vctpil Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hi, Probably a stupid question, but I didn't find the answer on the forum. Just to confirm, if I create a template and want to save it just in case I have to re-install DCS, I have to save the templates.lua file, correct ?

Rudel_chw Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Just to confirm, if I create a template and want to save it just in case I have to re-install DCS, I have to save the templates.lua file, correct ? There are two types of Templates: Unit Templates & Static Templates; and both are stored at /Users/your-user/Saved Games/DCS/ ... so they are not affected if you re-install DCS. Unit templates are at /MissionEditor/templates.lua/ while Static Templates are on the /StaticTemplate/ folder. However, you can back them up if you want, just by saving the whole /Saved Games/DCS/ (or DCS.openbeta) folder.

vctpil Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Very good, thanks. But I don't have StaticTemplate folder. How is it created ?

Rudel_chw Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) But I don't have StaticTemplate folder. How is it created ? When you save your first Static Template, the Mission Editor will create it for you. I've found this kind of Template more useful than the Units template, so I've edited quite a few: :) Edited June 20, 2019 by Rudel_chw For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vctpil Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Ok, I have placed static object and save it as template, but the folder does not appear! What am I supposed to do in DCS for the folder to appear ? Thanks.

vctpil Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 I am running the stable version. I tried a FARP and a bridge without results. What kind of objects did you place ?

hornblower793 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I have just retried with a Road outpost and various FARP elements (having first deleted the StaticTemplate folder). Then selected the SAVE STATIC TEMPLATE option from the EDIT menu in the Mission Editor - went to file explorer and the StaticTemplate folder had been recreated with the new file in it.

Rudel_chw Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Ok, I have placed static object and save it as template, but the folder does not appear! Strange ... if you create it manually, using windows file manager, and then save a static template, does the template file appear pn that folder?

Rudel_chw Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 No, again nothing. Here is a Tutorial on Static Template usage ... it doesnt cover the aspect of where the templates are stored, but please see it and confirm that you are saving your template the way the tutorial shows: oi6VioycdQw When you get to load your template, does it appear on the list?

vctpil Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 Found it! I am really stupid! After created the template, I have to save it via EDIT/Save static template, and I was using the icon template only. Thanks all for your advises.
