RedTiger Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) I downloaded this skin: http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&cid=253&lid=1398&ttitle=3GO_Su-27SM_Flanker_Blue_Russian_AF_v1.2#dldetails I cannot get it to work. It doesn't show up on as any of the skins in-game. ModMan (I'm using the latest version, btw) shows it in the graphics.cfg file but not the usual green installed indicator. I found this thread where someone had similar problems with an F-14 skin: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=42604 I have the following present in the graphics.cfg: TextureCollections { highFolder = ".\\Bazar\\TempTextures\\"; common = ".\\Bazar\\World\\Flanker3GO_RusAF_Blue_ThomasDW.cdds"; (no space like "c dds", in the file it looks right) the .cdds file is where it should be. Any guess before I just rip out the skins and put them in temp textures? EDIT: Dumping the extacted bitmaps into temptextures doesn't work. :( 2nd EDIT: Should be 3GO in the title, not 3DO >.< Edited June 27, 2009 by RedTiger
RedTiger Posted July 2, 2009 Author Posted July 2, 2009 BUMP No reply? Has no one tried these skins yet? They're really good, they just don't seem to work. : (

RedTiger Posted July 2, 2009 Author Posted July 2, 2009 Working fine for me Hmm...I'm using Modman 7.1.1.0. This is what it looks like in ModMan when I try to install it: That "State" showing "CFG" is unique among all the other mods. No others have that. Does this mean anything to anyone? :huh:
RedTiger Posted July 2, 2009 Author Posted July 2, 2009 Correction, I tried the MINT version. It does indeed work. I am comparing the two side by side, all aspects that I'm aware of. I see absolutely no reason why the Su-27SM mod does not show up in the sim. None...it installs in the exact same manner as the MINT version. I can see the .cdds file, it shows up in the graphics config. BrumTx, are you sure its working? Can you verify if I'm missing anything?
RedTiger Posted July 2, 2009 Author Posted July 2, 2009 I realize I'm probably talking to myself here, but I just tried all of them...Mint, Worn, Worn out. ALL work...except the Su-27SM one. I'm either missing something or it is simply not set up correctly. All of these install in the exact same manner, everything is there that I know needs to be there. Yet I don't see the SM skin in the sim.
BrumTx Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Looks exactly the same as my Modman and I'm using the same version, I don't know why some are not working correctly, try Pm'ing Thomas EDIT: What countries are you trying to fly with ???

Russia, only one I've tried so far. Hmm...think I should try Ukraine? EDIT: Jeez...there's the problem. I tried Ukraine...the skin replaces Mirgorod. This is double suckage because not only does it not work for the Russian side, it also replaces one of my favorite camo schemes. Maybe I should try to contact Thomas. The mod is flat-out set up incorrectly. BTW, If you know how to fix it, I would appreciate it. Edited July 3, 2009 by RedTiger
BrumTx Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 . Maybe I should try to contact Thomas. The mod is flat-out set up incorrectly. BTW, If you know how to fix it, I would appreciate it. Sorry my Friend I don't know of a fix, looks like Thomas will be getting e -mail lol. Let me know how you get on please Remember the 346 Fire Fighters, Medics & Police who died on 9-11.......
