Popa 0 Posted December 7, 2009 Hey lads! Thanks for releasing this great mod. Lol, we're having a great time on GOL trying to figure out the updater. I think Fisgas has jumped out of his window (He LOVES ACE and cant get it to work) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1in1class 0 Posted December 7, 2009 Vary nice congrats on the release. Could we see in an update to make it much easyer way of installing this. Like an all in one dl file then just run it. Would be nice ta have an easy way of this cause it is a lot to get it running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrisgs 10 Posted December 7, 2009 Got to say takes the shine off he release for many people, i got it workig after hours of reading searching and downloading, Ace team have my respect for all the hard work and a great mod, but this way of distribution was a mistake and spoilt the release for many.

oldbear 390 Posted December 7, 2009 New and mirrors on Armed Assault.info Link to mirror : A.C.E. : Core (v 07_12_09) ACEX: eXtras (v 07_12_09) And of course link to needed CBA CBA: Community Base Addons (v 0.2.0) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nutlink 10 Posted December 7, 2009 Please keep an eye out for install/update procedures that do not complete succesfully, meaning you'll not have all files ;)Therefore downloading the 7z files and following the guide to use the updater WITH the 7z files, especially in the load of the first public beta release of the mod, is a really good idea :) Run the updater process again, it seems to have terminated early. That's the problem, for example with ACEX it says this: = @ACEX Already installed, trying to update... Updating, this might take a while, please wait. Calculating checksums Trying rsync://dev-heaven.net/rel/acex. Verifying packed files... Verifying unpacked files... No updates found Then the next time I run it, it says Many files mismatched <some number, it varies>, running full update on .pack folder. I'm not closing it early because it runs through then says "Press enter to close" or something like that stating that it's done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sickboy 13 Posted December 7, 2009 Will cook up a solution soon for the User limit reached, but not trying other mirrors problem there are :1. full pack mirrors 2. updater solution 3. yoma addons synk so, there is all sort of distribution for everyone's taste If not done yet I suppose adding the Yoma AS to the ACE2 BIKI Downloads page might be useful. I do hope y'all can keep up with our updates :D In any case, we designed the systems with 3rd parties in mind, providing their favorite means of distribution, for the public that wants them. I know the software isn't very userfriendly yet, but what it accomplishes is certainly worth it, you will see once we start roling out updates :) I am working around the clock to fulfill everyones needs as best as I can though.

instagoat 133 Posted December 7, 2009 Got it working, thanks to the people who helped. Mistake was that I didn´t input a server (You have to do this manually, it seems). I am wondering, if the current Beta is already supposed to add new Units, or only add the new ACE features? All Units are default right now, the @ACEX folder is empty after updating, and there are also no new sounds or visuals that I can discern. Is this correct, or did I make another mistake during updating? Thanks in advance for the feedback, and sorry if this was stated somewhere before and I overread it.

da12thMonkey 1943 Posted December 7, 2009 Userconfig\ACE mate @ACE\Userconfig are source files and should be left untouched ;) Right-o I was reading through the feature list and came across this: There are a number of masks and eyewear you can use during gameplay. Using this feature requires some setup in the ACE user config. * Balaklava. * Gas Masks. * Tactical googles. To protect you from dust kicked up by weapons fire or engine wash. * Sunglasses. Could you expand on how one would go about setting-up the eyewear/headgear? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeron 10 Posted December 7, 2009 can you tell me the servers this updater is trying to connect, to download the updates? As i dont have servers in presets by default Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fincuan 0 Posted December 7, 2009 No problems at all with aquiring it. I'm on Linux so I just grabbed one of the traditional downloads, 45 mins and done! Couldn't be much easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmarkwick 261 Posted December 7, 2009 In the spirit of user feedback: I think that for those of us not interested in MP gameplay that a simple file download option would have been welcome. I'm not exactly thick, but this stuff doesn't come naturally to me and it's taken a long time for me to get anything downloading, and I'm not sure it's downloading the stuff I asked for, I think that because I had existing CBA and ACE folders already that they're not recognised as repositories and so no downloading is happening. However I am receiving ACEX stuff, which ironically is the stuff I'm less interested in :) (although I did choose it as part of the download). Also it seems that I'm going to have to fiddle the userconfig folder too. So yeah. A simple file download option would have made this thread about 25% of it's current size ;) Also, @Sickboy: I am getting emails telling me there's something at ACE dev site for me to do, but I don't seem to have any access so I cannot do anything about it.

anc 0 Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) Just finished the download, when i try to run the game, as beta i get an erro "Error compiling pixel shader PSTreeAdv:0" Is this related to the beta patch?

Sekra 10 Posted December 7, 2009 The mission co@12_ace_op_cerberus.chernarus_1_00.pbo is named wrong. The version number is on the island identification part and it wont show up on the mission list unless you change the name -> co@12_ace_op_cerberus_1_00.chernarus.pbo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TRexian 0 Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) Sorry for what may be a trivial question, but I noticed in one download area that there was a specific CBA to download? The initial page doesn't specify what version of CBA (I assume the latest)? As I already have that, I just want to confirm what version of CBA is required. :) Thanks - sorry for any distraction on a rough-and-tumble day for ya'all :) with this and sincere thanks for this whole project! Edit: And on another trivial note, perhaps putting MD5s on the first post for the 7zip versions so we can check for any discrepency? :) Again, not a big deal, just an idea.

I had the same issue when I first tried, until I realized that I only had 76mb of the 500+mb ACEX file. What I have done for flawless installation: - download the 3 files - run the sixth updater installer - copy the 3 files into the update folder - copy the "lazy" beta version yml file posted in this thread into the updater folder - run the installer, option #2 - Change the generated shortcut to run beta\arma2.exe instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best regards I get a similar one saying: "Error compiling pixel shader PSSSSMSpecularAlpha:1" EDIT FIXED IF YOU ARE USING BETA YOU MUST CHANGE SHORTCUT: the shortcut created is wrong, you need to change it from this: "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2.exe" -noSplash -noFilePatching -mod=beta;@CBA;@ACE;@ACEX "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\beta\arma2.exe" -noSplash -noFilePatching -mod=beta;@CBA;@ACE;@ACEX Edited December 7, 2009 by ahmedjbh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
