warthog64 Posted December 9, 2023 Posted December 9, 2023 I am trying to figure out how to add new nations via cut and paste in the nations.ini. Specifically creating a Chinese Navy addition for the War for Taiwan campaign. I have modified the SU-33 to resemble a J-15 and it looks good. Yet when copying the PLAAF nation text and renaming it for the PLANAF, I get the wrong markings. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted December 9, 2023 Posted December 9, 2023 ok looking at teh entry for China [Nation023] <--------------- did you change this to the next value in your nations.ini? Name=China <---------------- did you change this, say to ChinaNavy? DisplayName=Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force <------- I'll bet you changed this Alignment=ENEMY <------------------------------------------------------- PilotNameList=NamesChineseYP.lst | RankList=RanksPLA.lst CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst Formation.Fighter=SovietFighter | Formation.Attack=SovietFighter Formation.Bomber=SovietBomber Formation.Transport=SovietBomber this stuff probably isnt affecting it Formation.Tank=SovietTank Formation.MobileAD=SovietAD PilotTrainingStandard=NORMAL GenderRatio=0 DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav | DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.str | StartDate=1949 <---------------------------------------------------------- final things off top of my head is did you put it in your flight folder? and save the insignia as insigniaXXX.tga in the main decals folder (XXX being whatever value you assigned it)? alternately, your could just force the issue by putting the decals in the aircraft folder as whatever you name it except insignia. i do this with unit markings, but it should work insignia too.... 1 Quote
+Menrva Posted December 9, 2023 Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) To add new nations and have them with working insignia like on stock aircraft is not trivial, it is not just a matter of modifying the nations.ini file nor a matter of copying an insignia.tga file. Anyway, it is not necessary to reinvent the wheel, the People's Liberation Army Naval Air Force had been added already with the following mod: Edited December 10, 2023 by Menrva 4 Quote
