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

[An Fiach 10]

what is the current version number please? Can't seem to find it and just want to verify.

Also, Yuka, I pity you that your leadership would be such a-holes as to have gunners carrying their tripods rather than the AG doing it. I never got to use the m192 but it looks like a nice improvement and knocking 2-3 kg off of carrying weight is always good for the grunt.

Look here.

I'm having issues with my userconifg files updating.....I used the website as required to process the files but they're still coming up as outdated. Also when I try to change some of the key bindings for ACE in the key file, using the codes don't seem to work....the main problem I'm having is getting the bipods or resting the weapon on a wall or hood to work.

Hi i need your help : when we fire a nuke we haven't markers and fallout can you explain me the code or the way to have it ?

[Yuka 0]

Yuka, nice to see some info from a direct source, as I was just discussing the US Army field package weights with a friend the other day.

Just to double check, as I want to make sure I'm not misquoting in the future :): Are you sure that those weights are in kilograms and not pounds?

The 75 kg was the weight that I carried. I converted it from pounds when I made my post with the breakdown of the equipment that I carried.

Also, Yuka, I pity you that your leadership would be such a-holes as to have gunners carrying their tripods rather than the AG doing it. I never got to use the m192 but it looks like a nice improvement and knocking 2-3 kg off of carrying weight is always good for the grunt.

It was a misinformed leader at the squad-level that made the decision that AGs should only help carry ammo and that each MG would only have one AG on the basis that they didn't want to detract from the rifleman's capabilities when performing in the role of an AG - basically the leader in charge of the decision valued riflemen more than machine gunners... It happens - adapt, modify, and move on!

Lt. Chris, please add your latest details and findings to the tickets you mention.

RPT and details needed: http://dev-heaven.net/projects/ace-mod2/wiki/Bugz

As to my knowledge, the groups where we run ACE constantly in MP, have not had these issues for ages.

Thanks.

[blackpulpit 10]

will Ace use the new beta patch sometime soon in the updater? thanks.

Should be already working if you have the beta selected

After the fisrt not Beta release, what will be schedule for releases? Same as now?

[oxmox 73]

Are there any plans to restrict the respawn exploit to get gear for free ? I did play a game round on a desert island and the possibility with the exploit to fire with javelin/metin more than 3-4k was just stupididly overpowered.

The Barracks were clost to a hill, I did spawn a javelin or metin with 2 rockets, bought a jeep or 4 wheeler bike and placed more missiles into it.

So far so good, but when you just hit the respawn button you get another new missiles for free, you dont even have to pay for it. It was such a cheap gameplay to kill loads of vehicles in a fast time. (die play warfare mod)...

Well, you know, you don't absolutely have to use the exploit just because it exists :)

There seems to be an assumption that ACE2 exists as much to stop players doing stuff they don't need to do as much as anything else. Now, for anonymous MP gameplay, there might be something to that, but at some point players must take some amount of responsibility if they insist on realism. Respawn for a start - how realistic is that? ;) (Yeah I know - essential for *certain* gamestyles, but it doesn't really tally up with the whole realism-at-all-costs ethos that some people insist on ;) and as such, is outside ACE2 concerns IMO)

[tobmic 10]

Cheers new update !!

•Set player captive false after respawn, refs #8633 [Xeno]

that means i can safely remove all my mp missions with this in init.sqf ?

[] spawn

{

waitUntil {alive player};

while {true} do

{

waitUntil {!(alive player)};

waitUntil {alive player};

player setCaptive false;

};

};

[sickboy 13]

@DM: Either that or mission adjust towards a balanced gameplay, the way is preferred on given server. :)

Still if there's a valid reason to not reload units on respawn, I suppose there's something to discuss :)

Please confirm with one and let us know in the related ticket. Thanks.

What's the VS17 classname ?

[blackpulpit 10]

"Should be already working if you have the beta selected "

No I dont have it selected, I reinstalled Ace2 after the 1.5 patch and have it as my personal set up using vanilla. Looks like this on the updater "main" page...My personal Ace2 setup or something, can I simply run the beta?

ACEX_SM bisign doesnt work

[tcp 10]

Checked it with DSCheckSignatures, ACEX_SM bisign works fine.

[CarlGustaffa 4]

Is M4 aimpoint broken for anyone else? Place USMC rifleman who gets M16 aimpoint that workd. Place Army rifleman with M4 aimpoint without the dot.

Class "M4A1_Aim" seems broke.

Class "M16a4" seems ok.

[das attorney 858]

Yes - red dot is missing for me too. Was using the M4 CCO (aimpoint).

Edit: Tried another editor mission but the red dot came back(???) I got the nuclear screen thing when I shot a friendly unit.

Edited February 1, 2010 by Das Attorney

[CarlGustaffa 4]

I thought it came back for me too, but it turned out I had the M16 aimpoint, which does work. I've made a ticket on the issue.

The canister round for the M1 can have some funny side effects:

I could have used that in ARMA numerous times to right flipped vehicles. :)
