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

[sickboy 13]

Sorry but that's untrue. Have a read on rsync: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync

Also see examples: http://six.dev-heaven.net/wagn/Six_Updater_Suite+examples (Or my posts in A&M Complete Threads; I usually include the transfer logs in spoilers)

And: http://dev-heaven.net/news/show/237

No need to run the web-gui if you prefer otherwise either: http://six.dev-heaven.net/wagn/Six_Updater_Suite+Commandline or more ACE specific: http://ace.dev-heaven.net/wagn/Installation+advanced

Also there's plenty of mirrors, if you know which are slow for you, disable them in Configuration -> Mirrors, and use the mirrors that are fast for you.

I'll agree to one thing though; The GUI probably _IS_ horrible.

If you have some wishes / ideas: http://dev-heaven.net/projects/six-arma-updater/issues

Working on Boot-Up speed too.

SVN has maybe a nice UI, but that's about it, superseeded by Hg, Git, etc :) http://whygitisbetterthanx.com/

I actually even started with Git but this has issues with large files, especially on Windows,

while rsync offers the same amazing delta compression, and is especially tailored for syncing lots and large files, efficiently.

Besides, SVN offers nothing for launching arma with mods, updating userconfig or key files, nor does it access gamespy, and allow you to join any server with automatically required mods selected if installed on your system or otherwise available on the network, and other things the Updater Suite does offer :)

Well, i prefer YOMA addonsync..

I find that to be easier for me..

No offence to the developers of 6-updater, but it's horrible.

Yes for people who doesn't bother read the documentation. Six updater works great for me and i get a good dl speed.

I highly recommend/suggest that the ACE developers switch over to SVN, due to more functionality, easier to use and doesn't require starting a program, waiting for a browser tab to open and then a slow DL to start.

I've also noticed that even when a small change is made, 6-updater seems to download stuff again (weapons etc, please correct me if I'm wrong).

SVN does not do this, it's also got a more fancy GUI <3

Rsync not only doesn't download unchanged files, it only downloads the diff between older and newer version. Huge bandwidth gain compared to... basically anything else.

Hello,

is it possible to add laser designator LD to Harrier/A10/Su bombs ? Of course they all got one irl.

So far there is LD only for some missiles, but not for bombs.

It needs to be userfriendly, it seems so messy at the moment.

In SVN you just right click on a folder and press a button, now you are updating.

6-updater is just silly in my humble opinion.

If you don't like the SIX updater use the Yoma Addon Sync repositories.

But one thing that will never ever happen is SVN.

I'm getting tired of reading the same bla over and over again.

Yeah, I hated 6 updater till I just sat with it for +/- 10 mins getting sorted, now it saves me lots of bandwidth and is actually easy to use.

I'll be happy to continue work on it, just give me something to work with :)

Here, you go, my addition. Apologies for the long-winded phrasing.

It needs to be userfriendly, it seems so messy at the moment.

Again, yes for those who can't be bothered spending a little time reading the documentation.

I always update through the web gui:

1. i start six updater

2. i click update

How non-userfriendly is that :confused:

[Typhoon- 10]

Wow, Sickboy, you resolved my earplug issue on the bugtracker very fast indeed! :D

Thanks!

and if your even more clevier a simple click on the console shortcut sit back and watch it download

The console updater checks everything while the web gui updater has the auto skip feature :)

I highly recommend/suggest that the ACE developers switch over to SVN, ...

ACE devs actually used SVN for ACE1, but moved AWAY from it because it was too bad (for the repository) to keep using, instead moving over to Git ;)

A.C.E. 1.2 RC1 Released! As promised (rSync mirror network in sync and awaiting your requests!)

• Release Notes
  
• Please see the first post for additional information.
  

Enjoy!

This release is also added to the Config Browser (Classlists).

Want to add my 2 cents to the ACE 2 team. WOW, and WOW and bloody AWESOME.

Thanks for all your hard work for us.

[SnR 1]

Wont be long before the needed and none needed ACE items for Arrowhead will be discussed, cant wait looking for some light weighted goodness;)

[sickboy 13]

You probably mean you'll see what you get once OA is out there :)

[Univ 10]

Sorry if I ask again, but Sickboy could you add laser designator LD to Harrier/A10/Su bombs ? They all got one irl.

So far there is LD only for some missiles, but not for bombs.

And maybe you could point me a better place to make sugestions :)

RC1 and Stable - is those probably the same files now?

Having a private LAN for 17 people this weekend but no internet connection. So I'm wondering if my efforts to provide ACE2 v1.2 would not be wasted for those guys?

Allready running stable 1.1

[sickboy 13]

1.2 RC1 and 1.1 Stable? No.

There's a big chance 1.2 RC1 becomes 1.2 Stable though.

@Univ; see first post.

[roberthammer 582]

Sickboy - now you can add those Scars?? It was somekind "Embargo" to not use it? now it ended?

[icebreakr 3159]

Sickboy: please let us know when 1.2.0 is out, we're updating our pack before tommorow's MP event.

[sickboy 13]

What really? Let you guys know once 1.2.0 Stable is released, who would've guessed :D

starting a program, waiting for a browser tab to open

Boot time reduced from 30-45 seconds to about 8 :)
