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

[AnimalMother92 10]

I think he was asking if the change was good or bad (meaning it had happened and was wondering what it meant), not that he changed it himself.

[HyperU2 11]

I just shot my entire store of 25mm sabot at the front turret and hull of an empty T-72A, and nothing happened.

It took almost 70 rounds to immobilize and kill the crew by hitting the rear and hull. 140 had no visible effect on the rear turret.

However, a handful of shots to the side turret armor have immense effect. I made the crew bail out in just 3 shots. So there's your glitch.

Yeah that's exactly where I shot, but I got a traumatic explosion.

25mm AP is nothing when you're fighting against tanks... That's what TOWs are for. IRL at least, and even with TOWs you're not supposed to use IFVs against tanks if you can help it. 20-50mm of armor and 400-600mm of armor is very different, not to mention IFVs are usually just steel/aluminum while tanks often use stronger materials.

Yeah I wish I had a TOW, I was in an M2 Linebacker, got lucky.

I downloaded SixUpdater and it's installing ACE right now. Does it come with the extras, the soundmod, and the additional army? How would I go about getting those? Do I just get the regular version of those?

I'm alway's lucky with ACE releases I get error when first starting game in editor/sp/mp playing as soldier or just poping out of tank/apc I get this message:

"sound ACE_Heartbeatscalar not found"

Im not using any other SOUND mods, I also have instaled ACE core 1.0

What to do?

You do realize there is pages and pages of documentation and posts explaining your questions. Search for answers before posting unless you don't mind not having your questions answered. Just a hint. Take care.

I'm not from yesterday. I searched Google and forums and couldn't find anyone having same problems as me. Ok.. only some Russian guy's have sam prob. but no direct answer found for problem with this startup error!?

[langgis08 10]

hi all,

at first: fantastic work @ ace2 - Team ! very good work, makes a fantastic game even more fantastic and challenging :)

playing sp campaign "harvest red" again with ace2, mp always with ace2 of course, no probs.

my mod-sequence: -cpuCount=4 -nosplash -world=empty -mod=@CBA;@ACE;@ACEX;@ACEX_PLA;@ACEX_SM

but one problem I do have: mini-campaign EW doesn't run with ace2, after loading the map (it's the last game-screen I will see of EW) and the mission briefing (reach "SPARTA" and so on) is shown -> then afterwards pressing "continue" is being followed by a black screen - in task manager arma2-process is still running, framemeter (ati tray tools) on black screen goes little up and down, fan of graphics card (Radeon 4870 @512MB, no oc) turns faster/louder but nothing happenes anymore except the black screen and task manager telling me everythings running ...

same experience with vista32 and xp32 ... i'm using latest version of ace2 (324), always updating with six updater, no problems at all with that.

arma2 is on 1.05, ati driver vista 10.2, xp 10.3 ...

Ram 4GB, amd phenom 9750 @2,4 (no oc)

does anyone have an idea ?

Tom alias langgis08

ps: EW runs fine @arma2 vanilla and with actual beta-patch

should I try to combine beta-patch with ace2 ? never tried :confused:

EDIT: having just tried beta + ace2: same effect : black screen always and forever with EW

Edited March 25, 2010 by langgis08
ace2 + beta = black screen, still

[manzilla 1]

Wow this is very strange. I have never had this problem. EW works fine for me. Did you DL the EW campaign hotfix? Not sure if that will make a difference or not.

Good luck.

[langgis08 10]

Manzilla, yes I've copied the 2 hotfix-files (missions_ew.pbo, missions_ew.pbo.bi.bisign) into "ArmA 2\AddOns" I did that right after installing 1.05, when it came out aound last christmas.

could it be that my gpu-memory isn't that much ? that could be a reason for my gpu-fan turning like hell, couldn't it ? I know that my specs altogether aren't state of the art, anymore :-)

[blaunarwal 10]

I want to use the

call ace_sys_spectator_fnc_startSpectator

command after I'm dead. It works perfectly with a trigger and

!(alive player) 

The only problem is how can I switch off the standard death animation of arma2. I want to use the spectator from ace2 with no red color and blur. The ace2 howto doesn't explain this.

Hope one of you guys can help me. Thanks:bounce3:

Not too sure about that bud. Would I wonder if ACE2 would cause that much more of a problem than A2 would. I wish I could provide more help but I'm stumped, my apologies.

[langgis08 10]

I've got it !

@Manzilla: thx for your interest in my problem, mate !

the problem was that I've ALWAYS been playing ace2 together with the beta-patch (the link on my desktop has always started arma2.exe from the beta-folder) and I (shame on me) didn't recognized until now (yes, I know, I could have looked down right for the arma2-version number :o ) ... so the whole chaos this evening wasn't for nothing, at least.

Finally, I got the clue by starting all ace2-mods via arma-launcher and not from my desktop-link -> and !!!surprise!!! ace2 + EW = :bounce3:

so I tried more and even ace2 + EW + rah66-mod = :bounce3:

conclusions for me: ace2 + arma2@1.05 =

but ace2 + arma2@beta-patch = :eek:

good night ...

I installed arma II and then the six updater

downloaded @CBA and @ACE , i run the six updater i do what the video tuturial says everything is installed but if i run the mod it dont want to run.

maybe i missed something

the six updater installes @ACEX - @ACEX_PLA - @ACEX_SM by it selfs

i copy a shortcut and i do C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2.exe" -noSplash -mod=@CBA;@ACE;@ACEX;@ACEX_SM like i have to but if i run it it says

include file userconfig \ace\ace_clientside_config_hpp not found.

hope some one can tel me what i did wrong

Please review http://ace.dev-heaven.net/wagn/FAQ

Game Issues, I get a Userconfig error when starting the game.

Otherwise;

Installation, How do I start the game with ACE?.

I reinstalling via six updater again clean from the updater it selves i hope this works it a whole diferent way to install a mod. i donwloaded every pack that i could find from armaholic but i got mismatches everywhere for some kind of reason i did or do it wrong.

maybe im just tyred or dumb :p

[-=Grunt=- 10]

Why not try YAS? I find it much simpler and user friendly than the Six Updater.

Heres a good tutorial for Yoma's AddOn Sync:

Here's one for devheaven: the ATGMs on the Su-34 are incredibly weak. They are incapable of penetrating even the side armor of a T-72, and it took 3 direct hits to do any damage to a BMP-2.

The force of the impacts, meanwhile, practically tipped us over, and the explosions were massive.

[blaunarwal 10]

That doesn't help with the problem. It does not work or is not clear how to use it.

How has the funciton to be called (arguments)?

How is this used ?

nil spawn ace_sys_spectator_fnc_startSpectator;

In a function too? Tried that, nothing happens

That's because the Kh-29 isn't an ATGM, it's a tactical missile for use against large and/or fortified targets. It doesn't have a shaped charge warhead like the maverick, but an HE blast 'head that's actually bigger than a GBU-12's.

There will be some changes in how HE damage is applied against armoured targets in the next update, but I dare say none of the crew would've survived the blast :)

You were right, please change nil to [].
