firesoldier845 Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 I've been playing since release and since I mostly played online I didn't bother with the add-ons and stuff but lately I seen a lot of nice skins and addon files so I starteded messing with MODMAN and I made a complete mess of my lock on installation and had to reinstall. I know it seems idiot proof but honestly I downloaded a few skins and installed them and the next thing I know modman is crashing and my LockOn is all screwed up. Everything is fine after a complete re-install but what is the correct way to install these add-ons and skins without nerfing my LockOn? Is 5.0 the latest version of MODMAN I should be using to install skins?? What's this install in CDDS file thing? Is that what I am doing wrong? thanks for any help.

Is 5.0 the latest version of MODMAN I should be using to install skins?? What's this install in CDDS file thing? Is that what I am doing wrong? thanks for any help. the only thing i would be any help on this is what i do. I always have a backup folder for Lock On. Right click LockOn main folder, click copy and then click paste. Rename to Origina_LockOn. This way if you nerf anything up you can go back to the original. This is what i have done and have had no problems. Of course if you don't have the HD space to do so then its up to you. I do believe Modman 5 is the latest. As for the CDDS, you should be able to refer to this thread to answer some of your questions about it. http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=16860&highlight=CDDS+modman I think this thread is practicaly the same problem you were having in a way. Some people with low end computers have problems with the CDDS. Sometimes it puts skins and what not into the TempTextures folder which can often cause problems with FPS. Other then that some one please correct me if anything i said was out of line. :thumbup: S!
