F-15 new JASDF skin

omg :doh: you should see the result... in a second

 

Edit: here it is. I`ve created a new stealth aircraft WTH?!!

 

 

Man I`ll post one in the screenshots thread :lol:

Edited July 5, 2010 by topol-m

Good job :)

 

Now it seem's that the new slot is there but not the textures

 

What is writen at the end of F-15.Skins ?

 

skin

{

value = 1.0;

material = {"F15C_1", "standart", "JASDF-F15C-1-01.bmp"};

material = {"F15C_1_met", "standart", "JASDF-F15C-1-01.bmp"};

material = {"F15C_2", "standart", "JASDF-F15C-2-01.bmp"};

material = {"F15C_2_met", "standart", "JASDF-F15C-2-01.bmp"};

material = {"F15C_Numbers", "standart", "F15C-numbers-00.tga"};

material = {"F15C_lattice", "standart", "F15C-lattice-01.tga"};

material = {"F15C_Logo", "standart", "F15C-Logo-00.tga"};

material = {"F15C_Logo2", "standart", "F15C-Logo2-00.tga"};

}

 

and in Scripts\Database\planes\F-15C.lua have you a line like :

 

color_scheme("{DE957564-886B-11DF-876E-9908DFD72085}", _("JASDF black-green skin 1.0"), 10),

 

if it's ok you have a problem with the name of the textures or the cdds is not declared in config/graphics.cfg

 

common = ".\\Bazar\\World\\YourCDDS.cdds";

 

copy the BMP textures files in temptextures to test (if the textures are then visible the problem is in graphics.cfg, if not it's the name of the texture files)

Did you put the CDDS at the correct place Bazar\World ? And did you use Modmake and add the cdds in the pack with modmaker ? Only this way modman knows how to install the textures

there is value 1.0 and there is this line in F-15C.lua:

color_scheme("{DE957564-886B-11DF-876E-9908DFD72085}", _("JASDF black-green skin 1.0"), 10),

 

but i don`t see an entry with my .cdds in graphics.cfg

Did you put the CDDS at the correct place Bazar\World ? And did you use Modmake and add the cdds in the pack with modmaker ? Only this way modman knows how to install the textures

Oh wait before I make a zip file the cdds should be in Bazar\World?

Yes, and you have to use modmaker to do that, to show him where the file is( 1- choose addon file). Only this way modman know that he have to declare it in graphics.cfg

I`m using modmaker, but is this needed only for the creation of the package? The guys downloading it can just install with modman right? Without having to deal with cdds?

 

Edit: it`s still stealth. should the lma7 also be in bazar\world?

Edited July 5, 2010 by topol-m

Right. But if the mod is only a zip file, Modman cant use it. Modmaker is there to create the informations needed by Modman to install corectly the pack. There is a .lma3 or .lma file generated by modmaker in the pack to give the infos to Modman Edited July 5, 2010 by Michelange

I don`t understand what am I doing wrong but it`s still invisible. Here the .lma7 again if you can find some mistakes:

 

[skin]

file = Bazar\World\Shapes\F-15.skins

argument = 70

otherfile1 = Bazar\World\Shapes\F-15-fonar.skins

otherfile2 = Bazar\World\Shapes\F-15-OBLOMOK-WING-L.skins

otherfile3 = Bazar\World\Shapes\F-15-OBLOMOK-WING-R.skins

l1 = material = {"F15C_1", "standart", "JASDF-F15C-1-01.bmp"};

l2 = material = {"F15C_1_met", "standart", "JASDF-F15C-1-01.bmp"};

l3 = material = {"F15C_2", "standart", "JASDF-F15C-2-01.bmp"};

l4 = material = {"F15C_2_met", "standart", "JASDF-F15C-2-01.bmp"};

l5 = material = {"F15C_Numbers", "standart", "F15C-numbers-00.tga"};

l6 = material = {"F15C_lattice", "standart", "F15C-lattice-01.tga"};

l7 = material = {"F15C_Logo", "standart", "F15C-Logo-00.tga"};

l8 = material = {"F15C_Logo2", "standart", "F15C-Logo2-00.tga"};

 

[color_scheme]

country = {EFADDFE6-9360-4523-8CAB-2D74182617FD}

cnt_unit = {CD247E45-4702-4E3A-A659-4F5E0E645D2B}

color_scheme = {DE957564-886B-11DF-876E-9908DFD72085}

color_name = JASDF black-green skin 1.0

file = Scripts\Database\planes\F-15C.lua

 

Edit: can`t we somehow include the line, that should be added to the graphics.cfg, in the .lma7?

Edited July 5, 2010 by topol-m

when you create the mission you have a new slot in the skin list of the F15. Correct ?

 

That mean that the .lma7 works

 

In your .CDDS you have 2 textures called JASDF-F15C-1-01.bmp and JASDF-F15C-2-01.bmp ? be shure of this.

 

Put this 2 textures in the temptextures directory to verify if they are working.

 

the problem is there.

No, it's automaticaly generated by modmaker when you save as zip Edited July 5, 2010 by Michelange

I`ll try the whole procedure again and with the 2 bmps in temp textures...

@topol-m : read your E-mail, the Pack is OK for me.

& 1 more question :

 

Can You make JASDF Apache and Cobra Special Skins too ?

Like this:

Topol-m ! PLZ make more these Anniversary skins !

 

 

I can`t promise anything cause at the moment I`m working on #3, #4 is in early stage too. Maybe after these 2 but it will not be soon. Right now I have very little time so the whole thing is going very slowly.

 

The first one of those anniversary skins you posted is very nice. I would need more pics though from all angles.

 

BTW do you have some higher res. pic of those JASDF F-15 decals?

 

Edit: just to have an idea of how many pics are needed to make an accurate skin - the more the better :) For skin #2 I`ve used about 15 photos of the aircraft, for skin #3 I`m using - 19. And still I don`t have enough high res. pics of some of the marks, but they are few :)

 

Edit:2

I think Michelange wanted to make JASDF helicopters, he might find those ^^^ decals very useful.

COPY, I understand skinning needs plenty of time :(

I will send you if i find but an Anniversary Paints Walkarounds web page would be GREAT ;)

 

BTW do you have some higher res. pic of those JASDF F-15 decals?

 

SRY not (not yet) Im still searching on the NET :(
