HUEY PORT SIDE DOOR GUNNER SKIN FIX

[DishDoggie]

PROBLEM: I noticed the Port side Door Gunner patch file would not load on my custom skin so I started thinking and working on WHY? All of the in game default skins with different patch skins would still load the ARMY patch skin on the Port Side Door Gunner but not the Starboard Side Door Gunner. So I thought it is a Bug. Kind of but not really You can fix this problem.

Learning As I Go THIS IS NOT A BUG kind of... It has a FIX

I fixed this problem by adding this line in the Description.lua file. So if you ever make a pilot_uh1_patch_1_cavalery.dds (Default File Name) File with New Patches for the Crew Members (Door Gunners) You will need to add 2 lines to the Description.lua file to make them show up.

The 1st Line will be for just the front seat Ai Skins It is the one in the Default lua file we all use now   

{"pilot_UH1_patch", 0, "pilot_uh1_patch_255.dds",false}; "This is your Patch.dds file"

Understanding the Red file name is your custom named Patch.dds file. 

To Make the PORT DOOR GUNNERS load you have to add this line to the Description.lua file as well.

(it will load the correct parts to each Door Gunner) 

{"gunner_UH1_patch", 0,    "pilot_uh1_patch_255.dds", false}; "This is NOT a 2nd dds File it is just a line of code that must go with the Patch.dds file"

This is why I thought it was a bug. But it is the Lack of this forgotten line that makes one Gunner have the Custom skin and the PORT SIDE DOOR GUNNER to have the Game Default skin load up because it is listed in the Skin information for the 3D model Programing you can find using the Model Viewer to load the Gunner model and then print out the Lua file for it.

As you can see in the above Picture My Port Side and the Starboard Side Door Gunner Custom Patch graphics will load onto the AI 3D body now.
