Mushu Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hi guys, I began to create a new skin for the Huey. I want to paint the Blade and the tail blade, but i did'nt find where is it. Is there on another file ? (I have uh1.bmp and uh1_tail.bmp) Here is my description.lua: livery = { {"uh1_main_dam", 0, "uh1_cf.bmp", false}; {"uh1_tail_dam", 0, "uh1_cf_tail.bmp", false}; } name = "Conservation Land and Forest" countries = {"CAN"} Did i miss something? Thanks [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieboy Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) It's lives in DCS World\Bazar\Textures\uh-1.zip Also, I believe it should read true instead of false for the main textures? The _dam represents the damage texture not the main texture. True means it's visible when the game loads. {"uh1_main_dam", 0, "uh1_cf.bmp", true}; {"uh1_tail_dam", 0, "uh1_cf_tail.bmp", true}; Below is a screen pointing to the tail rotor Edited May 29, 2013 by aussieboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushu Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Thanks for answer, il will try to change value for _dam. And True or False, i read that : True = Texture file in a .dds False = Directly in .bmp [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHSubZero Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 True = Texture file in a .dds False = Directly in .bmp Nope :smilewink: True = Skin file in the same folder as description.lua False = TempTextures or somewhere else My Mods: DCS User Files Modules owned: EVERY Module :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey45 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 The main rotors are under the tail rotors. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Mushu Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Nope :smilewink: True = Skin file in the same folder as description.lua False = TempTextures or somewhere else Oh Okay thanks! :) The main rotors are under the tail rotors. Yes, but i dont understand. I paint my main rotors in white, and in game, it's still black! :( [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieboy Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Wouldn't it be: True = it's in the textures .zip assigned in the graphics.lua False = it's in the description folder Why I say that, the UH-1 Army standard has only true entries in the description and no textures are in the liveries folder. Whilst the UH-1 Israel Army description has only one entry that is assigned as false and this corresponds to the only texture in the liveries folder.

aussieboy Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) Yes, but i dont understand. I paint my main rotors in white, and in game, it's still black! :( For the main rotor file name uh_1_blade.tga.dds: Add the below entry to your description file. {"uh1_rotor_alfa", 0, "uh_1_blade.tga",false}; Edited May 29, 2013 by aussieboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home Fries Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 The texture aussieboy references is the moving rotor texture. When the rotor is still (i.e cold start), it will use the texture in the UH1_Tail file. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To open a .dds file, which software can i use? (Modman? Edit: I found DTX BMP) (ED community is the best! :D ) Edited May 29, 2013 by Mushu [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieboy Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Awesome, thanks Home Fries that is correct. Also my post #7 is the correct method to use. If the texture is in liveries folder the entry in the description needs to be set to false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushu Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 It works perfectly! Thanks a lot! :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieboy Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Great news Mushu! Sorry for taking so long to point you in the right direction, I did a full reinstall yesterday after failed update and lost my Australian Army repaint. I had a copy of the main textures but not the rotor or the description file.:doh: Silly me. It should have only taken one post to sort this so I'm a little embarrassed to say the least. I eventually found it all sitting on my desktop in a zip file I had planned to upload. :doh: If there was an icon kicking itself in the butt I would have used that instead of the Doh icon :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushu Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) ;) Coming Back. I have some new issues for my skin! I'm looking for those files, but i explore all .dds files but nothing : {"UH1-cpt-door", 0 ,"UH1_door_c_gray",true}; {"UH1-cpt_karkas", 0 ,"UH1_karkas_c_gray",true}; {"UH1-cpt_karkas2", 0 ,"UH1_karkas2_c_gray",true}; {"UH1-cpt_panel", 0 ,"UH1_panel_c_gray",true}; {"UH1-cpt_central_box", 0 ,"UH1_boxs_c_gray",true}; {"UH1-cpt_dev2", 0 ,"UH1_dev_2",true}; Do you know where are they located? And what does the number 0 on description.lua? {"UH1-cpt-door", 0 ,"UH1_door_c_gray",true}; Thanks. :) Mushu Edited June 5, 2013 by Mushu [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
