+Soulfreak Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) You have to make sure that there is no background on your decal file and save it as 32bit tga! And make sure that there is still some space between the painted area and the edges/ends of the file. File should look something like this, Edited April 13, 2011 by Soulfreak Quote
umm Posted April 13, 2011 Author Posted April 13, 2011 Thanks for your help and I did do just that but I keep getting the same see my attached file for teh decal. kk.zip Quote
+Soulfreak Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Try this. If it doesn´t work, post your entries of the decals.ini Is there another decal on that mesh? Can been something with that too! Edited April 13, 2011 by Soulfreak Quote
umm Posted April 13, 2011 Author Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Thanks it worked. but can you just tell me what are your using and if you can tell me how to do it step by tesp if that is ok with you. Looking forward for your replay. Edited April 13, 2011 by umm Quote
+Soulfreak Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 The magic is that it has to be a 32bit targa file! I use Photoshop7. try to search here in the knowledgebase. Maybe in SF1 section. Quote
+Wrench Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 there's a decal creation tutorial in FirstEagles forums (somewhere!) too. Long and involved, but detailed The National Insignia is a stock decal, as Kuwait is listed in the nations.ini. Probably be insigina051 (as that's the nation listing) Squadron badges, however, are another story... wrench kevin stein Quote
umm Posted April 13, 2011 Author Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) Hi Wrench, Thanks the information but I need it for other decal too the only tutorial that I found is this http://www.bobsyouruncle.net/SFdownloads/D...%2011-12-02.zip but it general and I need a detailed tutorial. But I may be mistaken as I am looking all over the forum. Thanks a gain for your help. Edited April 13, 2011 by umm Quote
+Wrench Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 http://combatace.com/topic/23485-decal-tutorial-long-with-biggish-images/ this is the one in the FE forum. I do mine differently (and can't seem to codify the procedure for some reason; it's just instinctive after 6 or 7 thousand ...) Quote
+russouk2004 Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Easy peasy...create a blank 125x125 image,transparent,add a layer put your decal on here,use magic wand,click on all the areas around\inside your decal,invert selection,then select as alpha channel,deselect and save as XYZ.tga Quote
