F16C no main menu after the optionsModsScripts.lua fix from WAGS

[g6r6e6g]

Hi,

 

like other people, I got first the black screen loading bug with this ALERT in DCS.log :

 

2019-10-03 19:08:41.212 ALERT Dispatcher: Error starting Game GUI: [string "./MissionEditor/modules/optionsModsScripts.lua"]:32: attempt to concatenate local 'filepath' (a nil value)

 

 

then I follow the WAGS thread about this bug and installed the fix optionsModsScripts.lua into my Saved Games\DCS\MissionEditor\modules.

 

Dcs is launching and I'm now into the plane warehouse without any menu

I still have a bug into this lua file

ALERT Dispatcher: Error starting Game GUI: [string "./MissionEditor/modules/optionsModsScripts.lua"]:32: attempt to concatenate local 'filepath' (a nil value)

 

here is the end of my DCS.log :

The fix isn't working for me at all. I've run the repair several times to no avail.

[g6r6e6g]

I tried to repair too but DCS stills stop on this lua error.

Did you succed to launch DCS ?

SOLVED

 

I find the solution guys,

I thought we should create the C:\<username>\Saved Games\DCS\MissionEditor\modules folder and copy the Wags fix file optionsModsScripts.lua into this folder

 

BUT instead we have to REPLACE the file optionsModsScripts.lua into <drive>:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\MissionEditor\modules
