As announced mid november the upcoming ACE3 release (v3.12.0) will make the transition to using [CBA Settings](https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/wiki/CBA-Settings-System){:target="_blank"} to control the many settings ACE3 has.
|
|
|
|
We have tried to make the change as smooth as possible.

## Players
|
|
|
|
All of your old (client settable) settings should transfer automatically.
|
|
|
|
The biggest change is how to access the settings now; from the escape menu hit `OPTIONS` and then `ADDON OPTIONS`.
|
|
|
|
## Mission Makers
|
|
|
|
Old mission should still be fully compatible with ACE3 v3.12.0.
|
|
|
|
However the old methods of changing settings (Setting Modules and `class ace_settings` in `description.ext`) are considered deprecated (old modules will still function, but new ones are no longer placeable).
|
|
|
|
All settings are also subject to backwards incompatible changes with future ACE3 versions. We recommend switching to changing settings via the CBA Eden Editor interface and deleting any old ACE Setting modules. From Eden Editor click on the `SETTINGS` -> `ADDON OPTIONS`.
|
|
|
|
## Server Admins
|
|
|
|
`ace_server.pbo` / `ACE_ServerSettings` has been removed in ACE3 v3.12.0.
|
|
|
|
Refer to CBA's [Server Settings](https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/wiki/CBA-Settings-System#server-settings){:target="_blank"} and [Userconfig](https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/wiki/CBA-Settings-System#userconfig){:target="_blank"} to change settings for your server.
|
|
|
|
### Convert your current server settings

## Addon / Script Makers
|
|
|
|
- ACE3 will convert all config based settings to CBA Settings automatically (except `typeName = "ARRAY"`).
|
|
- Non-public function `ace_common_fnc_addSettings` has been removed.
|
|
- Non-public function `ace_common_fnc_setSetting` has changed and may not function as before.
|
|
- It is critical that calls to `ace_common_fnc_readSettingFromModule` are now done **globaly** instead of just on the server.
|
|
|
|
It is also recommended to deprecate `(scope = 1;)` your custom setting modules.
|
|
|
|
- ACE Events `ace_settingsInitialized` and `ace_settingChanged` will continue to work normally.
