Advanced Combat Environment (A.C.E.) 2 - v1.0 stable

[Laertes 10]

I've tried a few times now to get the laser designator to work like it does in vanilla arma but I'm having trouble and searching I find no info.

Used to be you just place a spoter and friendly air units look for the laser and target it. Now with the kestrel 4500 they just ignore it. I've tried syncing, grouping, manually telling them to target the laser, etc and no luck. I've given the command to target laser, engage laser. The helo will call out the laser as an enemy laser but will never shoot. It makes my old demo of the designator not work:confused:

The way it used to work

Any advice would be great as it's almost theraputic to watch shit explode where I point.

The Kestrel 4500 is a compass ;)

And its a wind measure device.

In other words it's a little better for sniping then it is for calling in air strikes. ;)

It was mentioned somewhere that the "attachment" system was working, it switches the weapon to the desired one, but it gives you a brand new ( full ) magazine, so just taking away acogs, silencers and putting them again you get infinite ammo, so i was asking if there was any scripted workaround for this in the work or if the project was dumped :)

I'm not sure if i made myself clear tho

There were issues that the magazines got cycled, so there was another magazine with the highest ammo count loaded.

Thats not an issue anymore.

Edit: ^^^ woops, didn't see that one, it wasn't there when I pressed quote :p

This has been fixed for some time.

Try to fire half a mag on the M16A4 with ACOG, f. ex, and then switch to the cqb mode and it should have the same amount of rounds left.

Well obviously they don't function as I thought.

Adding the laser designator in the editor gives the GLTDII SOFLAM which doesn't do it either.

Anyone know how to do it? Was this feature removed from ACE or is it only made a little more tricky to execute?

Check the howto and Keys sections.

I've seen that and looked over it once more. It doesn't explain how to make a unit engage the laser. It used to be they would shoot at anything you lased. A house, empty vehicle, friendly units, etc. Now no matter what I do they engage on their own terms and do not fire at all if they dont see enemies. The old way was so easy. Any OPFOR air unit would destroy anything you lased.

[manzilla 1]

I thought it still did that. Hmmmm, odd.

EDIT:

I can confirm that I can still get planes in the air to automatically engage targets when I have them lazed. I just whipped out my SOFLAM in my example mission and the randomly patrolling A10 took out the targets like clock work. They usually make 2 passes and then blast em on the 2nd.

That explains why.

I.e.:

Chronological focus of units and equipment

* 2007 - 2010.

* Exceptions for non-common equipment used by non regular armies such as insurgents.

* Limited assets due to required models.

hey i noticed in the six updater page under the ACTION area. it says to install or update/process keys... I'm sorry for this but, what are process keys? and what are they used for?

I think the keys are for MP I believe, maybe something to do with servers. Not too sure though, I only play SP.

If you look in the @ACE directory there's a folder called keys. I think it has to do with those.

I'm also getting the "fnc_bmd_init.sqf not found" error at startup. I looked inside the acex_c_veh_bmd1.pbo file and the script is there and it appears to be named correctly and everything. I did a comparison to the original BMD1 release by OKB O915 and the file pathing is the same with the exeption that in the ACE version, fnc_bmd_init.sqf is in the "root" and the other scripts are in a \function folder, but on the original all of them are in the \scripts folder as well. Obviously this was a deliberate change, but would it have anything to do with the problem?.

So it's there, and the name matches, and I can't figure out why ArmA2 says it's not found. Any help? Did I miss someone saying this was a known bug? Sorry if I took up the space, but I searched first :D

P.S. The BMD still works (tried it in the editor), but it has a few glitches. When turned out, you can't move your head in 1st person. Also an unrelated bug: I'm getting no voices. Is this deliberate due to the ACEX sound mod? It sure makes tank commanding easy -- like driving the tank yourself! But it seems unrealistic.

Maybe it's discussed before but I was wondering why you guys were working on new mk46/M249 versions while I remember seeing Scubaman post this: http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=1234589&postcount=3083

What happened to those babies as they look better than the ones you showed last week or so (no offence was just wondering:rolleyes:)

Anyway keep up the great work!

Those may be property of BIS now. Maybe we'll see them OA. :)

I asked this a few pages back and it quickly got lost in the chatter so I went to another forum where Evil_Echo quickly answered that "process server keys" takes the add-on keys from the installed mods and places them in the "keys" folder .... and deletes the old keys. A very nice feature to have!

[sickboy 13]

The actions are described here atm http://six.dev-heaven.net/wagn/Six_Updater_Suite+Commandline

I'll try to keep improving them docs though :)

Glad you like them features :)

I got a Q about the Jav if i load it and look through scope all I see is the reticle but looking at mando missile thread he has loads of options around the out side of the screen?.

Do I need mando missile thingy installed or am I missing some thing?.
