TimberWolf5871 Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 First of all, this is not about the Hind or it's skins. I only put this here becauseit wouldn't let me select the module I wanted, My apologies. Now the problem. I downloaded the template for the F-15C from the official download on the site. Using a tutorial from youtube made by the Grim Reapers, I was able to figure out most of how to make changes (fuselage color, adding images, etc.), Now I want to see what it looks like, but I can't find the F-15 file location. The video's example was an FA-18, but the F-15 file wasn't in the same folder he used. So where and how do I make this usable?
Rudel_chw Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 The F-15 liveries should go on the "/saved games/dcs/liveries/F-15C" folder For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
TimberWolf5871 Posted September 26, 2021 Author Posted September 26, 2021 Logically, yes. Yet it's not showing up. I even downloaded a free livery and followed the instructions to instal that and that's not showing either. Thus my confuzzing.
razo+r Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Go to \DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\Liveries\F-15C (not saved games) and create a new folder. Put your files in the fresh folder. Now you have two options. Either look at the skin by entering DCS, mission editor and then look at the F-15 or Open the model viewer 2 in the bin folder, open the F-15C.edm, press ctrl+L (I think it's that, livery tool) browse the F-15C, then click on your livery and press load livery.
TimberWolf5871 Posted September 26, 2021 Author Posted September 26, 2021 Okay now it's showing as a green digital camo. That's nowhere near what I even thought of doing. I'm confused.
razo+r Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Green camo means it doesn't find the textures. Either you dropped them somewhere wrong or your description.lua is incorrect.
TimberWolf5871 Posted September 26, 2021 Author Posted September 26, 2021 I have no idea how to fix the description thingy. The tutorial wasn't specific.
razo+r Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 Well, open it and making sure that the names in the lua file and the textures match. That's a good start.
TimberWolf5871 Posted September 26, 2021 Author Posted September 26, 2021 I mean this. Because I can't delete comments...
razo+r Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 You should open .lua files with notepad++ or similar. Using the normal notepad can possibly cause issues. And for skins you should export them as .dds files (compression DXT5)
TimberWolf5871 Posted September 26, 2021 Author Posted September 26, 2021 Tried both of those things. No effect.
TimberWolf5871 Posted September 26, 2021 Author Posted September 26, 2021 So the point is now moot. I found a skin that someone else already did. That's what I get for trying to be original.
