[QUOTE=Taggart;33678316]lol sorry but there's more mods than ACE that make Arma II and OA better and more realistic that don't make the game take 10 minutes to start up and don't give you five metric tons of useless shit you don't need[/QUOTE]
while there is some dumb useless shit, ACE adds quite a bit of cool features that should have been in vanilla arma.
[QUOTE=Stupideye;33678536]while there is some dumb useless shit, ACE adds quite a bit of cool features that should have been in vanilla arma.[/QUOTE]
yeah and quite a few of those features can be found in other mods (though some of the stuff ACE does either cannot be or is done so much better that there's no point with anything else)
if ACE was divided so that the only stuff you absolutely required was the cool stuff and the rest of the shit was extras it would be fine, but instead the main ACE component shoves half of that dumb shit down your throat (and let's not forget it's tendency to be completely fucking incompatible with other mods that add cool shit that it doesn't have)
[QUOTE=Tark]besides, what other mods are you talking about? SLX is the only other mod for ArmA 2 that adds and/or changes things on the scale that ACE does, and it's even more of a buggy piece of shit. Vanilla ArmA 2, while smooth, isn't very fun when you realize that you can't adjust your NVs, can't rest your weapon, can't heal other players, don't get affected whatsoever by overpressure, have to deal with even shittier AI (Yes, ACE improves the AI.), and when you have to deal with the fucking horrible BIS hitpoint-based vehicle damage.
i like ACE because it makes a good game amazing.[/QUOTE]
Uh, you can rest your weapon and heal other players in vanilla, though the rest are mostly valid points, but the AI are pretty aimbotty and that's pretty fucking annoying
I'd like ACE if it was just shit that makes it better as a main component, but it's not
ACE adds cool shit, but it destroys the a lot of the extra fun you could have, especially when it decides that that one mod that you really like is incompatible, and the extra shit it adds seeks only to make your game take fucking forever to load, which pisses me off
Well if you list all the mods that make the game as good as ACE makes it, without all the bullshit, please post it.
give me about 20 minutes and you're on
resting wepaon is not in vanilla
vanilla has incredibly simple wounding system

even slx works w/ ace
[editline]11th December 2011[/editline]
you actually DON'T need ACEX or anything you just need @ACE and CBA but everyone uses ACEX because its nice
[QUOTE=Taggart;33678864]give me about 20 minutes and you're on[/QUOTE]
Two hours later and taggart brings nothing to the table.
ACE described in 1 image.

although i'm inclined to suggest we go try the stable version of ACE instead, this way we wouldn't have to worry about having to update every single time, and i won't have to bother with the 1.6 candidates
well i'll have to dick around with the RC's for 1.6 tomorrow, see which ones we'll have to download and shit
afaik we just need 1.6RC1, then download RC2 and install that over RC1

[QUOTE=DarkSamus;33680231]Two hours later and taggart brings nothing to the table.[/QUOTE]
probably because I'm playing a game jerkface
I'll compile a list when I'm not tired as fuck because it's 4am in the morning and I'll probably end up adding something completely random to it
like a mod to enable lights on helicopters or some wacky shit like that
Alright, installing ACE for OA/CO.
Advice?

dont worry about flying or anything yet, get used to controls and shit.
flashpoint is a awesome mission for just trying out the game and screwing around, it basically throws you into a combat area: [url]http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=11138[/url]

Looks awesome, I'll definitely try it out when ACE finishes downloading.
Alright, ACE for CO isn't working properly.
I don't know where to begin on what's wrong.
You need to update to ARMA 1.60, or get an older revision of ACE somehow
Yeah that 1.60 beta/patch requirement really complicates things in ways I don't really like....
[QUOTE=venom;33693119]You need to update to ARMA 1.60, or get an older revision of ACE somehow[/QUOTE]
And how would I update a steam version of ARMA?
Someone get him the link, hidden somewhere on the clusterfuck they call the BI Forums. It's still in beta and probably won't be released fully (it's on RC1) for another month. It's just an exe you've got to run, but it's an extra 500mb.

Awright, looking forward to it.
I want the scope to stop shaking. I've got long range targets to shoot damn it!
[DATA EXPUNGED]
ALTERNATIVELY, we could go get the stable version of ACE.

ok there we go
mbbird used the sprocket mirror, but I don't think it actually matters which one you use
by the way, we should seriously consider getting an actual dedicated server up
anyone know of/recommend a good host for this?
its pretty expensive, i remember we were looking into that before. plus no one will want to help pay for it
By seriously consider I mean "lets do this for real." My internet has improved but my computer just has problems with some games. Pretty much just Skyrim, Arma 2, and BF3. It's way more convenient with me as a host as far as missions and mods go, but goddamn I do not enjoy my 10-15 FPS when the AI decides to open up with all six 152mm guns and every GL in existence while hosting for 20 other people.
Maybe look for a host that wasn't asshole like Butler's, who definitely did not allow for very fluid mod additions.
[editline]12th December 2011[/editline]
And I'm p sure we did have people willing to pay last time with Butler's, just he did it so suddenly everyone had no idea what was going on and I don't think Butler even allowed donations.
-name fits-
edit: i still kind of doubt we would make enough with donations, i dont even know if i would want to, I hardly play arma
[QUOTE=Stupideye;33695173]-name fits[/QUOTE]
yeah he was like "hey guys I might get a server" then 2 seconds later he bought the server and immediately abandoned it.
So are we using the ACE2 stable or what? Would installing it be a pain in the ass or what?
[editline]12th December 2011[/editline]
Also for donations on the server how much would you need in terms of donations?
[QUOTE=Mbbird;33695186]yeah he was like "hey guys I might get a server" then 2 seconds later he bought the server and immediately abandoned it.[/QUOTE]
yeah I remember that now, he asked me to help him fix it but the host was just shitty
