don246 Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) FE2 the decals and guns not showing on the Pfalz D3 skins I copyed over from my FE1 install before I delete the plane has any one got any idea how to get them to show, I did try copying them from the main aircraft (Pfalz) folder into the individual skin folder but no luck. I have just installed the Jasta 16b skin set by Quack64 all the decals are showing but I have no guns do you think I should sack the ground crew. Edited March 20, 2010 by don246 Quote
+MigBuster Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Decals no longer go in the skin folder - read section 1 and 2 here which should apply http://forum.combatace.com/topic/44026-converting-older-planes-to-work-in-sf2-a-basic-guide-by-migbuster/ Quote
don246 Posted March 20, 2010 Author Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) Thanks Migbuster But still no luck with the decals showing and followed the link and instructions you posted. What I do not understand is other aircraft from the same site Skunkworks work ok with no editing the Pup and the Triplane to name just two,it's no problem I can live with out the Pfalz and any others that turn up with no decals or other items missing. Thanks again for your help. Edited March 20, 2010 by don246 Quote
Heck Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 If you've moved the decals into the decal folder, you also need to change the decal.ini for the plane, taking out everything in the filenameformat= lines except for the name of the decal itself, such as: FilenameFormat=PfalzD3a\Ex Works\D\pfalzserialga FilenameFormat=pfalzserialga Hope this helps.

don246 Posted March 20, 2010 Author Posted March 20, 2010 Im a bit slow on this one Heck I have just had my second BSOD and the pc rebooted it's self, my problem is the Decals INI here is my Decals INI for the Degelow skin for the Pfalz D3 it is the one that came with the plane. Now could you highlight or change it for me so I can see what you mean, and yes I have moved the decals into the decal folder. Many thanks.

Heck Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Inside your documents folder you should find your thirdwire folder, and inside that you should have an objects folder. I use xp, so I don't know what your file structure might be if you use windows 7. Inside, you need a decals folder. There wasn't one in my install, I had to create it. Any decals for your mods should go in there. Just make certain they're not named the same as stock decals, or they'll override them. Then, change your decal ini to this: [Decal001] MeshName=Fuselage DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=Stag Position=-1.9631,0.0100 Scale=1.10 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal002] MeshName=Fuselage DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=Stag Position=-1.9631,0.0100 Scale=1.10 DecalMaxLOD=3 Reverse=True [Decal003] MeshName=Fuselage DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=weights Position=-0.5021,0.1500 Scale=0.6 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal004] MeshName=Fuselage DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat= Position=-2.0521,0.0200 Scale=0.6 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal005] MeshName=Fuselage DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=Jasta7/D/ Position=-2.0521,0.0200 Scale=0.6 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal006] MeshName=WingTop_L DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=Jasta7/D/ Position=-0.5421,-0.1000 Scale=3.8 DecalMaxLOD=3 Reverse=True [Decal007] MeshName=WingTop_R DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=Jasta7/D/ Position=-0.5421,-0.1000 Scale=3.8 DecalMaxLOD=3 Reverse=True [Decal008] MeshName=Tail DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=Jasta7/D/ Position=-2.1521,0.0700 Scale=2.5 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal009] MeshName=Tail DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=Jasta7/D/ Position=-2.1521,0.0700 Scale=2.5 DecalMaxLOD=3 Reverse=True [Decal010] MeshName=WingTopO_L DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=TCross Position=-3.2421,-0.1500 Scale=1.5 DecalMaxLOD=3 Reverse=True [Decal011] MeshName=WingTopO_R DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=TCross Position=3.2421,-0.1500 Scale=1.5 DecalMaxLOD=3 Reverse=True [Decal012] MeshName=Nose DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=Jasta7/D/ Position=0.3021,0.1500 Scale=0.1 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal013] MeshName=Aileron_L DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=TCross Position=-3.2421,-0.1500 Scale=1.5 DecalMaxLOD=3 Reverse=True [Decal014] MeshName=Aileron_R DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=TCross Position=3.2421,-0.1500 Scale=1.5 DecalMaxLOD=3 Reverse=True This worked for me in xp. Hope it works for you. If anyone has windows 7 and I have any of this wrong, please correct me. Quote
don246 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) Sorted now to get the guns to show. Many thanks Heck for your time. Edited March 21, 2010 by don246 Quote
