SuperKungFu Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Hey guys, I was wondering if I could get some help reworking some textures for the recent Su-27 mod by 3GO. The 3GO group has already done enough so I hope the community can show some support since my photoshop skills are lousy. Anyway this is what I’ve been thinking: 1.) Some of you guys noticed that in some angles the numbers and star on the plane seem to fade. Like this: And that’s because if you look at the alpha channels for the two files associated with the numbering files: Su-27_NOMERA.tga SU-27-NOMERA-RED.tga (which can be found in the 3GO-su27-tga.cdds file in Bazar\World folder, extract using modman) It’s not very clean, if a person can clean this up to look something like this: (picture taken from Deadman’s nomera file, that would look great on this Su-27) 2.) Afterburners texture I do admit the afterburner textures could be improved. If you used modman and extract these files within 3GO-Su-27.cdds: Su-27-Engine2.bmp Su-27-Engine21.bmp Su-27-Engine23.bmp … Su-27-Engine26.bmp You can see how it transitions, but during the mod work you only need the first file: Su-27-engine2.bmp since it’s the original state and gradually add more afterburner textures. I was hoping it can reflect something that looks like this: Or this from an old mod 3.) And finally a small personal request from me, the Old Su-27 Russian Knights skin The original skin made by EricJ for the old Su-27 can be found on lockonfiles http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&cid=198&lid=1164&ttitle=Su-27_Russian_Knights_Early#dldetails Hopefully some photoshop master can accept these request. Cheers! 2 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
X-man Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 I second SKF's request! Someone please do it! :) 64th Aggressor Squadron Discord: 64th Aggressor Squadron TS: 135.181.115.54
shaggy Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Well you have a perfect alpha layer there, why not use that? and modifying the afterburner isent a big problem. My biggest Request is an Paintkit with British Lettering! not Chinese.

shaggy Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Just Remade the Paintkit with English lettering now, i als got rid of some layers that wasn't used and structured it a bit better. SKF your skin will come shortly......

Vekkinho Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 SKF I support your request completely, I also noticed frayed egdes of numbers with new Su-27 model and it doesn't bother me that much but if it can be fixed or replaced with Deadman's Hi-Res nomera it would be great! Shaggy, that's fast! I really like that "old Knights skin" you made! Now, it'd be great to have "old Knights" skin in the drop down skin list without replacing existing "New Knights" skin! I know it has something to do with editing MEInit.xml but I'm not that good to try it myself, A brief explanation on how to would be great! I like Afterburner color transition thru stages, it changes color from orange to blue unlike other burners that remain orange. Also, if there's a possibility to further improve Color transition it'd be a great thing! 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Deadman Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 The Problem with the Tgs number Nomer is cause by compresing it in to CDDS format. The problem with the Number is easily solved. Buy using My Nomera upgrade that is on Lockon files Just rename the Nomera file to SU-27-NOMERA.TGAand the Nomers red file to SU-27-NOMERA-RED.TGA. these can be installed in to the 3GO-su27-tga.cdds or temp textures forlder 1 https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

SuperKungFu Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 I manually installed Shaggy's modman package because I was a bit afraid that the meinit would replace rather than add the line necessary for the skin to show up. I was wondering if you could update this package a little and make the Russian Knight old style skin reflect the same as the original Russian Knights skin where the number is on the tail rather than the nose.
