CBA: Community Base Addons for A2, OA and CO

Hi,

that's always easy to say .. disabling certain or all mods would mean disabling basicly everything in the mission. I see the importance of clearing errors but on the other side I'm willing to except minor issues if there's no time to fix them. I'm working 50-60 hours per week all across europe, family matters on the weekend so I've got only some minutes for ArmA.

It takes a few minutes to search for nil = in your OA/A2 folder...

Beside that, it does also break BIS stuff!

Xeno

Perhaps we could ask sbsMac to whip up a tool that takes care of finding the nil = in a very easy fashion?

Much like http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=11102

Although perhaps it would be somewhat cross functionality with his Squint tool.. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=11817

However, even built-in windows search, searching all files in arma folder, and mission folder, should even show it as well.

Search for nil= and nil = should hit pretty soon.

+1 to Sickboy's idea. Something to detect mis-use of globals would be good idea.

<cough> Try typing "nil=1;" into the scratch window in squint ;-) In fact, squint will catch attempts to assign to _any_ reserved word.

Shweet.

This happens when you have CBA started twice or you didnt have start it at all.

Latest CBA 0.7.1 dev build available on Six Updater.

I think we've ironed out most of the issues, official release next days.

I have a problem. If I have CBA enabled I get an error about a missing script file, UAV.sqf. Is there a way I can fix this? Or am I just stupid and it's some other mod?

I turned off all my mods and then I enabled them one by one and and went into the editor and placed an uav module there, because I knew that triggers the notice. The error only comes with CBA.

It kinda sucks that I can't play the campaign missions with UAVs in the properly with CBA turned on, and I don't want to turn it off either because then I can't use ACE :(

Is that arma2 or OA or combined ops?

ArmA 2

I believe you will find putting this file in @CBA_A2\Addons, overwriting the current file, your problems will have disappeared :-)

Include file x\cba_a2\addons\main\xeh\script_mod.hpp not found. :(

Woei, sorry :eek: --SNIP--

Now signed CBA_A2 http://www.multiupload.com/VRF505GFMA

Yes! It works! You probably just saved my weekend :)

CBA 0.7 signed hotfix released, re 1.56 changes.

Available on Six Updater, as well as packed it up for those who need it (Hope to create an official 0.7.1 release soon!).

SickBoy (et. al.), how will the 1.56 patch hotfix interact with the 0.7.1 pre-release / beta / whatever version you posted on the 26th?

Thanks for the help.

Thanks a lot for the quick fix Sickboy :)

is this CBA fix also for lite?

is this CBA fix also for lite?

If you use CBA with OA v1.56(today's patch) than yes. Lite is the patch.

Urgh, this needs another mirror - multiupload is being evil and 404'ing. Can someone please post one of the links from the multiupload page for me?

Please can someone check the following:

it seems to me that CBA messes the MP armory missions up. The following behaviours i could note with CBA (dedicated & hosted):

- Object placements is executed after mission start and very slow (without CBA, loaded and placed before mission start)

- Looking at infostands does not open info resource of relevant object (nothing happens at all)

- at infostands, selecting item doesn't have any effect.

- Armory relevant action menu is completely missing.

This has been tested on the Coop 08 Armory on Chernarus aswell as on Takistan. Both dedicated and self hosted game shows the same behaviour.

Self hosted game without CBA works as expected.

Please can someone confirm this? Or tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Latest CBA version listed above?
