ezlead Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 I am trying to bring a WOV WOE F-4B over to SFP2E. I can get the aircraft over fine. However,No decals. In the KB it says to list the skins(USNGrey1)plus the d file in the Mod Decals folder. Problem is,no d file. Do I have to bring the entire decals folder over with it? The decal.ini folder reads like this: [Decal001] MeshName=fuselage_P DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=Insignia----(Path???) Position=4.63,-0.167 Rotation=0.0 Scale=1.85 DecalMaxLOD=3 As we used to say in the Marines: Could someone do a "By The Numbers" decal tutorial? I mean assuming that the readers "Know Nothing". I haven't flown Sim with modern aircraft in long time(Prophead) ,so I'm starting to get used to Mig-17's kicking my A--. Oh,I'm not a rivet counter,would just like some decals.
+Dave Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Ez Do you know the decals you need? If you do, take them from the old sim and drop them into the decals folder of the new sim. Then you dont need the path just the decal name. Copy?
+331Killerbee Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Stock Insignia's have been Re-Named in SF2 for the F-4's. Here's some of the Stock Decal.INI from SF2: [Decal001] MeshName=fuselage_P DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=InsigniaFuseR Position=4.63,-0.167 Rotation=0.0 Scale=1.85 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal002] MeshName=fuselage_P DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=InsigniaFuseL Position=4.63,-0.167 Rotation=0.0 Scale=1.85 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal003] MeshName=wing_left_outer DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=InsigniaWingL Position=-4.241,-0.94 Rotation=40.0 Scale=2.5 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal004] MeshName=wing_right_outer DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=BOTTOM FilenameFormat=InsigniaWingL Position=4.241,-0.94 Rotation=40.0 Scale=2.5 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal005] MeshName=wing_left_inner DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=InsigniaWingL Position=-4.241,-0.94 Rotation=40.0 Scale=2.5 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal006] MeshName=wing_right_inner DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=BOTTOM FilenameFormat=InsigniaWingL Position=4.241,-0.94 Rotation=40.0 Scale=2.5 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal007] MeshName=wing_left_outer DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=BOTTOM FilenameFormat=InsigniaWingR Position=-4.241,-0.94 Rotation=-40.0 Scale=2.5 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal008] MeshName=wing_right_outer DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=InsigniaWingR Position=4.241,-0.94 Rotation=-40.0 Scale=2.5 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal009] MeshName=wing_left_inner DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=BOTTOM FilenameFormat=InsigniaWingR Position=-4.241,-0.94 Rotation=-40.0 Scale=2.5 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal010] MeshName=wing_right_inner DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=InsigniaWingR Position=4.241,-0.94 Rotation=-40.0 Scale=2.5 DecalMaxLOD=3 Semper FI! 331KillerBee
ezlead Posted January 7, 2010 Author Posted January 7, 2010 Well: I've tried everything that you guys recommended and No Joy! I'll just fly bare Navy and Marine aircraft. I got this game to fly,not to be a computer programmer.
+Dave Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 EZ get SF2:V and you will have all the F-4B's you need.
ezlead Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 Not a bad idea,USAF. I am just very frustrated with the new format. I spent almost a whole day trying to get decals to work. I'll ignore it for a few days and then get back into it. I had to do the same thing when I first started modding SFP1,WOV and WOE. I'll d/l an aircraft for 2ndgen and see what the procedures look like. I'm also very frustrated at getting my a-- shot off by those @#$%%&*&&^$# Migs! The new AI is very dangerous,I just have to learn how to fly and win in the new sim. Many thanks to you and killerbee.
+NeverEnough Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Hey Ezlead, download one of the SF2 models converted from the SF1 series and also download the original SF1 series model. Take a look at the two files side by side, and it will make the whole process make a alot more sense. This approach will show you the before and after picture of what changes have been made. It sure took the mystery out of the conversion for me!
ezlead Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 Never: Sometimes the answer is so close you don't see it. Thanks a ton!! I'm off to d/l an airplane.
+Dave Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 But still get SF2:V Ez, Sundowner did some FREAKIN' awesome skins for the F-4's!
