Ever Have Decals Not Showing?

[+Dave 2,322]

Ever have that problem of decals sometimes not showing up on your plane. Well I found out the reason why.

 

When naming decal never start your number sequence off like this:

 

nameofdecalnum000

nameofdecalnum001

nameofdecalnum002

 

By doing that you will get a blank tail because that 000 tells it not to put a decal there. Do not ask me why. I do not know.

 

 

By making you first decal like the example below you will get 100% your decals to show.

 

nameofdecalnum

nameofdecalnum001

nameofdecalnum002

 

Here is what the tail of the F-15E looks like in the decal.ini. Remember the decallevel tells it that it is a number sequence decal:

 

[Decal008]

MeshName=Right_VTail

DecalLevel=2

DecalFacing=RIGHT

FilenameFormat=F-15E/OT/d/Rtail

Position=-8.1,1.9

Rotation=0.0

Scale=3.00

DecalMaxLOD=3

 

In my D folder, holding my decal tgas the very first one is called Rtail. That is where it tells it to start. Then when you choose whatever number plane you want your deals will be there. Hope this helps.
