World BS english RICARDO HD Blue pit

[luckybob9]

I can look tomorrow but the other aircrafts have that texture on one outside files. I'm basing my judgement on that

[Ebs]

May I?... ;)

 

 

The files you need are in Bazar/World/Textures/ka-50_general.zip

 

and it's ka-50-c_p1.bmp.dds and ka-50-c_p2.bmp.dds

 

For the back panels of every ka-50 livery.

 

Now the bad part is that we also need an additional file from each of the liveries that you want to change to blue. This file varies a little bit by name but a few of the liveries have the same file. e.g. \Bazar\Liveries\ka-50\Russia Worn Black\ka-50-paint1-def-03.bmp that contains the majority of the external cockpit view. (the file also contains the texture for the belly of the chopper)

 

So, just to repeat

ka-50-c_p1.bmp.dds and ka-50-c_p2.bmp.dds for back panel external view

\Bazar\Liveries\ka-50\Russia Worn Black\ka-50-paint1-def-03.bmp for each livery.

Of course you may. But I don't know which part of my reply is wrong. ;)

 

Actually, this was simplier in earlier versons of Black Shark. Now, while ED keeps some part of interior view placed in proper folder, they moved most important part of it to liveries folder. Please! Why? Why?! So I've never thought a blue view from outside because of "ka-50-paint1-def-03.bmp".

 

Sometimes I really can't understand texturing logic of ED...

[Ebs]

Sorry dev, checked this thread last night and again in the morning and missed yours and skulls posts! Nothing is wrong in your post, I just narrowed it down to those three files.

 

I'm also a bit frustrated with how ED chose to map the textures. One part that pissed me off constantly in my own True Blue pit was the overhead panel and how it's mapped to a part of the footwell. I see Ricardo also has this in his new pit.

 

Ricardo, I'm assuming you're basing your new pit on the photos from englishrussia?

One detail I liked about those pit pictures is that the bottom half of each wall is painted black. I tried to do this myself with my recolour...I even started adding rivets before I got bored! :)

 

 

[Devrim]

OK.

...I'm also a bit frustrated with how ED chose to map the textures...

I agree with you...

[RICARDO]

Good evening,

having the blue outside view seems a bit complicated...so i think that i will not take care of that part.

Was there a post from somebody proposing his psd russian files for types?

Hello,

Great work has been done on adaptation of my pits to BS2 and world.

Thank's to devrim that make that search in the dark textures to find what was where...:doh:

Colorising is a quick solution if you don't have the psd files but then you get pixelisation on shadows, and unfortunatly you loose lot of quality.

Last week, because it was hollyday and i was home, i decided to go back to mapping.

And, i have the psd files :smartass: so theses new pits use new original blue texture from blue metal painted.

I was realy frustrated on the first version to have thoses big areas on sides of pit that where not modelised on ED pits.

The new pit has great zones to work on and with the references given from Ebs russian site i could recreate these areas.

I still keep some very light shadows on swiches and jauges because even on shadow an object needs it's own shadow to stick it on surfaces.

and i think that the pit shadows are too basic in DSC.

Of course it's english pits. :music_whistling: sorry for our russian friends.

That psd file would be able to have Zmey.
