joey45 Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 When you make a skin you can either A) save it over an excisting slot ie overwriting a previous skin. or B) save it in a new slot. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

VBARhino Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Which program do you use to make these custom skins? Photoshop
joey45 Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 or if you can't afford 600 quid something else.. Like photopaint or GIMP.

CHSubZero Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 ED, could you please release the default blank metallic templates right now? I have a feeling that the release will come soon and so we can begin to create our own paint schemes :megalol: Aviation Livery - Explore Military Aircraft Liveries My Mods: DCS User Files

joey45 Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 I too would like ED to release the Template for the P-51. My biggest concern is to have other online multiplayers see your custom skin. Is that possible? If not, it should. Unfortantaly.... no. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Insanatrix Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) One of the reasons it's unfeasable to have custom skins displayed in multiplayer is simply because of the size of ED's skin files. Usually they are anywhere from 80-130mb. The typical IL-2 skin file is like 2mb maybe. Probably less actually since they were 1024x1024 or 2048x2048 bitmaps I think. Maybe if they could implement some form of p2p file transferring between clients with the multiplayer server acting as a seed host, it might be possible. Also to use it you have to create a new entry in the skin database for each plane for each skin which is more in depth than just dropping it into a folder ala IL-2.

I've never done any skinning, that much is obvious. It seems like making custom skins shared in multiplayer might be more hassle than it is worth. At the same time, why do skins have to be so big? Maybe multiplayer skins could be a special format, with lower res, so that they only mass like 2 MB. Unless you're using external views, except perhaps when you taxi really close to someone, you wouldn't ever be able to tell the difference. Anyway, I see why we don't have shared MP skins- the challenges of any approach seem pretty significant, enough that I'm not surprised ED chose not to pursue MP shared skins. Thanks for the explanation. Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.

MVSokie Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Custom skins in MP is possible, everyone who you want to see it has to install the skin into their own files to see your skin otherwise you see your skin and they see default. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Usually they are anywhere from 80-130mb... Why DO they have to be so big? Rise of Flight skins are 5.3 MB. I set up a mission where my single ship forms with a flight of 4 p-51's. It was a slideshow when 4 planes were in view even though 3 and 4 were quite distant in a loose finger four. This is just unnecessary IMO. Edited May 3, 2012 by Smokin Hole
