MODMAN 7.3

[Gary]

I have searched this site (and others) for the answer for several hours and decided to come back to the community for help.

 

In an effort to get the english betty and general english voice comms back in ver 1.02 of BS (I do appreciate in 1.02 it was set to side dependant but want english for everything please) I did some trawling of the forums.

 

Despite changing the localizer.cfg file as suggested it made no difference!

 

Not to be easily put off I trawled further and decided Modman might offer the solution.

 

Having installed Modman 7.3 and downloaded mod sound files to try it simply doesnt work as I want.

 

Firstly I read that edits to the config.ini file were needed, which I dont understand because the changes suggested are in place already by defaul with the install.

 

More of an issue is that clicking on run in Modman results in the launcher.exe being run without admin rights (despite this being set in advance on icon) with all the resulting error messages. Funny thing is, the mod actually works when the game runs (despite the error messages) with the sounds I want!

 

To get to the point.

 

I have subsequently read that neither BS or Modman should be installed under c:/progrmme files!

 

Although Modman is not the default install location for BS is and thats where I have it installed.

 

I have no wish to reinstall frankly and im looking for a workaround if it does exist please?

 

Any help greatfully recieved as ever

 

Kind Regards,

 

Gary

Hi Gary,

why don't you want to re-install? You know it doesn't cost you an activation to re-install ?

Thank you for the reply.

 

I am aware I can reinstall without activation but really would prefer a workaround if one exists. Gets to the point where I spend more time installing and tweaking than I do flying (just got new hotas and DCS A10) so spent ages messing with my system already.

 

If no workaround exists then I have a choice I guess - carry on with forgein languages or reinstall - or wait for Modman 7.4 in the hope its fixed

 

Kind Regards,

 

Gary

AFAIK there isn't an easier way around than a re-install, you can try running modman as Admin, right click run -> as administrator and that might do it, but no promises that it will work. Win7 and Vista protect the program files and program files 86 directory...

Stuart,

 

Cheers - you replies are much appreciated.

 

I will probably submit later to the reinstall route!
