[SuperKungFu]

sweet, downloading now. I assume the links have been updated in the first post?

[Ice]

you assume correctly :-)

[Disso]

Can you make this LOMAN compatible?

[Ice]

Not possible to make it modman or loman compatible

[PythonOne]

or you could host the bmp files of those skins and let us convert it to cdds or whatever. Personally, i compile all my Su-33 skins into one pack, i know you can make a cdds turn into bmp but you have to convert and all that and i don't want to. It would be easier if you hosted the bmp files.

[Disso]

Exactly why not? Excuse my ignorance.

 

I downloaded the files and indeed they are in a different format. Why is this done? Anyway, it shouldn't have been a problem, just more hassle to install, but when I DID install it, it completely screwed up my ingame graphics. In the mission editor, all the textures were missing for everything, and trying to get ingame, it just crashed. Followed your instructions exactly.

[Ice]

The graphics.cfg is most likely the problem. Just try to match the text as best as possible to this

Modman cant edit files only add them.

the CDDS files are new and support high res the default Cdds files do not.

Sure yes, you can !

 

Check this addon we make for our wing:

It's full modman compatible thanks to the updatecfg.exe :thumbup:

[Cosmonaut]

If you just want the .bmp files to add to your own CDDS files then you can just use Modman to extract them similar to using winzip.

 

From my Tut;

"...... you could also extract the textures you want to replace one at a time by clicking the Extract button at the top and in the Texture Extraction window that pops up select BMP as the Output file format then Extract and Quit when it’s done..... Note; the file will be extracted to the location of the Export/Import Path."

 

I hope Ice doesn't mind me posting this. :noexpression: .

[Ice]

I dont mind at all. If someone wants to make it a modman compatible mod. I'd also be most apreciative.

[Disso]

Yes, please!

[Ezor]

I just have created a modman archive and i have put it on lockonfiles. Just wait for the validation

[Ezor]

modman pack available here:

[Ice]

Good Job! Thanks .. Rep inbound

[GregP]

Ice, these skins are just incredible, thanks for your work put into them.

 

And Ezor, thanks for making a Modman version ... I was holding off on downloading these until that had been done - wasn't up to fooling with CDDS's manually when I have everything else running through Modman. :)

Thx for this file, this has saved my day - at least half, the texture problem on LOD change remains like for all custom skins which don't replace (not only override) original texture files.

[Kuky]

Thanks Ice. I've installed these skins and they look good. :thumbup:

Dissapearing entries in graphics.cfg

 

I have some issue with this skin pack. Whenever I install it (either with modman or manually - it doesn't matter) the game overrites the entry in graphics.cfg file and the path to the files dissapears. Once I managed to load this textures (btw - they're awesome :-) by marking the file "graphics.cfg" "read only" after I put those paths into it, the game started normally and the skins were available, but after I left the game the attribute "read only" had dissapeard and next time I started the game without changing anything in middletime, skins were gone. Does anyone knows what am I doing wrong with this skins?
