ACE Problems on dedicated servers.

[[Sturm]+Brother Zael]

Hey so recently my clan and I got a dedicated server and I (being the one that asked about it) am in charge of keeping it up.

I managed to learn how to get everything in and can kinda run the server.

I got RPA:Refined Vehicles, CBA_A3, and Remove Stamina on the server and they work fine.

However when I add in ACE (which is up to date and everything) it is kind of broken.

In particular I've noticed four things:

1) The Medical system of ACE isn't working.
2) ACE Interaction radial menus are inaccessable.
3) The ACE addon configurations menu in-game is empty.
4) The quadbike was unable to turn or go more than mebbe 2mph. (only vehicle I tried)

I've only tested this on altis with the Anistasi mission (it's kind of like insurgency) so it might just be the mission is incompatible.

Thanks.

Also, as an aside, I cannot seem to get the Blood Mist Effect mod to work on the server, even with the .bisign (which I assume is the key) in the appropriate key folders.

blood mist is client side you dont need to put it on your server.

as for ace you probably have corrupted files. it works fine on a dedicated server.

Blood mist does not appear to be client side as I removed it from the server but it won't let me join when I have it on my client :|

Reckon the problem with ACE got fixed with a little help from pledgy :D

Edit: Problem still not fixed.

It appears there is a problem with ACE initializing on the server. I've been using the Steam one, in order to make sure it is easy for others to get it and have the same version as the server.

post feking fixes PLEASE!!! having same issue but everywhere i go people say fixed and BAM das the end....share with the rest of the class PLEASE D:

I did say problem still not fixed...

That said, Cade, it should be worth noting that ACE isn't made for dedicated servers really. I haven't arma'd in a bit, but i've made a few friends recently that do so I'll ask them and get back to you.

thanks much o/

Did you ever fix this? I have this problem as well with ace

[[Sturm]+Brother Zael]

no i did not, but it's also a problem with the server hosting + ace not being made for multiplayer servers per se. Talk to http://steamcommunity.com/id/pledgy/ for some help though. he might be able to help you.

[Cade Stirling (Riley)]

we never fixed it and havnt played in a while

[[Sturm]+Brother Zael]

Same. I've been really busy and stopped playing myself. Heck we even moved the server to a different game entirely. So sorry all but not fixed and no fix expected on this thread :(

I'm gonna tell you how I fixed this problem for my server. We may not have the same issues, however:
if you drive really slow or glitch around in a car, can't open the ace menu, and medical system doesn't work when you put ace on your dedicated server, its because ace never really installed on your server.

When the client has ace, they are able to use some features of ace like hand gestures and see medical supplies of ace. However if the server doesn't have ace, then driving doesn't work, healing probably wont work, sniping wont work, etc.
My problem, it turns out was in my command line for the server i put mods=@ace;etc... instead of -mod=@ace;etc.... Check the rpt file of your server to see if ace is loaded into your server. This was my fix I hope it helps anyone with this issue (your command line is not loading the mod you intended so you have a typo somewhere) because I know damn well I scoured the internet for hours finding none of this advice.
