the_soupdragon Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 OK how about pilot skins? would this work for them? and if so what folder structure would it need. BTW I love this little utility it's fantastic. Saves me a massive amount of space on my SSD. Thanks for making this Skate.

SkateZilla Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Aren't Pilot skins part of the aircraft skin description files?

the_soupdragon Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I am having a bit of trouble with the Viggen and Spitfire skins. for example I have created a folder in my DCS.Liveries folder called "AJS37" I have placed 1 or 2 skins in there but they dont show up in the mission editor just the 2 default skins. it's the same with the Spitfire the folder is called "SpitfireLFMkIK" What have I done wrong? Any ideas Cheers SD [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas Cant say about the Spitfire, but with the Viggen the utility works well ... this is my DCS.Liveries folder for the AJS37: ... and they do show up on Mission Editor: Perhaps you are using a country that isn't listed on the livery's description.lua file ... for example, on the skin of my example, the description.lua file includes this lines: name = "USA - US Navy Tiger Tail VAW-125 (by coronaman)" countries = {"USA", "FRA", "UKR", "SPN", "NETH", "TUR", "BEL", "GER", "NOR", "CAN", "DEN", "UK", "GRG", "ISR", "ABH", "RSO"} So, if the plane I'm using is from a different country, the skin won't show up on the ME. :) For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Dear Skatezilla, It seems that the last update of DCS World has broken this Mod ... when I go to the mission editor and add a new plane, it doesnt show the liveries preview and the mission editor gets stuck ... can you please check? Could it be that I've gathered too many liveries ?

Could it be that I've gathered too many liveries ? It still works for me, I have all my DCS Installs on my H:\ Drive (up to about 10 installs now) ie H:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS.Install\ The Entire Drive is nothing but DCS World actually, so it's literally a DCS Drive I have /Saved Games/DCS.Install/Mods/Aircraft/Liveries Import/entry.lua for all of the installs I use custom skins with w/ Link to One folder. I have my skins in H:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS.Liveries\ They All load up fine. Though a few weeks back I ran into a issue some liveries I downloaded from the DCS User Files section had errors in the description LUA and caused problems, In Mission Editor when Changing Liveries (Textures wouldnt load properly) and caused DCS to Crash even when using default liveries when loading mission. Especially F-86 Liveries, Im not sure if its a call for the cockpit textures or not, since those should all be separate now,. But the 3 Liveries I had issues w/ had Lines for the Dark RCAF Cockpit Textures. Most of the AC were updated to allow custom cockpit textures selected via Options menu (ie Localized, Re-Painted, etc). Best Advice for this problem is to remove all liveries, and add them back groups at a time, But I'd Remove any that have custom cockpit textures called in the description.lua first Edited April 20, 2017 by SkateZilla Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkateZilla Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) I think Custom Cockpits now should be for example: /DCS.Liveries/Cockpit_F-86F Sabre/<Cockpit Name>/description.lua or in the /mod/<aircraft>/Liveries/Cockpit_<AIRCRAFT>/ Folder After work today I'm going to look at that, pretty sure cockpit and incorrect material assignments in those liveries are the problem.

Rudel_chw Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Hello, Thanks a lot for the answer, will do as you suggest :) Best regards Hello, Sorry for not updating this issue ... you were right, I had on my collection a couple of skins that triggered this problem with the mission editor. I've many skins, so it took a while to locate them :) I took a look at the description.lua of these skins, but couldnt see what was wrong with them ... so I just deleted them from my skins folder and now my DCS is working fine again. Thanks a lot for this great Mod ... I'm glad that it now doesn't trigger the Integrity Check, as I'm starting to use the Multiplayer DCS. Cheers!

Rudel_chw Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Hello, Just wanted to say that, after the recent change on how liveries are located by DCS World (see https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=190778) there is no longer a need for this module created by Skatezilla. I've just stopped using it, storing instead all my Liveries on a single folder and then creating hard links to it from each one of my DCS "Saved Games" folder, using a command like this: mklink /j Liveries E:\DCS.Liveries where E:\DCS.Liveries is the folder where I store my liveries collection.

HiJack Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Cockpit livery uses same liveries path as skin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Can't say this have been a success. Can you move one of your cockpits to "C:/DCS.Liveries/" and make it work? Please then post the link to the cockpit textures. Moved all cockpits back to program folder, works, so for now I will continue to sync OB and OA folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
