Drac Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) I'm trying to use OvGME for this mod. When starting DCS, a window pops-up basically saying "DSMC is not authorizied". Obviously, I am not installing it properly in OvGME. Any thoughts? Thanks...Drac Edited December 11, 2021 by Drac

Thanks...Drac Not a DSMC issue... or an install issues, but with OvGME is almost impossible to made it wrong. Sometimes DCS, when it's offline, caused that. Or when you try to install it in the main directory instead of saved games (where all DCS mods have to be placed). But I need you to check on chapter 5 in the manual and provide the necessary information to give you a more detailed answer. PS: images can't be loaded.

An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.

Drac Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 Here is the photo again. This is the way I start to add the mods. In this case, it may be something as to location.
chromium Posted December 11, 2021 Author Posted December 11, 2021 Check manual. You're adding the mod to the main directory, that shouldn't be done since a couple of years in DCS World. All mods should be placed in Saved Games, but that is explained in details in the manual.

Drac Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 Is it possible for anybody using OvGME for this mod, to post your screenshot. I have not had any problems with any other mods using OvGME. This one appears a little tricky. Screenshot would help a lot. As shown in the screenshot I posted earlier, I typically use "Make zipped Mod-Archive from a Directory-Mod folder". I know the location may be wrong for this mod (as shown)...thus a screenshot if you install this way. Thanks
chromium Posted December 12, 2021 Author Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) I use OvGME. It's tricky to you cause you're using a wrong OvGME config setup. As said, exept some specific mods, all mods should point to your Saved Games DCS directory and NOT to the main folder. That is also explained here: That said, this is my OvGME main menù image: Accordingly to the manual, page 9, where installation with a mod manager is described as: "Using OvGME, the .zip archive is already “ready-to-use”: you only have to move it in your mods folder that aim to the Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\ folder". If you're using mods that needs to be pointed to the main DCS folder, you can create 2 OvGME configs, one for proper mods folder (Saved Games) and one for the others mod that require main directory.

Drac Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 Getting closer...In the mission, DSMC now shows up. I do have another question. I brought up a mission in multiplayer and loaded by aircraft with the appropriate weapons. I then selected DSMC save and exited the mission. Closed out of DCS and brought it up again. Went back to multiplayer and selected the saved mission. Once the mission was loaded and on the deck, my weapons selection was not there. Am I missing something. Drac
chromium Posted December 12, 2021 Author Posted December 12, 2021 Yes, you missed to read the manual.

Drac Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 Roger. So, when flying a mission and we destroy some targets and land and save, we then can come back in later and the destroyed targets are still destroyed. Also, the original mission, it is not raining. But when I come back in with the saved mission, it is raining. Is there anyway to keep the weather conditions the same?

Drac Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 I host user made missions (from the DCS download folder) with two of my friends. I have attached a screenshot of the DSMC options screen. Any recommendations on what I should enable or disable.

I have attached a screenshot of the DSMC options screen. Any recommendations on what I should enable or disable. I get you're not using mission you've created, and this will limit a lot DSMC usage: The mod is done for mission designers who want to add persistence from a mission to another or, in a different way, for 24/7 server host. Since you use already built missions you can use DSMC as you prefer, but you're likely to run into problems cause almost all the custom mission out there are not designed for persistency... but more likely for re-playability, with random spawning actions. About DSMC, The only reasonable suggestion I could tell you is to disable CTLD and CSAR inbuilt scripts, cause normally already built mission does have their own version if needed or, else, it means that the mission is not designed to work with CTLD or CSAR. Also, Automatically created slot might not fit your needs: I suggest to remove these options. Else, if you're looking for something to fly with your friends without editing missions and with some persistence-like situations you might want to check this: https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/wiki/ I don't know anything in particoular about Liberation Campaign, but it might fit that kind of needs Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Openbeta: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC The thing is, helicopters are different from planes.

Drac Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Bummer on the DSMC usage on other user created missions. I will disable recommended options. Your assistance has been very helpful. Update: I was not able to disable CSAR. Edited December 12, 2021 by Drac

Well to be honest there are continuos releases, last one 21/07/2022, you just need to be on the discord channel or use the mod site for the stable release. I don't have the required spare-time to update every channel sadly :(. Go to the site (https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/) and get into the discord using the link in the menù. About your issue, if you're using any version later than 3 months (and since your post I would bet that you're using an older version), due to this bug: Current version of DSMC, in particoular the openbeta available on github (check developing-version channel on discord), already fixed that.

c17loadjp Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 Thanks for getting back so soon, I have just downloaded the open beta version within the week. I will try the dicord, sadly im not up to speed with dicord but i'll give a go. Thanks again.
Paladin1cd Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 I've tried installing with ovgme (I am not familiar with it) and when I try to install I am getting an unauthorized error and the app isn't showing an icon in DCS. Help would be appreciated as I am not able to figure out what I did wrong.

Paladin1cd Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 Hey sir I did that but it may have been missed. Not sure how to install under admin rights, so I tried launching OVGME with admin rights, installing, and then launching DCS with admin rights and then setting both those folders to writable as the instructions showed. Same result. I'm missing something simple I'm sure.
