#1: Config and Plugin Files for GWTC Author: TheImperatorKnight,

I've finished the maps for my GWTC "Small Maps Mod" but atm I have to manually replace the files to make the mod work, and keep backups to revert back to the normal maps.

Is there, or can someone create or show me how to create, a config file and plugin files like we have for the other CC games? I've no idea where to begin with this sort of thing so any and all help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

P.S. small maps are awesome Very Happy

Hey TIK. Easy solution would be to use JSGME (JoneSoftGenericModEnabler), which was originally made for Silent Hunter III, but it works for anything if it's files that need to be replaced.

You can download it here:
http://www.gamefront.com/files/21681483/JSGME.7z

Extract the contents of the JSGME folder to your CC Caen folder and make a new folder inside the MODS folder and name it whatever you want to call your mod. Then just copy your modded MAPS folder inside that newly created folder.
So it should look like this MODS/TIK's Small Maps Mod/MAPS/[modified files here]

Fire up JSGME and you should see your mod listed on the left. Oh and JSGME backs up any files it needs to overwrite so it's completely safe, it's been used for years in multiple games.

You can generate a new plugin with bren novak tool for create plugins for WAR,TLD and LSA.
After while install the plugin you must redirect the installation to gateway to caen files

Simply TIK..no difficult!

But would I need a config manager too?

Dowly's suggestion worked wonders btw Smile

Ok this is a little more complicated than with JSGME. There's no option for PITF or GWTC so each player would have to redirect their copy to the correct folder on their own, since there's two versions of GWTC (Steam and non-steam).

I'm thinking JSGME is easier, as I can bundle it with the mod already prepared and all a player needs to do is unzip all the files into the main GWTC folder and you're done.

With JSGME you also get the added bonus of being able to install/uninstall other mods with it too. Cool

That's what I'm thinking too, and it's really simple to use, plus I can ship it ready to go. For those reasons I'm going to stick with JSGME.

Just waiting on Mooxe now, then the mod can be hosted here. I'll host it on my site too (www.closecombatfanatics.com) once it's back up. It's down atm due to an error.
