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!

Installing one of MyTai's F-4B skins for SF1 to SF2 F-4B_67. Following correct SF2 file path for decals; all show up except nose number only on left side. How do I fix this?

I am unable to find the tutorial on modifying or replacing national decal. There are two nations I want to replace decal. At the same time, there are a few nations I want to add into the game and add their decals too. I can't seem to find the tutorials on it. So may I ask for the advice on this? I am working on interesting projects which requires me to do this. Cheers!

Since a while, I find myself in this condition (see pic). The RAF roundels are like 4 times the correct size. Happens only with RAF decals (all the other air forces are correct). Also happens on most other RAF planes (like Javelins, Hunters etc). I was thinking, perhaps some mod broken them, but I'm unable to trace back when it started. I reckon someone probably incurred in this already, I'd be grateful to know how can it be solved. Thanks.

Can anyone help me remove unwanted decals fragments?

Yet another Decals problem. I thought, I would know the rules, but... I made a VF-31 skin for the F-4J for my personal use... As you can see below, the Nose and Bu. No. on the tail show up in the LOD Viewer but are missing in game. I know you can use a maximum of 4 Decals for every Mesh Node... but that isn't the case here: [Decal001] MeshName=fuselage_front DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=F-4J\VF31\TGnumAC Position=7.91,-0.39 Rotation=0.0 Scale=0.8 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal002] MeshName=fuselage_front DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=F-4J\VF31\TGnumAC Position=8.10,-0.39 Rotation=0.0 Scale=0.8 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal003] MeshName=vertical_stabilizer DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=F-4J\VF31\FLnum Position=-6.60,2.44 Rotation=0.0 Scale=0.50 DecalMaxLOD=2 [Decal004] MeshName=vertical_stabilizer DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=F-4J\VF31\FLnum Position=-6.60,2.44 Rotation=0.0 Scale=0.50 DecalMaxLOD=2 [Decal005] MeshName=flap_inner_right DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=F-4J\VF31\FLnum Position=2.06,-1.82 Rotation=-13.0 Scale=0.80 DecalMaxLOD=2 [Decal006] MeshName=flap_inner_left DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=F-4J\VF31\FLnum Position=-2.06,-1.82 Rotation=13.0 Scale=0.80 DecalMaxLOD=2 [Decal007] MeshName=fuselage_P DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=F-4J\VF31\serialAC Position=-4.37,0.51 Rotation=0.0 Scale=0.5 DecalMaxLOD=2 [Decal008] MeshName=fuselage_P DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=F-4J\VF31\serialAC Position=-4.37,0.51 Rotation=0.0 Scale=0.5 DecalMaxLOD=2 I am missing something?

Hi folks,any of you guys know why my created serial number decals keep coming out with this "bleed" effect ?? ( I have followed FLOGGER23 's guide ). My squadron badge decals have no such issues.

Hi modders, is there a tutorial available on making serial numbers/registration number decals ???

I'm trying to understand the decals system. In which directories does the game look for decal texture files (referenced by decals.ini)?

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!

Hello all is it absolutely necessary for my model to be exported with the "decals" option in order to have decals show up in the game? i'd have exported "with" decals but many objects on the model turn out this translucent black color! thanks for any help Cheers

Hallo Leutz, wie ihr sehen könnt, habe ich mich an den Skin der chilenischen F-16s gewagt (Grupo de Aviación n°8). Da ich keine Erfahrung beim Erstellen von Decals bzw. nicht das passende Programm habe, wollte ich mal fragen, ob einer von euch so nett wäre mir die passenden Decals zu erstellen. ich bräuchte legendlich die Nummern (siehe Foto). die Nummern lauten wie folgt: 728 727 721 737 734 735 733 736 724 732 722 729 733 723 726 731 730 725 Infos zu den Flugzeug-Nummern habe ich hier gefunden: http://www.f-16.net/aircraft-database/F-16/serials-and-inventory/airforce/FACH/ Vielen Dank schon mal im voraus und wünsche euch noch ein schönes We! Gruß Josh

While putting final tweaks on my RAAF Intruders, I noticed that when I tweaked the Textureset.ini, I would lose the Aussie flag from the tail. Before: After: You'll note that there are actually six separate decals on the tail node (no reverses, but L/R versions of each decal): the squadron logo, the fin flash, and the flag at the top of the tail. Though not complaining, I couldn't figure out why it was even working in the first place, much less what I was doing to break it. Long story short, when I was adjusting the specular/glossiness/reflection values, non-zero values for all three would cause the last decal (the flag) to disappear. Resetting reflection to 0.0 would cause the flag to reappear. I haven't yet tested this with the other values; I can release this just fine with a 0 reflection value by keeping the specular and glossiness values up. I just thought that people might be interested in a way to stretch the decal-mesh limit.
