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 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.

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.
