    One more question - in my arma launcher I see @ace and also @ace/rsync/pack.
    The same kind a thing for the other ace components too. Which one do I select or does it matter?

    What in the name of Jesus is the Six Updater Suite?

    I'm really struggling to be bothered installing the mod when there seems to be so much overhead and work involved.

    Install Yoma, when it opens click new server.

    A tab will open in side that will be 3 tabs.

    SERVER

    DOWNLOAD

    LAUNCH GAME


    In server paste this into AUTO CONFIG http://www.kellys-heroes.eu/updater/Arma2ACE-Repository/Arma2ACE-Repo.7z And hit the IMPORT BUTTON beside it.

    then go to Download and CHECK FOR ADDONS then DOWNLOAD THEM.

    make a cup of tea your addon is downloading.


    I use Arma 2 launcher to load my mods and run the game, makes the shortcut command for you :D


    ^^

    ??? What the hell is yoma?

    One thing I hate about open source software and software made by hobbyists is the piss poor documentation that accompanies them.

    Thanks but I got the Six Server up and running.

    If it works it should save me bandwidth as the mod gets updated.

    Try Yoma, its much easier
    http://dev-heaven.net/projects/list_files/yoma-addonsync2009

    I've simplified the steps for You

    1, Install it, run it, check the settings tab has the right path to Your Arma 2 install and then click on default servers,
    2, right click on Kellys Heros Ace 2 mirror and click add to favorites
    3, click on favorites, double click kellys hero's, click middle download addons tab
    4, click check for addons, then click download addons and let it do its thing

    Every time You update just run steps 3 and 4 and then click delete extra files (v important)

    We can see You trying to connect, You need to run the Ace mod before the server will let u connect. User this launcher

    We see the mod folders You're running, You don't need to launch the rsync ones, You can actually delete them, all u need is, @ACE, @ACEX, @ACEX_PLA, @ACEX_SM and @CBA and when You update with Yoma make sure to click delete extra files.


    I'm updating the server later, be sure You all update before joining tomorrow

    The server has exploded in popularity, we now have people coming back night after night for a good game.

    But with that comes retards, i spent about 40 minutes of my goddamn drunken friday night kicking people, one ****tard shot me in the A10 as i was taking off :mad:


    Way i see it i would rather people joined as it makes my game better but i aint paying for some retard to **** up everyones game and piss me off.

    heh i just paid for 3 months so im righteuous :D ****ing paypal ***** stole 2 euro on me so i paid 46.50 :p

    We could announce through console today and tomorrow that we're locking it, check boards.ie for pass. Anyone dedicated enough to check here is welcome to join

    We do that and server dies, bit of a crappy position for us as doubt anyone expected the server to be one of the busiest.

    I blame ACE :p

    I thought Ace would sort the men from the boys, gotta be dedicated to download an extra on top of buyin the game in the first place.

    Banning from the game isn't working, they don't get added to the ban.txt when You click ban. I've added 2 people manually to the ban.txt, pm me (or login to Your steam) the names of the peeps You kicked and i'll add them by getting their id from the console

    Adding manually works, just tried it there with my own user id and had a nice big "YOU WERE BANNED" popup on my screen :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,874 ✭✭✭✭PogMoThoin


    Process for banning a player:

    - Type #userlist

    - Open the chat up again and use page up or down to scroll the list and find the player you want to ban

    - Remember the number IN FRONT of the players name (example: 54: Ban me (30ms))

    - Type #exec ban 54


    You do not need his game ID.

    Posted about fatigue and g-force blackouts in the ACE thread on BI forums, hopefully they'll tweak it a little
    About stamina:
    - do not sprint
    - add 20 killograms to the displayed weight to account for gear&protection wear
    - lower your weapon (at least it used to work in ACE1, you'd get tired faster if running with weapon ready)
    - when resting: crouch or go prone (preffered) to regain stamina faster.
