FE2 Decals not showing

[don246 65]

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.

Decals no longer go in the skin folder - read section 1 and 2 here which should apply

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.
