is there a simple way to make skins for the dg4?

DGIV skin sdk.

You might need paint.net or the gimp (with the import funtion for psd) to edit the psd files.

Then export as dds

Ah! Don't insult yourself! It lowers your self-confidence!

Would it be possible to send me/post the source files for the NASA/Shuttle skin - I just want to make some adjustments to it
to turn it into a CCCP skin - all credit to the original author, of course.
Merci beaucoup
Kevin

You should be able to open dds files if you get the right program

kipper · Reply #10 - 06 November 2007, 23:30:26

Yeah, but I am a hopeless graphics artist and reckoned if I could take somebody nice white DG IV - e.g. the NASA one, and
replace the markers with some simple Hammer and Sickle Flags and CCCPs I would be in business!!!

tl8roy · Reply #11 - 07 November 2007, 00:49:52

download paint.net and you should be able to edit the dds files that you can downlaod

StarLost · Reply #12 - 08 November 2007, 16:32:31

Note that Paint.NET will not open Adobe Photoshop files. I have converted them to a Paint.NET project files, but am waiting
permission before mounting them somewhere. Paint.NET will output dds files.

I have no problem with opening the Photoshop files. There are plug-ins availible!

Grumble... grumble... People all eager for a DGV when the DGIV was just released a few months ago... Just a second... Why am
I grumbling? I'm not Dan. Hey, Dan! You got a prospective release date for the DGVI? :P

(And why does the forum software keep inserting a hard return into the middle of the above paragraph?)

Maybe somebody should make an FS Passengers skin for the DGIV.

James.Denholm · Reply #16 - 19 November 2007, 08:44:41

That's how free software works. No-one respects the author. Poor Dan.

Actualy, if you look at the DGIV downloads page, there is a DGIV skin dedicated to Dan. It's the DanPolli (that's his
real name) one, try searching for it.

It is actually the very first skin that was created by the SDK. Go to the bottom of the last page and you shall find it.

James.Denholm · Reply #18 - 22 November 2007, 09:32:25

True. I remember when I tried to keep up with it all and download everything that went onto that page... and then I
gave up.

Kadet · Reply #19 - 14 December 2007, 01:35:32

Christmas is coming soon, anyone want to make a skin about it?

Kadet · Reply #20 - 14 December 2007, 01:37:11

Well if nobody can make one, how about some skins in honor of the shuttle fleet history(Including Enterprise)?

Kadet · Reply #21 - 21 December 2007, 21:16:01

hmm... no one wants to make x-mas or shuttle fleet skins eh. Ahwell, it was a good try.

James.Denholm · Reply #22 - 22 December 2007, 00:43:57

For crying out loud, Kadet. You CAN do it yourself. Its like the President of the US asking Australia or the UK or
whoever to invade a country because he can't be bothered. You know the materials you need (Gimp and the DGIV
Skin SDK). You have an internet connection (obviously). You know of a handy little site at www.google.com and you
know where the G, I, M and P keys are on your keyboard.

ok ok, geez man calm down, I know that I'm a bit annoying, but still it's like my science teacher says"I'm smart but I
don't know how to show it".I'll try, no I will do.
