Overview
SLAM (SymLink Advanced Mod-manager) is a PowerShell-based GUI mod management tool designed for DCS (Digital Combat Simulator) World. It leverages symbolic links to manage mods more efficiently, providing a seamless way to install, uninstall, and toggle mods without the need to move files around. This ensures that your original mod files remain untouched, and any changes made in-game are directly reflected in the linked files.
Features
- Space Saving: Symbolic links create a direct reference to the mod files, reducing disk space usage and improving performance.
- Minimized SSD Degradation: Fewer reads/writes are performed, leading to less degradation of SSDs.
- Efficient Mod Management: Easily install, uninstall, and toggle mods using symbolic links.
- Automatic Backup: Automatically backs up DCS files before creating symbolic links to mods, ensuring you can easily revert to the original game state if needed.
- Persistent Mod Files: Uses symbolic links to ensure any edits made in-game are directly reflected and retained in the mod files.
- Simple Configuration: Uses a single
config.txtfile to specify the game install location. - User-Friendly Interface: Command-line interface guides you through selecting games and mods.
