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

Where can I find a download for the ACE sound mod? I followed the link on page one but I couldn't find anywhere to download it from there.

The same way you get the rest of the ace addons, through SIX updater...

That's not very helpful. I downloaded the original ACE and ACEX files and have updated from there. How would I use the SIX updater to get the sound mod?

use the web configurator to add the Acex_sm mod to your profile then run an update and it will download and update it. They updated the instructions, so look for the same help page you used to set it for the first time.

Definitely something broken in this last release, can't play custom missions here either.

Just hit Synchronize on the Main page of the six updater webpage. That's all I did and it was added to the updater.

Previous post, start topic;

Col, can't wait to see it! But one problem, I'm one of those guys that has web client issues (the internet page says DNS look up error every time using Six Updater - GUI). So I followed the lazy method to the "T" This method worked for me before the @ACE_SM, and @ACE_PLA came out. But now the Six Updater console opens for a second says something on the top of the window, but it closes to fast to read. From some\(little) DOS experience I've had, it's usually something wrong with a command line, but I don't know. Did alot of reading trying to figure it out, but all I could find is the Lazy method, and "" Or if you prefer the console: (Requires six-updater.yml configuration file, either from 'lazy method', or after once web-client, main, "execute" or "save" Without Autoskip) "" . Says their the lazy method works with out the web-client, worked before. I followed it to the exact instructions, and used the six-updater.yml supplied on the page for Arma Vanilla. Any else one try the lazy method? Or can help please! Can't get in multiplayer Ace2 with out it, and that would be very bad for me!

One other thing, the old Six Updater, was replaced with the current 0.4.4.....The old one worked fine. Could some one get it to me? That may worked, or some thing over looked in the new updater for web client issues?

And I noticed the new "" Default location: C:\users\{username}\appdata\roaming\Six-Updater the .yml "" that the six-updater.yml, and latest Milestone release (".7zipped modfolders") go in to so thats not it..

The only thing I can think of is, I did not delete the old appdata\roaming\Six-Updater folder from the previous updater. I think the new updater installer would over write anything in their>

Also found this in my reading "" Console¶

(Only works properly after once web-client, main, "execute" or "save" Without Autoskip) ""

Please make a screenshot / attach logfiles; http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/six-arma-updater/Bugz

Update: Please try enabling legacy mode: In the program files\six-updater folder, create a new text document (.txt), and name it legacy

Save your six-updater.yml into the program files\six-updater folder (like before the changes), and then run the console.

Update2: The new six-updater-setup-0.4.5 has improved exception handling; it is recommended to give it a spin; http://dev-heaven.net/projects/list_files/six-arma-updater

At least the windows should remain open for a while on error.

(If you tried legacy.txt before, after installing the new version you'd have to make the file again)

Six-updater 0.4.4\0.4.5

Is forcing run web-client, results of look up error. What happened to the options? option 2. Run upater, not web-client. The Lazy method is the only option that worked for having web-client issues. And now not possable! How do you make a screen shot of your monitor?

Attaching log file/Bugz. Old Six Updater was better with options. "" Console¶

(Only works properly after once web-client, main, "execute" or "save" Without Autoskip) ""

I THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP, can not do multiplayer with squad with out this.

Legacy did not work, that was a blank or empty text document named legacy.txt

Man the old one was fine, worked well if having web client issues!

I've been advised by friends to use AddonSync2009 http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8219

my apologies for not spoon feeding you readily available information.

[AndresCL 10]

Sounds loads of more fun. I saw the ace_sys_nuke being added, but how exactly do I use it? Script launcher or should find "1337-nukz0r" form editor somewhere? :p

this setVariable ["NUKES", 1];

I think thats the variable, it goes into the EASA module init line

You need to turn off autoskip at the updater website. There's a box next to each mod on the set up page for autoskip.

or more info search this thread or the ACE2 Beta1 thread. It's been discussed.

You're right, it sure is readily available info. Unfortunately some people would rather be spoon fed. I've actually seen it on these forums before. ;)

You don't need to be a dick about it, you know. I was trying to get something to work and could not figure it out.

[manzilla 1]

You may want to check the original release thread as well. I think it's discussed at the end of the Beta 1 thread. A few people, myself included, had the same thing occur when I was trying to DL ACEXPLA.(Or maybe it was the sound mod as well.)

EDIT:

This should work:

Go to this page via the updater(option 1):

http://localhost:16333/main/index

Next, directly below the "Execute" button there's a box checked "Autoskip". Un-check that box then hit "Execute".

The next time you start up the Updater and hit option 2 it should stop saying skipped.

Just hit Synchronize on the Main page of the six updater webpage. That's all I did and it was added to the updater.

Yep, it's working now. Thanks. I only ever used the web client once, and it only installed ACE and ACEX; I'd been using the instant updater every time since then, so I never got the PLA or SM.

I was in the same boat as well. Glad I could help. Enjoy! :)

Are there any plans to fix the horrible wind?

[Alex72 1]

I just noticed that i lose 15 FPS with ace, just tried same settings in 2 servers that run the same mission, only difference is that one has ace the other doesnt, ACE = 20 fps, vanilla = 35 FPS, exactly the same settings (including viewdistance) :confused: is this normal ?

ACE uses enhanced AI (smarter AI) so that will eat a bit more CPU. Different for everyone though ofcourse. But this is normal.

Having problem with sniping?? :D

Latest ACE version give me some weird stuff when using battlefield clearance module and AEwounding system module. Dragging a wounded AI made him start spinning high speed around my feet and i pissed myself from laughter. I then later tried carry one and he did breakdancing on my head (spinning around my head) haha.

I never really knew exactlly what the situation was so i havent ticket this. Need to check it more.

lol Did you try grope them, or touch their pudic parts in any way?

If not, the you should ticket this ;P

[pravania 10]

Up dated the new ace to the second beta and when you try and go "playerble as gunner" in either a lav25 or the PLA light armour you spawn wat is like in preview mode out of the vechicle. You can't move or anything. Also when you just leave it as non playable the AI is unable to shoot in the gunners seat

[Chris_Hun7er 10]

Is there anyway to disable #define ACE_NOCROSS? I tried putting // in front of it and it isn't working. It says to look in the ACE2 wiki for possible selections and I'm not finding it.

[HateDread 13]

As I try to download ACE using the 6 - updater, the download freezes on "Trying rsync://_____________", where "_" is a server name. How do I get it to actually download? It either freezes like this, switches to a new server, or says the server has reached maximum connections, switches to a new one, then freezes on it instead.

Help? ):

[cossack8559 10]

Using latest ace... noticed when i fire a mg for a while i lose all sound... but still have menu sound... running around for like 5 minutes with no sound is really annoying and stupid i think... could the loss of sound not be made much shorter or add a ringing noise for a few seconds? :( !

[sickboy 13]

@ Medic system questions: The effects are now active for AI afaik, but they are not yet able to heal yet afaik.

Manzilla: Second time; Don't disable autoskip!

*Only* If you have corrupt files or know your files are not up2date, you disable "AutoSkip", but it only does _anything at all_ if you click "Reset skip status", and then "execute".

In all other cases, leave autoskip enabled and hit execute in web-client, it will verify your modversions vs the ones that were received during synchronization (so if you synced already in past 30 minutes, but a new version was just released, you should just manually sync once),

and saves you very much time, connections, and harddrive activity :)

Gonna try downloading a set of the files manually, then updating that to the most recent.
