEX_SM" in the drop down list.

Click "Add Existing" Button.

Click "Update" button.

Click "Main" on the main menu.

Select the profile you just edited. Beta in my case.

Select "Install/Update" as the action.

Click Execute.

Edit: Run six updater as administrator in Vista/Win7

Encoding::CompatibilityError in Sixconfigs#index

This is what I get after "Mouseover configuration, click presets."

this is the first time I ever got this why?

[victim913 10]

I'll try again,

Why can't i eject after team switching to another vehicle?

The option is only there in my original vehicle once i team switch i can no longer eject.

Is there any game manual? i found out by accident that jets had after burners by pushing capslock. Any other hidden controls that aren't in the control option tab?

And any countermeasures or flares for aircraft?

And any chance on getting Army crewmen in the tanks?

love the strykers

ACE changes difficulty settings to expert. Just go and change it to regular and youll get it back. Or veteran(?) and turn crosshairs ON. Not sure that works though.

[CarlGustaffa 4]

Mediafire isn't working at all for me. Not able to grab that guide.

[tcp 10]

There's a client-side config for crosshair:

/*//////////////////////////////////////////////
CONFIG SETTING FOR : ACE 2 MOD - CROSSHAIRS
--------------------
FEATURES: Disables/Reduces crosshairs
---------

Possible selections as documented in ACE2 Wiki
//////////////////////////////////////////////*/

#define ACE_NOCROSS

Can someone else test this for me, as i'd like to know it's not only me that has the problem.

Place a unit in the editor (Blufor/ACE US Army/Men/Automatic Rifleman)

Go prone, continuously hold down the left mouse button (or whatever you use to fire) until the ammo counter reaches ~30

Then quickly go to kneeling position and fire off the last 30.

My guy gets a loud ringing in his ears and cannot hear anything , AT ALL.

No matter how long i leave him, he never gets his hearing back (Pressing ESC, i can still hear menu sounds etc, and no I'm not going deaf as i can still hear myself clicking the mouse button and my PC fan still running).

NO sound of weapons since installing the latest update 0.1.188?

It's simulating going deaf due to how loud an automatic rifle is. It does come back, sometimes it takes 10+ minutes, sometimes only about 2.

thanks sickboy

I made a mission in the past week.

- No complaints when editing it.

- Non-fatal error when opening it as non-dedicated multiplayer mission by myself.

- On ded server, people cannot join the mission.

The error that comes up when I open it as non-ded mp is "Addon acex_c_wep_rifle ... not found in the list of active addons."

I don't know what I did to cause it. Sometimes I see complains about the SKS and FAL rifles in Arma2.RPT, but I have no trouble using the guns or ammo in that mission.

Can someone tell me what I might've done wrong? I don't even know how to begin investigating further. More info in this thread: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=91926

This aint working for me. here is exactly what i done, i installed six updater, i copied the ACE, ACEX and CBA 7z files into c:/program files/six updater. I run the program and select option one then hit enter, it opens up the web browser, i click config and syncronize ( none of the random text appears for me), i then click the presets menu, select my moda as instructed and click update. The i click main, select my preset and action and click execute, it opens the 3rd dos window and it remains on this screen for hours and appears to be doing nothing. Can someone help me? please.

I just want this mod for single player custom missions, not interested in online play.

"TO ENABLE: Remove the "//" in front of the #define to enable the NO VOICE, NO RADIO CHATTER feature. To disable, think vice versa."

I want to get back my crosshairs while still playing on expert level in singleplayer and it says the same thing for the crosshairs, were do I do this because in my ace_clientside_config it does not have the "//" IN FRONT of the #define?????

do I change it in my @ACE folder in the userconfig folder or what, thanks all.

Did the dos window show the progress of updated mod? Or did it said no update find?

Also you dont need to put the mod 7zip file in the updater AFAIK, you need to extract them to A2 folder, yet you dont need to do this as long as you are using updater.

A few screenshot to highlight the problem would be helpful

[Meatball0311 79]

does it matter where the -maxmem=2047 goes in the shortcut target area I see some in the front before -mod and some at the end of the line.

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\beta\arma2.exe" -noSplash -noFilePatching -mod=beta;@CBA;@ACE;@ACEX;@six_aiaktalik;@ACEX_SM;@RH_M4_M16_HK416;@ADDONS;@C1987_M4a1_V2.0;@FAV_v.02 -maxmem=2047

Many ppl had issues with the 7z's because they were modified. They aren't required, but they do take the initial load off the rsync mirrors, and gives casual download site's the means to make em available too.

Both methods are valid; you can extract it manually (but why would you, or a basic user), and you can put the 7z's in the updater folder, where they will be detected :)

If you let the updater handle it, and the 7z's are broken, it will auto detect this and install anyway from the network instead.

Sounds like firewall / security suite issue;
