homepage Forums Land & Armor Combat ARMA Series !!!! Mod updates +new way to get it all !!!!

Got it guvnor!

I should of started this thing earlier than this weekend.

Most files are coming down at around 230kbs (my connection is 50mbs) and waking up this morning to check it, there's noway I'll have all 40gb done by this evening.

What does "Error . Repo version mismatch" mean? (Occurs when I hit the little reload prompt over SimHQ in Swifty)

that its not the same, does it recheck it and download anything at all?

No. Doesn't do anything. I thought the repository was wrong...as in wrong address. But that is the same. I'll try to log on tonight when you spool up MM and see if it works. I don't believe you've updated anything since I downloaded successfully a couple of weeks ago.

nope, nothings been updated since i did the first post

After the previous issue a year ago with that radio thingy and now two failed Mondays in a row, I have come to the conclusion that I lack sufficient grey matter to play modded flavors of ARMA with others.

nonsense! they'll be one little thing missing, any chance of a screengrab of your swifty shq settings and of the arma3 launcher? It could be one little typo messing it all up

Yep, smokin, no way. As Meat mentions, post a screenshot and we'll work it out.

I think maybe I got it. For brevity I had used "SHQ" instead of SHQ_Modset as the title for the folder. As in ../common/ARMA/SHQ. That was the case in Shifty as well. I renamed it to "SHQ_Modset" and now the game loads with no "missing this", "missing that" warnings. However, Shifty still shows the "Repo mismatch" warning. So...who knows? Well I am becoming tedious even to myself. I'm like one of those rich people paying $$$ to get Sherpas to "short-rope" them up Everest. Some people should just stay off the mountain.

It defaults it's download into documents/swifty (or did for me). I just had to move that to my mod folder and that was it. It auto added it to the launcher and it worked.

Nothing in documents for me except /Arma and /Arma/Other Profiles.

Can you please take screenshots of your swifty stuff, the directory of arma3 (showing the folders) and the arma 3 launcher where you activate the mods? If you don't supply these, I'm not sure effective we can be in helping you.

that link wont work, due to the way the websites set up you need to have a double '\\' so it reads http://www.arma3mav.co.uk//downloads/mods/ , note the double // after the address

Also for good measure i double checked every server end and thats all as it should be, so its not that.

theres not an actual webpage "page" as such for the link, its a folder withen the public html section that just holds the repo, so the wordpress blog will show a 404.

I wasnt aware swifty had been updated, i'll start again from scratch today and see if i run into the same issues, it may be that i might have to rebuild the repo.

ugh, seems he changed how it worked a little for that latest version, re-upping the config ... will report back.

This'll only effect new users, so those who already have it downloaded dont have to do anything

So is the issue fixed?

And if so, could this also be what was causing trouble for Smokin?

I was just about to come on and tell you to try again, repo finished uploading after i'd gone to bed, glad its all working

now .. the million doller question ..... will everyone on the old swifty have to update their swifty version ?? .... any willing volunteers who know what their doing and dont need walking through it wanna give it a try for us after tonight? (i had to update to re-do the repo!)

Sorry. I've not browsed the ARMA section in some time. Swifty is downloading updates now. I've changed nothing. Of course downloading and playing are very different...

Would successful users of the SHQ/RHS mod (meaning just about all of you) mind posting the version of Swifty you are using? I am using 2.1.5.6 released March 3 and have continued to get the Repo "missmatch" irrespective of what I have tried. Thanks.
