Rob Mason Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Hello all I hope your all safe and well, I can never seem to get custom skins to show on either red or blue side in MP when using my Master Modes UK Dedicated server. For instance I downloaded and installed(Saved Games/DCS World Open Beta/Liveries/F-14A 135-GR) a IRIAF F-14A skin to be used in Syrian map based MP mission. In SP the IRIAF skins are shown properly but in MP the F-14A skin seems to default to the standard USN skin(top of the list). This has been an ongoing problem for me for a fair amount of time. Even some standard skins such as the Mig-21bis skin never seems to show anything but the first default grey camo skin(Belarus AF?) yet I programmed them with Syria 1 or 2 skins and again in SP all is fine. I even tried adding them directly into Saved Games/DCS World Open Beta Server /Liveries folder and although I've had a little success with this work around (Argentinian custom M2000C skins worked) most in MP just will not show in MP. Am I missing something? Any help and advice in rectifying this problem would be most appreciated. Thank you Rob "Merlin" Mason. P.S. I am running Aircraft MOD Community A4E/C, Tech Mods, SAM Assets pack, Massun's 92 MOD and SA-300S Pack but I have tried without these mods and still doesn't work. Edited August 17, 2022 by Rob Mason
Bobelz Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) Hey, as far as is know you can't install skins on a server. But you can have them installed on your local Pc Saved Games/DCS World Open Beta/Liveries/... and comment out or delete the countries line inside the description.lua at the bottom. Then you can select the skin in MP too for every country. But other player can't see them if they don't have the skin installed too. So all need to have the same skin localy installed to see each other with the correct skin in MP. If others don't have it installed they will see the default skin because skins are loaded from clients local texture data and not streamed from server. If the countries line is not commented out like in the picture below (--countries = {"FRA"} ) in this example for a mirage 2000 skin, you could only select the skin if the plane is set to france in the mission editor. Hope that helps Edited August 18, 2022 by Bobelz 1 1
