Stein Posted May 22, 2012 at 06:07 AM Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 at 06:07 AM Hey Guys, I am extremely excited to start gaming with you all. I have no mods! I really would like to get ACE and ACRE all installed, but do not know the process or anything. I have both SixUpdater and Armarize, not sure which one is better for the mods but I have them. If sometime someone could help walk me through the process, I would be forever grateful. Cannot wait to start hardcore gaming with you all, especially on the Missions on Saturdays!EDIT: I do not have Steam version, if that helps at allThanksMike Stein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=VG= Calv Posted May 22, 2012 at 07:37 AM Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 at 07:37 AM sixupdater is pretty easy to get the hang of.Once loaded you can right click in the window on the left hand side and select New Preset.Then click the Mods tab at the top of the right side window, find whichever mods you want, then Right Click > Add to Preset.Once you've added all the mods you want locate the large green icon at the Top left and click on the text underneath, a new menu should appear, select Install or Update mods, then let it do it's thing.I'd probably suggest creating two presets at the moment, one with ace and one without.Other Mods I'd suggest downloading are:STHUDSTMovementAlso consider these for improved sound and visual:JSRSBlastcore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= Murderface0151 Posted May 22, 2012 at 07:39 AM Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 at 07:39 AM JSRS and Blastcore is 100% NEEDED! you will never look back lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= SavageCDN (Inactive Duty) Posted May 22, 2012 at 12:51 PM Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 at 12:51 PM I use both SU and Armarize as well. SU is better for sync and updating mods and we use it on the Community Arma server. It makes it much easier for players to get the right mods/versions - find the server in SU browser, create new present and install.Armarize is great if you just want to fire up Arma with some mods loaded - program is faster to start, doesn't update every 30 minutes, uses far less RAM, etc.Just make sure you use SU to download and update mods. If you let Armarize do this it will screw up SU.http://www.veterans-gaming.com/vg-plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?24065 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stein Posted May 23, 2012 at 04:06 AM Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 at 04:06 AM I downloaded both ACE and ACRE today, ACE works fine... but cannot say the same about ACRE. I get an error that says that dSound.dll wont load. Its getting frustrating, I have been trying to fix it for about 4 hours now, and I just want it to work! Anybody have an idea? I have asked google, and he has no ideas neither.ThanksMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terremer Posted May 23, 2012 at 04:34 AM Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 at 04:34 AM you need teamspeak for acre to work correctly, that might be the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=VG= Calv Posted May 23, 2012 at 09:00 AM Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 at 09:00 AM Couple things to try:Make sure TS and Sixupdater are run as admin.In SU ensure you have the mod jayarma2lib_new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
