NoGoodNews Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Hello. I downloaded your skin pack (thank you very much for the superb work) but I'm having issues with some of the liveries. All the liveries marked with an asterisk (i understand those are the No-Formation lights versions) are rendered with strange square metal patchworks. I would like to know if I'm doing somenthing wrong or if nullthere is something I'm missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those squares means "missing texture" ... maybe you have renamed the skin folders? To save space some skin makers release packs of liveries, where they share some common textures between them ... if you rename the folders then the liveries can't find the shared textures.

crazyeddie Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Help me out here guys, I have only just got around to this VSN Mod and I am looking to do a few more liveries: I can see the skins are in dds format but none of the software that I use can open them, well that's not quite true, they do open but all I can see is a single layer of what seems to be panel lines, there are no other textures or any indications of other layers present. I have tried everything - DXT, Gimp, PaintNet - nothing is working. What's the magic software needed for this Mod, its beaten me. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngleOff66 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Urbi's skin file has a template. Perhaps that will help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEBF109 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Or try using an online converter to change it to a format that you can edit and make the skins you want and turn it back to dds when done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyeddie Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Perhaps I didnt explain it all that well. The skins are in dds format, and they are large size skins so should be showing all the detail when you open them. BUT, when I open them in any of the software systems I have that normally open dds format files all I see is one single layer of what appears to be panel lines. I have tried DXT - the file wont open, Paintnet - all that shows is that single layer, PhotoImpact - they wont open, Gimp - they wont open. They appear to be normal dds files so its got me stumped, one of the above systems has always worked in the past. Last resort will be the Discord, I avoid that site as much as I can, its like trying to find a needle in a haystack on there, VERY disorganised and downright weird in places.

Eddie, I had the same thing happen to me when I first tried to open the .dds files. Not sure what the problem is with either the files or the programs (I used the same ones you did). While looking through the other files I found the .psd templates and I am sure you will be happier using those for doing your skins. All the layers are separated and will save you some effort on recreating them. The bad news is I am at work and do not have access to the zip file I got them from. They are either in the updated F-4B files from VSN or in Urbi's additional livery files. Should be a link somewhere in the posts above to both. seabat PS: Just remembered there is also the VSN flyable aircraft mod topic. May want to look in that for the templates.

crazyeddie Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Seabat and Urbi - Many thanks guys, I had downloaded the psd files but had not tried them out thoroughly using PaintNet. I have done that now and worked out how to make best use of them, so I'm well on my way to a working solution. I can now isolate the bits of skin I want and convert that to bmp which is my preferred working format, then convert them back to dds for the game. This is the first time I have ever been stumped by a texture format ... this Mod is quite unusual in that respect. Thanks for your replies, they prompted me to look at the problem from a slightly different angle and a solution was found. I like a challenge ... it beats struggling to put my socks on first thing in the morning which is my normal daily challenge !!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie122sq Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 hace 22 horas, Rudel_chw dijo: Beautiful skins, are they fictional or historical? .. please share them if you can The first one is historical 100% and the others 2 are the skins in the RF-4C IRL. The F-4C was in the Torrrejón de Ardoz AB in the "Ala 12" (Wing 12) in 2 fighters squadrons, 121 and 122 until their replacement by F/A-18. A third squadron, the 123, was specialized in Recon with the RF-4C (With a refueling probe attached) until their retirement in 2002. When I finish fixing and adding some details and "dirty" them a bit, I'll upload them. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
