Stock decals and insignia's extrection

[toot]

Hi, was wondering if anyone knows how to extract decals and insignia's using the cat extractor? I've only managed to get skins out (which was also kinda annoying since you need the exact name), but i havent been able to find decals and insignias.

Would appriciate any suggestions and tips!

they are hidden in one (insignias) or more (numbers & sqn patches) of the objedttdata cat files.

Wich one I don´t know yet.

Just try, should be something like insignia***, USAFNum***, SQNPatch***  or something like those..

Have a look into ObjectData003 to 006 ;)

they are literally scattered EVERYWHERE, but those stuntman listed will have many. Also, some in the 20s have a bunch more.

best thing to do, is have another multi-terrabyte HD and extract them ALL. Easiest way to find things.

If it was easy they wouldn't pay us so much.

Default INSIGNIA from 001 to 256

Just extract everything. It took 1 minute and 12 GB

You always can delete extracted anytime

Default place for changed insignia in your mod folder is

C:\Users\*YOURNAME*\Saved Games\ThirdWire\*StrikeFighters2 YOURMOD*\Objects\Decals\

With the CATExtractor from Mue's Toolbox you can search for files (in all CAT and DLC files at once) by applying a filter, e.g. "insign*tga":
