Where is this part of skin?

[CHSubZero]

Hi

 

My Heliswiss skin (Bell 204) is almost finished.

Maybe someone can help me find the skin part marked in the red circle.

In which file is this part and where can I find this part in the skin file?

 

 

Thanks for the help

Hey, this one!

 

File is simply called uh1.psd, from the templates.

Hi, nice work.

 

Pay attention when drawing that you get straight lines on the model in DCS.

Nice skin of Air Zermatt! When will you release your skin?

 

Thanks for the tip with the straight line.

Where's this part of the skin?

 

 

What the am I doing wrong here?

 

 

 

The description is from an excising LUA. Only the interior textures load.

I'm thinking file names are the problem here but I have changed it to many different options like "-" or "_" between names.

 

Would appreciate some help.

Hello, a screenshot of your description.lua would be helpfull.

 

Try to remove the space between the comma and "false" or "true".

The files should be named "filename.bmp.dds" and not just "filename.dds"...

Hi !

 

I in the template I don't find the part of skin corresponding to "uh1_cover.bmp.dds".

 

I can see you change it's color on your skin, how you do it ?

Try "filename.dds" no need to put ".bmp.dds"

1) Make a copy of the file "...\Bazar\Liveries\uh-1h\USA UN\uh1-UN_cover.bmp.dds"

2) Open this file with Photoshop

3) Add a new layer above the existing layer

4) Fill in your target color onto the whole layer

5) Double click on the layer and set the fill method to "Multiply" (or something else - my PS is German)

Thank you very much ! :clap:

Now what did I do wrong...

 

 

CHSubZero, U were right, thanks

that means its not reading a texture for some reason, that is called the missing texture.... texture. so you have possibly renamed that file incorrectly, or put it in wrong location.

 

regards naming conventions ive looked at the description info and its strangely pointing to xxxx.bmp files being the extention. thats kinda sloppy. and using bmp in the first place is well..... not good.

It seems that you have deactivatet a layer in your drawing software. Also use DXT1 without Alpha for saving.

Got it sorted thanks.

DXT1? Will this be a smaller file? I have DXT5 atm.

[upuaut]

DXT1 ist without an alpha-channel, or 1 bit alpha-channel. DXT5 is with interpolated alpha-channel for smoth edges.

It is possible that DXT5 is a bigger file, because of more information are packed into the file.

I had that with my skins..

 

Resave it cos something might of gone wrong

 

The skids are on the same PSD as the body so not sure why it happened.
