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

[jasonnoguchi 11]

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

You need to include ACE and ACEX in the config website. You probably ran the updater without configuring the website thing.

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..

Wish ACE2 integrates RH's weapons like they did in ACE1. :) Currently unable to use CQB sights on RH weapons with ACE2.

ohh good find meatball! Looking forward to them defo, @jason you so right about how easy it is to update through sixupdater, i open it press 2 minimise it and leave it a few mins to update and then open it press enter and im all ready and updated

[haley86 10]

all three mods are selected for the beta preset, and it still only does the @CBA

[Meatball0311 79]

Well you can use RH'ers 416 addon which works great, except for the fact that you cant use CQB... so hopefully the wizards at ACE will implement this sooner rather than later. And yes that updater is a da shitz

Is there anyway we can get the beta patch to be updated as well?

[jasonnoguchi 11]

@Pauld, that's right. :) Its frustrating and hard to understand for a start. I believe sickboy will streamline the program a lot more in future.

[AnimalMother92 10]

can someone explain what the different letters in magazines mean? for example

ACE_20Rnd_762x51_SB_M110

ACE_20Rnd_762x51_S_M110

ACE_20Rnd_762x51_T_M110

The T is tracer, but what are S and B?

[Steakslim 1]

subsonic ball?

I'm just guessing here.

[An Fiach 10]

is it giving you any messages? are there folders already with those names?

[Chunk3ym4n 10]

Fixed.

Had a great time 2x today on TG's beta server with this. Thanks Ace Team

[Kalikorz 10]

Letting the updater go overnight to get all the acex stuff downloaded I got no web UI but I was ready for that (xp 64 bit users only???) dl'ed the 7z packs ran the updater once and then unpacked them into directory. Ran option 2 and have been watching it download stuff for about 4 hours since then. I am going to bed now I hope I didn't screw something up. Here's hoping I am playing by morning.

Thanks ACE, Mirrors, troubleshooters.

Description of freeze:

I have Visa, I have followed every step, but when it goes to download it says...

Processing: c:/program files/steam/steamapps/common/arma 2/@CBA/.rsync

Calculating checksums

Trying to rsync://zeus2.zeus-community.net/rel/cba/.

And then I leave it for hours and nothing happens... ?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few people were having this issue, the fix for this is the following:

Original thread:

http://dev-heaven.net/issues/show/6668#note-15

File link:

ftp://dl1.6thsense.eu/bin.7z

What to do:

Try extracting the following file, then put the 2 files that have been unzipped into program files\Six-updater\tools\bin

And give it another spin

Right click on the Six updater shortcut, run as admin...

press 2 then enter

-------------------

Before this, make sure you delete any .pid file in the six updater folder...

ake sure that the CBA folder, Ace folder and ACEX folders are ((NOT)) in your Arma 2 directory.

Put the Ace Core zipped in the six updater folder in program files

And also put the AceX zipped file in the same folder.

Delete CBA all together and let the Six updater down load it for you...

Please refer to the original install instructions for the inital stages of the set up.

Kind regards,

Solarghost

delete the mod folders from your arma2 drectory (@ACE, @ACEX, @CBA) then run the updater

[haley86 10]

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

I had the same (does not seem to be a repository) issue BigMorgan. Thanks for the idea of copying the rsync folder into ACE and ACEx folders. As deleting them did jack for me too. Now it's downloading a whole lot of stuff. Fingers crossed!

edit: hmm it seems to be re-downloading everything I already had (the .pbo's) except in .gz format. Whats with that?

And a Big Thanks to all the crew who worked on ACE2, from what I played with so far it's fricken brilliant! Great job!

A proxy to access your own computer? :o

Try http://127.0.0.1:16333/, the little command prompt window that says Rails 2.3.5 needs to stay open in order for it to work.

try deleting the pid file in the updater

Dear ACE people!

First of all let me express my deep gratitude for your amazing work,

I've been playing around with your mod non-stop for a few days now and it's absolutely stunning!

I wanna make a suggestion regarding an issue that bothers me with the game, which ACE mod hasn't unfortunately fixed (yet?)

and which still hasn't been addressed by nobody (at least that I know of ;)) -

The fact that explosive ordnance in game, e.g. mines etc. are not affected by nearby explosions,

nor are they likely to detonate when being shot upon.

Examples from real life:

.50 vs IED

Mark 19 vs IED

Now I had tried to solve this issue myself, but being a complete scripting newbie - it doesn't seem like it's going anywhere ;)

So, if any of you guys feel like this is something that can be solved easily, please go for it!

Keep up the amazing work!!!
