Decal Question..........

[GWhizz]

Could be a subject already covered,but...

Im trying to add a single-letter tailcode decal to the F-86.Ive created the decal,positioned it correctly and checked it shows up OK,using the DECAL LEVEL 0 setting.

The problem is,when I change the level setting to 2,the decal dosnt show :(

Could it be that because I havent made more than one decal yet,they wont show as aircraft numbers?

let me see your decals.ini file and I'll try to help you

 

will be much easier that way

[Decal022]

MeshName=VertTail

DecalLevel=2

DecalFacing=RIGHT

FilenameFormat=234 Sqdn/tailcode

Position=-4.731,1.853

Rotation=0.0

Scale=1.25

DecalMaxLOD=3

 

Ive tried naming the decal tailcode000 and 001,but neither seem to work.I notice a number of d/loaded skins have a numbers file,and im wondering if this is the prob ie my lack of one :o

Once you use decal level 2 you must have a numbers.lst in the skin file.The easiest way to get one is to just copy and paste one from another skin and then edit it with notepad to suit your needs.

yeah

numbers.lst is a simple text file looking like that

 

10

15

24

36

78

 

meaning your plane have 4 different individual numbers to chosse from (being in this exemple 10, 15, 24 ..)

 

the decal corresponding to number 15 would thus be xxx000.tga, the one to 15 being xxx001.tge, the one to 24 being xxx002.tga, etc..

 

in the decals.ini file, you would simply refer to this by xxx, no final number, no TGA
