Garfieldo Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 placing a dumb (empty) launcher.exe into \bin\Stable will get modman working again awesome! thank you very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix FR Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 /bin/stable changed to /bin/x86/stable, I guess that needs to be updated in modman. May you confirm me that path change ? If the original path change to : /bin/x86/stableHere is the way better than the exe copy. 1-Go in your modman installation folder. 2- Edit the modman.ini file 3- Find : GAME_NAME = DCS series4- Change that line : GAME_EXE = bin\stable\launcher.exeto GAME_EXE = bin\X86\stable\launcher.exeThat change will works only if you run the last version of DCS, and if the launcher.exe file has been moved. I'll have to re-install DCS to check. The solution i provide is only based on what you wrotte, and what i understand. Check too if if the DCS.exe is still in the same folder as before.

ScEBlack1 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 This still does not work for me to get modman, keeps closing modman even after I go to the bin\x86\stable folder??? any ideas why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I believe the post #103 ini edits simply change the "Start Game" and "Start Game (Multi)" buttons on the Modman main dialog. The dummy launcher.exe in \bin\stable seems to be necessary for Modman to discover the "root." After the root is established I deleted my dummy launcher.exe and it seems not to care again.

Phoenix FR Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I finished downloading the last patch yesterday evening, so i will run tests this morning, and see with Skypat to provide a new version (maybe not today the new version). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix FR Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) Here is the solution without any copy. I ran test on the last Modman version. So please upgrade to that version. My solution may work on 7.1 version, but i don't remember if we did change in the ini file between 7.1 and 7.2 version. But for a maximum compatibility between BS and FC2 addon, i invite you to update Modman. Before doing anything uninstall all your BS addon. It's very important, because we wil generate new references files. 1- Install Modman 7.2 2- Go in your modman installation folder. 3- Edit the modman.ini file 4- Go at the end of the file, and copy the following text : [game15] GAME_NAME = DCS series 1.0.2 GAME_ID = dcs 1.0.2 GAME_REGKEY = GAME_REGKEY_PATH = Path GAME_EXE = bin\x86\stable\launcher.exe GAME_EXE_OPTION = -console GAME_EXE_MP = bin\x86\stable\simulator.exe GAME_EXE_MP_OPTION = -net gui GAME_TEXTURETEMP_PATH = Bazar\TempTextures\ APP_MISC_FEATURE = MISC_CAT3 APP_CATALOG_EXTENSION = .CDDS APP_INI_MANAGEMENT = 0 APP_FILE_MANAGEMENT = 1 APP_CFG_MANAGEMENT = 1 APP_ADDON_DB = addon.lma3 APP_ADDON_URL = APP_CATEGORIE = required\CAT_dcs.txt5- Save the ini file and close it. 6- Run Modman, and Select DCS 1.0.2 at the end of the list. 7- Indicate the root directory. New catalogue files will be generate. A new addon folder will be generate. Copy your DCS Addon inside. Edited May 16, 2010 by Phoenix FR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederf Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 ModMan 7.2 writes skin entries in graphics.cfg for DCS:BS 1.02 but the game now reads from graphics_bs.cfg. A small change along with the "game15" ini edit would be a very nice quick update for ModMan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skypat Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) these GOOD tweaks will not work for skins/textures due to graphics_bs.cfg changes you must wait for ModMan 7.3 (this week-end) if you can't wait, just UNCHECK "when possible, install texture in CDDS files', so ModMan will use temptexture folder and all skins will work (with few fps loss) Best regards Skypat Edited May 19, 2010 by Skypat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allo Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Ok. This 'How To' is seven pages long and I'm thinking that maybe the description on page one is no longer valid. Or could it just be a mistake I'm making? I have a skin that I made awhile ago, it worked, but after patch 1.01 was appearing invisible. I have now decided to fix whatever was going wrong, but now it isn't even showing up in the game skin selection list at all. I installed my skin with ModMan 7.3 and got the green bar indicating that it was installed correctly but it didn't show up in game. I then repackaged my skin following the instructions on page one but still a no go. If the description on page one is still correct, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. If anyone's interested, who knows what their doing, to have a look at the file and see what is going wrong, would be much appreciated. Below is a screen shot of when it was working.

Vekkinho Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I'm trying to convert some FC1.12 skins I've made for 3GO Su-27 model into a FC2 ModMan compatible skin package that instead of replacing existing (default) skins adds more slots to RUS and UKR. These skins are made after real Flankers in use by those two countries and I'd like to see them in game too. I used 3GO Su-27 template and created like 6 (or 7) skins in total. I'll try generating CLSID keys, that give me the most headache so if I get stuck you'll hear from me soon! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
