Can you use custom skins in multiplayer?

[TheHighwayman]

I am working on a multiplayer campaign with a buddy and we are wondering if we can have custom skins made for the aircraft.

 

Does anyone know if we can include custom skins for the mission?

 

Thanks!

You cannot include them in the .miz itself, but as long as everyone has them installed there shouldn't be any issues.

You need to change the skin on the aircraft in each mission to use your own skin. Then you both needs to have the correct skin installed and of course fly the aircraft with that skin. Then you can see the user created skin.

Hey, guys.

Any ideas?

All players must place the folder containing your skin in the following directory:

\DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\Liveries\AJS37

 

Make sure the name is identical for all players.

 

Add your skin to the mission via the Mission Editor. Make sure your server PC also has the skin pack installed if you're using a different machine to host.

 

Should work then...haven't any custom skins for the Viggen though so I can't guarantee :)

Do you mean the name of the "skin" folder?

[feefifofum]

Yes, otherwise the game won't know it's the same skin.

 

So for example:

 

\DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\Liveries\AJS37\DHorseSkin

 

the DHorseSkin directory would contain the .dds files for your custom paint.
