Ranger79 Base Objects Pack (Hesco's + others)

[Skulleader]

I hope that this Mod will be work very long time because it's a must to have

[Skulleader]

Ranger79, do you think add other elements to your Mod ?

Other upgrade for the future ?

Thanks, Skull.

I'm unable to find the objects loaded with OvGME. Am I looking in the wrong place?

 

Mission Editor

 

Also, If I include some of your objects in a mission will the objects be included in the .miz file when it is published? Sorry if this is a noob question, just starting to get into mission building.

Hi

 

It seems that your excellent work doesn't work anymore in 2.1 version.

 

Hope you will fix that soon.

 

 

Thanks !

[USSInchon]

It works for me, you just now have to place the mods folder in the DCS saved games file rather than the DCS root folder.

[jef32]

Thanks

 

Someone else gave me the solution before and it works for me.

I TRYED TO RUN THIS IN 1.5.8 DCS AND JSGME AND OVGME DOESNT RECONIZE THIS?

HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM? SHAME THESE MODS CANT BE INSTALLED INTO NEWER VERSIONS?:mad:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UPDATED 04/27/2016 (Confirmed working in newest DCS Versions)

 

 

For your mission building enjoyment, I present to you Ranger79's Mod Pack:

(Version 2.4.1).

 

Bugs:

- Some vehicles driver views cannot be used due window material issue.

- Many of the vehicles are not made for CA, but rather to enhance mission builders with a different variation. Please do not ask for driver views, etc if a vehicle is not driveable.

 

Changes:

Added the Chassis definitions directly in the unit LUA, this removes the dependency on DB_Units_Cars.lua

Removed the Chassis folder and DB_unists_Cars.lua file

Removed Duplicate Sound Files that are already defined by default install of DCS

*Reduced the number of files in the mod to maintenance and changes distinguishable from DCS files

*Removed the _Backup copies of units these have been there a while and we have not needed them, standard maintenance cleanup

 

JSGME Version for latest DCS Versions as of 4/27/2016 Download Link HERE

 

(Units located under "Fortifications" unless otherwise specified)

Easily make templates and save for future use!

 

 

2.4 includes:

 

-Static C5 Aircraft

-Patrol HMMV with and without red emergency lights

-OshKosh ATV (CA ready) created by Lilkiki

-Oshkosh MTVR Mk23 (CA ready) created by Lilkiki

-Air Force One Static

Location / How to Place Units in Mission Editor:

 

Hope this helps:

 

The location of all units is under the "Add or Modify Ground Vehicle Group" icon (tank)

 

Select the icon, choose your faction and go to "Fortifications" for most objects, vehicles are located under "Armor" and "Unarmed." Insurgent Manpad & Windmill are located under "Air Defence"

 

Place your unit

Hello rwsd_1 ;)

 

Yes it's normal, in fact with DCS 1.5.8 you must change your mods folder place as here: C:\Users\XX\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\tech

 

Before DCS 1.5.8 it was here: C:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\tech

Now with DCS 1.5.8 here: C:\Users\XX\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\tech

 

For me all my Mods work fine, try it and tell us if it's good now...:thumbup:

[rwsd_1]

Thanks for the advice I did try that and I wasnt sure if I put mod folder in c: / saved games// dcs folder or create a new one and then another one called tech?

 

sorry new to all this. I had to revert back to 1.5.7 which isnt very good. I have lost half my mods. Ranger 79 mod is in a folder but I cannot view it in Mission builder or when I am playing?

Wow that looks amazing im not sure what I am doing wrong then. I put the correct path into JSGME / put the mods into the correct folder but nothing happend.

 

"C:\Users\Rwsd\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\tech"

[rwsd_1]

let me know if im installing this correctly? many thanks RD

[rwsd_1]

i can see blank black pages with the names of the objects in ENCYLOPEDIA? but nothing comes up or shows?

[Skulleader]

Hello again,

 

I'm very sorry for the delay of my answer, in fact you can tested without using JSGME ?

 

 

In first unzip the file "Ranger79s Mod Pack 2.4.1" and use my method:

 

Try to just copy the complete folder named "Ranger Pack" here: C:\Users\XXXX\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\tech

 

In fact you must just paste the complete folder "Ranger Pack" into "Mods" ---> "tech" and normaly everything work fine.

For all Mods never I use JSGME, I copy & past all the folders into "Mods" ---> "tech" and it's OK.

I use this method since many years and no problems, I use the Mod "Ranger Pack" with DCS 1.5.8 "Stable version" and 1.5.8 "OpenBeta" and it's OK.

 

Here I join you few screenshots from my installation:

 

 

First image, here you can see where I past my folder "Ranger Pack":

 

 

 

 

 

Here you can see all the folders inside "Ranger Pack":

 

 

 

 

 

And if you follow well my explanation when you're into the Mission Editor you can find all the objects from this Mod here: Static Objects -----> Category ----> Structures ----> and after inside "Type" like my last screenshot:

 

 

 

 

 

Please can you tell me if this time this Mod work fine or not ?

[Morpheus]

ATTENTION: you have a folder "Sounds" in the mod, you have to copy/paste this folder in Saved Games\DCS, not in ...\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\tech :music_whistling:

[Skulleader]

Yes Morpheus it's correct +1

[rwsd_1]

thank you so much that worked. do i need to use OVGME or JSGME for other mods tho? 1_ships_bunker_flak still doesnt work in dcs?

 

I assume all folder need to be correct for them to work with mods / tech ? thank you sp much

[Skulleader]

Hello,

So if I well understand "Ranger Pack" work fine now with your DCS ?

If it's the cas I'm very happy because it's not always simple to explain how installed these Mods.

 

Concerning JSGME or other softwares I don't know because for all my Mods and all the change for DCS I install all these Mods manualy, for me it's the better solution for knowing how work DCS and how DCS he's building.

Each time I try to understand, sometime it's not easy but finaly it's a real pleasure when I succeed.

 

The good question is about all these Mods which makes more better and beautiful our DCS 1.5.8, with the future DCS 2.5 these Mods will be compatible ?

 

After that, the Caucasus map is a real Masterpiece (from the screenshots available) that I've seen, just wait for know if all the Mods for DCS 1.5.8 work fine with DCS 2.5...

 

Please can you tell me if "Ranger Pack" work fine now ?

Bye, Skull.

[rwsd_1]

yes thanks again so much for your help. Ranger pack is working and I got all my mods back in. yeah the file system is complicated

[Ryback]

Guys ,

 

Whoever can't get to work static object mods, remove the mods from tech folder in main directory (e.g X://Program Files/Eagle Dynamics... ) and create a folder in your users directory as described and paste them in it.I don't know if it's relevant but it worked for me (1.5.8 and 2.2)

Edited December 17, 2017 by Ryback

[Esac_mirmidon]

DONT REMOVE THE TECH FOLDER NEVER EVER if you have Combined Arms or WWII units.

 

Remove custom mods inside except those two.

[Skulleader]

Esac Mirmidon,

 

Please can you confirm that we don't delete the folder "tech" from this path: C:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods ??

 

Thanks in advance, Skull.

Sorry guys i can't know that.I don't have WWII and CA.Thanks for the heads up.I'll edit the post above as "remove the mods from the main directory and transfer them to users directory"

 

Yes, i made it and its working now. Can you recommend me any others nice ground object mods?

 

I'm using VPC mod.It's quite good.Not interested other than that.

[rwsd_1]
