Thanks, is the PreludeII SDK in there?

I don't have Adobe Photoshop and I am not planning on buying it, could I please get that in a bitmap format so I can make
skins?

Paint.NET can open PSD files, and is very easy to use. you can get it here: http://www.getpaint.net/index2.html

Note that you need a plugin to save it as a DDS file, which you can get here:

It also apparently needs a plug in for PSD files. Default in the drop down are the usual bmp, jpg, gif, png etc. and it's own
file types. After a Google search I found it here:

It's supposed to be that way.

I made it to look like the red stock DG, since the DGIV doesn't have one, while the DGIII does.

GIMP will load the PSD files, also.

Googled and found a DDS plug-in for GIMP at http://nifelheim.dyndns.org/~cocidius/dds/ .

Just tested the configuration, using the sample "ATV" repaint. It works well, as long as one flattens the image before saving
it as a dds.

yoann · Reply #14 - 16 May 2007, 16:44:05

c'est normal que le premier des 4 fichier psd soit un fichier dds ?

DanSteph · Reply #15 - 16 May 2007, 16:49:53

Vi, pas besoin de PSD sur cui la... soit on l'edite directement soit il reste comme cela. C'est juste le sas.

Never mind, it works with my GIMP.

Nice, it looks good. I even put a VIP named Dan Polli in there.

I keep forgetting to turn the DGIV skin back to the original way it was opened. I had landing gear on my wing!!

Oh well, back to the drawing board. I have a killer idea for a DGIV scenario set, and sure enough, I want to make a
killer skin too.

Cheers,

MattNW · Reply #19 - 17 May 2007, 05:34:37

Anyone have any idea what the UVMap is for in the PSD file? If I leave it in when I save the file it draws the lines on the
finished .dds file. When I leave it out I get a good skin. I can't see any difference other than that on the finished product.

It is to show you where stuff like the cockpit is.

Dommage que l'on ne puisse pas changer la texture de la soute "cargo_bay"

Enfin j'ai déjà de quoi m'amusé, merci Dan ^^
Les psd sont bien organisé comme toujours
