Unlocking Standard Liveries for MP

Hey Guys!

I made a small 'Mod' for unlocking the liveries of all nations in Multiplayer.

Basically i changed the description.lua in every livery which defines to what nation the skin is available.

I did it for the major modules:

A-10A, A-10C, AJS37, AV8BNA, BF-109K-4, C-101, Christen Eagle II, f_a-18C, F-15C, F-16C, f-16c bl.50, F-5EF-86, F14, FA-18C, FW-190A8, FW-190D9, I-16, ka-50, L-39, M-2000C, Mi-8mt, MiG-15bis, MiG-19P, MiG-21bis, mig-29a, mig-29g, mig-29s, mirage 2000-5, P-51D, SA342, su-25, su-25t, su-27, su-33, uh-1h, YAK-52, JF-17, J-11A, ChinaAssetPack, SpitfireLFMkIX

Until now i had no IC trigger, so it seems MP compatible.

This will save some space because you don't need to copy all liveries into a different location. Instead you can use the ~10Gbs of space for some more cat pictures.:lol:

Also this works much better without having double entries in the Loadout selection screen. (which i had at least)

Download from DCS User Files

Installation is pretty simple:

1. Download the file

2. Unpack the 'Bazar' and 'CoreMods' files into your main DCS directory

3. Confirm the override

4. ???

5. Profit

If something is wrong or something is missing let me know.

This is my first "Mod" :)

Hope you Enjoy! :D

Great work, i used it for mi Mi 8 and huey. (As i allready edit other liveries myself for most of them). But i used to go in LUA file and change country adding the ones i want but it seems the P51 doesn't work anymore with this logic. It only put me stock skin like if i DL a unknowned skin. I did got the same with my choppers but yours works perfect even in my C:\Users\name\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\ files.

If you could do the same for P51 it would be awesome. :)

Really enjoy your work ;) btw, i will try others skin since some of Su 27, Su 33 and mig 29 skins have been locked since nations concerned don't have those planes anymore (like helenic skin for example.) i will let you know if i face any trouble.

Thank you! I hadn't much time too play DCS latlely so i didn't came around too update the mod.

It seems like they changed something how the game finds the textures. You have too delete all file endings in the lua file e.g. "mi_8_tex1.dds" -> "mi_8_tex1"

Since today is a Holiday for me in Germany i think i will just rework it.

Hey, just wanted to let everyone know that i have updated the mod and included a link to my github with the script that will now do the unlocking automated.

You can find it here https://github.com/binarydesu/dcs_mp_unlock_liveries.

It's my first coding project. It's not a beauty but does it's job. :)

Stay healthy and fly save!
