Weegie Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 VinnieJones Take a look at OVGME don't dismiss it as too hard. IMHO its an easier piece of software than JSGME, take a look give it a try & if you get stuck post up. I'll help & so will many others more competent than me (would not be difficult) Otherwise if dead set on JSGME load a second copy to the other version of DCS like you did for the first and the _Mods folder. Make shortcuts for both and rename the shortcuts so as you can distinguish between which JSGME is controlling the mods on which version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j-tk Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Any one got advice on texture Mods? The example gave some good advice, but the texture mods I want to install are texture pack name/world/then shapes and textures folders. Any tips on how to install this would be much Appreciated!

flyingscotsman Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Advice please. Have 'repaired' version of DCS 1.5.6 installed JSGME as per instrucitions, if found add on's and took snapshot, in about 10 mins. Have another copy of JSGME on E:\ Drive pointing to C:\Program Files\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha, no mention of add on's and ran all evening stuck at 3/4 way's. I took out the Nevada.surface 5, as suggested further back in the post, still getting 3/4 the way there. Any advice appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscotsman Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Finally got it working. I managed to delete the first attempts of taking the snapshot, The deleting of the jsgme.cfg file from the main game folder, got me back to 'clean' scan by JSGME and it worked. No idea why. Trial, errror, patience, works again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieHard Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Only problem is, in DCS Multiplayer are the servers that use the Integrity Check; most my mods won't pass the IC.

Shibbyland Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Hi, This might have come up before but I couldn't find a similar issue as I was searching. I've used JSGME with other games such as silent hunter without difficulty but I'm having a hard time getting it to work with DCS. I'd like to use it with DCS 2.0 open alpha. The issue I'm having is that I go to take a snapshot but it gets stuck at 70% and just never finishes. I gives no error message just keeps going and going. I've left it for up to 40 minutes. For now I've given up on it. Any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holton181 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Start use OvGME instead. Same but newer and actively maintained, I believe it has snapshot functionality to.

Shibbyland Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Thanks, yes I can't believe how much easier OvGME is to use. One quick question tho. I installed one sound mod for the spitfire and noticed a massive drop in framerate compared to having the mod deactivated. Is this possible with just a sound mod or is it just me?

Holton181 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Out of my knowledge. Guess you have to ask the maker of the mod. Sounds unlikely to have been caused by a modmanager though.

DracoLlasa Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) i was running JSGME today with the updated 2.5, and it continued to 'hang'. after a few failures i decide to take a closer look. after examining the snapshot file after each time it 'hung' i found the most likely cause was that it hit the file: DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\terrains\Caucasus\Surface\Caucasus.surface5 being a 32bit application, my guess is that its not able to load up this 6+GB file to generate the needed CRC (or whatever hash it uses), as this is where it seems to keep hanging. I will move to OvGME to see if that works better.

DracoLlasa Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Its ok, my guess/hope is that OvGME is 64bit, it will be able to hand the 6GB file.. since 32bit is limited to 4GB files and stuff.. thats why im assume JSGME is not longer a usable too with DCS, as it now contains single files larger than 4GB.. OvGME file snapshot process ran perfectly, so i will just have to stick with that going forward Edited February 9, 2018 by DracoLlasa [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i5 8600K OC @ 5.0GHz w/ Corsair H100i Liquid Cooler| MSI GTX 1080 OC Edition | 32GB DDR4 3600 | EVO 960 NVMe SSD | WD Black NVMe SSD Win10 X64 | TrackIR 5 | HTC Vive | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS and Cougar MFDs | Saitek Combat Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilgrillo Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 It takes about 2hrs to make the first task? I stopped the program. I think that something was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracoLlasa Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 You have to switch to OvGME, the 64bit version. Because the latest version of DCS:W has individual files larger than 4GB, the 32bit JSGME cannot perform a file snapshot which something want from a mod manager. Besides, OvGME is very easy and its being actively maintained.

Alpenwolf Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 How can I make JSGME work for both release and open beta DCS versions? Especially when you have to assign a "target location" as if to tell the mod where to operate.
