Su-25T Fictional Black Skin

[Ezor]

Good job but one question, what about playing with this skin in multiplayer mode ?

 

Is there no trouble if other player don't have the skin installed ?

Well I am not really the one to ask about multiplayer stuff, but since the meinit.xml is being "pushed" to clients by the server in V1.1, there should be no problem in terms of you as client having the new skin installed - it just wont be an option for multiplayer unless the server machine has the skin-mod installed as well.

 

In the reversed situation - i.e. where the client hasnt got the skin mod installed but the server has - there could be a slight problem, but it would only be a case of the Su-25T appearing "naked"(untextured) on client machine if the extra colourscheme is selected via the server´s meinit(because client machine dosnt have the necessary associated files installed).

Goooood !

Anyway to know how do you do to create new CDDS file ? (understand that i want to create my own skin pack in a new CDDS !)

[Chizh]

For full repainting the Su-25T you must have the Su-25T_skin_template.rar with 14 files (see the files page on the our site).

PTB-800-PAINT.psd

SU39-PAINT1-DEF-01.psd

SU39-PAINT2bis-DEF-01.psd

SU39-PAINT2-DEF-01.psd

SU39-PAINT3-DEF-01.psd

SU39-PAINT4-DEF-01.psd

SU39-PAINT5-L-DEF-01.psd

SU39-PAINT5-R-DEF-01.psd

SU39-PAINT6-DEF-01.psd

SU39-PAINT7-DEF-01.PSD

SU39-PAINT8-DEF-01.PSD

SU39-PILON-2-PAINT-DEF-01.psd

SU39-PILON-PAINT-DEF-01.psd

Su-25TPylon.psd

 

Pilon files are SU39-PILON-2-PAINT-DEF-01; SU39-PILON-PAINT-DEF-01; and special pylon for AKU-58 launcher - Su-25TPylon-DEF-01

 

After painting you must edit the next text *.skins files in the shapes folder:

PTB-800.skins

SU-25T.skins

SU-25T-FONAR.skins

SU-25T-NOSE.skins

SU-25T-TAIL.skins

SU-25T-WING-L.skins

SU-25T-WING-R.skins

 

There are example from SU-25T.skins for my new black skin:

 

	{
	value = 0.5;
	material = {"fuz-center", "standart", "SU39-PAINT1-DEF-06.BMP"};
	material = {"wings", "standart", "SU39-PAINT2-DEF-06.BMP"};
	material = {"SU39-PAINT2bis-DEF-01", "standart", "SU39-PAINT2bis-DEF-06.BMP"};
	material = {"fuz-tail & fin", "standart", "SU39-PAINT3-DEF-06.BMP"};
	material = {"tail & stab", "standart", "SU39-PAINT4-DEF-06.BMP"};
	material = {"brake-L", "standart", "SU39-PAINT5-L-DEF-06.BMP"};
	material = {"brake-R", "standart", "SU39-PAINT5-R-DEF-06.BMP"};
	material = {"fuz-nose-steel", "standart", "SU39-PAINT6-DEF-06.BMP"};
	material = {"SU-39-PILON", "standart", "SU39-PILON-PAINT-DEF-06.BMP"};
	material = {"PILON_2_Su-39", "standart", "SU39-PILON-2-PAINT-DEF-06.BMP"};
	material = {"numbers", "standart", "rus-code-numbers-ver1-R-w-W.TGA"};
	material = {"PylonsSu-25T1", "standart", "Su-25TPylon-DEF-06.bmp"};
	material = {"pylon25lateral", "standart", "Lateral25TPylon.bmp"};
}

 

You can create new group at the end of each *.skins file with any next value number (0.6; 0.7 etc.) after default.

Fictional Black

 

I loaded the skin manualy following the read me file.

It is very nice.

However I have a problem when I start FC with Loman 4.3beta

it repairs the Graphics config file line that contains the cdds file location

someone know how I can fix this so I can launch with Loman ?

and still retain the fictional black skin ?

Mirrored the new JJ installer at http://WWW.LOCKONSKINS.CO.UK

[504MrWolf]

Chizh can this process be used on all the the airframes in Lockon ?

 

I would like to have all my squadron have their own personalized skins but its not possible unless i can add brand new skins.

[Chizh]

Chizh can this process be used on all the the airframes in Lockon ?

Nope. You can add new skins only for new *.LOM models only. It is Su-25T, F/A-18, C-130.

[CiniKo]

Thxs...Wolfe..but I just had used the jj alpha installer but nothing...the blackskin do not appears in payload!

 

CiniKo

[504MrWolf]

i havent tried it yet but took JJ's word that it worked, maybe this needs testing on different versions of Lockon.

 

Are you using the CD 1.1 , web 1.1 or Lockon Gold ?

 

I will install it now to test, make sure you allways back up the files stated at the install.

[504MrWolf]

Ok it doesnt work for me either.

 

Im using the Web 1.1 and Original Lockon 1.0 CD

 

Chizh i demand that you make the Su-25 a LOM model NOW !! ;)

 

But seriously would that be to hard ? Its the only plane i fly :D

Hello CiniKo,

 

It sounds like you have stated an incorrect installation path in the installer window. Use the installer´s browse function to make sure that the path to your lock-on root folder is correct.

 

The path being displayed in the installer is just a default one - the installer does not automatically find the right one on your machine.

 

Cheers,

- JJ.

Please check above post :)

 

Im using the Web 1.1 and Original Lockon 1.0 CD

 

So am I - and it works fine for me :) . Besides, the file structure is the same in V1.1 regadless of whether you have the web add-on or the "Lock-on Gold" CD version.

 

Cheers,

- JJ.

To All

 

I found out some mistake in the name of textures. It caused to the wrong painting of Su-25TM.

 

Right now I placed in the first two posts new RAR files with fixed that mistake. Please reload those files.

 

To Alfa

Please make a new installer with recent files.

[Atomic978]

Just incase anybody has not figured this out yet...

 

If you downloaded Alfas installer and have Lock On Gold make sure that you change the directory in the installer to example "c\programfiles\ubisoft\eagledynamics\lockon" in order to get the skin istalled right.

 

Do not try to install it in the lockon 1.1 folder as this is not the root folder for the game in the Lock On Gold.

 

Thanks for the installer Alfa worked great for me after i changed the path to the root folder.

[Guest ThomasDWeiss]

The skins are OK

 

 

the problem I found is with the Su-25TM skin - it uses the same black body.
