Steam OA ace trouble

[Desmo 10]

Hey, and sorry if this is the wrong place for the post.

I just got OA off steam, and i want to add ace to it.

I already got arma2 from steam, installed ace, without any problems.

Well, installing ace was no problem, but starting the game is a different story.

Have tried redoing the shortcut, moving arma2 folder into OA folder, but im kind of stuck.

Error message as i start the game

extended_eventhandlers requires addon catracked2aav

does not happen when starting vanilla

error message at menu screen

no entry bin\config.bin/cfgvehicles/land_fire_barrelscope

error message when joining us socom server

you cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependant on downloadable content that has been deleted.caweapons_ammoboxes

arma 2 version 1.07.71750

ace 1.5.0.380

OA 1.52.71612

any advice on what to try next?

Please pm me :)

Hi.

You don't need to move your ArmA2 folder.

If you have Steam version ArmA2 + ArmA2:Operation Arrowhead, need to take a look inside your ArmA2:Operation Arrowhead folder and start the file named: _runA2CO.cmd

It will start your ArmA2 as ArmA2: Combined Operation

As i can see you want to run ACE for Operation Arrowhead so you have to install ACE for OA into your ArmA2:Operation Arrowhead folder and add -mod for your ACE folder and CBA.

You can do this. Make a backup of your _runA2CO.cmd and name it _runA2CO_ACE.cmd then edit _runA2CO_ACE.cmd.

Find the line:

"%_STEAMPATH%\steam.exe" -applaunch 33930 "-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;EXPANSION;ca"

Replace it with:

"%_STEAMPATH%\steam.exe" -applaunch 33930 "-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;@CBA;@ACE;@ACEX;@ACEX_SM;EXPANSION;ca"

Not sure how many folder ACE have but i think is ACE, ACEX and ACEX_SM and it need @CBA

After that you can start your _runA2CO_ACE.cmd just double click on it.

Hi masters,

I'm want to run in combined mode , but the problem here is the message in dedicated server startup:

"Addon Extended_EventHandlers requires addon CATRacked2_AAV"

My server.BAT is

arma2oaserver -config=Server.cfg  -mod=@CBA;@ACE;@ACEX;@ACEX_SM;@ACRE;@JayArma2lib;W:\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2;EXPANSION;ca;

What's the problem here? CBA?

PS. I fix it. I copied the folder arma2\Addons for the AO directory.

Thx all.
