[EVENT] Friday Night, ACE Night! 2013-01-25

If we're gonna use ACRE, may I suggest using stacre_volume?

That does look interesting. However, we will not be using it for friday. Just good 'ol ACRE. I'll make a note of it for the server though - testing it sometime would be neat!

[Harz]

Ill Definetly be there. Can i use standard Ace and Acre installs?

ACRE version should be latest ACRE linked on armaholic. So, if this is standard ACRE for you - yes. As far as ACE goes, it'd be much much preferred that we all use the same version because incompatibility or differences in versions might upset game stuffs.

Better to use the package for the future anyway, because ACE gets really really pissed when you join with a outdated client/server.

Yeah, but for those who already have an ACE installation, it's kind of a pain to go and make another one. For information, what build did you select? If I have the same, I'll just stop updating to where I am. If I have a more recent one, I'll see what I can do.

This. I just use Play withSIX and simply get whatever's on there. It's more or less worked so far, though I do get config file errors here and there, and STHud never wants to work etc. It still beats manually installing and launching everything :\

Sorry, what? Just unpacking @aceFA and then download & installing ACRE from Armaholic is easy enough as it is with like STHUD and whatnot. Heck, I have multiple @ACE installations myself.

This is fair. The reasoning behind it was to eliminate as many steps as possible for people to get ACE/ACEX. SixUpdater, whilst very useful, does take some learning and experience to use. This combined with the fact that a six-updated server (with or without a FA profile) is out of the question for the moment, the easiest thing would be for a @aceFA. It's 800:ish MB, easily installed like any other mod and launched with a launcher or SixUpdater itself. I really *really* hope this won't discourage you from joining in, it's just that this way seems most useful for most people all considered.

@aceFA is ACE v1.14RC1 b589 & ACEX v1.14RC1 b370 (now in the mods list)

[Black Mamba]

Well this happen to be the latest ACE & ACEX on SU as well, so for those having used SU, you can just join with your current install. All you need to do is stop updating to stay where FA stands.

I don't have any courses today so I'll be there. Finally take that plunge into ACE/ACRE I've always wanted. Let's hope my medic skills will be of use.
