Modman Question

[Colt40Five]

I got a fictional peruvian navy Su-39 skin for Su-25t here.

 

but it doesn't work. file format is similar to the fictional Hungarian 25T skin at lockonfiles, but seems to be missing a key element.

 

this is how the hungarian skin looks in modman's edit screen:

 

And this is the Peruvian one:

 

I tried to repack the file, but get the same missing catalog slots. I'm assuming there is just something I don't know about using modman to make packs. Anyone got any pointers on how to get the catalog files right?

i think problem lies here: in element name ( in peruvian skin ) you can see dimensions of picture ( 2048x2048, 1024x1024 ). Remove them ( rename )

for example:

 

SU39-PAINT1-DEF-01-1024X1024 - WRONG!!!!

the new name will be:

SU39-PAINT1-DEF-01 - CORRECT

Was a good idea, but skin still doesn't work. Catalog slots still blank, and no skin in-game. Thanks for trying!

Anivanov should be correct about this. The Catalog File is determined by the name of the texture. Try adding .bmp to the texture names.

 

Example: SU39-PAINT1-DEF-01.bmp

Colt, See my posts on this subject here in this thread.

I offered to repack the skins but never heard from the author. I would offer to do it again but as you know, my injuries from my accident limit the amount of time I can spend at my PC at the moment. If you still need it done when I can, I will be more than happy to do it. :)

I install with mod man: f-15 strike eagle of Colibri, but the skin is half on the plane, the same with others skins can you help me?

[smatchimo]

Sry Bingo, I have the same prob and never got any response either. I'm assuming It doesnt effect very many people, because this is a great community for getting help. I've used modman,cdds tutorial and no luck. Most of my F-15's end up half/half. If you do figure it out please post the fix, I will do the same.

 

-Cheers!

Install the F15 skins and uncheck the box that says "Install in CDDS files".

 

Install them in the CDDS file by hand if you have to. Maybe if you've got 2Gb of RAM it won't matter, but a bunch of stuff in TempTextures is a bad thing.
