Mod for place Skin on Mission file

[FlyMaker]

Hi guys.

 

I have a dream :D

Edit some Lua files to put liveries inside mission file. This is possible?

Impractical since livery files can be very large

Sometimes you need only one Skin. I have MP missions with 30 MB and not have issues.

 

I guess that is not a really big file.

when you join a server, you need to download that miz, which can cause a long time, many livery can reach > 100MB

Sad =/

 

Make missions with custom skin is a real good idea for me. I dont care if i will lose 2/3 minutes downloading a .miz

 

The compress of zip file do a good job. I have a Miz with 4 custom skins inside - 140mb - ( I try to do same thing as Kneeboard). After all the miz file have 40 mb

you can have a try, and integrate the livery as how it is done in saved game/dcs/

I will keep looking the files, not found anything yet and i don't have experience with lua and DCS files structure.

Example autoexec.cfg:

 

options.graphics.maxfps = 30

options.graphics.render3D = false

options.graphics.ScreenshotQuality = 75

-- add custom texture path

-- note the slashes!

table.insert(options.graphics.VFSTexturePaths, "c:/Users/<LOGIN>/Saved Games/DCS/MyTextures")

 

I need to know where DCS extract the "Miz" file, if i put on this table the custom patch with liveries maybe that work.

 

I made a search but without success.

 

Anyone who know how DCS file structure works can help-me?
