[Spider16]

thanks

Do you have any skins that work for this bird?

Only thing I can think of is the folder name... Recheck that...Just sayin...
Good Luck 

[Spider16]

Yes Gunny, everything is correct with the folder name in the paint schemes. The other F-84 types have usually shown their skins in the options menu, only the F-84F has this problem. I am using the fully updated BAT.

Grateful for the attention

Ok I down loaded this plane and skins from M4T.

This is the name that worked for the F84E-------->  F84E_Early_ThunderJet
I tried the F84E nothing then I tried F84E_Early Nothing...
Last try was the name above and then they show..
So it is the NAME of the skin folder... Good Luck...



Folder name for the F84-F---------F84F1_ThunderStreak

Gunny, as I had previously reported, I use as an information base not to make mistakes the first part of Air.Ini where I copy and paste in the "new" paint schemes folder, if any, when deploying a new airplane. let's say. Therefore, there is no chance of error by the rules. And the name of the folder is correct, so I can't understand what happens. Thanks for your kind help and interest.

Dear friends, on the subject F-84F, I noticed that in the first post for download the name on Air.Ini is with the letter 's' in upper case: F84F1_ThunderStreak air.F84F1 1 NOINFO uses01 SUMMER, as can be seen here, however, it appears that in future updates this has changed to: F84F1_Thunderstreak air.F84F1 1 NOINFO uses01 SUMMER, with the letter 's' being in tiny mode, which is the current format in Air.Ini. In both cases applied to the paint schemes folder the first mode really should not work and does not work and in the second mode - the correct one - neither. Thanks!


Cheers

I don't think it has something to do with the skin folders name, that should be OK.

I tried in BAT and had the same result, when selected no skin showed up.
A look into the log showed this:

Code: [Select]

[2019-10-24 14:21:32.493] dT:    0 INTERNAL ERROR: TGA '3DO/Plane/F84F/summer/skin1o.tgb' has unsupported format

btw: a log ALWAYS is helpful. 

When I looked into this F84 pack it turned out that the defSkin TGB file of the F84F has a size of 16MB
with a size of 2048x2048 and/or too many colors (?). Sadly I forgot (wasn't into this kind of stuff
for years now) how to handle this and make it a working 4MB TGB file.

So I tried another "quick" fix for my BAT Install with just making a folder FG84F-Fix with subfolders
3do, plane, F84F, summer and put there just the files from another F84G summer folder
including the 4MB TGB file, but sadly that that didn't work as those F84G defSkins aren't compatible
with this (new) F84F swept wings Paint scheme (the old F84Fs were afair)..

So when I tried this dirty fix a skin inside the F84F paintschemes skin folder was shown then
when i selected it but as explained above: its unuseable.

Seems what we need is someone who knows how to make that F84F 16MB TGB file a working one
and post it here, then we can try again to solve this.

Many thanks Gerax for the simple and straightforward explanation of the problem and we hope to have some solution soon. Qualified people exist and several here in our forum.

Is this about the F-84F in BAT or about the stand alone Mod?

Because in BAT, the F-84F most definitely works with skins:
Folder is "F84F1_Thunderstreak"  and it accepts 1024² true color skins and HD skins as well.  I just made one myself for my recently released Suez Crisis campaign pack.

Can't say anything for the stand alone though.
