ACE 1.5 Beta (Advanced Combat Environment)

[mrcash2009 0]

I havent delved to much into the recent encarnation of ace for OA, but I have to say just the simple things like heavy gunner fx, earplugs, ear ring etc are such a nice touch (all though I realise nothing bran new).

The latest things like stance indicator are great, could it be managed via config on/off only, without then also having to enabled with a module? Could map tools also be config switched other than init line based?

Also the weapon switching with F/Shift f ... i mean, these things should have been harcoded via BIS from the outset, so much better to handle.

Its a shame that some of these little things are ace dependant becuase they are so usefull to have simply by themselves, very nice features.

I know it will never happen but some of the ace "little things" would be nice to have as an ACE_LIGHT package of modular PBO's. Not saying i wont use ACE but just a thought.

If anyone was to ever make an ACE lite version, it would just result in endless arguing as for what should be and what shouldn't be in it, and nobody would ever agree on anything unless you play in a very small group. Therefore unfortunately I don't see much point in such a thing even if someone does have the time to put in to make it.

I know it will never happen

An important part of my post, and knowing this thread I pre empted it :)

I pretty much never feedback or post here anymore for ACE becuase it is a bit like a lions den in many ways :) I just take what comes with updates and say nothing as much as possible. Having said that these few very small features that have arrived are very nice.

Is it possible in ACE to lift a AH-64 Apache with the Chinook? I tried it and i didnt succeed. Is it simply not possible to transport any Aircrafts?

Thanks

How can I disable the blackout effect in the airplanes?

Thats so unbelievable annoying. It´s not possible to fly anymore cause the whole

Screen is black. It´s to sensitive!

[PuFu 4591]

use a pilot class for flying, instead of a normal rifleman.

[WaffelO 10]

I use the air units. No empty ones.

So there are pilots in the Jets.

Yeah I made a ticket for an always on Option for the stance indicator, And the fanboys (that cant read) are shooting it down (I guess they don't like Options).

Well yes i did have a look at your ticket, the way that unfolds is "exhibit A" of why I dont try. :)

[SPC.Spets 21]

can anybody tell me how to use the mil dots of the rifles (Shift+V) to adjust it with mouse wheel or something instead of typing the numbers please?

anyone knows?

[manzilla 1]

Can someone with BAF try to place an IED on the ground from an Explosives Stash and tell me if they have the same problem as me. It's not possible to place them if they are in the inventory.

Here's my ticket at DH but I'd like to get a confirmation as well:

http://dev-heaven.net/issues/13541

I'm using the latest ACE2 build and tried both the most recent OA patch and the beta.

anyone knows?

Isn't the ACE2 version disabled for now? I didn't know it is possible to use it with such a set-up.

[gunterlund21 10]

did ACE change the names of the Arty shells. The R3f ARty system doesnt work now since the last update of ACE to 391.

[Nicolai 10]

Ace did not change them, The BAF patch interfered with R3F system I believe

EDIT:

please check R3F next time

I Knew about that and I thought it was still working until I uploaded 391.

It seems like the auto rotation feature for helicopters has been removed in the latest versions, was it removed for fixes to be added back in future updates?

[zeroxox2 10]

okay so iv searched this thread and i havent really found what im looking for so...

can some one explain what the modules do and how they work

[Component Actual 10]

OMG I feel like I am beating my head against a wall trying to use six updater. I have been getting an error forever using ACE saying that I have an out of date ACE Keys.HPP file and ACE User Clientside.hpp file. So I decide I will use sixupdater to "process user configs" thinking this should take care of it. But after an hour of clicking on everything I could possible think of in six updater in going in a thousand circles I am about to throw in the towl.

I can add the action "process user configs" to the preset I am using but...

THERE IS NO WAY TO REMOVE THE DEFAULT OVERRIDE ACTION "INSTALL OR UPDATE"

It is driving me absolutely nuts. Is there anyway to get a direct download of ACE 1.5 yet or are we still stuck using Six Updater?

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

LOL, it just get more rediculous. I finnaly get the "install or update" overide action removed by blind luck, and am able to run the updater using the "process userconfigs action" but Six Updater only update one of the 2 files which are out of date according to the in game error message.

[PTV-Jobo 820]

Why not use one of the Yoma server mirrors, like KH or something? Works like a charm. Super fast and you don't have to worry about fiddling with settings and stuff just to get a download? ;)

[Component Actual 10]

Okay, figured it out. Once I finnaly got six updater to run, it did update both files. I was looking at the wrong directory the first time. (I two different installations on different drives)

[stubs 10]

Ok i think i found a big bug, STRYKERS & M1A1's are indestructible (still testing more Armor), The Javelin is not even scratching the paint lol.

Can someone confirm so we can make a ticket ?

Thanks

Raise a ticket about it at http://dev-heaven.net/projects/ace-mod2. I've confirmed that the strykers are unharmed by AP shells, but if the Javelin is a problem to then you should add to my ticket called "stryker armour" under bugs.

[galzohar 31]

Make sure you're above the minimum range of the javelin (iirc 80m in OA, used to be like 250m in vanilla), or use a different AT weapon. In Arma 2 if target is below minimum range, instead of missing the target, the missile simply explodes prematurely doing little to no damage.

Of course if that wasn't the issue then a ticket is probably needed ;)

[sick1 13]

Can some one help me find the class list for the 417's. I cant find them on developer heaven.
