LOOKING FOR DECAL MAKING TUTORIAL

[+Veltro2k 6,351]

Squadron decals are level1 in the decals.ini

 

You have to make a numberslist. Copy a numbers.lst from whatever aircraft. Open with wordpad and clear every entries. Now you name every number you created in your tga's accordingly to the number sequence. like 1 = TGA.num000 and 2=num001 and so forth

 

like this ?

 

1=FuseNum070

2=FuseNum071

3=FuseNum072

4=FuseNum073

5=FuseNum074

6=FuseNum075

7=FuseNum076

8=FuseNum077

9=FuseNum078

10=FuseNum079

11=FuseNum080

No just the actual number on the aircraft in the list. but it has to follow the numbering sequence of your tga's

[+hgbn 91]

so the number in the numbers.lst match the number you painted on the tga.

 

 

The tga should be named fusenum000-010

 

You can compare the LST with a ini it calls out the tga's.

I wish that was the problem...but no

Change the DecalLevel to "0". Reason is, That You might not have this Squadron listed in the SquadronList.INI. Second, If You did, You need to have it in the "Decals" Folder because that's where the Decal Engine is looking for it. If the .Tga has been created in the "Decals" Folder for this Skin, try adding the Squadron to the SquadronList.INI. Be sure to number the .TGA to reflect the Number of the Squadron in the SquadronList.ini. DecalLevel=1 controls this Function.

 

For Example: If say I have VMA-231 as Squadron Number 455 on the SquadronList.INI, Then I'd have SqPatch455.tga in My Decals Folder. It'll work everytime.

 

It'll look like this in the SquadronList.ini:

 

[squadron455]

Name=VMA231

DisplayName=VMA-231 Aces

Nation=USMC

 

And in the Decal.INI like this:

 

[Decal001]

MeshName=NOSE

DecalLevel=1

DecalFacing=LEFT

FilenameFormat=SqPatch455

Position=-11.33,5.425

Scale=1.5

DecalMaxOD=3

 

DecalLevel=0....Nations ID

DecalLevel=1....Squadrons ID

DecalLevel=2....Aircraft Number

DecalLevel=3....Kill Number

 

If You are setting up an independent Decal Folder for this Skin, then set Your DecalLevel's to "0". It defaults all Decal Functions.

 

Very important if using SF2. TW refined the Decal System.

 

BTW, I looked at the Decal (.Tga), It's fine.....

 

Hope this helps....
