MISSING SKINS SOLVED! - Ilya please read

[Stiboo]

Hi Folks

I do not know if this is common knowledge yet, but while testing the FMB I realised that the reason I cannot change skins for the Hurri and Spit is that COD is using another game folder for skins and missions -

\My Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover

But the skins folder is empty....so copy your STEAM skins folder into the above location and at last we can use skins !!!

Ilya - can you solve yet another problem? Is it possible to just have the one folder for the game? or make sure files are copied to both locations?








Will carry on testing all the new scripts in the FMB !


Cheers

Simon

That would be good. Setting up all the controls and tweaking everything for max performance is a big job, and it would be a lot nicer if we only had to think of files in one location.

Hm. I can't find the skins. I find all the empty folders under "C:\Users\[...]\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\PaintSchemes\Skins", but can you be more specific as to where the skins are?

Thanks in advance.

Skarphol.

PS. Wont be back until wednesday afternoon.

Hi Skarphol

your skins are in your STEAM folder -

\STEAM\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\PaintSchemes\Skins

you need to copy this folder to the one mentioned above


I think only the Hurri and Spit have actually got any skins in their folder - the other are all empty...but now we know where they go, the Skinners can get to work !

Jpg format....hmm thought I noticed the compression artifacts, does .dds work?

edit: Guess not.

This is a very important find!

Who knows what else might be missing.
