Decal help

[+russouk2004 6,958]

Ok im a noob...(pretend please...lol)

I am about to blow a gasket here

I have a model underway...and decals are just going mad

I added the decals ok...

One side of fuselage for example...

its a German a\c ok...

I have the cross ...when i set them in dec ini one shows up...then I set the other as exact same in ini...and the 1st vanishes and nothing....

wing crosses refuse to show at all,whatever level number I set...

the meshes are correct names...they are actual size...(3d model measurements are fine)

I have been hours trying to get them to work...one decal is ok...and thats the manufacturers name decal....lol

WOE with latest patch...btw

 

this is the a\c folder path

*censored*\Luftwaffe\D\decal name here

the mesh names in question are...

Last 2 entries work fine

 

Fuselage

Tail

LeftWing

LOW (left outer wing)

2 decs on fuse

4 on tail...I know...I tried 3 and still nowt..

this is the decal.ini entries

any help will be a godsend..

Russo,

Sometimes, I 've had trouble getting the decals to show up if the FilenameFormat line was too long.

 

For eg..

FilenameFormat=Mirage 2000D/1sqdn_tigers/d/wingsrl <== long line

 

so I changed it to something shorter by re-naming:

FilenameFormat=Mirage 2000D/1sq_iaf/d/wsl

 

May be in your decals.ini the *censored* a/c name is making the line too long?

The a\c name is only 5 letters m8y...so I dont think its that...

I will try tho...good idea

[+russouk2004 6,958]

nope...none show at all....ffs...im getting really p***** off here now...lol

im gonna paint them...fek it

[Spinners 15,986]

Is it because the fourth character is a full stop?

[+russouk2004 6,958]

full stop where m8y?...

I changed names to

MBB\Luft\cross

no joy...

 

someone want a\c to have a look for me please.....or im gonna scrap it due to my being really annoyed with it now...lol

cheers

oh well looks like its the garbage bin

[+Sundowner 4,837]

The only thing wrong that I can see is the your decal 1&2 entries are different scales.....maye the second one Scale=1.0, is covering the others, unlikley but worth looking at.

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557]

There are 3 planes in the pic lightning german stealth and the 3rd?

[+russouk2004 6,958]

possibly...for 2 meshes that share same decal...I tried to see if the decal was too small to show...so tried various sizes to see wot happened..

[+russouk2004 6,958]

Thats a Hawker P.1211...that never was...

 

this is the only decal I can get to show...MBB

 

[+whiteknight06604 934]

stupid question here but did you try to see if it may be a problem with the decales by trying them on another aircraft.or trying a stock decal on your new model.maybe a coordinate is messed up?thats all I can think of.Interesting project btw.

[Wrench 9,850]

I absolutely think you should NOT give this up!!!

 

It just looks TOOO cool!!

 

I'll be glad to help out, if want, Russo! Be my pleasure. Need to OUT file, to, please.

 

I been able to decal some pretty odd stuff...it DO take a lot of time sometime to dial in those positions
