decal numbers?

[+hgbn]

Finally created my own set of decals. But I have some trouble getting them to show up on the aircraft.

 

[Decal010]

MeshName=fuselage_front

DecalLevel=0

DecalFacing=RIGHT

FilenameFormat=F-104G\RDAFF-104GESK723\d\NUM

Position=4.8,-0.070

Rotation=0.0

Scale=2.0

DecalMaxLOD=3

 

my decals are named NUM000,NUM001 etc. according to the numberlist. If I call out a specific decal it shows.

 

What are I doing wrong??

[+Soulfreak]

decal level for numbers is 2, not 0.

[+hgbn]

Thanks it worked!! What are the other level for??

[ndicki]

Level 0 is for nationality markings - INSIGNIA and FINFLASH will get you the markings that correspond to the nationality settings, either in the data.ini or the TextureSet.ini.

 

Level 1 is for technical markings such as ejection seat triangles, intake markings, etc.

Thanks it worked!!

Close, but not entirely true:

0 = Nation ID

1 = Squadron ID

2 = Aircraft Number

3 = Kill Number

 

(from TW's Decal Tutorial)

 

If you want a decal to show up always (not bound to AC number, etc.) use a decal with level 2 and no number for the decal - if the program doesn't find one with the correct number (like num001) it searches for the basic one (like num)!
