Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Yeah, just tested with a test roughmet (slight reflectivity) and diffuse map (flat grey)...the normal map for the TCS is not working for any skin as you can see in the image: Edited April 21, 2019 by watermanpc Take a look at my MODS here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swordsman422 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Okay, I think I see the issue I'm having. Whatever layers are corrupted include the Fin_Outer layers. I finally tracked them down and they appear to have objects in them but are empty. I did a magic wand select on the slime layer. It shows the slime light should be there, but it isn't. As a test, I made invisible all of the other layers to make sure it wasn't just hidden by something and this area is still empty. I redownloaded the paint kit and am still getting the corrupted layer error when I open this file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sSkullZnBoneZz Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Can any one tell me why my wings are not showing up in game as the same color of the fuselage even though in PS they are exactly the same? I used a lighter color but the wings always show up darker.

ensamvarg Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 [ATTACH]209065[/ATTACH]They are part of the Do Not Touch - Base group which it looks like you flattened? The Fin_Outer group to be more precise. You also really want to keep your layers inside the Liveries folder to make sure all masks and layer effects stay intact. This is the unaltered original as I see it when opened. Try as I might, I cannot find the Fin_outer group. I also get this error message when I open it. If that's how it opens then there is something not compatible with CS6 within that PSD file. :( HeatBlur Template repository Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flogger23m Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Quick question on the LODs. Looks like I got it to work for the first second level (thanks ensamvarg) but there is a third level of visual LOD change which defaults back to a generic scheme. Admittedly this is hard to see especially depending on lighting but depending on the scheme I can certainly spot the change on a 2560x1440P 27" monitor. The scheme I am working on is all black so it is more apparent. At level 2 LOD: When level three kicks in you can see it turn gray: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to try that every thing looks to be working for me, only errors I have received are about the fonts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra847 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Super distant LOD uses a basic flat colour for everything (middle-grey, ish) for performance reasons. I might make this reference a small bitmap instead.

Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 any info about the TCS's nomal map not working HB?...also not sure if I explained myself correctly, but the syntax error for the roughmet map is in the default files not in my editing that's why I called it a "bug" so it can be fixed at some patch...just to be clear. thanks guys!!

You may want to try that every thing looks to be working for me, only errors I have received are about the fonts. How long is the trial for? Not having $600 to pay I had to go with the free version. I'm not an advanced user. I just need enough to do decent texture work. I cut my teeth in PS7 doing liveries for the Strike Fighters series, but I don't have PS7 anymore.

Wing Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Those are unfortunately not a text layer on this livery. They are on the Dark layer, and you can erase them then insert your own text. Will fix this for later paint kit versions to make it easier to edit names. Sorry about that.
