A.C.E. Advanced Combat Environment - Public Beta *2*!

[Kristian 47]

So I saw updater adding file addons/ace_sys_nuke.pbo or something, someone want to tell me how it works? :p

(I used search on this thread, found nothing about it)

[noubernou 77]

so the PLA are independents? why are they not OPFOR?

The US and Chinese have mixed areas of interest, some that benefit both sides, some that only benefit one side. The same goes for the Russians and Chinese. Since you can choose which side the independents fight for in the editor it gives the mission designers the most flexibility to create missions based off of different political situations.

Who is China more likely to get into confrontation with (disregarding Dragon Rising)? America or Russia? Besides, it's a moot point anyway; you can group units to a leader that doesn't exist of whichever side you want, and technically have 2 platoons of PLA fighting each other!

You can say that again for the US and Russian relationship. However, the Russians are considered OPFOR? Realistically the Chinese Government is not allied with the US. They should automatically be considered OPFOR:D

What has this got to do with ACE2? So what the Chinese are put on Independant side, the idea is that it makes any situation more possible

I don't undertsand, whats the problem with giving us the freedom to create any scenarios :confused:

You want PLA to be aligned with Opfor -easy as 1 click. You want PLA to be at war with Russia -also 1 click.

It's best the way it is because freedom for mission design trumps all.

I think Independent is an excellent way to go. It seems pretty reasonable to me. Besides, fromz has explained his reasoning in the past. The man is Chinese, so in my opinion the side designation should be left up to him anyways. What ever he's comfortable is fine with me.

It seems fitting though. For as long as they've been around the Chinese have always prided themselves on their independence from the rest of the world. They've done a pretty damn good job at it I might add.

In a nut shell. Damn good point bud!

hey boot, yes you are correct, but it will probaby result in conflicting matters with units that are more likely to be a true independent, than a unit that is realistically going to be in oppositon.

What if I want to be aligned with Russia in my 'Dream' scenario?

I do have to say Manzilla you have made the best argument out of them all. It is true that the Chinese's do take pride in their Independence. I can just see maybe some conflicts occurring in mission making in the future.

And I was not aware of fromz and his explanation about the situation, he is the creator of this work, and if he has reason behind it then yes it should stay that way. Thanks for clearing it up.

Yeah I was trying to find it for you, sorry I couldn't post it. Now that I think of it, I believe he posted it in an A1 thread. I wish I could find it. I'll keep looking though.

For sure though, personally when I think of the Chinese that's usually my first thought. Hell, they invented gun powder way before and completely independent of the west. Along with just about everything else. ;)

.

What does that have to do with the PLA mod? I assume that by saying you want to be aligned with Russia you are meaning the US? That has nothing to do with this mod. You can be aligned with whomever you wish by scripting but the point of this debate was why was PLA released as Independent.

I was actually worried that the PLA would be released as Opfor because I really like the idea of some Russia/Pla conflicts (I'm Amercan, but thats been done to death).

I don't see @ACEX_PLA in available mods on six updater website, why is that ?

I dont think this issue needs to be taken any further than it has gone, and this thread is not about arguing. I posted my issue and reason behind it so if you have a problem go to http://dev-heaven.net/home and put you comments in the issue ticket. :D

First synchronize. Either click main, wait until done. Or Click configuration, click synchronize.

The mod's already attached to A.C.E. Mod Presets so just go Main, execute after that.

[manzilla 1]

I just went to the home page of the updater and hit execute. It added ACE_PLA. Just make sure the Autoskip box isn't checked, it's just below execute.

I hope that helps. It's the only way I could get it to DL.

[demonlord89 10]

I reinstalled sixupdater because of issues. When i try to launch the GUI sixupdater it says it "could not open database". What to do now?

You should leave autoskip enabled. Only disable it to reset skip status if you think your files are not correct/complete.

Make sure you install the latest version, if you still have issues, please create a ticket and attach logfiles.

You can also click Configuration and then Synchronize (under the login fields which you leave empty). Your mod list will synchronize with the server, then you can edit your download profile under Configuration - Presets and add the mod that you want, hit Update and then execute that.

It can be done easily in the editor, you only need a trigger activated an write in the init line:

WEST setFriend [EAST,1]; EAST setFriend [WEST,1]

And you'll have Russians and US Marines arm-in-arm drinking together while watching the go-go girls in Chernogorsk ;):D

[Steakslim 1]

Question. When I go to the web based client to update my presets, and I save them in the MAIN page, it does not update my yml file, it says it does, but the actual yml is untouched.

[sickboy 13]

The app saves in the new location:
