    Changed title from 'Current Version' to 'Version'

    Version: 1.0.8.140723 RC3

    This release improves the isTurnedOut function significantly.

    It fixes some minor bugs in the new CBA Keybinding System as well as adding some new support for KeyDown and KeyUp detection.

    The CBA Keybinding system allows developers and mission makers to register default keybindings for their addons and missions. And allows users to dynamically change their them from within the games Options Controls.

    ScreenShot: http://dev.withsix.com/attachments/22002/cba_keybinding_gui.png

    For documentation of the new CBA Keybinding System see https://dev.withsix.com/projects/cca/wiki/Keybinding.

    Any addon which calls CBA-defined functions need not be licensed under the GPLv2

    or released under a free software license. Only if you are directly including CBA code

    in your addon's binarized PBO or redistributing a modified version of CBA itself would

    your work be considered derivative and therefore be legally required to be released under

    the terms of the GPL. (And there's no reason to ever do either of these.)

    Thanks in advance for your continued feedback!

    Corrected build number

    Current version: 1.0.7.140710 RC2

    We have a new team member. Welcome Taosenai!

    He brings us a new feature called Keybinding. It allows developers and mission makers to register default keybinding for their addons and missions. And allows users to change their keybindings from a unified location within games UI.

    The problem relates to Raven's LIFTER mod and the latest CBA patch. This is with the latest @CBA version 1.0.1.0 and the latest @rav_lifter 1.0.6.1 patch. My server just goes into a loop of crashing when these two are the only things activated. I suppose the LIFTER mod needs to update its CBA dependencies?

    ...

    Server mods activated:

    @CBA 1.0.1.0 + @lifter = Server started up but hangs on 'Setting' status on default BIS COOP mission, server needs to be restarted

    I have two points of feedback:

    1) I noticed PwS has listed @rav_lifter_A3 1.0.6.2 which seems to be a newer version than the one you listed. I tried this version with the latest @CBA and I cannot get it to hang or crash with BIS COOP missions.

    2) I had Tupolov test CBA_A3 with ALiVE before I released he said he fired up a dedi session and that all was good.

    Like Killswitch said we will need your help in pinning down your problem. Make sure you have the latest @rav_lifter_a3. Perhaps contact Raven the author of rav_lifter. If you still have problems have Raven create a bug report with an attached RPT file.

    Bug Report for the latest RC1 version

    -mod=@CBA_A3

    (No other mods running)

    Key installed: cba_a3_rc1.bikey

    Server doesnt fully load.

    ...

    Killswitch could not reproduce this issue on isolated servers. Neither can I.

    However Killswitch did manage to reproduce it on another server, I think it was your server. So the investigation continues.

    FIXED: CBA_A3 interferes with Arma3's weather sync values - ViperMaul

    Could you explain what it was doing in a little more detail ?

    PS. thanks for all the hard work in this must have mod

    CBA_A3 had some code for syncing the weather settings, specifically ​overCast, fog, and rain.

    * changed the defaults for timeSync_Disabled and weatherSync_Disabled from false to true

    * comment out the weather sync call from network\fnc_sync.sqf (the time sync call is already commented out)

    ____________________________________________________________________

    Current Release is v3.4.1.170912

    This update adds the CBA_MiscItem base class that can be used for generic items that should appear as generic items in the Virtual Arsenal.

    It furthermore contains adjustments for various changes in the 1.76 update, Chinese translations and bug fixes.

     

    v3.4 improves the keybinding system and adds support for multiple keybinds per action as well as the ability to bind mouse buttons.

    The debug console can be expanded to watch expressions and variables on any connected machine. There is now the possibility to name groups in the lobby.
    Your old keybindings will not carry over to this new version, because of the changed save format. You will have to rebind all addon keybindings.

    Change log for CBA v2.4.1


    KNOWN ISSUES:

    • The old keybinding bug. Some CBA keybinds might not appear in the controls menu. While the script error was fixed, we are still working on a solution to make even corrupted profile key entries appear.
      The easiest currently known workaround is to create a new user profile.
    • A potential crash on missions longer than 5 hrs. RPT logs are appreciated.

     

     

    _________________________________________________________________________
    v2.4.0

    This release improves and expands the CBA Events system and brings compatibility with the Linux/MacOS build of the game.
    Another goal was to simplify, refactor and clean up old code stemming from Arma 1/2 using new commands and methods, making CBA even more lightweight. For security reasons we changed CBA_fnc_globalExecute to use remoteExec internally and replaced all functions that made use of whitelisting via CfgRemoteExec. Our release now contains a meta.cpp file, so the Arma 3-Launcher should be able to detect and update a manual installation via Steam Workshop.

    CBA v2.3.1 Hotfix
    This is a hotfix release to resolve some issue created by v2.3.0
    It also has some other minor fixes and features included that didn't make the previous release.
    One cool new feature is an improvement to the debug console within 3den. The extended debug console increases the size of the text box where you enter code. And also add's the prev and next statement functionality. A small performance boost comes with this hotfix as well.

    CHANGE LOG SUMMARY:

    v2.3.0

    NOTES ON THE NEW XEH:

    Interesting changes for normal user:

    • no longer needs to move cba_enable_auto_xeh.pbo manually. CBA now automatically detects if event handlers were added to incompatible object classes.
    • less overhead when objects are created (which benefits AI spawn scripts)
    • very slight overall performance increase

    CBA_A3 Beta 5 released!

    This release addresses all known bugs that we could find in this thread.

    I wish this could have been released sooner, however new jobs, new seasons of responsibility in the real world can and always will continue to effect release schedules.

    Thank you for reporting the issues to us. For this helps us improve the product for the good of the entire community.

    Thanks to the CBA Team and special thanks to a small few active in the community for sanity testing the pre-releases of this CBA version.

    Key Changes

    • ADDED: Support for new A3 Event Handlers - killswitch
    • ADDED: Support for the Ability to remove cba_versioning.pbo from the server. - ViperMaul
    • IMPROVED: Action Monitor Initialization - killswitch
    • IMPROVED: FlexiMenu's protection against bad Menu Definitions - Dr. Eyeball
    • FIXED: Missing default BIS event handlers for Helicopters - killswitch
    • FIXED: More Undefined variables in expressions - killswitch and ViperMaul
    • FIXED: MPframework.sqf Error: a3mp_zues.pbo triggers latent Arma2 code in CBA - ViperMaul
    • FIXED: Little glitch towards to the top left of the screen on certain maps. - Thanks Kju and killswitch
      NOTE: Be advised ACRE 1.x has also been discovered to have this graphic glitch issue as well. See the screen shot below. The fix I am told is in ACRE 2.x. Nou has been notified)
      Screen Shot of this issue on Chernarus : http://gyazo.com/cec9344b83bcc63f1ce56d69c1b94f9a

    FlexiMenu Changelog:

    • FIXED: Reversed order of all missionConfigFile/configFile check. Mission-defined rsc menus should have higher priority to allow overrides. - Dr. Eyeball
    • ADDED: New rsc menu property (flexiMenu_hotKeyColor = "#f07EB27E"; ) which sets hotkey colour. This is the final change to allow menus to be fully colour independent via rsc config. - Dr. Eyeball
    • CHANGED: Increased (#defines) _maxButtons from 30 to 100. (IDC range is already 100 so it won't overlap.) - Dr. Eyeball
    • CHANGED: Replaced all __EXEC & __EVAL macros in all rsc menu def files. These were unnecessarily used for most button image paths and IDC increments. This was preventing the addon from being able to be binarized. - Dr. Eyeball
    • CHANGED: Menus: widened many of the buttons (for wider text captions). Also scaled some buttons to suit screen width. - Dr. Eyeball
    • CHANGED: Menus: added more sub-menu buttons (for some menus). Increased from around 10 to 20 or 30. - Dr. Eyeball

    Again thanks Dr Eyeball for all your work!!

    It's not VON - setting on 2 servers were already below 20. Incidence is lower today, still same names - suspect $able has the answer.

    Additionally, we run our Dev Branch dedi with VON disabled.

    I know I'm being a bit insisting on this issue, but I find it really bugs me: are there any news about Mods that add elements to the HUD working even with savegames? ShackTacks Fireteam HUD is an example...

    So far what we have found is this is not an issue with CBA.

    This is most likely an issue with how the resources saved or if they use the ability to detect saved games and act accordingly.

    Thanks to zapat, this gives devs some insight on how to detect saved games and workaround this issue.

    Thanks to Killswitch this issue between CBA_A3 Beta 3 and A3 Beta (Dev Branch) is fixed.

    There will be a hotfix for developers only released in the ticket below. This means no sigs for this file.

    Beta 4 and sigs will be released soon.

    The CBA team will continue its work on testing XEH and AiA with the A3 Beta. Our intent is have Beta 4 available when A3 Beta hits the main branch.

    Does this mean that every modder should download the hotfix (and thus reupload its Mod) for its Mod to work? Is it the same if one (not modder, simple user) waits for the CBA Beta4 (I'm thinking about that double spawning fix too)?

    Yay!

    In beta 4, the duplicated voices is confirmed fixed, the double spawning should be fixed as well. Will it be the same if one waits? Yes or better if we find something else to fix. ;)

    Since BIS claimed that lazy evaluation is back to ArmA3 for some time in the corresponding ticket can we get related CBA update?

    The good thing is Xeno has already finished the code in OA. The merge to A3 followed by internal tests is in progress by members of the CBA team in between real life and new computer setups.

    You can follow the progress here.

    Reference:

    The revised cba_common.pbo made by ViperMaul works - you can launch the 104648 build - but it doesn't have any signatures so not useable for multiplayer. ViperMaul shows the fix as 100% but the CBA group has still not released a new build with signatures for the revised file. All of the details and the revised file are on dev-heaven at https://dev-heaven.net/issues/71860

    ViperMaul, what is status?

    This appears to be fixed in the latest OA beta patch rev 105785.

    Reference: https://dev-heaven.net/issues/71884

    The revised pbo should no longer be needed.

    you have to opt out of the STEAM beta (the beta for the actual Steam program, not Arma 3). in the Steam menu, goto view, settings, and then you should see an option for "beta participation". regardless of what it says, press "change", make sure the "None - Opt out of all beta programs" option is chosen, and hit OK

    Thank you daze23, this fixed my issue. I had the same problem as SmokeDog3PARA, but it is fixed now thanks to your instructions.
