DaiSan Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) After plenty of requests I have reposted these (in my opinion) MUST HAVE client side addons for ArmA II (they work in OA too).

Hajimoto Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I agree that STHUD is an awesome add-on and should be allowed on SPARTA servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaiSan Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 I agree that STHUD is an awesome add-on and should be allowed on SPARTA servers. It is, as well as Digital Compass and a few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hajimoto Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) It is, as well as Digital Compass and a few others. You say it is, but STHUD requires CBA. Whenever I try to join a SPARTA server with CBA I am greeted with a non accepted key error and bounced. It also points to the CBA_OA not being accepted which is part of the lastest CBA 6.0 pak. Have DC and STHUD been added to a SPARTA pak for OA, if so can you share the link to the pak? Thanks Edited August 9, 2010 by Hajimoto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batwing~SPARTA~ Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I tried to install the STHUD pak and gave me all sort of errors and missing files. I tried ti nstall some missing packs and then yet errors, so I gave up. Addons are nice, but either they are nice and clean and most importantly they come with clear instructions, or for me their perfect locaation is my trash can ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchman~SPARTA~ Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Similar issues here, I have both mods installed and OA sees that I have them but the digital compass doesn't work and the HUD errors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 The at_gui mod works wonderfully by increasing the size of the compass, and doesn't need any cba or anything like that. It may take a second or two longer to bring it up, but it's the only mod I can't live without so far. Here it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaiSan Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Ok, T1 is right. It is nothing to do with the addons. There is a specific version of CBA that is allowed on the SPARTA servers and it get's overwritten when you install ACE. You should have a backup of this as explained in the ACE install. If not then you can download it from Here Once this is running they should work (please note that the Digital Compass needs switching on when you are in game. Just spawn on the server then hit escape and you will see a button on the top right to turn it on). You can also make the Digit Font larger, (catch me on TS for easy instructions).

I've never installed ACE, so no chance of anything being overwritten. When I next go in game I'll write down the error I get that relates to the HUD. As for the digital compass, I didn't know that you had to "switch it on", so hopefully that will work. Will report back either tomorrow night or most likely Wednesday.

Watchman~SPARTA~ Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 OK, compass works. For the HUD, before I get the game on screen I get an error message that says: "Addon ST_FTHud requires addon Extended_EventHandlers"....... any ideas? Thanks.

Extended EventHandlers are part of the CBA addon mentioned in my earlier post. You need to have this running in your expansions for the FireTeam HUD to work. Also one point to note, when you first spawn, the FireTeam HUD will NOT appear until you join a group with players in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batwing~SPARTA~ Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 yep I had the same issue with the FT-Hud. It was not working. However, make sure u have the CBA 0.2.0, u can download it from Sparta forum. Then be sure if you are using the in-game "expansion" settings, you have to have the CBA loading BEFORE the Hud mod. Yesterday worked perfectly, and I have to say, when it works is a very nice add-on !! very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebe, for the bigger compass, just put the file down below in your root directory and then put -mod=#@at in the target line and you should be good. @at.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman~SPARTA~ Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Can someone check the downloads section, please? I tried to dl the CBA mod so I could get the HUD to work but the link appears to be corrupt: I get the download box on the screen but as soon as I hit "save" it craps out and I get an error message telling me explorer has stopped working. Was able to dl from a few other random sites so I'm guessing it's a Sparta specific issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I just checked it, the link works try this http://www.legionofsparta.net/downloads/Games/ArmA%202/Mods/CBA_v0-2-0.7z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to get it from the mirrio site that was listed. So I can download files ok, just not from the Sparta DL section? Doesn't make sense to me, any ideas?

T_1 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Bump, Used the Fireteam HUD for the first time last night in CO-OP, and it's brilliant for knowing where your squad is and moving in formation. If you haven't got it (you know who you are) then it's worth getting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
