Mods Not working?


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I recently installed the Sweet fx mod and the More visibility mod. But I cant find any reference to them in the options screen? My Visib tab just has LOW MED and HIGH. I thought it went to Extreme with the mod? There is also no reference anywhere to the Sweet fx settings.

I can almost hear people sighing at my incompetence but please be kind. I am using the JSGME installer and im pretty sure its setup correctly. When I unzip the file, I highlight the ... file and the one saying the Mod name below it and extract them to the _MOD file I put in my in my DCS world folder.

Should I be opening these files and extracting their contents to the _MOD file?

SweetFx won't have any in-game option. Settings is done through the SweetFx config file that you will have to tweak manually. At least that is how I do it.

 

 

Make sure the M_V mod is placed in a folder of its own under _MODS and that it contains two subfolders: Config and MissionEditor.

The way I thought it was supposed to go was unpacking the zipped file into a file in my _MODS folder eg:

c;\Program files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld\_MODS\More visibility\MoreVisibility V1.4\ and in that one the config and mission editor?

^ What KeyGirl says.

 

That also applies to any JSGME-compatible mods. The correct folder path is always \_MODS\some- mod-name\bunch-of-folders&files-with-names-exactly-like-in-main-DCS-folder\.

 

If You remember that, You can actually make almost any mod JSGME-compatible, just by building a correct folder structure for it.
