Help Repainting X-15

[Hagar]

When I attached them to the email the file name probably changed, all spaces and figures to _.

The easiest method would be to zip up your Texture.1 folder & attach that to the E-mail. The file names should not then be changed.

For some reason MSN wpuld not let me send a Ziped folder?, so I sent the files instead.

Maybe the complete folder was too big. You could zip the individual textures & send them.

[masmith]

The total zipped folder was 1.3MB, I tried zipping them individuality but that did not work ether.

This does not really mater, its not the file names that are the problem.

Right. Let's start from the beginning. Make sure the edited files in your Texture.1 folder are saved in the correct format with their correct file names. Then check the new Aircraft.cfg entry is correct. The smallest typo will be enough for it not to work.

I'm sure about every thing Ive checked again and again and again...but the only thing I'm not sure about is the file type what should I be saving them as?

If this was me I would save them in the original format, whatever that might be. You said you're using Extended 32bit 888-8 which should be fine. You could also use DXT1 or DXT3 Extended BMP formats with FS9.

[masmith]

DXT3 no joy trying DXT1 Now

[masmith]

DXT1 no luck.

These were originally FS2002 textures any problem with that?

Im starting to think that I may have missed some thing in the CFG

Could some one go over this please

[gryshnak]

All I did was rename the textures, and now they work just fine on my PC.

That looks fine from a quick glance. Since my last reply I downloaded the X-15 & quickly repainted it myself. I saved the repainted textures in DXT3 format, the same as the originals. I used the same Texture.1 folder as you for the repaint. It works just fine. Here's my modified Aircraft.cfg entries.

I just checked out your shot again.


It looks to me that your new folder is incorrectly named Texure.1.
Rename it to Texture.1 & it should work.

[masmith]

Why am I so Stupid

*Banging head on keyboard*

I spelt Texture.1, Texure.1, >:( >:( >:(

Sorry about all the trouble over one T

Stupid,Stupid me!!!  >:( >:(





Now Ive got that sorted I can get on with my real repaint!

Thanks ever so much
