Texac Posted May 31, 2023 Author Share Posted May 31, 2023 16 hours ago, VictorDavion said: So i tried opening the files in the normal folder with GIMP and it gives an error even with the BC7 plugin. The only ones that will open and display properly are the PSD and roughmet ones. Am I missing a required plugin? The Normal textures are usually not supposed to be edited, unless you're doing very specific things. I use the NVIDIA Texture Tools Exporter to open or convert into different file formats that can be opened and edited in GIMP, like PNG. https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-texture-tools-exporter - My Skins/Liveries - Improved F-16C Texture Template • Texac on YouTube • Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense cuz those function as I'm used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW is my Callsign. Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Hey Texac! Is it possible for you to provide the Fuel Tanks' PSD files for the template as well instead of just the DDS file? I really want to change something in it while not damaging your improved textures.

Texac Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 Hello @NEW is my Callsign. I lost some of my original template files, specifically the wing tanks. I've restored a bit but the layers are very simple. Both tank templates include a UV layer now though! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NKAPqYqrYeUmhnlTiKMJbX_XW22A9LBB/view?usp=sharing 1 - My Skins/Liveries - Improved F-16C Texture Template • Texac on YouTube • Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Oh wow! I only found out about this thread today, but I can't wait to test them in-game. I always found the default ED F-16C look more like a plastic model than a real airplane. I don't like ED's texture work on the Hornet either, so I have been using user liveries for both exclusively. I'll test yours this afternoon. Thanks for your hard work: the screenshots look absolutely fantastic!

Matching that with new template probably the only thing that could be updated texture-wise Edited August 4, 2023 by Raven 7-1 1 My DCS Liveries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tragikal Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Also I would definitely like to see some updated skins of Wolfthrower's excellent Israeli F-16s, incorporating extended tails for CFT mod, at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If breaking IC causes the server list to not populate, then what's the point of servers that don't require IC check? Furthermore I have many mods that break IC and none of those inhibit the server list from populating. Edited September 5, 2023 by Nealius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EchoOneOne Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) @TexacCockpit looks kinda empty over there, are you planning to make even flat textures for it? Edited September 17, 2023 by EchoOneOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not possible for us. ED needs to spend some time to finish the external cockpit 3d model including textures. Currently, as you can see, this area behind the pilot is empty and there are no texture files defined for it. 1 - My Skins/Liveries - Improved F-16C Texture Template • Texac on YouTube • Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
