EricJ Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Just started this, after figuring out the .skins file (somewhat, I replace the sixth skin): LOMAC Section| | Gaming Resume (PDF) | Gallery | Flanker2.51 Storage Site | Also known as Flanker562 back in the day...

Cosmonaut Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Nice:thumbup: . Ah yeah I forgot the F18's are .lom models. You should be able to actually add a slot to the F-18A/C.skins file if you don't want to use what's there already. Cozmo. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Minimum effort, maximum satisfaction.

EricJ Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Yeah that's true, but since I don't know the whole process it's going to be like that until I get around to figuring that stuff out.

Starlight Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 yeah, with the Hornet you can add as many skins as you want... I'll post a brief tutorial I've found this, it's a excerpt of a post made some time ago on the ubi forums... can't remember the author Hmm, I could try to show one simple test example for "C-130"... Preliminary notes: - used CLSID is generated with external tool (appears to be functional with LockOn-engine) - new modified texture (in my case only color-tones changed) is "C130-green.bmp" (in "TempTextures" subdir or in any other created/defined for similar purposes) - important are "ID=5" and "value = 0.5;" - "C-130_okras" is the name of "DXMesh - DXDefMaterial" property/group in shape file "C-130.LOM" //------------------------------------------------------------------ // Insert following stuff into appropriate place (after last "ColorScheme" section of "C-130" plane definition in global "Planes") in "MEInit.xml" file // Insert after this line: <ColorScheme Name="Standart" ID="3" CLSID="{e168a397-dbd6-4ffd-a15c-438229d31797}"/> code: <ColorScheme Name="Green C-130" ID="5" CLSID="{4D3734D2-1787-40d7-8A8F-D96804EBC386}"/> //------------------------------------------------------------------ // Insert following stuff into appropriate place (after "USAF Standard" "ColorScheme" section of "C-130J" plane in USA country part of global "Countries") in "MEInit.xml" file // Insert after this line: <ColorScheme CLSID="{dd2aefff-6bea-44a4-86ac-7222e4cb6720}">USAF Standart</ColorScheme> code: <ColorScheme CLSID="{4D3734D2-1787-40d7-8A8F-D96804EBC386}">Green C-130</ColorScheme> //------------------------------------------------------------------ // Insert following stuff into appropriate place (after last "skin" section) in "C-130.skins" file (LockOn_root\Bazar\World\Shapes) code: skin { value = 0.5; material = {"C-130_okras", "Standart", "C130-green.bmp"}; } //------------------------------------------------------------------ Warning: this is UNOFFICIAL test stuff without any warranty... Suggestion: wait for the patch, maybe ED-developers have spent some spare time even with their new "skin-system"... I don't remember if I followed these steps, anyway I successfully managed to add some more skins to the hornet some time ago ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Thanks! Do you think you could also put up a non modded .skins file?

Cosmonaut Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Looks like you figured it out :thumbup: I should have said that Section 7 of my CDDS tut explains how to add new slots and color schemes.

Disso Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Is this a fictional skin or is it based on something else out there? SU-30MKI F/A-18F ...Beauty, grace, lethality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 It's a real one (VMFA-312 is a USMC unit) and this is one I found on the TwoBob's Decal site. I agree with you =Prophet=, I kinda like the Bug too, and given some of the other sims lack of quality (Janes? I mean come on.....) it'd just be great.

EricJ Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 This is where things start to go wrong... =Prophet=, if you can tell the devs this issue: And possibly report it as a bug? I may have to adjust it, but it's weird how it's turning out, though I may just have to figure out another way of fixing that problem..

EricJ Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 Thanks! if I had known that a mod would be done for CAW, I would have tried to have it included, so I'd say in a week I'd have this one ready.
