+Menrva Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 What the title says; is there a way to lock service markings for a specific skin? I don't want to be able to change the service markings in the menu, on a number of skins I am making. I'd like to have that option greyed-out, as seen for the unit markings here below. 1 Quote
+Stratos Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 I'm pretty sure is possible, cause I've seen this on several planes, (mostly RED side). Quote
+Menrva Posted October 9, 2019 Author Posted October 9, 2019 Well, I hope someone who knows how to do it is willing to help. Otherwise, I'll have to find about this myself. Quote

Do you have nation-specific entries (the ones that have 'DecalLevel=0' lines) in your Decals.ini? If so, remove the 'DecalLevel=0' lines. 1 Quote

+Menrva Posted October 9, 2019 Author Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) @Blade I removed the DecalLevel=0 lines, but it doesn't work, I can always select the service markings. Are we sure that we can disable such selection? I am not so sure about this. In campaigns it's locked for obvious reasons, but in single missions it seems it's always possible to change it.

Blade Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) I checked it. It seems that the game sees any decals with no DecalLevel line as a nation-specific decal (the default value for this parameter seems to be 0). Try reinserting the 'DecalLevel=' line but with a different value (e.g. 'DecalLevel=2'). Do not use 1, because the squadron selection would become active again.

Thank you very much for the help, Blade! Any idea about how many decal levels the game provides, and what their exact purpose is? Nevermind, I have found this thread about the decal system, it answers all my questions: https://combatace.com/forums/topic/92681-decals-system/?tab=comments#comment-748867 Edited October 9, 2019 by Menrva Quote
+Wrench Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Exported = FALSE make it nation specific??? Quote

Wrench, the plane was already nation specific, that's not the point! In all stock TW planes (which all have DecalLevel=0, even those with Exported=FALSE), for each skin you can select whichever nation you want in the loadout screen, thus you could have Chinese F-15s or Eritrean A-10s, if you wanted to. I wanted to disable such selection opportunity, and the solution provided by Blade works. FYI, I am using DecalLevel=3 for anything that is not serials, they show up in-game as well as in mue's LODviewer. Putting them all to Level=2 forced me to select a plane number in mue's LODviewer, to have them all show up, but not all of my skins have selectable numbers by design.
