Time is relative and in the software business there is a thing called "Valve time" which to this day has not been described accurately or reliably by any theory. It sometimes physically interferes with the development process of entertainment software. For example, the "Valve month" refers to a time interval from 2 to 6 months in real time.

I recently bought the new MSI GTX 660 TI PE just for the release of FC3, anyone here knows if will be possible to play FC3 (or better saying, DCS World since FC3 was not released yet) in high settings with my new VGA + Core i5 2500k @4.3ghz + 8GB DDR 3. I´m realy looking forward for this "new" DCS game.:joystick:

 

 

Thank you guys!

Somebody has to rewrite Modman...............:D

Ain't that the truth!

 

I would have thought that it would be easy enough to convert to World but it's obviously not.

 

Actually, it is easy.

 

Only (2) files need to be edited (before doing this backup the originals just in case there's an error).

 

Take a closer look at Modman.ini and Registry.ini in the main directory. Open the modman.ini file (in Notepad++), copy one of the existing entries, add it to the end, make the necessary directory edits, and renumber the game# to correspond to the next sequential number.

 

Open registry.ini, copy the Path, CIDcount and Date lines of one of the existing entries, paste it to the end and make the corresponding directory changes. No need to be specific about the date and time of the Date line (I don't think it really matters).

 

Once ModMan is started, select your new entry from the "select game management" window. Modman will ask you to show the way to the root directory of DCS World (or whatever game you're trying to manage) for the new entries as if it was a new normal game installation. There you go!

 

In addition, you can edit the Cat_(yournewgame).txt to expand catalogue entries, or you can also modify the (yournewgame).jpg image in the Modman\required\ directory for your fancy new gui image if you'd like (not necessary though).

 

**Disclaimer: I got tired of waiting for an update, so I tinkered with this myself and found it to work flawlessly. However, without the author's permission, I can not release my edited version to the public, i.e. do this at your own risk and for personal use only.** :music_whistling:

Thats nice, but the paths to aircraft skins and other texture files is changed, is'nt it?

Sure, paths changed. That doesn't mean Modman doesn't function. You'll need to edit your skin paths accordingly. You can do it by selecting the Edit pack button and changing it, or by selecting the Mods maker button at the GUI screen and putting your modded files together from scratch. As it is, you still have to follow the readme file accompanying the Mod and put the files where they need to go. Even if ModMan is updated by the author, you're still going to have to do this for many of the old wonderful Mods from the past.

 

The question is, do you want to overwrite the original game and/or keep adding directories and files that weren't in the original install everytime you add something, in which case you try to keep track of what you changed everytime World gets updated? Or, do you want to uninstall all and restore everything back to original with one button click? I currently have (57) mods installed into DCS World that can be added or subtracted at will.

 

My personal preference is to do the work upfront and not have to worry about it.:thumbup:

And then we get to repeat all these pages........

Wait one day, then close the thread. It's an announcement, not a round-table discussion, anyway. :P
