Warhead mod

[Stratos]

So, what I need to install? Also is possible to make MG pods more effective against infantry?

The mod is now broken, because of the new update.

I'll give it a look.

 

EDIT: See the attached file for a working JSGME ready package.

I created a new way to apply the mod and keep it up to date, check the first post for instructions.

So, now, you have to put the file with JMGE and apart form that the patch updater???

 

I mean, if I have to get into the DCS folder, to take something out everytime I want to fly with an integrity check multiplayer mission it will be quite boring. But if it works like always is a really good advance!

[Erpe]

Good point about unapplying, for multiplayer.

 

The thinking behind is that, files like this or another mod I'm working on in the editor, are highly likely to change more often, and with mostly weekly update it's a tedious work to always check what changed and if they added something.

 

This approach uses the good old patch utility and hopefully only touch portions of a file and so minimize the chance that it will break DCS.

 

I might still provide the JMGE compatible zip somewhere and add a way to revert all current patches.

Did you include rockets already, long time I don't use it.

[Erpe]

No this is just the bombs upgrade, but I will merge it with the next update

[dresoccer4]

does this work with the latest update?

[Erpe]

I incorporated the rockets improvements mod into this one and also added a revert batch file to the updater.

 

Additionally I added a JSGME version of the mod.

 

Downloads on first page, if you already got the updater and don't need the revert batch file just run the update_warheads_mod.bat.

[ESAc_matador]

Greeeeatt!

[uscstaylor]

Thanks for that..

[Stratos]

I followed instructions, got a fast self closing MSDOS window. How can I know this mod is properly installed? Also, which rockets are improved? Both soviet and american?

[Erpe]

actually the "msdos" windows should stay open and the last line should say:

"warheads mod applied"

 

did you run the script as administrator?

[Stratos]

Got it working now. I read I had to unzip on general folder when in reality you need to unzip inside the game folder.

updated

Is the version updated on December 3 meant to work with DCS 1.5.5? Every time I load this mod, it crashes the game. Am I doing something wrong or do we need to wait for Erpe to update the mod?

 

Thanks

[Erpe]

I just saw I still had the old mod version attached, maybe you used that.

 

Download this one:

updated for 1.5.6, there was a warhead added

[Cik]

hey man, big fan of the mod. are you sure you haven't made a mistake though and uploaded a default warheads.lua? the values for all of the bombs i checked are default values, including gbu10/12 and hydra 70 (all versions)

 

or maybe i'm an idiot. can you check please though? thx

[Erpe]

damn, you are right.

I'm currently away from home and can't access my dcs machine.

If you have the version before I could fix it, if you upload the file somewhere, otherwise you guys would need to wait until Thursday.

 

Cheers

typo

[Erpe]

uploaded a fixed version.

It wasn't completely the original version, I made a mistake while merging some values and the A-A warhead got mixed up with the A-G warhead

Mod crashes the game in 1.5 beta

 

DCS: Error running Scripts/Database/db_scan.lua: [string "./Scripts/Database/Weapons/cluster_data.lua"]:49: attempt to index field 'warhead' (a nil value)

[nekhron]

trying to fix this mod

 

so I was a bit sad I couldnt use the mod as it crash in 1.5.x.

 

I usually roam the forum but I never post. So I decided to create myself an account so I can contribute

 

so I took a look at it and its a tweak of the .lua.

 

so i merged with he new version to make it work again.

 

if you want to give it a go this is my current version I used with the latest version :
