Magic Zach Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) Hi All, Thanks for your concern. Unfortunately, I'm fully captured by jf-17 development and have no time working on this tool. Since latest edm has its format updated, my tool no longer works for edm created by latest edm tool (version newer than Jan 2018 i guess). I will contact nickD, and see whether he would like to help, or i will make this tool open source, and anyone who is interested can continue. ThanksI noticed this. I used to he able to view .edm files like the P-51 in a particular program, ONLY so I could view which textures paired to what surface or object, for sake of knowing what to use in a description.lua. However, after the WWII update, not only can I no longer open .edm files, the normal maps seem to be very different. Upon opening one of the Mustang's normals into DXTBmp, it acts like it imported something, but nothing is visible in the viewing space. And the old blue normals no longer work (get missing texture, even though it isn't missing, just old).

Grajo Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Hi Devrim! I think I tried with those, as it was logic to go in that sequence after checking the lua for your "Complete English Cockpit" Mod, but seems not working for textures/materials from 9 to 12. Just trying to make a very simple mod for the cockpit with an slightly more blue tone similar to the one in the Su-33. I can not replace any of the panel textures where the gauges or buttons are attached, I think they are these 9,10,11,12. Just can replace those for the canopy frame and ruder pedal area. Will give it another try. Thanks for that .lua file!:thumbup: *Any updates on UBOATS tool? We do really need those .luas :]. Link to my MODs - So far...

Grajo Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I realized that the files I should modify also, were those that include the gauges ...

Grajo Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Hey uboats! No problem at all. I mean, a lot of the modding in liveries and materials/textures that has happened so far in DCS it has been in a part thanks to you. I would really wish there was a way to get those luas some how for the "regular" non programmer folk. Here, Automan is speaking about the possibility of digging that info using and HEX editor... although after giving it a try I found myself like if I was trying to read the code of matrix.... Looks like is the way he got that lua file for the Spitfire. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=234241 Thanks a lot for making your current code open source and for all the hard work so far. Hope somebody can take it from here on, maybe ED in their next update of the Model Viewer? :music_whistling: Best Edited March 14, 2019 by Grajo Link to my MODs - So far...

For edm v8, all texture materials are like plaintext that quite easy to read even in hex editor. But since v10, it becomes more complicated, NickD helped me for v10 format. Although current edm format seems to be still v10, there's already some changes.

Said it couldn't get the IP. Downloading the latest one now. Thanks, Devrim! I'm assuming this will mean I can work on my livery away from my gaming PC with DCS on it.
