Addon Tents, Watchtower, UH-1-Cargo

[DSPALLASVI]

Just download the 'all_addons.miz' from upuaut's dropbox, and with "Cargo + Helipads + external fuel-tank for the UH-1 + Hospital + Seafort + Red Sands + Racegates" (439MB)activated in JSGME, this is the view in the game; only the oilrig and Tango ship are showing... there's no helipads on land, as shown are present in the Mission Editor.....

Am running out of ideas and options to try to make this work. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

 

I had to uninstall the last helipad-cargos-racegates-hospital after the last update of 1.5 because all was ok in single mission but the multiplayer didn't run. (not only a server but impossible to go on multiplayer screen). After i disabled the add-on with JSGME, all was OK.

 

You confirm, i have good read: the file ships-bunkers-flak-tents DCS 1.55.exe is good for the both version of DCS ?

 

Thanks !

Hi,

 

I think something is wrong with your installation of the mods.

I have tested all mod with a new installation and everything is working.

upauat, I have downloaded the latest mods from your dropbox (12/31/'16), have done a v1.5.5 repair and can see the structures in Mission Editor Preview window to select, but nothing shows up in game.

Am using JSGME to install mod... and "Helipads_Cargo_RaceGates_Hospital v1.5.5" is the only mod installed.

Have added line in autoexec.cfg file too.

What am I missing here?:(

[razo+r]

just to test, you should install it without JSGME and if that works, you know something isn't right set up with JSGME or how you installed it with JSGME

[DSPALLASVI]

How do I install it without JSGME?

[razo+r]

take a look at post #639

Hi,

 

if you open the mod, the "exe" and "rar" files can be opened with winrar or 7zip or something similar, you can see the folderstucture "BAZAR, DATA, MODS, Scripts, Sounds". Just copy the folders to your DCS installation.

 

If you use JSGME, create a folder in your JSGME _MOD folder and insert the folders "BAZAR, DATA, MODS, Scripts, Sounds" from the mod to this created folder.

 

If you run the "exe" files, which are selfextracting rar files, just choose your JSGME _MOD folder for extraction.

[DSPALLASVI]

Appreciate the advice. But am not seeming to have much luck with this. Normally can figure things out pretty quickly, but this is evading me at every turn.

 

Unzip, & Paste:

Opened the mod file and unzipped the 5 folders.... moved the folders to the DCS root structure (after backing up original 5 folders already there), but now DCS won't even start anymore.

Reverted back to original DCS root 5 file folders, and DCS starts fine again... but no mods working of course.

 

Using JSGME:

Created new JSGME Mod folder ['-Mod'], pointed jSGME to the new folder, unzipped the 5 (five) folders into the new _Mod folder..., run JSGME..., started DCS..., created a new mission (Huey on airfield, select and place Comm tower with helipad in Mission Editor - All mods structures [bambi bucket, FARP, various Towers are showing in the Mission Editor Preview Window:music_whistling:)...

 

Results:

Then choose to fly the mission just made → Huey shows up on airfield, but there is no structure to be found anyway.

The only thing that shows is the Bambi bucket is showing where I placed it in the grass off the runway... nothing else....:cry: :helpsmilie:

 

edit:

razo+r:

Followed Post #639 suggestion:

If i'm not mistaking, just place the mod into this directory:

.../DCS World/mods/tech

if you don't have the tech folder, create a folder named "tech"

Created a 'tech' folder in my Mod folder, placed the Mod in that folder → same results, no helipads or other structures showing around airport

Hi, with the mod/tech folder it is not working for the helipads/cargos.

 

Did you create a new folder inside the JSGEME _MOD folder? This new folder is shown in JSGME as the Mod you can select and install.

 

e.g.: your JSGME _MOD Folder - new Folder (names the Mod) - the folders Bazar, Scripts, etc.

 

This is how my folder structure looks like where Bazar and Scripts are inside:

K:\games\DCS World OpenBeta 1.5\_Mods\Helipads_only 1.5.5\

Hi, thanks for the help.

Have a 'Mod' folder in my DCS root folder that JSGME uses for the various mods. Any of the other Mods I activate with JSGME work fine.

 

The thing that puzzles me is that when I have the Helipads Mod activated in JSGME, it shows me the various structures to choose from in the ME preview window; I can select it, place it, and save the mission.. but when I get to the game / fly screen, there's no structure.

Here is my pathway to the Mod folder where:

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\Helipads_Cargo_RaceGates_Hospital_M117_1.5.5

 

Both 'Helipads_Cargo_RaceGates_Hospital_M117_1.5.5' and 'Helipads_only 1.5.5' (only one can be activated at a time) give me the same results → preview OK, in game nothing visible.

[HUEY]

My path is :ED/DCS World/Mods/MODS.

last MODS is created by JSGME.

I copy the unzipped Mods in and activated in JSGME. nothing(selectable in JSGME) That goes for Helipads_ Cargo_ RaceGates_Hospital........... and Helipad only

I created a Folder ..... Mods/tech, copy Wolf WASP,Fuchs WASP, Tent, Ship Cargo in and i can see and handle the Tents, Jeeps, and Ships and LZ´s ME and Mission.

Correct me if I am wrong you should make a folder called " _Mods " and this is where you put third party mods..

 

Like this " D:\DCS World\_MODS " and works great for me...:thumbup:

Puzzled now:dontgetit::confused:;

Am I to understand that there should be a folder called '_MODS' inside the 'DCS\Mods' folder?

I have all my Mods inside a Mods folder in the DCS structure, (ED\DCS World\Mods\), and they have always worked that way... unless something has changed in the JSGME workings recently...:(

Interesting I've had my setup since day one when JSGME came out...

[funkyfranky]

No, your _MODS folder should be in the DCS\ folder, i.e. DCS\_MODS in order not to interfere with the DCS\Mods folder.

 

The content of DCS\_MODS is then copied to DCS\Mods if you enable a mod and removed if you disable it.

[DSPALLASVI]

funkyfranky, ah, that could make sense in a way... I'm going to try that...

 

Follow-up:

Well, put all my Mods in the folder 'DCS World\_MODS'..., pointed JSGME to that folder, and can now see that when activated by JSGME, the activated folder files appear in 'DCS World\MODS\Tech', for as along as JSGME keeps the particular Mods activated.

→ De-Activate any Mod in JSGME; and the relevant folder disappears out of DCS World\MODS\Tech.

 

Though now I'm still stuck with no Helipads, no towers etc.

Upauat mentioned copying the content of the 'World\Textures\staddon' (which has 255 files) to 'TempTextures\staddons' (which has 322 files)...

Does anyone here have experience with that?

The second MODS was created by JSGME.As Long as i understood i have to put the mods into this Folder.:confused:

[funkyfranky]

JSGME by default creates a MODS folder. But with DCS it is a problem since in the main DCS directory there already is a folder with this name. Hence, you have to choose a different name for the JSGME folder and most people choose _MODS.

[upuaut]

Maybe the screenshots can help.

Well, if you look at upuaut pictures I did create the JSGME _Mods folder in the correct place..if I remember correctly during your first install it tells you to create a " _Mods " folder so not to confused " DCS/Mods folder " directory...and also you see in the picture the JSGME _Mods folder is placed in the main directory of DCS...:thumbup:

 

To further clarify: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=98607 look at step three, it clearly shows its in DCS main directory and and mentions you to make a folder called " _MODS "

It's getting to be 21:30 here now, and have spent most of the day trying to figure this out.....:(... though not seeming to make much progress I'm afraid... Have worked my way through the 67 pages of this post, and have tried various solutions, but none seem to have any effect.

Did another 'DCS Repair' this afternoon and downloaded the 'Helipads_Cargo_RaceGates_Hospital v1.5.5' once again

 

Below are my locations of the '_MOD' and 'MOD' folders...

As you can see, only 'Helipads_Cargo_RaceGates_Hospital v1.5.5' is activated in JSGME, and as far as I can see it is located in the proper folder at 'DCS World\_MOD'.

 

The DCS' 'MOD' folder does not show the 'Helipads...' mod, though there is a 'Tech' folder now, but that shows only the 'Huey-1_ext_Fueltank' folder.

 

To be honest, I am running out of ideas where to even start to look anymore to figure this out....

 

Sure appreciate the feedback and help...

[upuaut]

Hi,

 

it looks like everything is correct installed.

 

Is it possible to upload your mission file, and the dcs.log file? You can find the log file in your "saved games" folder.

C:\Users"your username"\Saved Games\DCS World\Logs

 

Just for clarification. You can olny use one of the mods (Helipdas, Cargos or Helipads+Cargos) at the same time. You should also get a warning from JSGME, if you try to activate mods, which are modded the same files.

 

 

[HUEY]

@ All

I think it was the Mods/MODS Folderstory.

after moving and renaming JSGME Folder and reinstalling JSGME.every Thing is woring fine (for now:music_whistling:)

@ Upuaut

there is a missing Texture at the RaceGates /Water in my Mission.

and there a few nice Plants:laugh: is that for Beer or what?

like Eddy Grand says" Gimmi Dope Jo´anna"

 

Thanks to all of you for the Help!!!

I hope that this Thread will be a help for other
