SLR Addons (Yoma AddonSync)
« on: February 12, 2010, 01:52:47 am »
1a.) Get Addon Sync 2009 here

1b.) You will see their project page.  Navigate to files.


1c.) Download the newest/top most file.


2a) Find where your downloads go.  Double click on the installer and confirm to run despite a security warning if it appears.


2b.) Next.


2c.) Next.


2d.) Next.


2e.) Close.


3.) YomaTools may ask for you to check your settings.  Make sure things aren't incorrect, especially if it warns you.  This is important, so look for yourself if you believe the arma path is different than what was detected.


After closing the settings tab, you will have an empty list of servers.  Now close the AddonSync application.


4a.) Download either Mirror #1 (3mbit) or Mirror #2 (100mbit) archive file and extract it.

4b.) On your desktop or wherever you extracted the archive (Resulting in yas file), double click on the yas file to open AddonSync with it.


4c.) Click on the add to favorites button.  Close the current (Add favorite) tab.


4e.) This is a list with a bookmark.  Now double click on a bookmark.


4f.) Click the check addons button.


4g.) This is a basic listing of addons found on the remote server.  Since they are all green it means we are up to date.


If it shows red, you are out of date and need to click the download addons button.


5a.) Navigate to your actual explorer start menu items location, which holds all the shortcuts you see from your start menu.


5b.) Right click inside of the Start Menu folder (Assuming you have write permission, otherwise skip to create shortcut and use your desktop instead, or disable UAC on Vista/7)


5c.) Select Folder.  Call the folder Sahrani Life Reloaded


5d.) Traverse into the newly created folder.


5e.) Inside the Sahrani Life Reloaded Folder, right click, new, then select shortcut.


5f.) Type the path to your ArmA directory, located on your machine, and modify this displayed target to suit your layout.  Append the arguments -nosplash -world=empty -mod=@ace;@slr_addons to the end, making sure the path to the arma.exe including the drive letter up until the last e of the arma.exe is double quoted as shown.


5g.) Fill in the name as Sahrani Life Reloaded.


5h.) You may pin a shortcut to Sahrani Life Reloaded to your desktop or task list if you like.


6a.) For future reference, use the desktop or start menu, and make sure to periodically check for updates as previously shown.


7a.) SLR development server may return in the future but no promises for consistency of operation.

slr-m1.yas  (3 mbit/sec) (United States/Florida)

Be patient please, content/svn mirror is capped at 3mbit/s (~365kb/s).

A working mission is ready for tomorrow (or whenever) to be tested.  I have more changes to do, but functionally things are all there from new addons.  I'm setting up a spare machine for hosting.  Please talk to me if you're interested as I've previously stated.  I have read each private message and so long as you have updated, you are invited.  I'm working with a friend on a possible (on-demand) VPS for development.  I'll push tested missions out when we go live to the official server.

Have been testing for a little over an hour now with Strongbird.  If you have a problem with AS, ask me for a direct link (Due to change, be forewarned).

Added:
vibi.pbo (From Sahrani Life)

Updated:
usec_rig_a.pbo (Improved damage values)

Notes:
usec_rig_a depends on an external mission script for its damage effects.
vibi contains a new texture from killerc22 and improved damage values for one of the lublins.

All could be changed in some time, you have been warned.
Make sure you open Addon Sync and check for updates, download.

Should be up most of the time now thanks to Pederson.  No promises on being up more than a few days at a time though, for obvious reasons.

Sorry I didn't update this.  I had no support for development on this mission, the server was not truly dedicated.  30 members that still played this went to Mad T's server.  No matter how much I wanted to continue this, it is after all a complex piece of software and I am not the creator, nor do I know completely why things are done the way they are.  In this age, even with skill, it's hard if not impossible especially in drastic economic, and stressful times to work independently and alone on something so comprehensive without others to contribute, aid your development, provide adequate feedback and cover costs incurred to sustain such a modification.  Thank you to the few that did support my efforts.

I will not get into the software piracy discussion.  You don't need a CD Key except to play online, just like normal games.  You would need the mission to play this, and the mission wasn't shared public (Though the few testers probably have a copy) and would create a local multiplayer game with the mission in MPMissions of your ArmA folder in (My) Documents.  If you have ARMA 2 and need something to pick apart to figure out how to do things, Gangstar Wars was published by Bluevein and the City Life RPG a while ago, which is based on their ArmA(1) mission code.  What you do with it, is your risk.

Piracy <3, but i hope you understand that we can not discuss such a thing in public forums.
