Making North Afrika mission, but all planes have Euro paint schemes?
« on: June 26, 2011, 01:24:12 AM »
Hello all.
I am making my first mission as a Co-op for my virtual JG when we get together outside of official missions. it is set on the Italy-Afrika-Greece map.
All in all its going great, but for some reason all aircraft keep their default skins.
The Blenheim's have a Finnish paint scheme, and the BF109's and Hurricanes have their standard European theater skins.
Yet I open these aircraft in QMB for a quick mission and they wear the appropriate desert skin and air filters.
Is there something I have to do to get these to load their desert skins?

I think you can't solve that really... in the load.ini of a map its set wich default skins get loadet, so maybe the Italy-Afrika-Greece map is still tagged as summer map.
Or are you using UP-3.0? It seems to have a skin bug...

I thought it went without saying that I was using UP3, oops! :P
I also tried it in the Libya map and was still getting Finnish blenheim skins.

... I don't know for the UP3 maps, but normally if you can open their load.ini, you only need to change line :

CAMOUFLAGE=SUMMER      into =DESERT to get desert default skins ...  ;)

I think you should try using #UP# file (same that old MODS file), there is Load.ini and everything else.

S!

... well I suppose all UP3 maps are in SFS format now, so you will need an SFS extractor like benitomuso's one to extract them, tweak them and then since you don't have an SFS packer, you won't be able to compile them again into their native SFS format, which is no problem except your game will take a little bit longer to load ...

So if this is a known bug, may be it is better to wait for the fix, looks like there is an RC3 due to be released today or very shortly later ...  ;)

In UP 3.0 RC2 there is a bug for he skins. It has been corrected and UP RC3 will also have the FC countries mod thanks to Piet ;)

We would have release it yesterday bu we wait a couple of things more. In any case, the coming week you'll have it and crt=2 is working like a treat since i did a mistake in RC2 release :P

Cheers :)
