FIVE folders of CMFI

[kohlenklau]

I like to tinker with my mods and have the hard drive space so I copied my CMFI folder from Battlefront and pasted to Battlefront2 through Battlefront5.

They all share the same game files folder for scenarios and such.

But they each have their own custom z folder.

They each have their own custom icon shortcut button on the desktop to open the specific version of CMFI I want to fire up.

Right above that shortcut I have a shortcut to their z folder so I can work on the mods and such.

One version is my test bed where I TRY and make sure the mod folder I will send out is pure and not lacking something that just happens to be elsewhere in z and seems to show on screen aok but for the wrong reason. If you follow me...

I aint so smart so maybe this all is silly and there is an easier way to do all this but I haven't figured it out yet.

Like I said, I have the hard drive space so it seems an easy solution.

I think I could even probably figure out what brz files I could make empty shells and not need the actual contents. That would cut back on the HD space required.

What about using just a single installation of CMFI but five copies of your z folder. You can just 'MOVE' the appropriate z folder in and out of the CMFI installation. You can do that either manually as required or using JSGME.

Or place your mods-in-progress in JSGME and move the individual mod in  and out. Then you don't need five installs of anything.

While you can move mods in and out like @WimO suggests but if you have the HD space multiple installs works fine too. I typically have more then one install of the games but for me it's for managing upgrades in PBEM and testing.

I have used JSGME and thought it was awesome. But I will stick with the multiple installs as it is so easy to just get in a Korea mod mood and hop in for some content work WITHOUT messing with JSGME.
