Dhimar Decals not showing up...

[Spudknocker]

Hello!  I am having the hardest time making Dhimari Decals show up on aircraft in SF2... I created a nations.ini entry for dhimar but its still not working does anyone have any advice?  Im sure this is a simple thing to fix but it has stumped me for the longest time!

If you intend to use the dhimar decals included with the game, Dhimar HAS to be [nation256] to correctly use level 0 (country/service) decals.

 

Also make sure that in decals.ini decals supposed to be insignias - and other country level decorations using the country numbering scheme - are set to DecalLevel=0.

 

Another way is to create a nation specific skin duplicate and add 256 at the end of the FilenameFormat of concerned level 0 decals (i.e. FilenameFormat=Insignia should become FilenameFormat=Insignia256 if it's a Dhimar skin).

 

Yet another way is to extract the Dhimar decals and rename them with the nation number you used in your modified nations.ini, but that's the least graceful way to do it.

 

P.S.: The same applies for Paran, except that Paran should be [nation257]. Also, use placeholders between your last nation and Dhimar/Paran, if you skip numbers in the nations.ini it won't work properly.

Had exactly same problem. Found that you need fill gap between last nation id and [nation256] and ​[nation 257] with dummy empty nations and then decals show up. Wheni arrive home today I will upload nations for you.

 

Edit: Gunrunner already mentioned that. I was blind
