How to proper use custom/3rd party mods..

[Trooper117]

can you not just install JSGME and work it that way?

[adonys]

yes, you can, but only for beta patches.

all the folder structure is needed if you want to use kegetys dll's mods.

Thanks for the info adonys. Are Jafa's sounds avaliable?

Thanks for this Adonys, I wouldn't be the brightest lamp in the packet when it comes to file structure and it took me a while to figure it all out. But now that I have it works just as you have described. This will make adding/deleting extra mods so much easier. The item that had me confused was No.3 but then I remembered it goes into the "Steam" launcher/ game/ properties/ set launcher options.

Cheers

I'm also battling to follow this one!

I can't open "launcher.exe" and I don't think that it's referring to "Launcher.exe.config" (which has had Kegetys' lines added).

How does on create the new icon that is linked to the revised "launcher.exe"?

Clearly, I'm missing something pretty basic!

Please help.

Actually, the shortcuts Steam is making by default (at a game's install) on the desktop for your games are not normal shortcuts (shortcuts to that game's executable file), but Steam shortcuts (lunching Steam with an app number, which in turn launches app's exe file).

so, you can do it in two ways:
1) go in "../steam/steamapps/common/il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" and you have your Launcher.exe file in there. Right click on it, and chose Sent to Desktop (create shortcut) and voila, you have your shortcut in there. Then follow step 3)'s info to add parameters to this newly created shortcut.
2) open Steam, go to your installed game's list, select Il2CoD and right click on it and select Properties. In the General tab, you have a "Set launch Options.." button. It's used exactly to have Steam transmit wished launch parameters to the app's exec file. Add kegety's parameters from step 3) in here
