reported S-3 Tanker can no longer use custom skins

[roobarbjapan]

As of the latest large update S-3 tanker skins no longer work. The option appears in the drop down menu but if you select it, it is just the default skin. The normal S-3 skins work fine however.

I assume something is not pointing to the correct place in the description file but with all the files being encrypted I don’t know how to find the changes necessary to fix it.
 

Our group would love to have our S-3 tankers back.

Hey there, 

a while ago I created two skin packs for the beautiful new S-3B viking and got a lot of great feedback for it. 

I now noticed that all the skins stopped working for the S-3 Tanker version. They are still listed, but only the default skin with the non-existing modex number 727 shows up. For the normal S-3, all liveries still work. 

Can you guys n' gals confirm this? Is this a bug? Or maybe some file path has changed? I'd really appreciate some help, it would be nice to get those liveries running again, since I put a lot of love and effort in those.

As the creator of two S-3 skin packs, I hope there's a solution for this. I'm taking a look at it right now, so far I have not found one. The S-3 3D model is encrypted, so we cannot create a livery-LUA file the way we used to. It seems that the parts of the 3d model have been renamed, just for the tanker. It's now trial and error for me if I can get it to work again . But maybe someone who knows what's going on can help here. I'm a textures guy, dont know much about thau LUA stuff.
