Maybe a preset change in six updater is a good idea? Having the Vanilla Arma2 preset have 373 as the latest ACE version along with the others, CBA, ACEX etc. I can see many people f***ing themselves over by updating (like they always have through six updater) before seeing this thead. Maybe even a whole new versioning start for ACE_OA would be good?

Yup, there are new presets just for OA. Hopefully people take the time to realize this fact.

History tells that they wont. ;)

Sickboy said there will be most likely warning messages in the updater if you don't have OA and trying to update ACE anyway... Where are those warnings?

Im am thick so please bare with me here :P

I have ARMA 2 with latest version of ACE 2 1.3.

I all so have OA now both of these are dvd`s.

Can I install ACE 2 1.5 for OA using six updater without it messing up my ARMA 2 ACE 2 1.3 install so basically have ACE 2 for ARMA 2 and OA as my mates who I play online with dont have OA so I still need to keep the ARMA 2 ACE 2 functional but would like to test out OA ACE 2.

Thanks

The Vanilla preset still contains the same mods though so if someone tries to update vanilla(not knowing that dev is finished for ArmA2) it will take it to 376, 253 etc.

Thanks for the goal to bring all ARMA2 factions equip to ACE_OA, inc TI etc..., that especially makes me happy to read. :)

For now what you could do is rename ACE, ACEX, CBA(?) etc to ACE_A2, ACEX_A2, etc then copy the contents to new ACE, ACEX, CBA folders, and then update with six updater. May not be necessary though so wait for Xeno.

I'll do so (renaming), so nothing will be destroyed in any case ... i'm not in scripting etc. in order to fix it for myself and don't wanna consult Ace-Dev's too many times ;)

so me, going the safe way until all is in line and more clear :D

good job, ace-team, thx for all and for lifting OA aswell ... and hey, it's just been released so you're very quick on it => GREAT

Very nice,

I see there's only armoured units available in all the ACE categories - Is that intentional whilst your converting them or is my installation botched?

I’m wondering the same. And the range finding with the helicopters doesn’t work right, at least with the AH64. ***

* Why doesent IR vision work in the Cobra? Is it work in progress?

* Why isn't there a Beta preset for OA in Six updater?

The T72:s are indeed removed

Congrats on the release and bravo for getting it out so quickly!

I'd like to know how SIX updater will handle the whole ARMA2 Steam and OA Steam scenario, since they are found in separate folders.

Which preset should be used?

Does this preset install to the ARMA2 Directory (where mods will not be able to be loaded through the normal method) or the Arrowhead Directory?

Pretty much the same as the last question, does the preset actually destinguish between the Steam and non-Steam installations? (CO non-Steam and CO Steam install very differently)

Cheers,

Frohman

Edit:

Noticed ACEX_SM in the presets, has this portion of ACE been already updated for OA's new weaponry? If so, you people mustn't sleep or something ... D:

What I am seeing/hoping for in the future is everyone running OA only and ACE_OA bringing in RUS and USMC factions so T90, BMP3, LAV, AAV etc. So we will have everything we have now in ACEX 1,3. But better, and probably without CDF and CHDKZ, running only OA so no CO messing around.

That's normal, these guys aren't robots, have patience.

I’m wondering the same. And the range finding with the helicopters doesn’t work right, at least with the AH64. ***

* Why isn't there a Beta preset for OA in Six updater?

This version is a beta, OA has been out for like 10 days, these guys need to sleep, etc, they are not robots, expect more stuff to be added in future updates.

Remember, it took like 5 months for the first public release of ACE2 for ArmA II, and look at everything that added, a lot of this takes time.
