baz Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Inspired by this. In general less grey and more contrast, Subtly more present gauges. Made the "controls indicator" smaller. Modifications - Saturated colors - Changed some colors - Background gauges darker - Brightened index gauges - Added some elements - Little less reflection - Controls indicator downsized to 1/4th and made it more transparent howto.txt and three files in the .zip download . Looks great, but what's the trick in copying the files to UH-1H-CPT-TEXTURES.zip, have tried several times, but cannot copy & paste the mod files to UH-1H-CPT-TEXTURES.zip. Any ideas why I can't move the 2 files to the UH-1H-CPT-TEXTURES.zip. Appreciate any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piXel496 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) @baz If your pc understands .zip First extract the files from the downloaded .zip (to your desktop). Then drop the extracted files into UH-1H-CPT-TEXTURES.zip. Because from .zip direct to .zip could give the problem you describe. Hope it helps .

Thanks for that solution piXel496 , worked a treat, didn't think of extracting to the desktop . Would this mod also work in 1.2.7 open beta, thought I'd ask before trying.

piXel496 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) It should be straight forward unzipping, drag and dropping especially if you are admin of your PC. I try to visualize your issue and it might just be that you try to copy from one .zip file directly into another .zip file, this could be unacceptable for windows. And maybe the next written sequence helps. First unzip hueyGauges.zip. That should be the first step. Then Copy "uh1_dev_2.bmp.dds" and "UH1_pribors_c.tga" (or any other described in howTo.txt) from the unzipped file into: DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Uh-1H\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Textures\UH-1H-CPT-TEXTURES.zip In the case you can't add and overwrite the files within UH-1H-CPT-TEXTURES.zip, with the files from the now unzipped folder hueyGauges. Right click UH-1H-CPT-TEXTURES.zip and see if it is read only. If so change it. (Always a good idea to make a temporary copy of UH-1H-CPT-TEXTURES.zip before fiddling) I hope It sets you in the right direction.:) .

Flagrum Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 What I am doing when a .ZIP file has to be altered is, I create a directory of the same name (without the .zip ending ofc) and copy the files into it. DCS looks first for a regular file and if it doesn't find it, it looks into ZIP files. In this case, it will look like this then: DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Uh-1H\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Textures\UH-1H-CPT-TEXTURES.zip [b](original DCS file!)[/b] DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Uh-1H\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Textures\UH-1H-CPT-TEXTURES\uh1_dev_2.bmp.dds DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Uh-1H\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Textures\UH-1H-CPT-TEXTURES\UH1_pribors_c.tgaThat eleminates the need to alter such files which can become outdated with newer DCS versions rather quickly.
