Extract textures won't work

[lowe54 0]

Hi There, this is my first post

 

It says in the readme that you use the 'Extract textures' application to extract the skins, but when I double click on it, nothing happens

 

Can anyone help me so I can edit them

 

Thanks in advance

Are you talking about extract textures in the LOMAN or ModMan program?

No, the extract textures that I am talking about is installed with the game disk, and is located within the actual Lock On root folder

It looks to me that you'd use that thru the Start/Run command but I don't know how to do it. I don't even know if it works. ModMan has a CDDS extractor that works well. The only thing is that it extracts the BMP's as 32 bit. You have to run them thru a photo editing program such as Photoshop and remove the alpha channel and save as 24 bit. What textures do you need extracted?

The main textures that I am looking to extract are the actual blank skins, so that I can make my own (e.g F-16, A-10A) skins

There aren't any "blank" skins. They're all painted. You'll need a template that has panel lines, rivits, etc and AFAIK they're only available for the flyable aircraft. You can check Lockonfiles.com for the template downloads.
