Updated for ArmA2OA Beta 82604

latest arma2 has not been supported yet.

Noticed it wasn't on the list. ACRE has a new bikey for V2, as well as new V2 bisigns (acre2). You should know this rex ;)

It disables defined complex FSM execution and behavior on a unit. For example, some AI mods will execute additional FSM's on the unit, on top of what is defined in the CfgVehicles classes. This command will disable execution of everything but the basic engine behavior for the unit; thus reducing the amount of FSM execution going on at any given time on the server. Again though, like I said, the engine has basic behavior for any given AI unit outside of the purview of FSM's or scripts, and this behavior still executes.

updated for beta 82489

I cant reproduce this. Can someone please file tracker issues with dump files for this? The dump files are located in the "my documents" or "Documents" folder. ts3_blaskdfjasldfkjaslfkjaslfkjsdf.dmp" files. Otherwise - I cannot reproduce this issue. Seems it may be a server/client/addon discrepancy. Or at least the text from the divide by zero error. :?

I need copies of the exe then.

Is this "all of acre stops working" or just part of it stops working? radios? What revive/death scripts? We added a 5-second microphone mute when you die. Is this what your experiencing?

Deployed @ UO

We will probably officially push our latest version sometime next week. Our next version with major feature's wont be for probably at least another month. EDIT: For an idea, next week we will officially release: - Vehicle Radio Racks and Virtualized radios for some vehicles - ACRE Interact menus and usage - TS3 plugin Settings dialog for different volumes and other options - Multiple bug fixes - Performance improvements for games with more than 60 players - Signal strength computations got re-written and is now much better (Full changelog mostly for next weeks release) -- 1.3.3 -- * Changed: You can no longer open a radio in a vehicle rack unless you use it first * Change: Virtual rack radios (tanks/aircraft) are no longer "takable" -- 1.3.2 -- * Fixed: JIPs would sometimes hear people as global. A lot. * Fixed: onvehicleinit script error * Fixed: ACE radios were borked -- 1.3.1 -- * Changed: When using a rack radio, it now becomes your active radio * Fixed: Random game hang/crashes * Fixed: the dead menu showed up when you were alive * Fixed: radio speakers now work again * Fixed: Virtual radios in vehicles would sometimes show frequency any * Fixed: Volume on the 343 did not work * Fixed: JIP players would be global sometimes * Fixed: Other random bugs and crap -- 1.3.0 -- * Added: TS3 now has a configuration dialog which allows controlling global radio volume for your client * Changed: updated for latest ts3 version fixing the constant error message * Changed: Signal code re-worked. Overall terrain detection should be more accurate (no more mystery hills) * Changed: Vehicle racks do not have a "open radio" button anymore * Fixed: Various vehicle rack bugs * Fixed: retrans function rxmtAttachToObj now works properly * Fixed: Sometimes the client would stutter with > 50 players * Fixed: "Over water" volume bug (also known as the carrier bug) * Removed: cntrl+shift+v for radio list has now been disabled. Use the ACRE Interact menu -- 1.2.11 -- * Added: Vehicle racks are now fully implemented. See http://tracker.idi-systems.com/projects/acre/wiki/Vehicle_Racks for details * Added: Vehicle racks now support "speaker mode" for other people to hear them * Added: Players dead, or in "spectate" mode, now get a self interaction for modifying spectator mode settings * Added: api functions. acre_api_fnc_getDisplayName, acre_api_fnc_rack_mountRadio * Fixed: Ace "on-back" was broken again (http://tracker.idi-systems.com/issues/73) * Fixed: Turned in/out attenuation for LAV-25's fixed. dumb animation names (http://tracker.idi-systems.com/issues/74) * Fixed: Bradley's now have proper cargo compartment attenuation * Fixed: Vodnik gunners were perma-turned out, but had turned in attenuation * Fixed: startSpeaking didnt trigger on channel change (http://tracker.idi-systems.com/issues/77) * Fixed: hasKindOfRadio didnt work (http://tracker.idi-systems.com/issues/78) Then, our next feature push is looking at containing the following (within a month): - Rewrite of GUI framework to allow for easier custom radios, as well as all API features working more consistently - Real signal-based half duplex - Input-based distance attenuation - Management of antenna's on radios/vehicles - Digital signal decay completion (cutting out rather than much quality loss)

Cic the new ACRE Settings dialog being integrated into the plugin. This is in anticipation of more manually adjusted settings.

ACRE never had a shout/whisper/talk mode; only a2ts did. We've never implemented, and as far as we are concerned we have no plans to implement it. atm "direct talk" ranges are actually about 12x realistic ranges. We are, however, working on implementing input volume attenuation. This means if you yell into your microphone, your voice travels further. And inversely, if you whisper, it doesn't travel as far.

I cannot repro any ACE issues with the interacts. Have you made sure to update your ACRE userconfig? in the 1.3 DEV/TEST builds the userconfig changed. p.s. this is why they wernt public release versions ;)

1.3.1 was a bust dev/test version we deployed only to UnitedOperations for testing. Its been pretty broken, and undergone multiple hotfixes, and is actually getting re-deployed to UO as 1.3.2 But to clarify - the current 1.3 builds *are* flagged DEV/TEST until we stabilize with our testing @ UO. Hence why the post wasn't updated ;)

Already updated...and you PM and posted within 2 hours of the beta getting released :|

The popup about someone using a new version has been drastically cut down, yes.

lulzzz (multiple z's cause it has to be 5 characters)

please post suggestions, thoughts or anything else to the tracker please.

We had issues with our server and my build environment (my computer tanked). Use the manual zip install. @everyone else: Hi. I just got out of bed finally. I've been bed-ridden sick with the flu for 6 days. Like, literally, I didn't get out of bed. For 6 days. Nou and I should hopefully be able to start cranking on things again shortly to fix up, update for new TS3, get some new features finalized, and stuff like that. As mentioned above - this thread is the worst possible way to tell us problems. We'll ignore you most of the time. Please use the tracker: http://tracker.idi-systems.com/projects/acre/issues Thanks.

81423 sorry. Typo :P Latest public beta.
