Hi Kevin here is mytais note on how to which is public let me know if you need anything more.

 

Mytai01's 1966 VMFA-115 F-4B skin

 

This skin depicts the 1966 F-4B's of VMFA-115 Silver Eagles.

 

Installation:

1.Drop the USMCVMFA115 66 folder into your Objects/Aircraft/F-4b folder.

2.Add the following lines to the F-4b.ini:

 

[TextureSetXXX]

Directory=USMCVMFA115 66

Name=VMFA-115 Silver Eagles 66'

Nation=USMC

Squadron=VMFA115

Specular=0.30

Glossiness=0.75

Reflection=0.00

 

The "XXX" should be replaced by the number that follows the last texture set number.

 

I have followed this and still have no luck??

[Wrench 9,818]

That would be used for your textureset ini; the part of the text added to the main ini that tells the skin what to do.

 

Out of curiosity, IS there a textureset.ini with the skin??? Even if you add it to the F-4B.ini, you may still need one in the skin folder.

 

What I need to see is there a decals.ini. That's what tells the game engine where, and what kind of, marking to add to the skin.

Wrench, I don't think that the decals.ini is the problem here. I have installed several mytai's skin and never had a problem with them. (Except for their size, perhaps. Well, quality has its price. )

Topcat, have you changed the name of the skin folder in any way? Because in my opinion that is the usual explanation for decals not showing up.

 

Example: (from mytai's 1971's VF51 skin)

[Decal001]

MeshName=wing_left_outer

DecalLevel=0

DecalFacing=TOP

FilenameFormat=f-4b\pacusnvf51 71\D\usa <- if you change the name of the skin folder 'pacusnVf51_71' the decals won't show up anymore.

Kevin I hope this is what you need and I will check the name on the folders and make sure they are correct. Thank you both for your help!!

I'm at work so can't check, but from memory you might find that the problem is the [space] in the folder name. As I recall it, the fileformat line can't be read if there's a space in it. For example fileformat=f-4b\usmcvmfa115 66\D\wtt should be changed to fileformat=f-4b\usmcvmfa115_66\D\wtt.

 

This will mean changing the tile of the skin folder and the f-4b.ini file entry to match.

 

There is also a maximum length to the number of characters that can be used to identify a decal. Your full path entry is getting up there.

Here was the problem I used the F-4B Late from the Mytai site and had all the problems? and when I put the new file in the early F-4B it worked without making any changes I just extracted the file and fly. Thank You all for your help!!!
