Moving Rotor Blade Skinning

Hello,

i've been trying to change the color of the rotors, however when they start rotating they change back to default.

Now i found out that it is the "uh_1_blade.tga" responsible for that.

is there any way to call the uh_1_blade.tga via the description.lua so we can make different kinds of painted rotorblades?

Thanks in advance.

Greetings.

Hello,

try to add {"uh1_rotor_alfa", 0, "your modified blade file",false}; to the description.lua.

It works like a charm, thank you very much!

Can you teach us how to do so ???

Nice.

Hey, for sure.

Go to:

...\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar\Textures\uh-1.zip

in there you find "uh_1_blade.tga.dds" open it with a program like DXTbmp (Click), choose "safe as" .tga.

Open the file in photoshop or simillar, change it however you want it, you will notice it has a alpha channel. Safe it as .tga 32-bit.

Put the file into your selfmade liveries folder.

Open your description.lua and add the line that upuaut gave us: {"uh1_rotor_alfa", 0, "your modified blade file",false};

replace "your modified blade file" with the name of your .tga (Obviously DUH!).

Start the game and watch how your rotorblades shine :D

If you got anymore questions or this wasnt understandable, just reply to this and i can give further assistance.

Greetings.

I somehow have the feeling everyone knew this allready, wicked. was this mentioned anywhere? what did i miss?

Thx ericoh, that does look nice man. Never been much into modding files but that one certainly looks worth it from the image.
