What files should you have in your Six updater Folder?

I will tell you what ones.....

First of all, do NOT download the standard ACE CORE file... it doesn't update

Download this one...

Ace Core

http://armaholic.fr/arma_2/modules/ACE.rsync.7z (Comes up as invalid, please goto here first): http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8602

Then scroll to bottom of page and click on that download link called: rsync folders: ACE.rsync.7z mirror 1

THEN, follow this step, "RENAME the zip to @ACE" then press enter.

Then put that file in the Six-updater folder

Download:

ACEX from:

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8603

Then just put that zip just how it is in the Six-updater folder

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

Do not worry about the @CBA folder, it is best to let the Six updater download it, itself.

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

For the web interface steps on how to first install Ace so it can update the folders, please use the read me until I can be bothered writing a Tutorial lol

Hello Solar

I made every step u mentioned but for me it doesnt work :( still freezing on @cba dunno why. and its weird cuz ruby gems has been uptading normally. just fuckin @cba...

Hey dude...

Delete your @CBA folder out of arma 2 dir and out of your Six updater dir.

Delete the .pid file

Then follow the steps on my last post about which Ace file to have... should work then.

These files will not be used by the updater, unless you rename them to their original names

ACE.7z. :)

Ace is good, just tried it , needs polishing though, The Frogfoot GSk cannon sound is broke, Am loving the interchangeable weapons though, that really is a nice touch. What wouldnt go amiss would be some precision guided bombs for opfor, like the KAB-500 or KAB-1500L, which are laser guidable.

If you have a reproducable problem with the cannon sound, add it to the issue tracker

ACE.7z. :)

I renamed the file to:

@ACE

Worked a dream, that's how I got the updater to finally install the latest updates without it pissing me off even more lol

You only need to rename that file to @ACE, @ACEX from armaholic is fine...

[nes4day 2]

[Solarghost 10]

Please can you give a more detailed description?

What steps have you done, what error was given?

Possibly take a screen shot and upload it to a free image service?

Cheers ears :D

[sickboy 13]

@Nes4Day; get the correct @ACEX folder from an official mirror, or delete the folder and simply run the updater.

And I have to thank you and your ticket system and other people giving me some ideas to try.

Indeed. Always enjoyed working with others, cooperation, everyone helping out in his playing field,

and when there's a little organization, standarization and tools specific for their purpose available, things just work, go quick and smooth.

It saves so much time and frustration!

I think I'd given up without a tracker and only working off this thread :P

Just remembered......

*

By the way, my ACEX ZIP did not have the .rsync thing in it either, it does not need it...

Try following some of our / my instructions by reading some other posts, and then reply.

Cheers

I have suggestion.

maybe better join any kind of IRC for example irc.deltaanime.net and create channel ACE2 instead of refreshing and posting on forum billions pages:)? huh?

(there is addon for firefox called chatzilla which is IRC client)

im waiting on irc.deltaanime.net channel ACE2

lol... very true, so many replies in this Thread about issues, it's actually quite hard for users to track the answers, who wants to rad through 100+ posts?

hahaa.... That is why..... it is often quite good to Learn about the ticket system.. It might even be a good idea to post something up as a sticky saying if you have any issues, please first go here...

http://dev-heaven.net/projects/six-arma-updater/issues

Read through,

If you have any other problems that you could not already find a solution for then sign up to the site, log in, then create a new ticket and keep track of it, alternatively you will get an email once there is a reply.

:p

[sickboy 13]

@Solar; Yea in theory that would work, but in practice, it hardly ever works :) People always take the most short route, and that is asking in the ACE thread (at least for them that seems the shortest route :P)

For me the solution is to throw every question into FAQ, and linking that back to the users, but things went too fast for a while :)

Very nice, I like the suggestion. I hope more people will follow it!

It would be helpful to feedback any real problems and workarounds found, to the issue tracker.

Just try the steps I wrote out, follow them carefully and try again, if you have any probs, post back :p

[Mizz 10]

in my opinion there will be easier to communicate writing on priv msg

im giving short tutorial to join IRC

1.download mIRC client or addon for Firefox called ChatZilla (addons->search->chatzilla [should be easy ;})

im using Chatzilla so next step will be about chatzilla's setting

2.in text box type /server irc.deltaanime.net

3.in text box type /join #ACE2

To Solar:

Im downloading @acex from armaholic and i will try ur steps ASAP after downloading:)

The message it gave me in the DOS window was "Warning: Folder already exists but does not seems to have a repository. Not installing"

BTW, can some one give me the class name for the AS-50 sniper rifle which I found in the Armory, or a link to the class names would be nice. Thank you.

Updater only supports official modfolders distributed WITH the .rsync folder. Either get one or delete the folder and run update :)

Please go back 1 or 2 pages and read my post about downloading the correct ACE CORE ZIP file and follow the steps I included.

Delete @ACE, @ACEX, @CBA folders in your (ARMA2 DIR), and

THEN

Delete your @CBA folder & Delete your @ACE folder in your Six-updater, and any .PID file that may have been created in your six updater folder.

Then try my steps,

Cheers :)
