    Server 2 Co-Op: Connection Failing?

    For some reason, I can't connect to your Co-Op server tonight.

    I'm running:
    ACE 1.04
    Ace Island Pack vers. 1.0 (from TG link)
    Avgani & Afghan Village maps (from TG link)
    ArmA patched to the new 1.15beta

    The server was running the Op Alvira (Light) mission and there were slots available but it's an ongoing mystery to me.

    I've been on before so I don't know if it's something with that mission or what(?)

    You seem to have all the mods needed, but are they all installed correctly? Can you launch the Afghan village map in mission editor?

    You probably don't have the new Avgani pack, which has some extra resources the old one linked somewhere on the forum doesn't. I repeatedly ran into the same problem one night until I got lucky and saw an error message before getting disconnected about 'afghan_village' and figured it was related to Avgani.

    Thanks for the Avgani tip. I'll look for an update on Armaholic.

    Yeah, that's where I went first TheBigC. Going for the reloading of Avgani & Afghan Village again.

    --------
    UPDATE
    --------
    Failed again.

    Are there any other addons that I need to have other than the ones in that link TheBigC?

    I'm pretty sure that link has em' all.

    Are you sure you're installing the Avgani_Afghan Village stuff right?

    • A.C.E. mod version 1.01 - link

    • A.C.E Island Pack version 1.0 - link

    • Avgani Iraq version 1.6 & Afghan Village version 0.6 - link



    Installing and running the mods/addons:
    • Make sure you have ArmA beta patch 1.15 installed.[/b]

    • A.C.E. mod and A.C.E. Islands, have a cool installer so you only have to follow the instructions.

    • Installing Avgani Iraq & Afghan Village:

    Step nº 1 - Unrar the opx.rar.

    Step nº 2 - In the main ArmA directory create a folder named "@Afghan_Avgani", the path should look like this C:\Games\ArmA\@Afghan_Avgani.

    Step nº 3 - Inside the recent @Afghan_Avgani folder, create a new one named "AddOns", the path should look like this C:\Games\ArmA\@Afghan_Avgani\AddOns

    Step nº 4 - Go to the folder where you did the 1st step unrar and copy all the files with the extensions *.pbo and *.bisign into your C:\Games\ArmA\@Afghan_Avgani\AddOns folder.


    Launching ArmA with the mods/addons:

    • After installing the beta patch 1.15, you should have a shortcut in you main ArmA directory saying "Launch Arma Beta Patch 1.15", click with right mouse button in it and select properties.

    • In the properties menu where says "path", add the following commands, -mod=@ACE -mod=@ACE-Islands -mod=@Afghan_Avgani.

    • The path should look like this now: "E:\ArmA\beta\arma.exe -mod=beta -nosplash -mod=@ACE -mod=@ACE-Islands -mod=@Afghan_Avgani"



    Now use the shorcut to launch Arma, plug in your microphone and have Fun!

    I'll repeat myself here:

    Can you launch the Afghan village map in mission editor?

    Easy way to test if it's installed correctly. If it isn't then the post above is a good source of instructions.

    Re: Server 2 Co-Op: Connection Failing?

    Ah, ok Fincuan, sorry about that. Tried that with the Editor and the maps didn't even show up so I went through the instructions from MarineSeakKnight and the problem was that an AddOn Folder was never made in the folder. After that, SUCCESS!

    Thanks for your help.

    There we go. Glad I could help.

    It'd be nice if BigC could post a link to the instructions from his thread, since Jorge's has the Instructions and Big's thread has all the links.
