Question about removing skin slots

[SuperKungFu]

I was just testing a few things with the skins and decided to remove all the F-15 skin slots except for the 32nd, 58th, and 59th (basically i left the first 3 skins since the rest are just basically the same except for the tail). By doing this, how many of the stock missions/campaign would this screw up. Does anyone know if the missions and campaign only stick to the first 3 skins or does it cover the 27th, 71th...54th skin.

It depends on wich skins are assigned to any specific mission, there not randomely selected if I recall correctly.

I'll take a guess here and say you shouldn't have a problem.

 

When I was learning how to create slots I screwed things up pretty bad and the slot I was messing with somehow changed to an Israeli Eagle skin because my entries in the .xml file were wrong, so if you mean by "screwed up" the mission wont work then I think they will work but some skins might be a little odd. Have you tried it yet?? If the mission loads then it should work but you could always change the F15 skins in the mission or campaign to what ever F15 skins you have left before you start to play them and that should solve any problems you may have.

 

I would alway suggest though that you not remove the slots but rather change the Name and add your own Skin to any slot you wont be using. That way most of the work is done for you and anyone else, online , using the offending skin would then have the new skin you replaced it with.

 

Sections 5 and 6 in my tut cover this.

cheers thanks so much. Yea a couple test runs on the F-15 mission and campaign only shows it uses the #1 skin, or #3 skin, i haven't seen it extend past that. But yea the reason i deleted it because then i would have to worry about the tails matching up to the proper body skins so i figured just to delete all of them except the top 3. Especially after walmis mod added a lot more skins into the mix.

Ah good point, I didn't have this problem with the skins for Walmis's F15 that I messed with. It can be a real pain when skins share textures and even worse when you cant adjust the slots like in the A10.. arrgg
