The DCS Updater / Launcher GUI Utility Version 2.0 (2023+)

The link for the unlicensed mod MB 339 A/PAN is dead, they've put the mod behind a registration wall now.

Also why not have LotATC4 as an external program/link?

Would also be super handy if you can make SRS an external application that can be set to launch like Teamspeak can be.

Thanks for the good work!

Links for both the A-4E-C and MB339 will be updated in next build.

Like i've said, SRS will likely be added, but I cannot add every mod to the launch list, which is why the scripts option exists.

Hi, I noticed 3 issues.

ver. 1.1.0.1023 / 5.26.2019

1. Updater do not recolonized installed campaigns all of them are maker in read

2. I have move userdir to D drive but Updater created another SaveGames dir on C drive, probably it should read where user home dir is...

D:\Users\<user>\Saved Games

C:\Users\<user>\Saved Games\DCS Updater Utility

3. Lunching TeamSpeak cause:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
   <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Some Filenames/Paths Changed, will be fixed/amended in next app build, applies to all modules IIRC.

There will likely be a delay for the next release as I am working on extensive under the hood changes to how it scans, and hopefully the process management for the DCS processes can get done, but that's proving to be troublesome, as the ID's are never the same, nor the username, so I have to script it to be universal, likely try to populate a list of processes with process name and "path" and a end process button that kills the process from said path, if I can get that to work correctly, otherwise the process management will stay as is for the next build.

How do we submit bug reports?

Hi Skatezilla,

How do you want bug reports sent through. Your app has been working great until a .net update came through today and now the GUI Updater wont launch at all.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
   <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

For TeamSpeak, File is Missing.

For User Folder, App Uses: Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile).

Every two weeks or so the window don't show up on start. I need to reset the user.config file with a backup.

Now I did a compare of the good and the brocken file and I hope this will help Skatezilla to fix it.

I've two monitors and my Rift S. Maybe it is a small bug related to saving the window position?

Working backup file:

<setting name="MainFormLocation" serializeAs="String">

<value>15, 310</value>

</setting>

Broken:

<setting name="MainFormLocation" serializeAs="String">

<value>-32000, -32000</value>

</setting>

Thanks I'm still trying to Isolate why the App goes to that X,Y.

The Reset Location Option in the System Tray Menu is Supposed to reset the Position to 0,0

I just found this app today, wonderful!

However, when i start it i cannot do anything except click on dedicated server. I was hoping to use it to switch the dedicated server between open beta and release versions (if that is possible - some have hinted it is).

I do have only open beta dedicated server running in this system. I am not able to click on updater settings or anything else to configure the utility or my dedicated server software. The only button that is hot is dedicated server mode, but even clicking that does nothing.

I also do not have a config file either in the folder the app is in nor the folder it creates in saved games.

Does it not work with just the open beta dedicated server installed?

Happy to help with testing.

You need to click on the small Application Settings tab to route the app to your DCS file and Saved Games DCS folder. Then click Verify and the two red boxes should turn green indicating success.

Click on the Home tab and you should see your build(s) populated in the drop down menu.

Prelim. Changelog for Upcoming Version:

-Condensed Functions Code

-Rewritten Module Scanning Code

-SRS Added to External Applications List

-Adjusted A-4EC and MB-339 Links

-Process Management Cleaning, Setting up for a new process management system.

-Added Fw-190 A8 Assets

-Added F/A-18C Aggressors Campaign Assets

-Added Jagdflieger Campaign Assets

Maybe early next week, as I'm still working on some other things to include.

@gordon200, thx! that was the little bit i was missing. looks good now.

if i only have dedicated server installed, do i need to use the dedicated server mode button to launch it?

Sorry for delay in new releases, I know it's been a while, but I'm still working on tracking Processes by ID and a system to manage them cleanly.

If Anything, the ability to manage processes will be abandoned, since task manager will do the job better anyway.

And the Lock preventing multiple instances from being run automatically will be adjusted, but that will also require re-vamping the preset's system as well.

It may shift to each build having a quick launch button next to each build that will remain enabled, so you can quick launch other builds while retaining the preset option for the selected build.

Changelog for v8.02.2019.1 / 1.1.0.1024:

-Condensed Functions Code

Can someone tell me what this does, the advantages and disadvantages of doing this. Or point to a thread.

Thanks,

Thanks,

This is good practice after an update, so if any shaders are changed in an update you don't have legacy files to corrupt the graphics, or at the least to clutter things up.

Does the DCS Updater GUI Utility also work with the DCS beta dedicated server?

Thanks

Hello! When starting the Updater Utility version 1.1.0.1024 / 8.2.2019, it asks me to update and when I click on "yes" the app crashes with the following error text. Updating is no longer possible. What could be the reason?
