Yeah sure no problems. I have my squad skin showing up very nicely. Just check your description.lua entries and your textures should be in dds format. Create a folder for the skin under /bazar/liveries/Su-25T and put the textures there.

Yes there in there, but there not showing up in the editor, or the pre flight mission check.

 

they are showing up properly in the DCS World/bazar/liveries/SU25T

 

also I tried to down load skins from FC2 http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=89077 never mind IE had a brain fart.

 

wheres this discription.lua at?

 

in the readme says nothing about it, only change config.lua

In DCS world forget about config.lua, that no longer applies for skins unless you're a masochist ;)

 

You have to create a description.lua file and modify it to reflect the textures you're putting and it should be in the texture folder of your skin.

 

The easiest way to create a description.lua file is to copy one from an existing su25T skin folder and modify it.

 

Also as I mentioned, the folder name that you'll create under /.../bazar/liveries/SU25T is very important because that's going to be your skin name in the mission editor when you select one.

 

In that folder the description.lua file will identify the where your skins will go on the 3d model.

yes each folder has it's own discription.lua; this was made for world by some one at lockonfiles downloads.

So I should take out the script for the graphic lua? and see if that works?

 

there is no SU25T in this directory J:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Scripts\Aircrafts; only A10c, KA-50, and P51D

Wrong place.. try here

<whereeveryouputthedamnthing>\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar\Liveries\su-25t

[speckfire]

Ok you seem to be confused. There is no need for a graphic.lua or a config.lua to add a skin in DCS world. Ignore all installation instructions of previous game versions.

 

Remember your skins need to be in a dds format.

 

Here is my setup

 

Texture location

 

F:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar\Liveries\su-25t\159th Splinter camo W

 

Inside the "159th Splinter camo W" directory you have the following files.

 

 

 

Then you edit the description.lua

 

 

livery = {

{"fuz-center", 0, "SU39-PAINT1-DEF-159.DDS", false},

{"wings", 0, "SU39-PAINT2-DEF-159.DDS", false},

{"SU39-PAINT2bis-DEF-01", 0, "SU39-PAINT2bis-DEF-159.DDS", false},

{"fuz-tail & fin", 0, "SU39-PAINT3-DEF-159.DDS", false},

{"tail & stab", 0, "SU39-PAINT4-DEF-159.DDS", false},

{"brake-L", 0, "SU39-PAINT5-L-DEF-159.DDS", false},

{"brake-R", 0, "SU39-PAINT5-R-DEF-159.DDS", false},

{"fuz-nose-steel", 0, "SU39-PAINT6-DEF-159.DDS", false},

{"SU-39-PILON", 0, "SU39-PILON-PAINT-DEF-159.DDS", false},

{"PILON_2_Su-39", 0, "SU39-PILON-2-PAINT-DEF-159.DDS", false},

{"numbers", 0, "rus-code-numbers-ver1-B-w-W.TGA", true},

{"PylonsSu-25T1", 0, "Su-25TPylon-DEF-159.DDS", false},

{"pylon25lateral", 0, "Lateral25TPylon.bmp", true},

}

name = "159th GAR SC W"

countries = {

"RUS",

}

 

 

False at the end of each line means your texture is in the directory that you created and not in the game's zip texture files under \Bazar\world\...

 

The last 2 lines are texture name that will appear in the editor and what country it belongs to.

 

You should see your skin in the game

 

[71st_Mastiff]

ah, said the light when it came on!

[71st_Mastiff]

dang that didnt work there now orange planes. lol

[71st_Mastiff]

and this is strange, I tried to get those skins to work to only now I have no textures in the brieffing map on commandbunker strike missions.

 

can some one rar that up so I can have that info back?

[speckfire]

put up your discription.lua and the corresponding texture names along the path to the texture directory and let's have a looksie

[71st_Mastiff]

also note the only skins that show up and work are the 1st 2, default ones. af standard and af standard1

 

 

livery = {

{"fuz-center", 0, "SU39-PAINT1-COLT11", false},

{"wings", 0, "SU39-PAINT2-COLT11", false},

{"SU39-PAINT2bis-DEF-01", 0, "SU39-PAINT2bis-COLT11", false},

{"fuz-tail & fin", 0, "SU39-PAINT3-COLT11", false},

{"tail & stab", 0, "SU39-PAINT4-COLT11", false},

{"brake-L", 0, "SU39-PAINT5-L-COLT11", false},

{"brake-R", 0, "SU39-PAINT5-R-COLT11", false},

{"fuz-nose-steel", 0, "SU39-PAINT6-COLT11", false},

{"SU-39-PILON", 0, "SU39-PILON-PAINT-COLT11", false},

{"PILON_2_Su-39", 0, "SU39-PILON-2-PAINT-DEF-01", false},

{"numbers", 0, "empty", true},

{"PylonsSu-25T1", 0, "Su-25TPylon", false},

{"pylon25lateral", 0, "Lateral25TPylon", true},

}

name = "CAW Su-25T Grippen v1 by Colt40Five"

countries = {

"RUS",

}

[joey45]

Are the texture names the exact same?

 

EDIT: post what's in the folder.

Hi, I have made a little video from the CAW Skin pack for DCS World

 

http://youtu.be/FqwrlPxlEqc

I have a question!

 

How can I set a skin for a plane like the Su-27, the description file's is almost empty

 

livery = {

}

name = "af standard early"

id = 0

countries = {

"RUS",

}

 

 

I have tryed something like this

 

 

livery = {

{"su-27-skin-l.bmp", 0, "su-27-skin-l.bmp", false},

{"su-27-skin-r.bmp", 0, "su-27-skin-r.bmp", false},

}

name = "Test"

 

countries = {

"RUS",

}

 

But this only do lowres texture

 

ps: texture files are su-27-skin-l.bmp.dds (like some of them I have found in DCS World\Bazar\World\textures\WorldTexturesBMP.zip )

 

pps: sorry for my english

[speckfire]

OK I see what Mastiff was doing. He's installing the CAW skin pack from lockonfiles. I don't really like the method used to edit graphic config files in order to install skins. It leads to issues like mastiff is having just to save some disk space, but that's my opinion. Good luck!

The method that Speckfire uses works. I have installed the original and a lot of new skins into "World" and into A-10C standalone and can see and use all of them. If you are not seeing all of the textures in a mission, try using Mission Editor to reset the textures to the missions.

[Michelange]

Ok, this works for the plane and how can we add the PTB-800 Skin if there is one ?
