Author	Topic: Lets See Some Skin!
Maaco Pilot	posted 05-19- 03:39 PM Now that I know how to change skins, I want to grab all of them I can. I have a few from FShanger, and Paintaholics, (Nice ) But is there somewhere I can get a bunch more? Thanks, ~Maaco~ IP: Logged

Jerry Pilot	posted 05-19- 05:42 PM If you are going to collect a lot of skins you should get Spyder's Chameleon. It makes swapping skins a lot easier. IP: Logged
ReaperMan Pilot	posted 05-19- 06:53 PM Yeah, show us some skin already! My personal favorites are mostly by Yardstick, who does wonderful skins. They can be found at FSHANGAR and I think there may also be a few exclusives at BCATP (once Werner gets it back up). Other than that, Paintaholics and the War Paint Factory, and I think ya got it covered. ------------------ -=TheReaper=- IP: Logged
Maaco Pilot	posted 05-20- 11:34 PM For some reason, most of the original aircraft do not show up in my aircraft dir. P51, P38, etc. They work in the game so where are they in the directory? ~Maaco~ IP: Logged
Jerry Pilot	posted 05-20- 11:51 PM Maaco, The original planes are all .par file planes and don't come with built in directories. You have to make them yourself to have a place to store new textures. We should have mentioned this, but for me it was over a year ago that I had to build them and I forgot. Sorry. The user built planes, even the ones now in par files, were originally downloaded as add-ons and came with directory folders. P.S. When you use Chameleon it will build you a texture folder for each plane if you haven't already. But I suggest you start slowly with home built directories and manually move skins in and out for awhile. It will make using Chameleon easier to understand. IP: Logged

Maaco Pilot	posted 05-22- 09:02 AM Now that I know, I made the folders and it didn't work. Still has the same skin. I guess I don't understand how to edit par files. Like I said, I made the (media/aircraft/P51d/textures)folder and placed the tiff files there and no worky. Now what? ~Maaco~ IP: Logged
slk unregistered	posted 05-22- 09:28 AM I had this same problem with the "Par Planes" But you just hang on there girl someone'll be along right directly to untie ya!!! Psi IP: Logged
Jerry Pilot	posted 05-22- 10:45 AM Maaco, How many tif files did you place in the "textures" folder? You can only place one skin (usually one or two tifs.) in the folder and store your others elsewhere. Other than that I don't know what the problem might be. Have you tried other planes? Do any of them work? IP: Logged
Maaco Pilot	posted 05-22- 11:26 AM Yes, They all work for the planes I made folders for. (The user-made planes) Only the par file planes don't work. I just placed one set of tiff files in the above referenced file that I created. I really want to change the P51d, and P38, skins. I have to be doing something wrong. ~Maaco~ [This message has been edited by Maaco (edited 05-22-2000).] IP: Logged
slk unregistered	posted 05-22- 12:19 PM Just went to try it again just to make sure that I wasn't a dumb-ass. Well I guess I am cause I'm still not getting new flesh on the par A/C. I wonder if something needs to be specified in those files, hmmm... Psi IP: Logged
slk unregistered	posted 05-22- 01:00 PM Maaco, I just ran across some real cool skin, (not what your thinkin) go to "Downloads" and get some of those neat hides that pachy has on his site. looks like he did a real good job on them. everything from Spanish AF, USAAF, British, and French. (Mmmmm "French" lights a smoke) Psi IP: Logged
Maaco Pilot	posted 05-22- 03:06 PM More like what you were thinking slk. Ill check them out now, Thanks. I need to find out how to use them. ~Maaco~ IP: Logged
Jeeves Pilot	posted 05-22- 03:11 PM Well-- the names for the tifs are very specific for the planes. Unfortunately, there are some skin makers out there who don't always know about or follow those names. If you have Chameleon, go to Help and under Supported Planes- there is a list of all the planes that can be used in Chameleon. If you hold your mouse pointer over the plane names, you will see what the tifs should be named-- someone just helped me out with this for the I16 skin I just got...the skins were named I16wings.tif and I16fuse.tif- but to get it to show up in the game, I had to change the names to just wings.tif and fuse.tif. If that doesn't work-- when I get home, I can tell you what the 38 and 51 tif names should be in the game-- or someone else can beat me to it ------------------ Brought to you by the campaign for a better Dauntless!

mposis Pilot	posted 05-22- 03:14 PM Maaco, Delete the texture cache files in the "Fighter Squadron\media" directory before starting SDOE and see what happens. ------------------ IP: Logged
slk unregistered	posted 05-22- 05:03 PM Mposis, Well that didn't work and I've tried about everything I can think of. I got the p38j skin to change but I'm still dead in the water with the p51d. And if any plane could use new window dressings (lights a smoke) its that one. Any other suggestions, like I said I tried about everything I could, from Spyders Chameleon(tm) to transfering the tif to textures and what you suggested with the texture cache. help... Psi IP: Logged
mposis Pilot	posted 05-22- 08:08 PM What is the name of the tif file in the "Fighter Squadron\media\aircraft\p51d\textures" directory? The tif file name should be p51d.tif [This message has been edited by mposis (edited 05-22-2000).] IP: Logged
slk unregistered	posted 05-22- 10:12 PM Mposis, Something beddy beddy bad happened to me when I deleted the tex cache. I tried to play FS and it said "Please insert FS CD" don't know what happened but I had to reinstall FS over the top and reinstall the crack before it would work again. I think that when I did that some of the exe files were corrupted. Really pissed me off though, not at you, well ok I was but I'm not now. Hey shit happens on FS that no one has the answer for, not yer fault. Everything peachy again, but I give up on the skins for the p51. Thanks for your input, let me know if you figure it out... Psi Ummm it is p51d.tif [This message has been edited by slk (edited 05-22-2000).] IP: Logged
Maaco Pilot	posted 05-22- 11:46 PM I too have tried all that I know. This is very sad. There has got to be a way to do it with so many skins out there. Any other ideas? ~Maaco~ IP: Logged
Jerry Pilot	posted 05-23- 12:19 AM I wish I could come up with more ideas Maaco. We have been swapping skins on the par planes for over a year now and I don't remember this problem before. Of course now days there's lots I don't remember. Maybe something about the par files getting corrupted some how with all the add ons? Sounds dumb but who knows? Have you tried a reinstall of just FS with no patches and addons to see if you can swap skins on the par planes? Have you tried viewing the tifs to make sure there is nothing wrong with them? There are a lot of people here a lot brighter than I am. I'm sure someone will come up with the right answer. [This message has been edited by Jerry (edited 05-23-2000).] IP: Logged
slk unregistered	posted 05-23- 01:15 AM Jerry, Thats a lot of work just to see if you can re-skin a plane, reinstall I mean. There has to be a way to do it, it's not one of the important things I guess. And your right about not being the brightest, hehehe Psi IP: Logged
Spyder Pilot	posted 05-23- 06:08 AM Awww gee when I saw the topic I was going to shout 'Show us yer tits!' Now then, back to our normal viewing. ------------------ IP: Logged
jedi Pilot	posted 05-23- 06:24 AM Hmmm. Maybe one of us builder types should unpack the parfile and open up the airplanes in OPS to check the file references of the skin textures. I've already done this for the 5.3 planes, but not contest pack 1.1. If I get a chance this evening I'll see what's what and post the file references being used by each plane... Don't like parfiles much myself, but I guess we're stuck with 'em. ------------------ --jedi-- IP: Logged
mposis Pilot	posted 05-23- 07:24 AM slk, Sorry but it worked for me. This p51d is the original p51d from the game. If you got the p51d from a planepack, maybe the filenames and directories must have been modified. Also I never had problems deleting the cache files. Maybe it is caused by the crack you are talking about. Here is a p51d with a fw190d9 skin that I renamed to p51d.tif and copied to the "Fighter Squadron\media\aircraft\p51d\textures" directory.

slk unregistered	posted 05-23- 09:39 AM Mposis, Maybe it was for the best anyway. I don't know what problems attributed to what happened. But since the reinstall the game seems to be running better. This would tell me that maybe I had something wrong to begin with. Not yer fault man, and like I said seems to have helped. As to the "crack" I refered to thats what a friend told me that 1.5 is called. "To crack a CD is to play without disc" = "crack" Jedi, Thanks, if you could help I would appreciate it. SPYDER! COME HERE! RIGHT NOW! You little BASTARD! can't I take you anywhere without you saying stuff like that to the lil girls. Why do you think I had to take you out of school and move to a new town, HUH! (SLAP)!!! WELL THAT DOES IT MISTER!!! tomorrow your gitt'n nutered. On behalf of all the "normal" people Maaco I appologize (Hmmmm (thinks)lights a smoke) Psi IP: Logged
Himdog Pilot	posted 05-23- 12:03 PM Hummmmm, maybe I should change my handle to "Herdog" and then I would have everyone falling over themselves trying to help me out. This is just a joke , but I would like to see some tits (just kidding again) Himdog out IP: Logged
ReaperMan Pilot	posted 05-23- 12:19 PM Well those Aussies certainly are a rowdy bunch We apologize for Spyder, but then again I'm not going to tell you that all men aren't pigs 'cause it's just not true. Some of them just say what the rest are thinking... whether they admit to it or not. Maaco, sorry to hear about your skin problems. I'm sure it's just something simple and you'll probably kick yourself later for missing it. Then again, it could be something horribly complicated that nobody here is qualified to handle. Psi, ya gotta cut back on the smokes. You're turning into a regular chain-smoker here. ------------------ -=TheReaper=- IP: Logged
Razer Pilot	posted 05-23- 12:54 PM The only hting that has changed in the planepack for the P51D is the horazonal stabe mapping. If anyone wants the template for the new mapping just ask and i'll send it over. ------------------ Tony "Razer" Martin http://www.fshangar.com IP: Logged

Maaco Pilot	posted 05-23- 01:48 PM If someone could tell me how to change these skins that actually works, I might post a little teaser. ~Maaco~ IP: Logged

Razer Pilot	posted 05-23- 02:32 PM what scheme are you trying to use and for what plane? ------------------ Tony "Razer" Martin http://www.fshangar.com IP: Logged
Maaco Pilot	posted 05-23- 03:17 PM Razer, I can not get any of them to work on the P51, P38, etc. I d/l'd these skins from the Warpaint Factory, your site I believe and a couple of others as well. No matter what I do the planes keep the same original skin. I am not having any problems with user-made planes, just the original ones. ~Maaco~ [This message has been edited by Maaco (edited 05-23-2000).] IP: Logged
Smokey Pilot	posted 05-23- 03:51 PM Hurry up Razer, help her! IP: Logged
slk unregistered	posted 05-23- 03:56 PM She sure got his attention with that (FLASH) post!!! Psi IP: Logged
ReaperMan Pilot	posted 05-23- 04:00 PM Well, the lady knows how to get what she wants. Maaco, got ICQ? If you're on the ActiveList you can usually get some real-time help from some of these "gentlemen." Just let me know if they start harassing you and I'll set 'em straight ------------------ -=TheReaper=- IP: Logged
