DCS World 2.5.x Caucasus Terrain Textures

[Blooddawn1942]

I was wondering if there are any OvGME Versions beyond 1.08 available and where I could look for them if not in this Thread?

If you've got JSGME/OvGME-compatible 1.08 on your PC, just look what its folder structure is and replicate it with 1.15 by re-packing new files into the old archives.

 

Mustang changes the files, but he doesn't change the folder tree, so it all works as it always had.

This worked! Thank You for the hint!:thumbup::thumbup:

Subscribed, Awsum!

It seems something has changed in the 2.5.3 Openbeta update today, the mod no longer functions (DCS is ignoring the texture folders the mod uses)

 

I'm looking at ways to make this work again, standby.

Terrible news......

 

Maybe a workaround is moving the files inside the original .rar?

I just put it back in to haha GG good luck on the work around :thumbup:

Yeah this solves it but creates the headache of having a much larger package download size and subsequent update size if the updater wants to replace the zips with clean ones...

In the past, modded textures in folders had the problem that sometimes they mixed up between the seasons which caused snowy trees on green fields or something like that. To fix this I always put them into the original archives.

 

And to avoid the bigger update size, you could use JSGME do you?

You think JSGME could merge downloaded files into zip containers?

 

Don't think so.

 

(In the olden days 1.5.x Mustang mods I think to remember were the whole containers, but the more popular this gets the more MB download his file server gets to move over the internet, is prob the problem)

 

BUT a solution for a while would be just instructions to merge the mod files

Updated first post with v1.16 which now works with DCS World 2.5.3, for now I have done a direct injection of textures straight into the zip files which unfortunately makes the package somewhat larger, but at least it's working :)

[Esac_mirmidon]

Thanks for you kind, continuos and patience work Mustang.

[Magic Zach]

I had wondered why the mod used unzipped folders. I went into the Caucasus textures once, and found duplicates. Thanks for the update

[jef32]

Speed and efficiency. It's all Mustang !

 

 

Thanks again !

 

 

Is this new mod working with the 2.5.2 release or must we keep the previous until the update to 2.5.3 ?

Yes you can use this with 2.5.2 just make sure to fully remove the previous version first

[jef32]

Thanks for your quick answer.

 

 

No problems, I've installed it with JSGME, so I can remove it with just one click

 

 

Congratulations again to enhancing our DCS world with your mod and making pleasure to our eyes.

While the textures work in the 104th server, when I leave I am getting a red IC shield with it complaining about the caucuses terrain files. I dont get kicked from the server. Only getting the IC error after leaving.

Rgr well must be something ED has changed, I guess as long as the mod works in the server whilst you're flying that's all that matters.

Thanks Mustang :thumbup:

Indeed it does. Just kind of a hassle having to restart if you leave a server for any reason.

Many Thanks!

Looks like the latest hotfix solves the issue of the modified terrain textures getting blasted by IC even when the setting for pure textures was off.

[Stonehouse]

Has it also fixed the issue making it necessary to use the full zip file method over using the folder of the correct name to make the mod work?

[REDEYE_CVW-66]

The last version is brilliant Mustang. Thanks for all the hard work!
