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

Answered the core questions over at Compatibility

Thank you :)

And thats why its not going to happen.... :rolleyes:

I apologize Smurf. I love ACE. I use it almost every time I play multiplayer. I just don't like everybody saying that this mod or that mod HAS to be compatible. It's even gotten to the point where people have sent death threats in PMs over whether a mod would be ACE compatible or not. I admit it would be nice to have something like that, but it's not really practical. Once people start saying that their favorite mods need to roll into ACE, with the @ACE prefix attached to their mods, it becomes a "One mod to rule them all" thing.

On topic: I haven't had time to check recently, but did you guys fix the "flickering backpack gear" issue that alot of people had a while back?

[schaefferbmw 10]

Wow, I overlooked that small line, thanks Sickboy! I'm assuming that means that I can resume my saved SP campaign with ACE2? I tried it yesterday and it crashed to desktop, so I'm not sure whether it's a compatibility problem or I did something wrong during install.

Hello) Please Share information about new projects in the ACE (Russian Army) What will be added? :rolleyes: soldiers, planes, tanks, helicopters! (An72 Antonov :icon_question: )

Thx. Kesh

I don't think they did, was playing the other day with latest ACE build, having a hard time selecting ruck items.

[sickboy 13]

Our Ruck maintainer's just back from a small break, few days hopefully!

For some reason I can't use the ruck system at all. Get a rucksack on my back but cannot pack items at all. the button simply doesn't work.

I haven't added the no-stamina module or anything, what am i doing wrong?

[sabre4809 0]

They have to be in youre inventory first and it sometimes doesn't work when in briefing.

[Teliko 0]

Yeah, in mission, trying to pack items straight from my inventory - but they won't budge.

Im having a problem with the userconfig being outdated . . . at least thats what its telling me in game. I'm trying to record some footage in FRAPs but I don't want the "userconfig outdated" warning there, and of course I want it all to be up to date. I have v1.1, just updated this morning using six-updater. I chose Install,Update, and Process Keys, and when I opened the key files it said v1.1, clientside_config is v1.2, serverconfig and tracking are v1.0 . . . what am I doing wrong? The files are in my Arma2/userconfig folder too btw. I'm just stumped :(

[sickboy 13]

Ya need the "Process userconfigs" action instead, or manually unpack the latest version:

As the other thread was closed and Placebo said that we "should" continue here...please don't.

This thread here is about ACE2 and for people who have problems with (or praises aswell). Since i was starting the other thread, i guess it's up to me to say: do not continue discussion here, also do not agree to this post. I want this post remains the only one of that sort in here.

Thanks for you cooperation.

:EDITH:

The "other Thread" is back again, with a less offensive title.

If Sickboy agrees, maybe moving Smurfbf's and pAuthority's posts over there would be a good idea. Your decision, Sickboy.

Relax, not offended at all. :)

In the last post I said "And thats why its not going to happen" because I fully agree with you and the points you just made.

Sorry Myke, end of discussion.

[pAuthority 10]

Someone said in that closed "ACE kills com"-thread, that ACE doesn't fit Warfare. I disagree. Well, maybe not in vanilla Warfare. But if you make your own Warfare mission where you can set different parameters at the beginning, for example disable stamina, then it will rock. Just like Benny's Warfare which I mainly play. I do complain about helicopters and difficulties in giving targets to gunner, but many other things still rock. To me tank FCS, armor model, rocket launchers and backblasts are propably the most important thing about ACE. Oh, adjustable scopes too. And different ammunition fixes for weapons. And... list goes on. :)

in addition to this, I seemingly can't use tactical glasses etc. and alot of ACE features just seem to be disabled or not work altogether (eg. stamina). Have I missed something in installation? I've installed the userconfigs and changed my profile name as well, but...?

edit: fixed now :) strangely my install of CBA was screwed up so just copied in a new version.

My dad is away working and I cannot get ACE updated, as he usually does it for both our computers. I am not tech savvy and am lost. The updater skips all the potential updates and it seems what was a simple process before, requires some tweaking now that is beyond me.

[monkfish 10]

have to say the new tank catastophic explosion is excellent

i play single player and i dont think i would play as much without ACE

absolutely excellent mod andjust just to let you know it is really appreciated

[sickboy 13]

Due to popular demand, we'd like to present to you, Our Adjusted Update Schedule !

http://ace.dev-heaven.net/wagn/Update_Schedule

1 Update per week, Friday 18:00 GMT!

And 1 Stable Release per month!

[roberthammer 582]

Thats good , hope to fix the most bugs etc :)

[m1n1d0u 29]

NOOOOOOOO , bad news one udapte per week ... it's really bad ...

[cannonouscrash 12]

Nanthaka, If you are updating using the six updater

You need to make sure that the '@modname' isnt being skipped

To do this

1. Run the SIX UPDATER - GUI - Leave it alone to do things it does.

2. Click 'MAIN' Tab (may already be on that screen)

3. To the right hand side of the 'EXECUTE' button there is a tick box that says autoskip, Make sure its un-ticked.

4. Make sure you have the right preset on the same page.

5. Make sure the action is Install or update.

6. Click Execute.

If this doesnt work then ive just wasted 5 minutes of my life, Hope it helps man

[AnimalMother92 10]

:( awwww....

It was like Xmas twice a week.

I'm sure things will pick up post-Arrowhead :cool:

[sickboy 13]

It'll be a bigger x-mas once a week then :D

And yea, the idea is that we're past pre-release and it is less important to keep a tight schedule atm.

"Unless severe issues are found / hotfix is required", still stands obviously.

@M1nd0u: Maybe you could start including WHY you have the short opinions you have :)

@Cannon: Only thing missing from your list is "reset skip status".

One of the reasons why I always link to documentation instead :D
