JanHas N_GSE Mod: Stuck at the DB Extraction
-
I’m trying to install JanHas’ N_GSE mod. I believe I’ve followed the instructions correctly.
- I’ve backed up all of the files (minus the folders) from Objects, and Sim folder.
- Created a folder, z_JanHas-objects-installed in the TerrData folder.
- Into z_JanHas-objects-installed, per the instructions
- Here’s where I get stuck:
When Extract_DB.bat is done running, I see only two folders, LODs and Parents, not three per the instructions.
Also, in the Parents folder are the numbered sub-folders, but there is no DAT file.
Here’s what I have so far:
-
INSTALL MANUAL
Before you can add the new models you need to copy the 8266.bmp file from my install manual package and put it in the empty “Textures” folder. Check the theater folder “KoreaOBJ” for the highest dds number and tweak the bmp if needed when there is a dds with a higher number. 8266 is the highest number in the current BMS 4.36 KoreaOBJ folder.creates a “Textures” folder by yourself and put dds file inside.
now,you have three folders. -
General installation question: do I need to run Extract_DB.bat prior to installing each mod package? In other words, after I’ve installed the GSE mod for example, do I need to again run Extract_DB.bat, install Pylons_pods_and_fuel_tanks, run Extract_DB.bat, install LV6_F-16CM-40, etc.?

No. Once its extracted, its extracted. You need to run build.bat after you copy and paste models in parent folder. You can do batches as in put models for several packages at once then build one time.

Thanks again!!

Alright, this is the third time I’ve tried installing Air Launched Weapons, and LV6_F-16CM-40_v36.3, and every time I get these: each attempt I’ve made sure to copy/paste all of the skins from the packs to KoreaObj; delete the DDS files from KoreaObj_HiRes that match those in each mod pack; copy/paste the various .dat files, etc.
HTS pod
CBU-52 and Maverick A
JSOW-A
AIM-9X
And when I get into the pit:
In the pit, in flight:
-
about weapons skin
go to configuration cancel “High resolution texture” itemabout cockpit pit
go to LV6_F-16CM-40\ladder\ ,and copy F-16CM-40 folder to Falcon BMS 4.36\Data\Art\CkptArt -
New numbers for textures (so that there is no overlap) can be set using the “Texture Set Editor” program.

I’m going to re-install the original files and start over this weekend. I’ll install the packs one at a time to try and determine when things break.
Thanks, all!

Just installed the following without issue: Ground Support Equipment, Pylons, Pods and Fuel Tanks.
After installing LV6 F-16CM-40 v36.3 I was able to trace the cockpit issue to this line in the 3dckpit.dat file (in the Ladder folder):
Line 68
// the LOD models to use. . . . . cockpitmodel3 3789;
Commenting it out got rid of the extra canopy, but I’m still not able to see the ladder.
I did un-check High Resolution Textures in the Config.
Hopefully someone can point me toward the cause and the fix.

now,you have three folders.Don’t think this is necessary anymore, devs ditched this with 4.36.
DB will re-build without it, just tried. -
install chocks,you can see ladder

Tried that already – same result: no ladder.
I’ve just fired off an email to JanHas asking for help.
Thanks all for your help.
