1.5 With the U-Boat missions add on.

Hmmm, that eliminates the problem I get with 1.5 mods in a 1.4 game, a flood of "missing file black.tga" yada yada yada. Can you post the first few messages in the error?

Yup - 1.5 here - running 1.5 mods generally too with no issues.

I'll post the messages when I get home from work, tonight.

Is it possible that through modding even though I used the JGME I have damaged the install?

If so, is a complete re install the only option?

JSGME isn't perfect.

Only you can answer this......Have you ever removed a mod out of sequence? Meaning to say, you have 4 mods "Activated" through JSGME, yet you decide to remove the Second mod in your list without removing number 4, then number 3, before getting to mod number 2? If so, you've just put JSGME into quite a fix. It does a good job in keeping track of the mods you load.....and the sequence in which you load them. It doesn't do very well when you remove mods out of sequence. Files get left behind in the main game folders causing errors and other trouble.

Call it "Operator Error" on your part!

JSGME isn't perfect, yet it has a way for you to check to see if the main game files are as they should be (JSGME developers knew it wasn't fool proof). That's with using the "Compare Snapshot" feature under JSGME's "Task's...." menu. It will compare the existing stock game files to the files of the game when you first added JSGME.

Didn't take a "Snapshot" of your brand new clean game install folders/file's as the instructions of JSGME states? You've just answered your own question.

That only applies to older versions. The latest version will not allow you to remove a mod that has been overwritten by another. It will be greyed out and will not respond to the cursor.

Singular. One man, Jaesen Jones by name, known here as JScones. Not that he's been around for a couple of lifetimes.

Yes, that's true. The grayed out mods have been overwritten by subsequent added mods.

I'm talking about mods that are removable in JSGME....not grayed out.

Like this:




Do not remove the "RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1" before removing the following two other mods in the list. JSGME keeps track of the changes it makes, and the order in which you make them. Removing mods out of sequence is where you'll get into leaving files behind.

I think this is pretty much what I have done at some point. Although, I did a reinstall after reading this thread and had the DBSM mod blow my install even thuough I installed, then uninstalled it correcly as described. Odd.

So for the massive mod users out there - do you generally just use one install and then install and remove super mods as needed or do you use multiple installs?
