CowboyTodd41 Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 Just though a great skin should have a great helmet! Coming Soon: The Top Gun collection.
Guest Ranger332 Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 NICE where you put them when ya done ? :?:
CowboyTodd41 Posted February 4, 2003 Author Posted February 4, 2003 objects/aircradt make it's PILOT.bmp
*Fast Eagle* Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 open pilot.bmp and color the helmet save as pilot.bmp and your good to go (I saved as pilot1.bmp and renamed the original pilot 2 and then renamed the edited one pilot.bmp, so I would always have the original)
Guest Ranger332 Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 LOL TY BUT HAD IT WAS "PLAYING" WIT THAT DANG OLD CARRIER LOL
stevechester Posted February 5, 2003 Posted February 5, 2003 i am very new to SF, could someone please explain where to find the bmp for the helmet and where to put it after it has been repainted. thank you for reading this firefish
*Fast Eagle* Posted February 5, 2003 Posted February 5, 2003 You find this file in the Objects.cat file. You need to download the cat extractor and extract the Pilot.bmp It will extract to the folder C:Program FilesStrategy FirstStrike FightersObjects Edit the .BMP and save in the Aircraft directory as Pilot.bmp
PhabulousPhantom Posted February 6, 2003 Posted February 6, 2003 sure wish Pilot skins could have a higher resolution.. hate them blurry things.
Guest Ranger332 Posted February 6, 2003 Posted February 6, 2003 sure wish Pilot skins could have a higher resolution.. hate them blurry things. REMBER NOT TO FORGET YOUR LOOKING THROUGH PLEXYGLASS CURVED AT THAT MAY NEED THE REFLECTION TO GET A BETTER ASSPECT FROM THE PILOTS VIEW
PhabulousPhantom Posted February 6, 2003 Posted February 6, 2003 Why are you always posting in CAPS man.. feels like youre constantly shouting..... must be my old IRC behaviour popping up. :?
Beer Posted February 6, 2003 Posted February 6, 2003 Phab you can have higher res pilot skins, just change the file size to say 800x800, make your changes, then reduce back, this concept is how I got the "Danger Jet Intake" and the "Rescue" legible on the VF-84 skin (2048x2048). For this helmet I resized to 800x800, used the font "Wingdings" and applied the Scull and X-Bones. I used the Character Map to search the Font for an Helmet symbol to apply. Cheers Beer
PhabulousPhantom Posted February 6, 2003 Posted February 6, 2003 Looks, Phabulous :) Anyone working on a complete high resolution skin?.. One more thing, how.. do you make the text at a angle, and wich settings do you use to apply the font, and is that the USAF Amarillo font?.. ahh <--- filled with stupid questions
Guest Sony Tuckson Posted February 8, 2003 Posted February 8, 2003 Unfortunately it seems only one pilot skin is available for each "session" of the game I tried placing pilot.bmp in a specific texture folder, but it always shows the one in the aircraft folder or default to the one compiled in the cat file only way for me is pilotx.bmp, with different values for x and renaming according to desired skin for the game to come, knowing only pilot.bmp will show could be eased up with a batch file but not ideal to say the least :roll:
