Thanks, I ran the update per your screenshot (it updated 37 files).

 

But it still gives me the second error message "Unhandled exception" when I try to install it.

Access to the path 'G:\Program Files\OvGME\DCE_Missionscript_mod' is denied.

 

it was trying to access (or create) this folder.

Is your OvGME installed and configured correctly?
You haven't set the right too high to access it? (administrator for example)

I'm pretty sure OvGME is installed correctly, I use it with other mods. Regarding folder permissions, I didn't change anything there.

I uninstalled the application, then ran the setup again and now DCE Manager opened and it doesn't have the Install button available anymore. Does that mean that it works? I still don't see the file DCE_Missionscript_mod in the OvGME folder.

you can install the campaign several times on itself, but to see the "install" button, you need to reselect the campaign installation file.

I maintain, however, that the error is that DCE_Manager cannot write to the G:\Program Files\OvGME folder for a legal reason I think (root of the forbidden G?).

Maybe you can do it manually

Yes, I can try manually (if that's the only file that needs to be in the OvGME folder. Where can I find the "DCE_Missionscript_mod" file?

in the campaign zip file.

Originally, DCE_Manager was simply a tool that dezipped the campaign file to add files in the right places.

If that doesn't work, you can still do it manually.

Hello, I'm looking for an Apache Campaign, I've already played Campaign Crisis in Persian Gulf Apache GC 22: (NG)!

 

Is there another one?

we played on our side in MP on the campaign "Cyprus Incident-GC22".

As well as WOC "War Over Caucasus", but this one needs to be "pruned" and updated before release (replace the AH-64A by the AH-64D_BLK_II), and it's also more MP oriented, but well, in SP it should be fun too.

Note that future campaigns will be released on one or 2 versions, so it's up to you to choose which aircraft you want to play it on using DCE_Manager.

I like the "Over Caucasus" Series of DCE , but the S-300s simply destroy any flights in their engagement zone . I tried to enter the targetlist.init and find the S300s to reduce their skill or replace with a less lethal option. I know real player squadrons like the S-300 for the danger, but DCS AI simply gets obliterated each time a mission goes over the mountains. 

Any advice or guide how to properly remove those units or change?  I like the TF-80s series of Hornet/Tomcat/Harrier because of that.

edit" I have tried to edit targetlist.  but I ended up just breaking the file

Well you will have to find the SA-10 SAM group you want to replace in the targetlist file and on the base_mission map. Then you rename the SA-10 group with SA-2 for example. Delate the SA-10 group on the map in base_mission file and put a SA-2 group instead... the most important thing is that the name in targetlist is exactly the same as on the map in base_mission file so for example this group :

["204 SA-10 Site B-1"] = {
            task = "Strike",
            priority = 12,
            attributes = {"SAM"},
            firepower = {
                min = 2,
                max = 8,
            },
            class = "vehicle",
            name = "204 SA-10 Site B-1",
        },

Will be changed like this in the targetlist :

["204 SA-2 Site B-1"] = {
            task = "Strike",
            priority = 12,
            attributes = {"SAM"},
            firepower = {
                min = 2,
                max = 8,
            },
            class = "vehicle",
            name = "204 SA-2 Site B-1",
        },

You can do this for all kind of SAMs...

[ameriveaux]

Thanks PB0! I tried altering the targetlist file but not the base_map one, so all I did was break stuff. I will try again now!

Hi is it possible to have a Kneeboard generated with a list of Targets? Just so we can see what to is part of the objective. Like it is done in Liberation. Cheers!

Hello,
there's already a list of targets in the briefing.

But I don't know how it's presented in "liberation".

I think those 2 are quite helpful to quickly look up during a mission. Idk if it would be hard to implement or not. Cheers.

it's true that it's very clean ^^

But the DCE info is already there, except for the GPS positions.

[Pande4360]

Well yeah the difference would be mainly that it´s much faster to look up during a mission also in multiplayer to have it on the kneeboard.

Ah ok,
We use Scratchpad and copy/paste the info from the briefing we're interested in.

It does the same job, but it's true that you have to copy the txt first ^^.
