Meet the Aggressors (skinning)

Post by toonces » 2008-11-26 03:37:26

Hi all.

I've been combing fafa's excellent website, finding the aggressor skins and figuring out where they go, what skins are available, and what planes they alter. Here's what I have so far:

F-14A-IAF
Installation: F-14-IRIAF-Sand
dds: 3336-3341

Image

F-14A- Blue splinter camo
Installation file: F14TOMCAT-BLUESPLINTER
dds: 2535-2540

Image


F-16CJ- NSAWC Desert camo
Installation file: NSAWC_VIPER
dds: 3399-3406; 3161; copy 3161 and rename as: 3162-3167; copy all files into Object folder
Notes: there is also a Marine skin, same camo pattern (I'm Navy, so gotta go with that skin!)

Image


F-16B- Blue camo
Installation file: F16B-Blue Aggressor
dds: 2378-2390

Image


F-16C+ Flogger camo
Installation file: F16C-Flogger Aggressor
dds: 2043, 2054, 3612-3627

Image


F-5E Snipers blue camo
Installation file: f5 Aggressors
dds: 3925-3929

Image


F/A-18C- VFA-204 River Rattlers desert camo
Installation file: Unknown (can't remember)
dds: 2013-2018, 3297

Image


F/A-18C- Blue splinter (homemade)
Installation file: I made this one! Not publicly available yet...
dds: 2019, 3291-3296

If you have any questions about the skins, let me know.

And, again, many thanks to Fafa for hosting these wonderful skins!

After much hard work, I have the following aggressors for the OpenFalcon Nevada install.

I'm not going to bother listing the .dds numbers- it took forever to manipulate the skins to fit. The best thing to do will be to zip these up and let fafa host the whole pack.

The nice thing, so far, is that the F-16C block 30 seems to have 4 slots, so all of these skins are for the block 30 Viper. I'm sure I can work out some more eventually.

The Tomcat skins are all jacked up.

Definately. I want to develop a scenario eventually that has no F-15Cs on the BLUEFOR side so we can insert those beautiful F-5s and F-15s into OPFOR when he releases them.

The easiest thing to do, if/when Nevada is something worthy of a new update, is to package up the skins as a package that folks can unzip copy and paste all at once.

We're not there yet, but if I can ever get the scenarios working...who knows? I really, really think I can make something happen here. I just need to keep working through Falcon, figuring out how to get it to do what I want it to do.

the best solution is dedicated, tweaked database to hold all cool skins. a long-term project for dedicated theater modders.

if not, a simple tweak is-- take F-5 for example, you use F-5 solely for aggresor role, so add more skin sets to F-5 lod.. this can be done with LodEditor. in this way F-5 may show up with different skins in campaign, randomly.
