Wrench Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Hey skinners. I've been making liveries for a while now, and I haven't been able to confirm if it's possible to add a decal other than bort numbers. What I'd like is to have pilot's names overlaid as a decal so I don't have to deal with the file size of a full .dds file for each of them. I've tried stuff like {"f18c1", 0, "F18C_1_DIFF", false}; {"f18c1", DECAL ,"Wrench Decal",true}; but to no avail. Has anyone gotten this working? Carrier Script.
Shahdoh Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Couple things. 1st, I do not think you can just add the DECAL type to anything, that it has to be setup in the .EDM to allow it (really not sure on this point though). Second, (If you CAN assign the decal to any part) that last statement should be false if it is not a default file for that aircraft. Also, did you provided the file "Wrench Decal.dds" (or equivalent compatible file type) in with the livery directory?
Wrench Posted August 7, 2020 Author Posted August 7, 2020 I forgot to set the last argument to false in the example, but I have tried it that way in the past. I've also tried {"f18c1", 3,"Wrench Decal",false}; but to no avail. Carrier Script.
Shahdoh Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Yeah, decals are more than just a slap on thing. They are internally coded to read a parameter provided by the user in the Mission editor when the aircraft is setup. They have specific places on the aircraft that they are setup for and read a specific .DDS file that has ALL of the possible options of the parameter available. Usually the numbers and possibly letters so that they can be displayed as provided. You could redo the file, but are still restricted to the location and space available for that decal location.
