Spitfire ID letters bug - help needed

[Reflected]

Hi,

 

I'm working on a blank standard Spitfire skin, but the letters and serials look strange. They still have the "old background" which differs from the colors on my skin. How do I make only the letters and numbers visible, but not their background?

 

Here's my description.lua

 

livery = {

{"SpitfireIX", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_RAF_DIF",false};

{"NUMBER_L_0", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

{"NUMBER_L_00", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

{"NUMBER_L_000", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

 

{"NUMBER_L_F3_0", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_DIF",true};

{"NUMBER_L_F3_00", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_DIF",true};

{"NUMBER_L_F3_000", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_DIF",true};

 

{"NUMBER_R_0", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

{"NUMBER_R_00", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

{"NUMBER_R_000", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

 

{"NUMBER_R_F3_0", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_DIF",true};

{"NUMBER_R_F3_00", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_DIF",true};

{"NUMBER_R_F3_000", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_DIF",true};

}

name = "RAF default by Reflected"

name_ru = "RAF default by Reflected"

Do you also have a customized ROUGHNESS_METALLIC layer and have forgotten to set it for numbers as well?

No, everything but the DIF and the ID letter color file are the stock ones.

I think each "SpitfireIX_DIF",true}; you have in your lua needs to be changed to "SpitfireIX_RAF_DIF",false}; or the game will use the default skin instead of yours for the serial backgrounds?

Now that I see it... What jocko said :D

 

Memo to myself: Clean your glasses

Shall I mention the time I spent a few hours cursing at the screen before I realised I needed a SEMI-colon, not a colon, in an lua line... I don't wear glasses (yet) but my eyes get just as dirty :D

I tried that but it didn't work. Anyhow it's only in the lines referring to the black "000". But the "BS" as well as the 3 ID letters also have the original background. Damn these .lua files :joystick:

@ Reflected - If you like send me a PM with a link to your skin ( lua, dds, everything) and i will have a look and play with it.

Thanks, I would really appreciate that. I will send it as soon as I get home tonight.

Here is a complete description.lua which uses your Sky file for all serial numbers. Does the effect still occur?

 

livery = {

{"SpitfireIX", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_RAF_DIF",false};

 

{"NUMBER_L_0", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_RAF_DIF",false};

{"NUMBER_L_0", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

{"NUMBER_L_00", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_RAF_DIF",false};

{"NUMBER_L_00", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

{"NUMBER_L_000", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_RAF_DIF",false};

{"NUMBER_L_000", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

 

{"NUMBER_L_F3_0", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_RAF_DIF",false};

{"NUMBER_L_F3_0", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

{"NUMBER_L_F3_00", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_RAF_DIF",false};

{"NUMBER_L_F3_00", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

{"NUMBER_L_F3_000", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_RAF_DIF",false};

{"NUMBER_L_F3_000", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

{"NUMBER_L_F3_N", 0, "SpitfireIX_RAF_DIF", false};

{"NUMBER_L_F3_N", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

{"NUMBER_L_F3_NN", 0, "SpitfireIX_RAF_DIF", false};

{"NUMBER_L_F3_NN", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

 

{"NUMBER_R_0", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_RAF_DIF",false};

{"NUMBER_R_0", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

{"NUMBER_R_00", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_RAF_DIF",false};

{"NUMBER_R_00", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

{"NUMBER_R_000", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_RAF_DIF",false};

{"NUMBER_R_000", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

 

{"NUMBER_R_F3_0", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_RAF_DIF",false};

{"NUMBER_R_F3_0", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

{"NUMBER_R_F3_00", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_RAF_DIF",false};

{"NUMBER_R_F3_00", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

{"NUMBER_R_F3_000", 0 ,"SpitfireIX_RAF_DIF",false};

{"NUMBER_R_F3_000", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

{"NUMBER_R_F3_N", 0, "SpitfireIX_RAF_DIF", false};

{"NUMBER_R_F3_N", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

{"NUMBER_R_F3_NN", 0, "SpitfireIX_RAF_DIF", false};

{"NUMBER_R_F3_NN", DECAL ,"Sky",false};

}

name = "RAF default by Reflected"

name_ru = "RAF default by Reflected"

CHSubZero - Thanks a lot, it solved my original problem but introduced a new one. I guess because only the ID letters should be using the "sky" file, not the serial number? Which part should I modify?

According your example in the first post "FY-G BS847" would be:

 

F = NUMBER_L_0 / NUMBER_R_0

Y = NUMBER_L_00 / NUMBER_R_00

G = NUMBER_L_00 / NUMBER_R_000

 

B = NUMBER_L_F3_N / NUMBER_R_F3_N

S = NUMBER_L_F3_NN / NUMBER_R_F3_NN

8 = NUMBER_L_F3_0 / NUMBER_R_F3_0

4 = NUMBER_L_F3_00 / NUMBER_R_F3_00

7 = NUMBER_L_F3_000 / NUMBER_R_F3_000

[Reflected]

Bingo! It works! What I did was to copy the file responsible for the black serial number from the textures zip to my folder and change "sky" to that one in the description.lua!

 

Brilliant! Thank you so much for your help fellas. When it comes to description.lua-s I'm such an illiterate... I really appreciate your help!

 

Cheers,

Greg
