Liveries list missing after updated 2.5.6

 

 

The liveries list is a little buggy but I have a workaround for FW-190A8: load first the edm of FW-190D9 and the A8 entry will appear

This isn't working for me, I assume it has to do with the new forum. Any chance of a new link?

We are using version 198146 with 2022. The one available in ftp is probably buggy, since Evgeny told me that the compiler stopped months ago and he is focused in another task. The 198146 is also one

So, since the included ModelViewer2 is a bust for me right now I thought I'd try the edModelViewer instead.

 

 

 

What folder do you guys put the stand-alone model viewer into these days? I don't do the "Saved Games" folder trick, as it's never worked for me.

 

For the standalone version...

 

I install on a different drive which is my work/non game/non windows drive..

 

Anywhere but DCS

 

DO NOT INSTALL IN THE GAME DIRECTORY..!!!

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Who also wants to see the user models with their liveries in the MV (OpenBeta) can replace my eautoexec.lua in the folder C: \ Program Files \ Eagle Dynamics \ DCS World OpenBeta \ Config \ ModelViewer. save the old file and write it back before each ED update. In eautoexec.lua please replace all entries "XXXX" with your username.

 

This still doesn't work, i changed all patch my name but no lucky d->e xxx-myname

Please compare the given path in autoexec.lua where I entered the "XXXX" with your main path under C: /. But you want to see the FW-190D. I had not considered the planes in the "WWII Units" folder. The path for each aircraft must be entered here. Enter the following lines for the FW-190D:

 

mount_vfs_models_path ("C: / Program Files / Eagle Dynamics / DCS World OpenBeta / CoreMods / WWII Units / FW-190D-9 / Shapes")

mount_vfs_liveries_path ("C: / Program Files / Eagle Dynamics / DCS World OpenBeta / CoreMods / WWII Units / FW-190D-9 / Liveries")

mount_vfs_textures_path ("C: / Program Files / Eagle Dynamics / DCS World OpenBeta / CoreMods / WWII Units / FW-190D-9 / Textures")

The Liveries folder must be in the "FW-190D-9" folder. Please also note the DisplayName "Fw 190 D-9". This is loaded for the liveries in the simulator. So you would have to create two folders.

 

scan_for_textures("E:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\Liveries")

scan_for_textures("E:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\Textures")

scan_for_textures("E:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\aircraft")

 

print("scan done")

print("----------------------------------------------------------------")

 

 

mount_vfs_liveries_path ("E:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar")

mount_vfs_liveries_path ("E:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\aircraft")

mount_vfs_textures_path ("E:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\WWII Units")

mount_vfs_models_path ("E:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\World\Shapes")

mount_vfs_liveries_path ("E:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\Liveries")

mount_vfs_textures_path ("E:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\Textures")

 

 

hmm why not working

Need Help

 

So I am facing 2 problems.

 

  1. 1 Weapon Attach Point not showing up in Model Viewer
  2. 2 Boundry is not at the center

 

1. I have set the Weapon Attach point in 3ds max as a dummy box with user defined property as TYPE = "connector";

but when I open the model in edmodelviewer it doesn't show up.

2. I have set boundary box as a dummy with user defined property as TYPE = "Bounding_Box";

it shows up at ed model viewer but it is not at the center of the object.

Use Point, not Dummy, for connectors. You also didn't include the spaces under properties like you just did in your post.

 

TYPE = "connector";

 

2. I have set boundary box as a dummy with user defined property as TYPE = "Bounding_Box";

Same here.

 

TYPE = "bounding_box";

load f15c -> loaded f15e = bug

 

 

EDM is total borken 2.5.6

 

ok, i try to help to you (i hope you are going 2 make some new F-15C/E liveries) :D

 

so, which modelviewer do you use ? the one in the ingame/bin (openbeta) folder ? or a standalone what can be downloaded from here ?

 

ftp://srv0files.eagle.ru/mods/model_viewer2/

ftp://srv2files.eagle.ru/mods/model_viewer2/

 

anyway, you should check the appropriate edModelViewer2.openbeta folder in your SavedGames folder and in your used DCSW/Config/ModelViewer/autoexec.lua files

it can be also a modified Mods.lua or Scan.lua files in your Database (or in SavedGames) fodler which cause not loading liveries

 

i suggest to download a standalone modelviewer2 and try that clean one.

if you install a new MV2 it will create new folders with new loading "ways" for liveries

do not download the latest ones because you will not have thenfiles associated with it.

 

Rule of thumb is to go back 1 to 2 weeks.

 

They are compiled daily and the versions in the last few dys are newer than the current open beta revisions.

Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2),

ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9)

Hi SkateZilla,

 

I'd love to but the ftp site only goes back to 1st March and every installer is missing rendererUtils.dll. I looked in the open beta install (patched on the 4th) for rendererUtils but the file is not there.

How are we suppose to get the files? Does that mean that the EDM exporter is no longer for use unless you have a third party contract with ED?
