JSGME question

TDK1044 · 07-29-08, 06:10 AM

With the latest versions of JSGME, is it still necessary to remove mods from the bottom up (like the earler versions) or can mods now be removed in any order?

I touched on this in another Forum, but I'm curious if the old protocol of from the bottom up is still valid, or no longer relevant because of the way that the newer versions of JSGME work.

my new version of jsgme grays out any mods that are affected by new ones on top

so my guess would be that it's safe to move those mods which are not greyed out around, but if mess it up you'll end up with PE3.3 files in your TMO folder etc

safe bet is to always remove em in the reverse order of installing em, so yes bottom up

Bottoms up

Seriously: You can remove them in any order you want, since JSGME doesn't allow you to do that in the wrong order anymore. The mods that have files overwritten by later mods are greyed out and can't removed without removing the overwriting mod first.

Hmmm. My version is 2.1.0, but it's not the latest version. Looks like I'd better DL the latest version of the mod enabler.

Hmm... was just on his website and it looks like 2.1.0 (dated 10MAY08) is the latest...

I could be mistaken, so someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe JSGME changes any of the files in the mods folders, so, no matter what order you do things in, JSGME isn't going to put any files from one mod into another mods folder. And, yes, the current version (and some previous versions, since 1.1.4, I believe) won't let you uninstall in the wrong order. I believe the greyed out effect was added just to let you know that a mod has had files over-written. All of the changes are in the JoneSoft.txt file that is installed with JSGME.
