hi,
This tutorial is made for SIX_Updater_Suite_v0.3.2_setup but it should work with older or newer versions.
If you downloaded @CBA, @ACE, @ACEX, @ACEX_SM, @ACEX_PLA from armaholic or any other download sites DELETE THEM or this procedure is useless. You are warned so don't yell if it doesn't work.
NB: if you use fire fox refresh or the webpage will show "unable to connect".
Tutorial vid to configure and use RSyn here but it doesn't show how to add the islands or other addon like zeus AIs.
Here's a step by step tutorial on how to use RSyn Updater.
Wtf is this sh*t?
Rsync Updater is a tool for ArmA mods, to streamline the distribution, installation and update process of them.
The tool uses Rsync to perform most of its tasks.
Why the hell should I use it?
It uses realtime delta-patching to only transfer the changes between the mod on the user's computer, and the current server version.
This saves an incredible amount of bandwidth, for both, the servers, and the end-users, and streamlines the whole process of (possible) continuous updates.
OK let's start...
1- Dowload Six Updater Here
2- Install it.
3- Start six updater - GUI.
a) An MS-DOS window is opened.
b) After the MS-DOS window is opened this will automaticly open a web interface after a few seconds. If not then browse to http://localhost:16333. If you use win7 run the application "As Administrator". Page may take a bit long to show... so, wait for it. If it is taking too long for you using FireFox refresh the webpage. Or fire up IE and enter http://localhost:16333.
4- Ok now we will set the program to don't have to do it everytime.
a) Click on Configuration (Not anything in the submenu). Click on synchromize you don't need a username or password.
b) Click Settings in the submenu of Configuration.
c) Make sure updater correctly found & setup your Arma2 folder.
d) Click Presets in the submenu of Configuration.
e) Choose ACE mod Vanillia preset and click the Edit button to the right of it..
f) Scroll down to Mods and add the mods you want the updater to manage by choosing them from the list and clicking Add Existing. Press Update, below, when it's done.
g) The selected mods should apear in the mods list column.
h) Click on main, select the Preset you edited (ACEmod), choose Install or Update from the Action list, untick Autoskip and click Execute.
i) A new MS-DOS window should open displaying the install/update process progress. The updater will now install/update automaticly the selected mods in your ArmA2 folder.
5- Now that the tool is set correctly you can update your addons at any time.
a) Start six updater - Console.
b) A new MS-DOS window should open displaying the install/update process progress.
This update all the mods.
Create a shortcut or use a launcher and enjoy.
NB: DO NOT change the name of any mod folder or the updater will not reconize them during the next update.
When does the ACE2 team make updates?
During BETA, 18:00 GMT on:
Mondays

Fridays
Unless severe issues found, then other days might have an hotfix update.
