hi

Edit a file MEinit.xml. Allow the USA to use these machines. All numbers and recognition symbols will disappear.

I think all the markings are stored in nomera.tga and you would need to make a blank nomera.tga to remove them.

[Deadman]

Put these TGA files in to your C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On\Bazar\TempTextures all marking should be removed from the F-5 and the Iron cross and numbers will be removed from the German Tornado Let me know if you have any problems

But then by all other machines too there will be no numbers. It is not good.

Yes but since those skins appear to be for the Saudi airforce, a better option would be to simply create a new Saudi Arabia country option for them. :)

To add the new country it will not turn out. The of the countries is limited. I already tried it to make. It has not turned out.

I am sorry he ask only how to remove the numbers and markings off of two air craft This is the easyest way it works and its good. no mention of using other F5 or Tornados was given for other countrys so if you don't want to use it don't. Did you give Strike One instructions on how to edit his Meint file?

[Alfa]

There is no limitation what so ever in terms of how many countries you can add to Lock-on :) .

 

I already tried it to make

 

So did I ;)

 

It has not turned out.

 

Then you did something wrong :)

How is it done Alfa? I would add Romania... when the MIG 21 will be finished by Strikemax :).

[Valery]

I now shall try to make the country nonexistent Baccardia.

I shall allow to use to her all planes. On results I shall inform.

[Alfa]

How is it done Alfa?

 

Well there is a little too much involved for me to make a step-by-step guide, but basically you just copy the structure of an existing country entry in the meinit.xml, replace the country specific bits with those for the one you want to add and state a new CLSID for it - then build up the entry with unit types you want available for it.

 

Thats just for adding the country and making it an available option in the Editor, but if you also want a pilot log entry for the country, there is an entire second part(just as comprehensive) to do in the Countries.xml file - just as you would need to make all the textures for rank insignias, medals, pilot photos and squadron badges.

 

I actually already made such a complete mod for Romania(+ Bulgaria, Italy and Portugal) once, but it kind of stranded on the medals......difficult to find images of them and difficult to make proper looking .tga files out of them for the game, but other than that it was complete :) .

 

I would add Romania... when the MIG 21 will be finished by Strikemax :).

 

I suppose I could dig out that mod(I am sure I still have it somewhere), re-make it for V1.12a(IIRC I made it for V1.01) and include the MiG-21 for Romania and Bulgaria when Strikemax releases his model.

The country has made!

Question for Alfa.

I draw own recognition symbols for Baccardia. They need to be registered in what file for use?

[zaelu]

Thanks Alfa for reply. I'll see what I can dig for those pics.

Do you mean a flag? - if so, then it should be in lockon\FUI\Common\Flags folder :)

No, No flag. I speak about signs on the state accessory. As in Russia stars, on a tail and wings. Here in this a question. How to make that my signs were displayed, that country which I have made?

Here I could not make this.

I do not wish to draw on skins.

Ah ok I understand :) .

 

No that is not possible Valery - painting the markings on the skins is the only way.

Conclusion: the High-grade country to create it is impossible.

Why?

 

All skins for Lock-on's MiG-29 have the markings painted directly on the skins.....and this in fact looks far better than markings assigned via separate texture files.

 

- JJ.

[Valery]

I agree that look better! I wished make the country which could to use ALL planes. To alter all skins from LO it is a lot of work.

Ah ok I see. Yes that would be a lot of work......and some 3D models only support a single skin, so painting markings directly on that would mess things up for existing countries using that plane.

 

But then, in my opinion, a "high quality" country mod means replicating the plane composition of a real country.....which is quite possible :) .

Su-25T as well, and I've done that for the Su-33, though I had to make the nomera.tga file transparent so it doesn't show up:

 

 

 

And a non-modded Su-30:

 

 

 

As Alfa says, the rendering looks more "realistic" since obviously, national markings are painted on the aircraft and not a seperate thing. Note on the Su-30 how the Stars stay the same, while the rest of the rendering does it's thing. IMO directly painted on makes the skin look better too.

Damn you all beat me to the punch...
