Title: Paint your Killmarks!
Post by: Semor on January 30, 2013, 10:16:36 AM

Hi everybody.

First of all: I´m not the Author of this programm!

I use this little program for years in my Dynamic campaigns.(first release was 2006!!) It is very easy to use especially for those of us who have not very knowlege about skining.

What does it do:

It allows the user to paint his own killmarks on every plane he wants,with a minimum on mouse clicks.Or create your own Victory mark style!

Select the skin you want to alter

Select one marking (you can choose one .bmp file from the paintvictory directory)

With your mouse, click, drag and release to draw a selection square. The square must be bigger than the marking selected. Always draw from top left to bottom right.

Choose the number of markings you want and then click on the button to paint them.
Once you have finished, you can save your file (better with a new name)

Victory marks included for:Germany,Japan,USA,RAF,Russia,Finland,Hungary and a few "Extras"  8)

I always thought it would be cool if the kill marks could be "painted" as part of campaign progress automatically.  Say, tied to the UI count for campaign stat tracking, and associated with the in game markings dialog.

Can they be removed as well? Otherwise you might have to back up all your skins in order to keep 'blank' versions for future campaigns.

Nope! for this case you have to save your new painted bird under a different name.
 Of course,there is no need to backup ALL your skins,only the one wich you want to "Killmarked"

I know Wings Over Vietnam (That was the only one I had) Had the feature of placing kills on the plane as you progressed through the campaign. No idea if it would work for IL2.

Yeah,this would be a great addition and I wish this would be possible for IL-2.
