I like Six Updater myself. The GUI is basically terrible and it's horribly slow, but if you can deal with that it's really good at automagically updating all your mods, managing different mod-sets, and configuring launch options.

Got the Spirited Machine working once I'd been steered towards:

1. The correct @CBA package for Stable OA.

2. When the launched opens a tab in the task bar, but nothing appear, right click on it's logo in the status bar section and select "Reset window"

I also removed all the launch options stored in Steam for OA, BAF and PMC as the launcher has these options.

Why not use play withsix? It has an updated UI and you can connect to servers directly when using it (it'll also download all addons required by that server)

While I can't speak for Dogface, I use it because it's what I already have and it works well enough for me. Inertia is a powerful thing.

I personally use Spirited Machine at any time that I'm using mods. Very clean, super simple, lots of little customisations, and you can guarantee that it runs through Steam if you care about getting the Steam Community and hours logged and whatnot.

The main reason I recommend it is the folders and commandline. The command line is handled for you entirely but you can still directly edit it, should you need. And all mods (that use the '@modname' format) can be arranged into folders. From there, you can individually toggle activation for mods, whole folders, all mods in general, etc. Super duper useful. For example, I have a Terrain folder which contains all the extra terrains, an ACE folder, an ACRE folder, a folder for miscellaneous, and one called 'Essentials' which just contains ST_hud and ST_movement. /end ramble

So, yes. Spirited Machine is really good if you use lots of mods.

Crosstalk is a neat plugin which puts speakers in differnet places (part left ear, part right ear, etc.) when people are talking at the same time. It also lowers the volume of your channel when someone is whispering to you, and puts it in your right or left ear (customizable). It's a more enhanced version of a plugin earlier in this thread, and might be worth checking out.

Which version of CBA is currently recommended?
The link on the first page of this thread is to CBA 1.0.1pre2, which throws up some errors at launch, but otherwise behaves it self seemingly OK.

Is v.0.8.3 the way to go? And if so could somebody edit the first post in this thread to reflect that?

Version 1.0.0 is the correct one; https://dev-heaven.net/attachments/down ... .0pre10.7z
SixUpdater gives you the correct ones

I will be trying out Grizzly's recommendation for Crosstalk, it seems easily customizable and I always liked ear-specific channels in ACRE. Since the vanilla server doesn't run ACRE, I hope it's an acceptable clientside substitute!

Hi Comrades!

I found a nice mod on Armaholic, ClienSide and it's quite cool.

GDT Mod Grass
http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=6628

It changes the Grass in Chernarus and Utes, i get a better Performance and better visuals.

It should be compatible with FA, can anybody confirm this before I muck up the server next time I join?

Thanks!
