Description.lua Assistance for NMp

What is the proper syntax to use a custom NMp textures? For example; Is it correct below?

livery = {
{"P51D_FUZ_FRONT", 0 ,"p51D_DIF_Fuz_Front_Test",false};
{"P51D_FUZ_REAR", 0 ,"p51D_DIF_Fuz_Rear_Test",false};
{"P51D_WING_L", 0 ,"p51D_DIF_L_Wing_Test",false};
{"P51D_WING_R", 0 ,"p51D_DIF_R_Wing_Test",false};

{"P51D_WING_L", 0,"p51D_NMp_L_Wing_Test",false};

{"P51D_FUZ_FRONT", 2 ,"p51D_SPEC_Fuz_Front_Test",false};
{"P51D_FUZ_REAR", 2 ,"p51D_SPEC_Fuz_Rear_Test",false};
{"P51D_WING_L", 2 ,"p51D_SPEC_L_Wing_Test",false};
{"P51D_WING_R", 2 ,"p51D_SPEC_R_Wing_Test",false};

I haven't tried a custom normal map yet, but I would think that might work as long as you place the file in the same folder as your skin. Would probable be a good idea to change the channel to a 1 or another numbers might help.

 {"P51D_WING_L", 1,"p51D_NMp_L_Wing_Test",false};

Have you tried replacing the normal map in Bazar/world/textures/p-51d.rar file to make sure it loads? Backup original first!

I thought I had it wrong. I used the parenthacies ( instead of braces { . Suckers are hard to tell the difference sometimes. Changing the layer to 1 also helped.

Thanks for the correction :)

Can i add custom specular maps to the A10 in this way? how do you know which channel to use. or is the channel defined in the model and the A10 wasn't designed with unique 'per livery' spec maps in mind?

Well with the A10 beta now, try it out. Something easy.

Make a copy of your merged skin, and desaturate it. Then follow along with the file name system.

Create another merged skin and make it the oppossite.

Try both. For now dont mess with the RGB values...just use gray scale colors, black and white.
