lol Los.


Well, now I'm having a totally different problem. I had made a uber-B17 (6 positions total) and given it a new skin, and a spawnpoint as well. The only problem is now I'm trying to make another B17...I renamed ALLLL the files in objects.con, networkableinfo, geometries, physics, the standardmesh files, the filenames IN the standardmesh files, and the textures. The problem? Of course there's no new skin. And networkable info is trying to screw things up again, I think. I don't get it. I have all the right files there, it should work! It's like placing a custom object/vehicle in your own map...I can't see anything wrong in the code.

Is there an easier way to have 2 vehicles of the same type, with 2 different skins on the same map?

Gahhh! Please help, lol.

I made a map for CQB with 3 the same cars but with different skins :

As long as the names are slightly different it should work.

ObjectTemplate.addTemplate lodB17 ??

I'll test it in a bit. I was messing with it last night some, so this is the files at my 'backup point'. I think it may have crashed if I changed the LOD to memphisbelleLOD, it went kaput..

I'll take a look in a bit, match now.

Please provide us with the .rs files associated with the MemphisBelle.

To have differant skins for a similar vehicle the .rs ( located in the StandardMesh.rfa ) file must point towards a seperate .dds file.( located in the Textures.rfa )
Did you make a custom skin for the B-17 ?
Can we please see some screenshots of your two B-17s. ( including the MemphisBelle )
( By default, BF1942 has two B-17 skins - one is green and the other is light brown or tan colored ).

I also noticed that you are using the B17lod with the MemphisBelle, try making it's own lod for proper rendering.

I have lots of similar vehicles in my custom maps and mods and they all have their own separate skins.



All the .dds files for the above vehicles have the same name ( corvettebody.dds - there is a white skin, a blue skin and a red skin .dds file for each ) but are located in seperate folders that their respective .rs files point to.
