JSGME

How long does it normally take to generate a snapshot of game files?

 

 

Mine has been running for half an hour and not moved passed two thirds.

It takes longer than a repair does, which is the context you need :)

got ya, I'll leave it go for a while

I understand that JSGME is a 32 bit App that doesnt handle well files larger than 2 GB (like some of the Maps files are).

 

 

May I suggest OvGME as a more modern alternative tough, like JSGME, it is unsupported by its developer anymore.

Thanks Rudel, sent you a PM but my sent folder says 0 messages.

 

 

was asking if I took a snapshot of a clean install do I need to do it every time I load OVGME or is it saved and I just do it the once?

 

 

Also when I load OVGME and apply mods do I then need to leave OVGME running in the background while I play or can I close it and still play my DCS with mods applied.

 

 

kind regards

funny I use jsgme and snapshots are really quick in the seconds, used it forever with no probs, I think its easier than ovgme but whatever your used to is best, but usually itl only do it when you add a mod, and thatl only be to compare it to the original, so should be if like js very quick, I don't know as I don't use it, but itl only snapshot against new files, not your whole system again

Hi, got the message and I've just answered :)

The purpose of snapshots is to be able to detect which files of a game have been changed by your applied Mods. Actually I never use this function, as in DCS it isnt really needed.

 

Also when I load OVGME and apply mods do I then need to leave OVGME running in the background while I play or can I close it and still play my DCS with mods applied.

 

 

Any Mod is simply a set of files that have to be put on a game´s program folder in order to achieve a certain feature or behavior. Sometimes these files replace the original game's, other times they are new additional files. Thus, aplying the Mod is a one time affair.

 

 

The Mods managers are simply a means to automate the Applying / De-applying Mods, they dont need to run along with the game ... in essence they are just file-copiers :)
