Is it possible to have two (or more) installs of LOFC?

[Kuky]

and if... how? I would like ot have one normal install for playing and 1 more testing mod(s).

Yes, you can have many installs FC... It is simple.

 

-Copy the folder of your FC install directory

-paste in the same folder root as oryginal (example if your Oryginal version is in D:\games\LOFC, so copied version must be still in D:\games folder not, example in c:\program files\)

-Oryginal Version rename to example LOFC_oryginal

-Copied version rename to LOFC (if oryginal had LOFC name)

-apply mods whatever you want

-if something wrong or wanna play "clean" FC, only rename folders back

Boberro, thanks for the reply but that is not actually what I was asking for. What you desribe in same as creating a backup of lockon files. This way you can play only 1 verson of the game, which ever has the original lockon root folder name. I am asking to be able to have 2 versions on lockon to run independently without having to copy/paste then rename folders back and forth. I doubt this is possibe but who knows maybe someone can or already has figured this out?

Im curious, why would you want more than 1 LOMAC installs? :huh:

I have also tried to figure that out, but for the moment I go with a variant of what Boberro suggest. One folder with a back up of a clean version, and one with the all the mods that have been tested and working and of course the one I play from, which I have screwed up sometimes when testing stuff :)

I have Multiple Installations - all you do is Mod with Modman your original install with whatever Mods you want, copy the LockOn Folder and re-name it LockOn ADA Mod, for example, or rename it to whatever Mod that you are testing and installed via Modman.

 

Then re-name the .exe file in your LockOn ADA Mod Folder to LockOn ADA.exe and send that to Desktop.

 

Uninstall the Mods via Modman from the original LockOn and you'll now have two independant LockOn Installs with 2 Independant Desktop shortcuts/.exe's

 

At start choose whichever and that'll be you. This way I have seperate installs for the T-Frog, A10 and Jets with seperate Mods and each attendant seperately named .exe file on the desktop so I do not have to change Pitch and Roll/Key Input settings when I fancy flying a different Airframe.
