ACE switches to Maintenance mode Dev Blog entry

With the fresh release of ACE 1.10 Stable, we are switching ACE development to "maintenance mode".
Having released 10 versions already, 5 in each A2 edition (Original and OA), in a rapid tempo - even multiple updates a week, was useful during active development and the defining of the ACE mod.

We feel that the Mod now has shaped up to a very respectable level, where less new possible features remain, and mostly the ironing out of last bugs and applying finishing touches to components are left.
Of course new features will always be welcome.

Concretely this means only update Fridays every two weeks, with a new stable release every two or three sets of those.
Obviously if there's need for a hotfix or update sooner than the two weeks, this will still be possible.
Schedule updated accordingly.

Server admins and players will hopefully welcome the extra breathing room, so will we as our Fridays were pretty much predetermined for over a year now

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved with the project - incl you the players and server admins running our mods and reporting bugs and feedback.
Active development, with fitting release schedule, will probably return once another expansion, or next game version arrives.

Update Schedule
Ongoing development
During Maintenance mode: 18:00 GMT, on Fridays, bi-weekly.
During Active Development: 18:00 GMT, on Fridays.
Unless severe issues found, then other days might have an hotfix update.

Stable
Minor Version updates are set for each 1-2 months.
Major Version updates probably for the next ArmA game

Petite question, comment faire sortir la mire du M203 avec ACE ? J'ai bien essayé Shift+V et Shift+H.

Parce que la je tire au petit bonheur la chance, et j'en ai rarement de la chance

**Voodoonice** · 27/04/2011, 18h06

Le préalable c'est de modifier ou créé le fichier ace_clientside_config.hpp dans C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\userconfig\ace

A la place de mon pseudo tu mets le tiens (celui de ton soldat dans Arma)

**nobrain78** · 28/04/2011, 08h24

Dans mon clientside je n'ai que "#define ACE_IDENTITY votre nom" qui y ressemble et pas du tout ce que tu me montres.

Il faut que je le rajoute ?

**dunadan** · 28/04/2011, 10h27

Oui, ça devrait ressembler à ça.

**Papanowel** · 28/04/2011, 11h39

Il faut lancer le aceclippi dorénavant.

**nobrain78** · 29/04/2011, 08h04

Aceclippi.exe done !

Bon par contre toujours pas de mire sur le M203, au mieux je peux régler 50m, 100m, 150m, ... mais pas de repère de direction. J'ai l'impression qu'on peut pas relever le bitonio qu'il y a sur l'arme, c'est dommage.

Pour ArmA II simple, sans OA, je dois quand même télécharger tout les fichiers du 1er post ? Ou je dois prendre une version spécifique ?

Tu es bloqué au ACE 1.3 .... les autres seront inutilisable pour toi.

**Zeppo** · 07/05/2011, 19h53

Ce monde est terriblement injuste.

En tout cas merci, j'vais voir pour DL ça.

Performance_Revolution

The Problem
Feature-heavy mods like the ACE Mod, which are heavily relying on scripting to make these features possible,
can need a long time to initialize the game, switching missions, islands, going from editor back to the game, and so forth.
2nd-nth mission (re)starts go faster, but it is still nowhere near as fast as playing the Vanilla game.

This is mostly because by default, all scripts have to be preProcessed and recompiled at every mission (re)start. The effect is amplified due to the massive usage of defines and macros.
Also XEH causes a higher script load during initializing of objects (units/vehicles/etc) due to the way the eventhandlers need to be implemented (Engine workings and (MP) bugs). The problem is bigger for missions with a lot of dynamic object spawning, which is rather defacto standard these days.

Limited script scheduler resources, introduced in ArmA2, amplify the issues further.

The Solution
As of upcoming ACE version (1.12 RC2), all mods/addons/missions that are using CBA macros, or XEH events, will show major improvements in initialization performance.
You will especially notice the differences after the 2nd-nth mission (re)start or switching islands, but even the first starts are faster.

We have accomplished this by improving the implementations and by implementing a cache for all compile preProcessFile'd scripts (incl CfgFunctions, BIS functions module etc), and for all XEH events on CfgVehicle classes.
This cache is stored in the uiNamespace and is therefore available throughout the whole lifetime of the running game (game start, till terminate game).
Each class is only cached once, while mission and campaignConfigfile events are obviously evaluated every mission, but also only once per CfgVehicle class.

You can find a preview changelog for the RC2 release scheduled for tomorrow here: ACE 1.12 RC2.
The current implementation is only a first version, and we feel we can probably improve it even further coming time.

We hope you are excited! I know we are!!
