LiveNoMore Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Can anyone recommend a good Mod Manager for both CMBN and CMFI? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StkNRdr Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Good question. The mods structure in CM is pretty basic though. I have used JSGME on many games and don't see why it wouldn't work with CM. Keeps a person out of the folders. http://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/Miscellaneous/Generic-Mod-Enabler.shtml Not sure if this is the latest version. Post back if you use it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eniced73 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 JSGME does work. I have used it and it is decent. Only problem is that you have to install in your BF folder. Eats up HD space. Use Zbee mod manager. It is easier to use and will your mods from anywhere. I have mine stored on a separate drive off my SSD. Go over to thefewgoodmen forum and look at the tutorial that I put up. I can also help you out if you PM me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 My PC is just a 49 year-old Dad's toy/tool. Check e-mails, check the credit cards, balance the finances/taxes, play CM. No HD usage issues. JSGME seems to work fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eniced73 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 The HD usage of the program is almost nil. It is where you are storing your mods that is the issue. Using JSGME they have to be stored in the same place as the game/JSGME. With Zbee you can have all your mods on a separate HD. Not a big issue to most but if you need to keep your SSD running nice with CMBN it could save you from bogging it down. Zbee also does a lot more than just swap mods like JSGME. You have that nice Bulge Mod - well you can set up Zbee to activate all your Bulge mod files with one click. Instead of going in and deactivating and then reactivation each Bulge file. It allows you to set up mod sets which activate in one click. Easy to use. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveNoMore Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 @StkNRdr I tried downloading JSGME. It came with a bunch of unwanted add-on's so I deleted it. @eniced73 I downloaded ZBee and installed it. If you could send a link to your tutorial I should be able to get it up and running. Thanks all! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 eniced73, Well, I will check out Zbee. Thanks! I've only had JSGME for a few months and it was a giant leap up from what I had been doing previously all manually. I don't really track the HD usage but maybe I should be. I am sure I have all my old outdated versions of mods taking up valuable space. I am not a neat and tidy modder. tsk tsk tsk Only when I started the Bulge mod did I see how I needed something more rapid. Setting up one click pre-sets will be another big leap up. Thanks a bunch. downloading z-Bee 1.4 Mod Manager from the repository. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 ZBee's is great. You'll love it, kk. I used it for CMSF, but didn't realize it works with CMBN. I figured it would need updating, but I guess if it works like JSGME, which I've used before, it really wouldn't need to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 eniced73, you have a tutorial you say. I think I need it! I imagine I will have multiple copies of z-Bee? 1 for each of the games? 1 for CMFI and 1 for CMBN? EDIT: I am trying to set-up my various paths and am getting an error. Error Caught Error from inside set singlevalue 2147467259. Operation must use an updateable query. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eniced73 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 http://www.thefewgoodmen.com/thefgmforum/threads/how-to-use-z-bee-mod-manager.17854/ Here you go. Yes. You will have one install for each of your games. I have 3. One for CMSF, CMBN, and CMFI. Try my steps in setting up your paths. If it still does not work shout me an email. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 It seems to be OK now. At the top of the previous version it had a windows banner type thing which said it was read-only. I guess I was trying to set-up my paths while still read-only. So, I saved it as my own copy and it was all good to go for setting paths. I have not yet gotten fancy with mod pre-sets but I am greatly looking forward to that. lol, I now have some Sicily July 43 US troops running around in white wash helmets! Thanks again eniced73 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
