Colt40Five Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 So I'm screwing around making skins for the F-15. How do you prevent the tail numbers and the badges on the sides of the fuselage from being displayed? It's not on my skin so it's got to be another file?? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Deadman Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 which skin number? the tail numbers are in the tga file TACTNUMBERS-USAF-BLACK and there are 9 F-15 patch DEf in the TGA files .you can just make a blank tga file the same size name the same and put it in to the bazar temp textur folder and see what happens https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
SuperKungFu Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 damn my internet screwed up right when i posed a message to this post. So sorry if this is a double post. Anyway, i remember i saw a download over at lockonfiles that removed the tail #. I believed i downloaded it and instead of carrying the 01 symbol, i change it to 999 and it will go away.

Deadman Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 hum thats intersting the mods for removing tga ie numbers and patches. I have seen have been a new tga file but blank with the graphic and alpha chanel both removed https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
Colt40Five Posted October 2, 2006 Author Posted October 2, 2006 so what you're saying is that if I make a blank tga file called TACTNUMBERS-USAF-BLACK (skin # 3? format??) and drop it in temptextures that will clear it up? I'm gonna have to look through some of my skins and see if I have one that already has this file in it I can just rename. Thanks. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Deadman Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Hi colt for def 3 on the f-15 third skin in the payload try the attached TGA file they will pull the numbers off all the F-15s and the patches off the intakes on the third skin only . Just put both files in the Temp Texture folder and it may work. take it easy your welcome:pilotfly: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
Colt40Five Posted October 3, 2006 Author Posted October 3, 2006 Thank you!!! You ever work on a skin and get about done and then decide you don't like it?? I'm kind of at that point...lol I'm new at this so I'm considering it all a learning experience. Back to the editor I go... Thanks Again! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I put it in to cold storage and move on.LOL so ya I know what your talking about The only reaason I have been able to answer you about TGA files is I got board and starte taking the names out of the CDDS befor the last extraction tool came out and just start painting them greento see what it did :pilotfly: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
