Warlord64 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) I have created an oversimplified Layered Template. It has all the basic elements for making skins with far fewer Layers than the official Paint Kit and is much more user freindly. The template is in PSD Format so can be used with Gimp as well as Photoshop.

Maico249th Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Fellas, I have been asking for these since the release! Thank You Keefy! Im just pulling my hair out on how to activate them in game. I know how to pick a skin in mission builder. I tried adding the quotes and numbers to the files within the files in the skin folders. Where have I gone wrong? Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where have I gone wrong? Thanks all Hi Maico249th Im really happy youre pleased with the Template:thumbup: to add skins in game for Mig-21Bis follow these instructions Place Skins into: DCS World/CoreMods/aircraft/Mig-21Bis/Liveries To use in game go to 'Mission Builder' insert Aircraft Right Click for 'Properties' Menu Click on 'Payload' Tab and the in the 'Paint Scheme' Drop down Menu at the bottom of the page select the desired skin.. IMPORTANT Make sure to assign your aircraft to a Numbered Port shown in RED below [WITH comma's] in the 'documents' folder that comes with the skins, for example: id=0 name = "04 - NVA_Mig-21" MiG21Bis_01_Dif.dds MiG21Bis_02_Dif.dd2 = 4096 x 4096 Resolution ---------------------------------------------------- MiG-21Bis_LOWREZ_1.dds MiG-21Bis_LOWREZ_2.dd2 = 1024 X 1024 Resolution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warlord64 Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Yes, that includes the original artists too. ;) Hi Rudel +1 Absolutely,Devs work very much appreciated:worthy: :thumbup: My point was I have created a Fully Layered Template that could be used for Skinning with the Alpha channels rather than just a Blank skin for painting over,as far as I am aware and from what I have seen on the Mig-21 Forum there was a need for a Fully Layered Template as there is not an official Mig-21Bis Template with Layers as yet.

Flogger23m Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 keefyboy, thanks for the template. Just one quick question. I am new to Photoshop (I have CS2) and have a question. When I disable the grey background layer everything is checkered. This makes it a bit difficult to see the lines/details and tell what area I am looking at. This also happens in GIMP. With the official ED templates when I disable the base colors I can see a clear white background with all the lines, details, rivet layers, ect. making it easy to create a color scheme. Just wondering if there is a way to remove the checkered background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golani79 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 The checkerboard shows you that there is transparency - if you want it to be white just create a new layer above the grey and fill it with white. >> DCS liveries by golani79 << Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
